korty & Co., aSsayers, have on exhibit
ton at their place of business several
bars of antimony which were brought in
by a miner from Coyote, Garfield county,
under the impression that he would find
ready sale for it here, but in this he
was disappointed, and, although Brice of
Chicago at one time was hot after this
metal. the local market could not stand
25-pound lot, and the prospector went
home disappointed after disposing of his
bullion to Mr. Korty at 10 cents a pound
The antimony in question is the pure
stuff and proves the fact that this metal
exists in commercial quantities in Gar
field county, and parties looking for this
commodity could probably find in that
locality all of this mineral they desired.
