RICH Vein STRUCK In INDIA
Deposits of Wolframite Found in
One Of the Central Provinces.
Prospects of Fortune for American
Mining Engineer, Who Has VAL
uabIe Concessions There.

Calcutta. Feb 2-The New India. :"
concerning which so much is heard in
these days, has other and perhaps more
important features than the mere polit-
zeal ones. Already in a country for so
long solely dependent in agriculture may
be seen the beginning Of an industrial
development undreamed OF one genera
tion ago. and nowhere. perhaps is this
development more striking than in the
central provinces, a tract which down
to recent years was almost purely agri-
cultural
The central provinces. of course. are
particularly well endowed with mineral
resources. The development Of the man.
ganese industry is perhaps the most strik-
ing feature of the last decade. But i'm
portant as is the discovery of manganese.
another discovery may prove more i'm
portant still.
Mr. Kellerschom, an American mining
engineer. some time ago obtained a con-
cession Of part of the village Of Agargaon.
with view of obtaining manganese
Agargaon is situated some twenty-five
miles southeast Of Nagpur. He had en-
ployes digging in bank of mica schist
rock that traverses the village, and dis
covered number Of rocks of heavy min
eral- which, on being examined by the
geological survey at Calcutta, was found
20 consist OF woIframite.
This wolframite differs In appearance
and constitution from the best-known
specimens but it yields on ANALYSIS no
less than 81 per cent Of tungstic acid.
which IS equal to that contained In the
best ores OF Calcutta. The existence of
wolframite in Agargaon has been proved
in numerous stringers at intervals ex-
| tending over a length Of /, 400 feet. and it
has been found at the opposite ends of
the mica schist rock ten miles apart from
each other.
Should the mineral be as persistent at
great depths as in America, where il is
/ being mined at depth of 400 feet. tho do
posit will be a very valuable one indeed
It is believed that it viii be found at
