The magnetic iron ores of the Rees & Wilder tract, Unaka Mountains, East Tennessee, and North Carolina, so far as examined by me, are peculiar in containing considerable quantities of the mineral zircon in dark red-brown crystals, ranging in size from one-tenth of an inch, or less, to five-tenths of an inch in length. As zircons are decomposed by fusion with alkalies, the constituents may exert some favorable influence upon the iron product, which is generally acknowledged to be of superior quality. New Haven, April 20th, 1878.

A systematic method is presented for analyzing and improving energy costs in surface mines. Each mine is divided into drilling and blasting, overburden haulage, ore haulage, crushing and grinding, and lighting system. Specific methods of improving the energy costs of each system are discussed. Contributions of simulation and queueing to energy cost reduction are also discussed.

E. E. THUM, * Salt Lake City, Utah (Written discussion ?).-Dr. Fulton's paper sheds a great deal of light upon questions which have perplexed many who have studied the metallurgy of zinc, and have fruitlessly brought forth several hypotheses and reams of discussion. It would be a bright day if others would follow Dr. Fulton's example, for, as a

For the benefit of those of our members who are considerable holders of securities, but owing to their isolated situations are not in-close touch with the metropolitan market and current quotations, we are publishing two very interesting graphs, showing the course of the bond and stock markets in New York over a long period.

B. C. MADDEN, JR.2-My comments have no connection with any particular paper; however, since we have talked of stress-corrosion cracking of aircraft parts, cartridge cases? coffee urns, bridge wire, etc., I feel I must mention the apparent significance of this symposium being held in Philadelphia, where perhaps the most famous stress-corrosion crack exists-that of the Liberty Bell. This noon I took advantage of an opportunity to see the Liberty Bell; I commend it to your attention. CHAIRMAN C. S. Cole 3That is true, the illustrations close at hand are the ones we often overlook.

Anderson: Will, I have known you for only the past 30 years of your extraordinary mining career, and have often wondered just how it got started. Wright: I suppose you might say it was largely a matter of heritage. My father, who in 1886 was one of the founders of the Michigan College of Mines, was Michigan State Geologist until his un- timely death in 1888.

A properly designed pre- and post-grouting program aided with coherent construction sequence and adoption of flexible design approach provide a practical combination to solve excavation problems in a hostile rock environment: intensely fractured and sheared. The Pacheco Pumping Plant demonstrates the utility of an engineered grouting program.

Data for mining applications of geophysical activity in the Free World in 1963 has been collected by the Committee for Geophysical Activity of the Society of Exploration Geophysicists. This information has been made available to the AIME and is published here in abstract form with the kind permission of the SEG. The data is based or1 244 responses (51%) to the questionnaires circulated among 475 worldwide organizations engaged in mining geophysical operations and or research. It is believed that the data is a realistic appraisal of actual world geophysical activity.
