Arsenic at Plymouth

George Wishart, GeOIogist Employed
by a New York Firm, Reports
FavorabIy on Minerals Found at
Plymouth Five Corners.
George Wishart of Carmel, N. Y,
whose Investigations as to alleged
deposits of arsenical ore in thevicin-
ity of Plymouth were referred to in
The News several days ago, has re-
turned to Rutland to further prose-
cute the matter, says the Rutland
News. He is greatly interested in
conditions in the section which he
has examined and has become
thoroughly convinced of the useful
ness of the ores in that vicinity, as
we'll as confident that this part OF
Vermont in general is possessed of
undeveloped mineral wealth.
Mr.. Wishart proposes to put men
at work at once prospecting and
producing ore at Plymouth Five
Corners, on tract of land he has
secured tor the New York ore con-
Germ with which he is associated as
expert. Mr.. Wishart describes this
ore as an arsenical pyrite, which car
ries small values in free gold-esti-
mated roughly at So per ton.
Mr.. Wishdrt is a director and the
secretary of the Slipp-Butler COM
pany of New York City, a firm OF ore
and metal agents and dealers. He is
also manager and secretary of the
Putnam County Mining corpora
ton of Carmel, N. Y, a large pro-
Queer of arseno-pyrite.
All these ores containing arsenic
are shipped to Europe, there being
no reduction plants in the United
States which can cope with them.
The oxide of these ores forms the
base of paris green, and is also used
in many otherindustries.
1t is stated that the arsenical ore
found in Plymouth and vicinity can
be shipped to the reduction plants
in Germany profitably at SIS per ton,
laid down in the foreign country.
This represents the arsenic value,
the gold to each ton being extra
profit.
