The Mica Deposits.

An effort Is being made to increase
the tariff on India-Mica, 1t being re
ported that there was scarcity Of the
native article in this country. Being
situated as we are, in the center Of the
tin and mica zone. it behooves us to be
up and doing in this matter. 1t is an
industry right at our door that needs
protection. The opinion prevails thro'
out the East that all the mica mines in
the United States is controlled by the
Westinghouse Electric and Manufactur-
ing Company. This is an erroneous
impression, for there are numerous de-
posits in the Black Hills that are neither
owned nor controlled by that company.
though they have some holdings in this
immediate vicinity.
In order to ascertain the status of the
mica deposits in Custer county a meet
ing Of the Commercial Club and our cit
izens was held at the court house Tues
day night, Z. L. Grantham presiding,
and Henry Z. Way secretary, whereby
plans might be devised for concerted
action in gathering information about
this mineral. Quite number of mica
claims were listed with the secretary,
giving area of claim, amount of devel-
ment work done and approximate ex-
tent of deposit or vein.
A committee consisting of j. E. Pileh-
er, NJ. Willis and Fl. E. Way, was ap-
pointed to gather all information they
can about this mineral as it has become
an important commercial product. They
will be glad to receive any information
you may choose to give them of the
mica deposits hereabouts, such facts and
figures to be presented at the meeting
of the Club next Thursday night, Feb.
4, 1909.
All information obtained upon this
subject will be compiled and sent to
Congressman Martin, who will present
such facts, as obtained, before the Ways
and Means committee in Congress, for
consideration. Mica bel ng a home
product it is an important matter for our
section of country, and each one should
bestir himself to gather all data possible
in time for the meeting next Thursday
night,
