Geological Survey The production of crude borate ma terials in the United States in 1914 MONDAY EVENING, HXRRISBURG AUGUST 2, 1915. was 62,400 short tons, valued at sl,- 464,400, as compared with 58,051 tons in 1913, valued at $1,491,530. This is an Increase In quantity of 7Vt per cent, according to Charles G. Tale and Hoyt S. Gile, of the United States Geological Survey. All the crude bor ate material now used In this country Is the mineral colemanlte. The pro duct during 1914 was obtained from three mines, all in southern and south eastern California, the larger part coming, as usual, from the Llla C. mine of the Pacific Coast Borax Co., in the mountains of Ae Death Valley region of Inyo County. During the year this company completed a calcin ing plant at Death Valiey Junction to roast the lower gradt. ores before shipping theqn to New Jersey to be re .flned. It also completed a narrow gage railroad from the Tonopah & Tidewater Railroad at Death Valley Junction to the Biddy McCarthy and Monte Blanco mines of the company in the Furnace Creek region, which have not- yet been operated. The Sterling Borax Co., near the border of Los Angeles County, was second in production. Two grades of ore are mined and are roasted to re move impurities. On calcination the colemanlte content of the ore Is dehy drated and becomes a fine powder. The Stauffer Chemical Co., of San Francisco, which was once interested In the borax mines at Lang, has ob tained a controlling Interest in the holdings of the Russell Borate Co.. in the Ventura district. This company hauls the ore 35 miles to rail and ships it to San Francisco for refining. The By paying a small deposit sum, any furniture will be reserved for future delivery. season ia limited to about seven months in the year on account of heavy roads in winter. A 40-foot deposit of colemanite ia reported to have been discovered at a depth of 370 feet by ranchmen drilling for water about 4 miles from Rich station, in the Kramer district, San Bernardino County, Cal. Chile and the United States lead the industry with approximately equal output of borates, or boric acid and borax, each producing in round num bers about 40,000 to 60,000 metric tons of crude ores, mainly calcium borates. Turkey probably stands third in rank of production ot 14.000 tons reported as boracite: and Peru, Bolivia, Italy, Argentina, and India are also producers. The price of borax crystals is quoted. as 3 % to 4 cents a pound, though it rose to 4* to 4 % at the very close of the year. The price of boric acia crystals, which is normally 7 to 7 % cents a pound, advanced to 7% to BVj cents at the close of the year. The tying up of some foreign sources of supply, as, for instance, the mines on the Sea of Marmora, and the interrup tion of foreign business has created somewhat larger demand for the Am erican products and a slight rise in price may be expected. How Queen Edith Made King's Festival Robe Ancient Anglo-Saxon Ijidics Employ ed Time In Fine Needlework. Not long after the Anglo-Saxons. had established a firm footing In Eng land, their evangelization began and as Christianity developed the people became skilled with the needle. Anglo-Saxon ladies of all ranks, not excluding royal personages, spent much of their time at embroidery. Little or nothing remains of the do mestic needlework of this period, but it was in accordance with the spirit of th« times that their best efforts should be devoted to the service of religion. Among the royal workers may be mentioned Edith, the Queen of Ed ward the Confessor. William of Mal meßbury states that this lady herself embroidered the rich robes worn by the at festivals. This royal art Is now the fashlon .able, aa well as useful, pursuit of Am erican women and placed by this pa per's great coupon offer in reach of every woman reader.
