Mica to the Front.

The readers of the CHRONICLE will re
member that mention was made some
weeks ago of the presence IN this citv of
numbe. of Minnesota capitalists. Who
were looking up mica properties and
examining them with view to invest
| ing. Prominent among the party was
DIR. N. Lehnsn, n technical and analyti
cal chemist of Minneapolis, and he at
that time secured an option on the B. h
NJ. mica mine, owned by III. J. Orr, j.
b. Foster and others of this city. Last
Saturday morning the doctor returned
to Custer, and on Monday Of this week
the sale of the mine was consummated,
and the deed filed for record. The pur-
chase price has not been made known to
the public. but it may be said with as
surancs that il is somewhere in tie
thousands. In making the purchase
DR.. Lennen represented a number of
well known Minnesota capitalists who
until the incorporation of the their COM
pany is completed, do not wish their
names mentioned in connection with
the deal. Paul Kleemann of Custer has
been appointed their resident agent,
and for the present at least he will have
sole charge of their affairs here with
authority to take options on other mica
properties.
The increase in the number of pur-
poses for which mica may be used has
greatly enhanced its value in the last
two or three years. and it is believed
that the product of the Southern Hills
has been found to be especially adapted
to electrical uses All the gentlemen
interested in the transaction are for
reasons of their own exceedingly re.
ticent in regard to the conditions Of the
sale and the intentions of the new own
ers. and under the circumstances it in
not surprising that they should be 30.
The fact that the organization of the
company is not yet completed, is of it.
self valid excuse. That the company
is expecting to commence operations on
large scale is evident from their pur-
chase here, the one at Point Of Rocks
some time ago, and their readiness to.
negotiate for other promising mica prop
critics. DIR. Lehnen and others are ex-
pected to return to Custer some time
next month, and il Is not improbable
that other sales will be made before
they leave.
