tungsten have arrived in Swansea ana
hroHeht with them large samples from
the outcrop of the veins. They belleVe
thev have one of the largest PROPOSE

close to water and fuel and the mining
of the mineral will be accomplished
with less expense than anywhere , IN inc
country. Some of the hills ranging
along Bin Williams fork show large
areas veined with the tungsten.

that property had reached depth OF
over 100 feet and that progress was
being made. Sinking to deeper ievel
will be maintained until deptn Oh at
least 1o0 feet below the old workings
was obtained. In breaking into the
vein good ore was ghown to be in evil
dence and it is expected that a great
body of ore will be found on the deep
level. The mine has been a producer
of exceptionally ricn ore in the past.
