I am very much impressed by this manifestation of international brotherhood; the mining engineers on both sides of the ocean have similar subjects to deal with, meet with the same difficulties, expose themselves sometimes to similar dangers…

THE determinations of the specific gravities of a number of samples of lead produced in Missouri, which form the subject of this note, were undertaken with the view of ascertaining if any approximation to the purity of such leads could be reached in this manner. The results would seem to indicate that, whatever value the method may have in the case of the crude and more impure

WHEN geologists began probing the grayish rock mass, natives of Adams County, Pa., called soapstone, they were paid scant attention. However, the soapstone, at first misidentified as pyrophyllite, was in reality sericite schist, a hydrous aluminum silicate whose chemical analysis resembles pyrophyllite, except that it has a slightly higher iron and potash content. In addition to its grayish color, sericite schist is foliated and has a greasy feeling much like that of talc.

The Glenharold mine is a multiple seam dragline operation where many different stripping methods are employed. This paper describes the production operations of over-burden removal, coal loading, and haulage. Emphasis is placed on the methods used to uncover fie seam using draglines, scrapers, and a small shovel.

D. R. Lyons (Republic Steel Corp., Cleveland)— Some tests using wet tables conducted by an operating company to determine the effect of table-water density on the quality of the washed coal should be of interest. The only variable during the testing period was the percentage of solids in the table water. Table operating data are shown in Table XV. The ash content of the washed coal remained constant or nearly so, as the percentage of solids varied while the sulphur content of the washed coal decreased as the percentage of solids increased.

INTRODUCTION The mineral sample is the fundamental unit upon which the mineral appraisal is built. Values derived from the sample are the most important quantitative measurements made in the total evaluation process. The sample value

E. H. BRONSON*—I find this paper very interesting, except that I am not able to understand the derivation of the so-called "realization factor." This factor is defined as the ratio of the size of square opening passing all the feed to the gape of the receiving opening. By this I presume the author means the size of rock feed to the width of crusher opening. So if we fed a 12 in. rock to a 16 by

Drilling and blasting practices in the Morenci open pit have undergone considerable modification in recent years. Changes in the character of the ground being mined, modifications of working conditions, and continuous perimentation have been the contributing factors.

PYROLYTIC graphite may be represented by a stack of overlapping, wrinkled sheets with the graphite basal planes more or less parallel to the deposition surface. Previous work1" has described two stages in the deformation above 2600°C produced by applying a stress parallel to the deposition surface. The first stage occurs at deformations less than about 15 pct and involves dewrinkling accompanied by basal-plane slip and basal-plane reorientation. The basal planes are not perfectly
