TELLURIDE DISCOVERY IS

Acéoraing to & well known, i. =
jave prospector, the discovery of a
large orebody at the Gold Telluride
group at Fremont Peak as reported
In the Mojave Record, is of great
economic importance.
The telluride ore of Crfpple Creek
and Kalgoorie, Australia. has produced for years a considerable amQa mt of ‘the worlds’ gold. The ore is
of gieneous origin and occurs by replacement in the country “ rock of
deep fissure. The pay shoots. often
extend hundreds. of feet in length
to great depth.
The Mojave desert, noted for its
ore deposits, offers a new field to
mining men in the exploration of its
lodes for gold tellurides, unknown

There are many mines in the im. mediate vicinity. The Clearinghouse,
for instance, has been worked for
years and now at a depth of 1200

LONG BEACH EXPOSITION .
JULY 27 TO AUGUST 13
California this summer expects to
entertain the greatest influx of visitors in its history with the Pacific
Southwest Exposition at Long Beach,
Tuly 27 to August 13, the mecca for
tourists and travelers from all parts
of the United States, Canada, Mexico and other foreign lands.
The Pacific Southwest Exposition
is the largest. enterprise of its *kind
attempted in‘California since the
world-famed Panama-Pacific exposition at SanFrancisco
Diego exposition, both held in 1915
The event is to be staged in comMmemoration of the landing of the
Spanish pardes, depicting the cultur
al and commercial progress of the
entire Pacific Southwest and its evo
lution from a colorful romantic
Spanish domain to a bustling world
mart.
Having assumed international as:
pects with pledges of participation
at the present rate of consumption,
if none is imported. This is, however, of lower grade than the foreign .
deposits and runs about 41 percent.
Plenty in California
In California, according to C. A.
Logan of the state. mining bureau,
chromite is found in twenty-four
counties and shipments Were made
from twenty-two in 1917. The deposits are usually. in -lens or -kidney
formation in serpentine, and easily
mined.
The mineral is blackinsh brown in’
color with a brown stréak and submetallic luster. It is easily detected
and the state was well prospected
during the boom days.
Has Many Uses
The largest use for
been for refractory
open hearth steel which
use about two and a half pounds of
chromite for every ton of steel made.
Because of its properties of extreme
furnaces,
hardness, resistence to acids and
toughness, chrome is being used
more and more for the: making of
chrome sfeel alloy. 4t is a constituent for rustless steel stainless steel,
and other’ special alloys. It is cleetroplated on steel and takes a polish
so that it can replace nickel as a
plate.
The automobile industry now uses
large quantities of chrome,
ly in bearings, rods and other points
where a good wearing surface is. desired,
Another use is,.a chemical
making dyes, pigments and in tanning and bleaching. About 27, per
cent of the consumption is for these
purposes.
