TUNGSTEN IN CONNECTICUT.
Some Interesting Facts About
This Rare Mineral.

Rare minerals which are being mined
at Long Hill, Conn, eight miles north
of Bridgeport, are being used by
the United States government in series
of experiments to find a projectile that
will pierce the heaviest and hardest ar
NOR plate. The products of this mine
are wolfram and sheelite the two be-
ing found in combination so far no.
where else in the world. They are, how
ever, found separately, scheelite being
found in the gold mines of New Yea
land, but it does not equal either in
quantity or quality that which is being
mined at Long Hill from the Shagano-
waump mountain. Wolfram is found
in small quantities in Utah, Arizona
and in the tin mines Of Cornwall, Eng
land. This combination makes the
value of the mine extremely great. VOL
fran and Scheelite are the ores of Lung-
stem. A the present time the pro-
ducts of the mine sell from $3.50 to 5000
ton, and the owners of this mine con-
troll the worlds market for tungsten.
Some sixty years ago the discovery
of the combination of the minerals at
Long Hill was made, the fact appear
ing in book published in 1887, by DR..
b. u. Sheppard, ON the geology of
Connecticut. Scientific men gave as
the explanation for the deposit the
fact that Shaganowaump mountain was
once a volcano, and that while the
eruption of the volcano WIS in progress
the chemical changes superinduced by
the intense heat took place and left in
layers about the hill limestone as the
first stratum, and underneath the lime
stone the combination layer OF wolfram
and scheelite While the volcano was
in action the tungstic acid acting on
the limestone produced scheelite, and on
the iron ore produced the wolfram
At the present time the mining being
done is simply surface mining. Thus
