Rare Mining Product.

Rare minerals which are being mined
at Long Hill, eight miles north of
Bridgeport, Conn, are being used by
the United States government in
series of experiments to find a projec-
tile that will pierce the heaviest and
hardest armor plate. The products of
this mine are wolfram and scheelite,
the two being found in combination so
far nowhere else in the world. They
are, however, found separately, scheel-
tie being found in the gold mines of
New Zealand, but it does not equal
either in quantity or quality that which
is being mined at Long Hill from the
Shaganowaump Mountain Wolfram
is found in small quantities in Utah,
Arizona, and the tin mines of Corn
wall, England. This combination makes
the value of the mine extremely great
Wolfram and scheelite are the ores of
tungsten. At the present time the
products of the mine sell from $3.50 to

orously with his whip all the time. He
will drive good horse, and that means
very fast trotter, and if horse he
has bought does not please him, no
matter what the cost of it, it is just sold
for what it viii fetch.
