ANTHONY DISTRICTS

Hope Based on Recent Discov-
cry of Economical Method
for Releasing Metal.

Deadwood, 8. d., Mar. Inquiries
are being made regarding the deposits
of anthony bearing ore In tho Silver
City district on Rapid creek, following
the announcement of the discovery by
a French metallurgist of a method for
extracting the metal, much more eco
nomically than has been Tor in the
past. This combined with the recent
increased demand for the metal, be-
cause of its extensive use in the man
ufacture of automobiles and in max
lng those matches which must be
scratched on a preparation attached to
the side of the box, has revived pros
pectlng for the metal in practically all
the camps of the country, where it is
Known to exist. The matches referred
to and the preparation mentioned, are
composed of about one-third antimony
and the use of this character of match
has increased phenomenally in the past
year.
The Silver City antimony belt x
tends about n mile south of Rapid
creek and a mile and a half north.
1t varies in width from a quarter to

There la never been any doubt in
the minds of those familiar with the
district that proper management and
the necessary capital might nave long
ago transformed the camp into a
producer, but there have been seri-
GUS obstacles to contend with, in
Guiding the disposition of the old
timers to hold their properties at
prohibitiye prices and in some cases
refusing to sell at any price. If the
owners of ground there will treat pros
pective purchasers fairly, there is a
prospect of a big excitement in the
district.
