TO BE AN ADDITIONAL SOURCE
OF PROFIT TO STOCKHOLM
Frs IN RAMBLER MINE.
Conclusive Tests by Reliable Firms
Prove This Rare Metal to Exist In
Paying Quantities in the Ore Of
the Famous Mine-Twenty-fve Per
Cent Added to Value Of Product.

Recent reports of assays and tests
of the ore from the Rambler" mine
make of this one of the finest mines in
the United States, and perhaps the
richest in the state. 1t is now produc.
ing ore that runs not alone high in
copper. but for each ton of copper
there is produced values in the pre-.
cious metal swelling the total to over
$500.
The ore and matte as they come
from the mine are sent to the Chicago
Copper Refining company. where the
copper is extracted, the refining com
pany paying the market price therefor,
which on yesterday amounted to a
little more than 5000 a ton. The re.
fuse matter, called by the refining
company slime" is turned over to the
Rambler Mining and Smelling com
pany, and is by that company sent to
the reduction works al Newark, N. j.,
where it is treated for what are known
as the rare metals-gold. silver. plat.
mum, palladium and the like.
This so-called Slime is not so ter
ribly Shiny as its technical name in.
dicates, as it Is now producing gold,
silver. palladium and platinum amount.
ing to about $1O5 for every ton of cop
per extracted at the Chicago plant.
Formerly. before the presence of the
rare metals became known. it was
thrown away and its values lost in the
dumps of the Chicago refinery.
The following letters to the Officers
Of the Rambler Mining and Smelling
company in this city will be read with
especial interest just now, following
the report of a new and very rich
strike just reported from the famous
mine. The new strike is a body of
very fine ore sixty feet below the pres
emit ore body. 1t is a copper glance Of
better appearance than in the upper
workings Of the mine. bearing out the
Lake Superior idea of better copper
at increased depths, hut o%utshining in
richness many times the best ore from
that lana0As district. The letters are
plain evidence Of the richness Of the
ore. Baker & Co., who make reports
on the precious metals in the ore, are
among the most noted In the coun-
try. and have no reason for jeopardiz.
ing their reputation by an over
wrought report on the product Of any
sample they may be called upon to
test. Their letter follows:

Capt. Nathorst headed an expedition
In search of five Igorotte criminals.
The way led through dense forests.

encountered thousands OF sharpened
bamboo sticks, which the savages had
stuck In the ground at an angle OF IS
degrees. The sticks were the thick

They were hidden in the thick grass.
