Report of Expert Well
Known In Tacoma

Tacoma Wash. March %, 1913.
To The Tacoma Times:
l have just returned from trip to the Ellens
burg Silica deposit of the Washington Farm De-
velopment company Having put but day on
the property, am not in position to make fully
specific statement, guarantee that 1 would
not modify make stronger some statements, after
more thorough investigation of the property.
The quantity of silica may be greater than prev-
ously claimed, as the depth has not yet been
plumbed at any point where tests have been made.
Twelve excavations have been made, some of them
being IL to Is feet deep.
A solid mass of silica about two feet under
ground appears to cover the tract without breaks.
The silica is probably pure as any deposit yet
found in the United States.
I think that the statements made in Saturdays
Times apparently not exaggerated and that the
indications most favorable in every way, both
to quality and quantity of the silica deposit.
