ISOMETRICAL drawing and clinographic projection are generally preferred to perspective drawings for representation of small objects or complicated mechanisms, as they present to the eye a sufficiently accurate picture of the object, while they possess great advantages over perspective in the simplicity and rapidity of execution, and the facility they give for taking measurements directly from the drawings.

Booz-Allen & Hamilton management consultants has recently completed a comprehensive study of Brazil's minerals and metals sectors for 40 leading international and Brazilian companies. The 220-page study describes the activities and Investments under way in 25 key commodities and assesses the current state of Brazil's economy, the impact on domestic minerals and metals industries, and government minerals policies.

Feeders and Grizzlies are links of the utmost importance in the chain of milling operations, but, hitherto, the close analysis granted to other equipment has been withheld from these machines. The development of. the self-clearing drop-bar feature, the result of many years' practical study of the problem, has made possible a machine which will

AS the available remaining properties of iron ore reserves on the Mesabi Range are opened up for mining, the various properties located under lake beds are brought nearer an active status. The actual physical problems involved in stripping these properties do not act as a deterrent so much as the legal and political problems that are encountered.

Through the remainder of this century, world consumption of fluorine per ton of primary aluminum produced will continue to be substantially reduced. Growth of the primary industry will offset some of the unit consumption, but demand for new fluorine sources will decline sharply. Continued application of dry fume scrubbing systems will be the most significant factor in reducing demand.

Some of toe magnetic properties of minnesotaite (general formula: Fe3(OH)2Si4O10) were examined. Toe paramagnetic susceptibility values at various temperatures were determined from toe slope of toe magnetizing curve. These values were then compared with toe theoretical values estimated using toe Bohr magneton numbers for toe paramagnetic ions contained in toe missesotaite.

Many important discoveries of mineral deposits have been made as a result of routine exploration for oil and gas. Through the presentation of three hypothetical case histories, including cost data, the author shows how mineral evaluation can be performed during routine petroleum drilling operations and how mining companies and oil companies or oil operators can cooperate in such endeavors.

This paper describes the present state-of-the-art and status of longwall lighting in the U.S.A. Specific subtopics discussed are as follows: review of MSHA lighting regulations and requirements for longwalls; overview of available lighting hardware; installation procedures and costs; analysis of installations to date, including operator and management acceptance, complaints, benefits, and maintenance considerations.

At the Glen Summit meeting of the Institute, held in October, 1891, the writer presented a paper on the results of stream-measurements of the United States Geological Survey, reviewing briefly the data obtained at that time.* Since then the investigations have been steadily continued and enlarged, so that at the present time about 150 river-stations are main-

A. P. Greenough (University College, swansea, Great Britain)—I have recently made some experiments on the deformation of silver wire at high temperature in an atmosphere of oxygen-free nitrogen. The observa-tions which 1 made confirm the main conclusion of this paper, that the most satisfactory mechanism so far suggested to explain the deformation which takes place

Traditional mine planning concepts are discussed and suggestions for improvement through use of the developed model are proposed. The approach developed in this paper allows optimal planning of the complete mining-concentrating-refining system over the entire planning horizon and permits the system to dictate how and when to process a block of material, i. e., a dynamic cutoff.

IRMANN'S' discovery that extrusions of fine alumi-num-flake powders possess remarkable high-temperature strengths has led to the production of a new class of engineering materials whose properties are derived from a fine dispersion of oxide particles in a metallic matrix. A fundamental study of such materials and elucidation of the mechanism whereby the oxide parti-

Recently the Colorado Engineering Council was formed "to coördinate the work of various technical, scientific, and engineering organizations, promote the welfare and professional standing of their members, and foster a more general recognition of the engineer in civic matters." The membership consists of local associations of members of the national engineering societies and other local engineering, scientific, or technical associations.

Our SUCCESSFUL plants in the West were at first erected on a small scale, and as their business has been built up, have been added to gradually as their limitations permitted. They have had to adapt themselves later to their circumetances, making the best of drawbacks, and putting up with much which, had it been originally allowed for, would not now impede them.
