SOON TO MINE TUNGSTEN
IN ROUND MT. DISTRICT

crushing with a non-sliming mill, wet
consisting of nearly pure ~hubnerite, is
then marketable at the rate of $3.50
per ton at the present quotation Of
$3.50 per unit of tungstic acid.
"The price of the concentrates for
a number of years has not been below
So and last year ran up to $3.50 per
unit, making the product worth 5000
per ton.
"The increased use of the metal
makes the demand always in excess of
the supply and consumers are anxious
to contract for two years ahead for
the product at the mine.
"The wash on the hillsides below the
numerous outcrops of the veins all pans
free hubnerite that has come from the
erosion of the vein material and in
many cases runs from n to two per
cent. This would pay well were it not
for the difficulty of handling he ma
terial in a thin layer on a steep side
hill. In the main gulch into which this
material from the whole district flows,
however, the conditions are so favor
able for working large quantities OF
material at a low cost, that the I'M
mense amount of tungsten known to
exist in the wash in the gulch can be
recovered at a large profit.
Figuring the guleh an average of
80 feet wide and 20 feet deep, 1000
feet of the gulch contains 100000 tons
of wash. Carrying one per cent this
would contain 1000 tons of hubnerite
concentrates worth at the lowest price
$3.50 per ton or $550,000. With the
water on the ground the material
should be handled and concentrated at
a cost of $3.50 per ton, leaving a net
profit of $40o,0 DOC.
"The plant required for this material
would be the same as that for the treat
ment of the ores, except that no crush
ing would be necessary. The material
should be screened, the coarse discarded
and the fine concentrated on jigs and
tables.
81 will say that the above mentioned
placer tungsten should be pushed to
production. The claims held under OPP
ton should be secured, for they are SO
far developed that with that on the
rest of the ground sufficient ore Is in
sight to place the property on a produc-
ing basis and warrant the erection of
a mill to produce the marketable con-
centrates.'

tioned.o
When these statements are analysed,
they mean an addition to the Austin
payroll within the next thirty or forty
days, a total of $4,000 to $4,000 per
month. Again, it means by far, the
liveliest fall this camp has seen for
many years and places Austin in the
front rank of the active mining camps
of the state. 1t means an addition to
the men employed in this camp by De-
tober first, at around eighty men, to
say nothing of the men required to OPP
crate the mill, which is expected to be
in commission bythattime.
Six carloads of machinery for the mill
have arrived in the last ten days and
all the carpenters and mechanics avail
able are working ON the job.

A FOUL CAMPAIGN LIE IS
CALLED BY ITS TRUE NAME
To Whom 1t May Concern:

To Whom 1t May Concern: =
My attention has been called to a printed article emanatng from =
Nina, and the paper containing it widely distributed about Goldfed Z
by certain politicians, the article alleging that Charles {. sprague has Z
not paid for certain mining operations in the Bulfrog district. Z
The article refers to the operations of the jolly Jane Mining 8 Z
Leasing company, which for some time operated a lease at Pioneer, and Z
"a forced to suspend operations o. account of lack of funds. Z
In this connection it may be said that the operations were COM I
pany operations, not Mr.. Spragues private affair; that Mr.. Sprague is 4
a comparatively small stakeholder in the company, and that Mr.. I
Spragues personal money went into the operations for a long time in
an effort to tide things yer until sufficient stock could be placed to
soidly finance the company.
Mr.. Sprague is the largest creditor of the company, his claim
against the company being many times more than the aggregate of the
few bills outstanding elsewhere.
Mr.. Sprague is now and has been for some time efecting a re-
organization of the company, that it may not only square up all ac-
counts-and Mr.. Sprague's claim for money advanced has not been
presented to the eompany-but resume operations.
Any statement that Mr.. Sprague is personally responsible for the
bills contracted by the company, IT that he has evaded payment OF
personal obligations relating to the company, is a scurrnous lie issued
for the purpose of injuring Mr.. Sprague's personal character and
standing, for political purposes, and to subserve the purposes of a set
of political tricksters. The parties responsible for the article knew
they lied when they gave it publicity. :

Arrangements are being made to
extensively operate the j.. A. Steven
son tungsten property in Shoshone can
yon, near Round Mountain, which prom
ises to be one of the finest in the coun-
try. Owing to the fact that tungsten
mining is being taken up in several
parts of Nevada, and that comparative
ly little is known about this mineral
and its treatment by the average miner,
the following report ON the Stevenson
property by Percy Train, a Manhattan
mining engineer, will be of interest:
"This property is located on Sho-
shone creek, about two miles from the
! gold mining camp of Round Mountain,
Nye county, Nevada. 1t is about II
| miles from Manhattan, 60 miles north
of Tonopah and rs miles south of
Austin.
"The acreage of the entire tract is
approximately two hundred and twenty
acres.
opinion pine and scrub cedar occur
ON all claims in sufficient quantity for
fuel and mine timbering.
"Shoshone creek runs for 1000 feet
ON the group and carries from 80 to
400 inches of water, never getting be-
low the former number. The topo-
graphy is such that a mill placed on
the creek would be at a lower level
than any of the workings, making a
down hill haul on the ore.
"The occurrence of the tungsten is
in the form of manganese tungstate,
or 'iIubnerite', carrying "a per cent
tungstic acid. This mineral occurs in
form from fine grains to solid chunks
of several pounds weight imbedded in
a white quartz, which is the vein fill
ing in all the veins.
"The veins are small but very nu-
merous, usually running from an inch
to eight inches in width as a rule and
occur in parallel groups of vein sys-
TENS, there often being as many as
from ten to fifty of these small veins
in a zone 100 feet wide.
"The vein system run in different
directions on the different claims, but
are universally parallel in the same sys-
TEN and the general direction is north
and south.
"The formation on all the claims Is
an early coarse eruptive granite, known
as 'Pegmatite.'
SIN one place there is a porphyry
granite contact which contains a large
vein showing tungsten on the surface
but in all others the veins have beef
open assures, cutting through the sole
granite and later filed with Whit
quartz and hubnerite.
"The treatment of this class of orr
is simple and inexpensive. The specific
gravity of the gangue is 2.5 and that
of the hubnerite rs, making an idea
concentrating ore.
"The treatment should be ordinar,

SPREADING IN
 STORY OF COAL AND IRON

Maj. E. M. Tutwiler, who was recently appointed by the Chamber of Commerce chairman of the finance committee of the Story of Coal and Iron in Alabama by Miss Ethel Armes, is introducing the works not onyl throughout the Birming ham district, but in many other sections of the state, as well as in quarters where It Is considered by the committee practi- cal interest in the mineral regions of Ala bama and in the Birmingham district as an investment field may be aroused by the publication.
 Mar. William Woodward was interviewed on his recent visit to this city by Major Tutwiler and favorably regarded the sug- Eestion to have brought up before the coming directors meeting of the Birming ham Realty company the plan to purchase a large number of the books for distri- button. The same plan is under consider ation, at the chairmans instance, of a number of other prominent local con- eerns.
 W IA H. Ford, president of the Birming ham Railway, Light and Power company, has turned in quite generous order for personal copies of the book, to be sent to parties in New York and New Or leans, Just simply as a means,' he ob- perved, ''of encouraging the chairman of the committee"
 At MT Ford's suggestion the following letter has been sent out this week by Secretary Babb to all members of the Chamber of Commerce:
 Oar Sir: Your attention was called last week to "The Story of Coal and Iron in Alabama" published under the auspices of the Chamber of Commerce.

 "'The Story of Coal and Iron is a rec ord of history It is the relation of facts and figures. details of industrial devel- opment, the story of business. and yet 1t is full of interest as a choice work of fiction. It is vigorous and vivid in every page and grips the readers mind and heart from start to finish of the story between its covers.
 This book gives the record of the de- velopment of modern, industrial Ala bama; and Anniston receives her share of attention, as do the builders of this city including the late Samuel Noble This should cause the book to be read with deep appreciation by the people of this city. The volume bears the marks of careful book-making; and simply as a book. will be a splendid addition to any library. Miss Mary Noble and Judge G. B. Randolph have copies of the book and are manifesting considerable interest in the effort to introduce it among An niston people,"
 How are the libraries responding?" Mr. Gordon Crawford president of the Ten nessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Co.,, asked Has the Carnegie library in Pittsburg purchased a copy?'
 He was informed that, according to a letter from the great Pittsburg library to the Birmingham Chamber of Commerce they wanted the book donated, being short of funds to buy books"
 Said Mr. Crawford Well, that isnt t surprising. Have you ever heard the Carnegie libraries referred to as book less libraries?'

SCHOOL GIRLS ENJOY OUTING

The pupils of the seventh grade of the Margaret Allen school returned from Chattanooga Saturday night, where they spent two days visiting points of historic interest. There were in the party Evelyn Smith, Margaret Allen, Elizabeth Wilkin- son, Elizabeth Harding, Lenora Hassen- ger. Kate Smith, Jeanette Ebersoe and Margaret Munger.
 The girss were chaperoned by their teacher, Miss Martha Buchanan, who has been connected with the Margaret Allen school since January. Miss Buchanan, though a Tennessean. has been identified with Alabama through its schools for eight years. having been until recently principal of one of the Anniston public schools.
 Miss Buchanan planned this trip with great regard to the help it would be to her history class. Pleasant quarters at the Patton hotel were secured, guides and automobiles were placed at the dis posal of the party and the 40-mie ride to and from Missionary Ridge. the in teresting trip to Lookout Mountain and the lectures to the girls were some of the things they will not soon forget.
