An immense deposit Of aluminium
clay, known as bauxfte. has been
discovered on the northwest slope
oi Shaw Mountain, near Bose. The
deposit is 125 feeK wide and one an6
three quarters of a mile long. This
deposit was discovered by John NJ.

Twenty five Boise and Nampa cit

Charles S. Gage, a noted metallur-
gist, made tests of the clay at the
mine in the presence of the Boise

a bar of aluminium in a reverbera-
tory furnice. He believes the deposit
will average about Ia per cent
