With Keene's cement, ornamental work of the finest type can be dons and status pillar floors and wall rare and lovely finish similar to that of marbt mads, Porsosslng the demand for Keene's cement and plaster as wall as other the American gypsum product Plaster company has taken want over all of the ameta and bustnea of the American Gypsum company, formerly operating at Sigurd. Utah. on the Denver A Rio Grande Western railroad. The company own dear title to 2300 sere of what Is said to be the highest grad gvpeum In the United State and also twenty aerea of alun-- it Over 2,000.000 tone of this gypsum. M per cent pur can be mined above ground sad peer 250 000 ton of al unite. In fact, ao great is the total amount of these minerals above ground that the engineers of the company estimate there Is a supply adequate for 100 ysaraf operations. By combination of the alunits and the gvpeum. under the Adamson prooeaa, the patent rights to which are solely owned by the company, a Keene's cement and plaster can he evolved which scientific and practical tests prove to po sweat from 20 to 22 per cent mere tensile and 26 per cent greater crushing strength than any other like product on the market. Patent plaster, when wet by a leak, age of any. kind, cracks and crumble while Keenes plaster made by the Adamson process can be even heated and then wet without harming the wall, la fact, so successful has been the use of ttte Utah product on the coast, both as a heat resistant and lira retardant in building that demand Is constantly growing. pos-aess- C-- Superiority Proved. Demand for gypsum tils Is Increasing as rapidly aa that for Keene's cement product since government and private investigations have been made regarding the merits of this particular building material. Careful tests have proved that gypsum has 40 per cent more resistance to heat conduction than other partition materials and that It Is 0 per cent more efficient as a nonconductor of sound. Its light weight makes it particularly desirable In putting up large buildings. Moreover, It Is more easily and economically handled than any other material Gypsum til is th only structural building material that has passed the required test and received the approval of the Underwriters Laboratories for nonbearing partitions and stairways and elevator lnclosures In Th fireproof construction heat resistant quality of this building material is exemplified by a test BUY Utah.

On of the features favoring the Utah Industry Is Its nearness to a matket which can handle all that the The Sigurd plant can manufacture. success had by Piclfio ooast builders w 1th tha I tah is resulting in product inquiries being received from Japan, Mexico and South America., The only other lqrge-tcaand permanent Kerne's cement manufacturing plant in th country Is that of the Best Brother t Medicine Lodg Ken. Th lowest freight rate the eastern company can get frpm Kansas to the coast is $12 to the ton, while that from Utah to the coast is $2 10. Another factor In favor of the company Is its low manufacturing cost. Under the Adamson process patent, owned entirely by the company, coverceing the manufacture of Keene ment by a mixture of alunu and gypsum, th product can bs made at a cost, according to officials of the company, of from 21 to $2 per ton less than with th use of alum In fact, ao Ideally is th plant of th company situated with ragard to supraw materials and ply of to market, that It can make Keene s eement cheeper than other companies make Portland cement.

The us of small amounts on various crops works amastng results Unltsd states agricultural experimental stations report that the yield of alfalfa has been Increased from (0 to 1000 per cent. An Interesting fact In connection with this use of th mineral is that Benjamin ErankUn was one of the first to Introduce th us of the material In America as fertiliser. He had had a field of red clover that sloped down to one of the main roads to form the following words- - "Land Piaster Used Here Ben Franklin. The words soon became conspicuous to paasersby. due to the luxuriant growth and deep green color of th fertilised portion. Having a practically In exhaustible supply of this material, valuable In Its raw state as a fertiliser, the American Cement and Plaster company plans to make this branch of the business an Important part of its activity. Built. Th manufacturing plant of the company consists of a mill building 226 feet by 60 feet. Concrete and steel have been used throughout. The building has been erected In such a manner as to care for a plant of capacity far in excess of present Equipment consists of modplan em crushing, conveying, sacking and storage machinery.

From sixty to ninety days will be needed to accomplish the Increase of the plant's capacity, the length of time depending upon th promptness with which machinery deliveries are made. At present the mill has a capacity of about 600 tons per month. The mill is situated on the banks of the Sevier river, ao that there Is available a supply of water adequate for aU purposes.

It Is not believed that oil shales can be worked commercially for their potash. Much discussion has been aroused by reports that various Investigators have obtained gefid, sliver and plati num from oil shales, usually by secret processes.

It existed only as traces of th order of 9 01 ounce per ton. worth about 30 cents No ailvsr or platinum haa per ton been detected.
