WHEN studies of deformation texture, lattice stress, and crystal orientation are made, it is frequently required to know the interplanar angles and subsequently to embody the results of the investigation in a stereographic projection. Tables of

THERMODYNAMIC data for solutions are best derived from a combination of equilibrium and calorimetric studies. However, the accurate measurement of heats of mixing of metallic solutions at high temperatures presents considerable experimental difficulties, simple calorimeters1-3 giving

I do not know that I can do any more than to express my entire concurrence in the views which have. been already expressed by Mr. Macdonald. It appears to me that he has we over the wholz subject. I might add in regard to appealing to the Govern-

WAGNERL described the thermodynamic behavior of a metallic solution consisting of the solute components 2, 3,... at very dilute concentrations in the solvent, 1, in terms of the excess partial molar free energy, or alternatively the logarithm of the activity coefficient. In the Taylor expansion of FiE, by neglecting the second- and higher-order differential terms, he obtained the excess partial molar free energy as a linear function of the composition:

This year, Great Britain is looking back over a century to August 14, 1850, the day when the first "Act for the Inspection of Coal Mines" was passed in that country, an act which signaled the end of over two hundred years of hitherto uncontrolled and dangerous mining practices.

E. G. Spilsbury, Trenton, N. J.: Mr. Case's paper possesses much interest for me, because my attention was called many years ago (early in the seventies) to the deposit he describes, and his explorations seem to have confirmed the predictions I then made as to the form of the deposit, namely, that the ore would be found to occur, not, as was then imagined, in loose boulders, distribnted

Mercury is the latest ecological disaster. It was believed to be no pollution problem because it is heavier than water and expected to fall to the bottom of streams. But the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) found that mercury in a dozen states and several Canadian provinces was being ingested by fish. A Deadly Dose First to sound the alarm was Canada when a graduate student's research revealed that mercury contamination in Lake St. Clair had reached 1.4 pmm. which is almost three times the 0.5 ppm the FDA's allowable maximum.

A. K. Bhasin, (Development Engineer, Marcona Corp., San Francisco, Calif)-The author suggests the use of the term "consistency" for apparent viscosity and accordingly calls his viscometer a "consistometer." However, he goes on to refer to "consistency" as a combination of plastic viscosity, yield stress, and stability (p. 104, col. 2, line 6). Unfortunately, such conflicting terminology is encountered too often in rheological

The history of iron ore milling in Chile can be divided into two periods: the first, which lasted about 40 years, ended in 1952 and the second continues today. During the first period, Bethlehem Chile Iron Mines Co. was the sole shipper and El Tofo, the only mine. That situation was forever altered in 1952 when several small independent companies began to sell ore. The success of these companies triggered programs of exploration which can only be described as a "boom" during the past five years.

In the Carlsbad area potash is dry-mined and wet- concentrated. Wet concentration involves recirculation of saturated brines, with resultant difficulties of brine disposal and inherent losses in recovery through solution of the KC1. A dry beneficiation process for potash minerals would offer many advantages over present methods. International Minerals & Chemical Corp. has been working on development of a dry process for some time. This article is a progress report.

THE original trucks at Castle Dome were 30-ton Knuckeys with 150 hp, H-series Cummins engines and 15-ton Euclids with the same engines. The Euclids were used early in the operation, working with 2 1/2-yd Diesel shovels on stripping and later in opening new benches where the lack of room favored the smaller trucks because of their shorter turning radius. They have also been used on road building and similar jobs. On regular production, where the 30-ton trucks can be used, they are not economical.

Australian research scientists at the University of Melbourne's Institute of Materials Research have discovered two methods of extracting metals from raw ore, using brown coal. The discoveries could lead to extensive new markets for the brown coal producers of Australia (boasting the world's largest brown coal deposits in the Latrobe Valley region of Victoria), the United States and West Germany. Research on the extraction processes began at the University's Department of Metallurgy in mid-1969 under the direction of Geoffrey Cullen, manager of the Materials Research Institute. In June of this year. Cullen announced that both metal extraction processes, using brown coal, had proven successful.

Higher freight rates and better methods of beneficiation now may make it more economical to open inferior deposits closer to a glass factory than to work higher-grade deposits farther away. Nature of impurities and special treatments as well as common practice of sulphuric acid leaching are described.
