WHY STEWART is STRONG.
Information That Control Has No,
Passed to A. S. 4 r.

0ooou " ~ D. q n.
The last issue Of the New York
Mining Age, discussing the strength
of Stewart stock on the New York
curb. accounts for it in the fact that
the Heinze holdings in Stewart. even
II acquired by the American Smelling
and Refining company. would still be
100000 shares short of control which
could only be secured by the smelter
people in the open market The Min
ing Age says:
stewart Mining shares were firmer
in the curb market during the week
on the report that even If the Amerl-
can Smelling & Refining company
takes over the block of 100000 shares,
or Whereabouts, Of Stewart stock nv
pothecated with the Assets Realization
company, the Guggenheims will stil
need about 100000 to secure control.
"Mr. Heinze is the only stakeholder
Of record with that amount OF stock
standing in his name.
professionals argue that the Gug.
genheim interests will be compelled to
enter the market and buy enough
Stewart shares to make control.
AT the Offices Of the Stewart Min
ing company officials refuse to afflr, N
or deny the rumor that the American
Smelling & Refining company is dick
ering for the big block Of stock in the

Greenland Natives.
The most ancient mining methods
are repeated today among primitive
tribes. Nordenskiod found Greenland
natives with spear heads hammered
out from meteroic, in central Asia,
gold is washed out in the most prim-
tive way, and that in pebbles is lost
because the natives do not know how
tc crush the pebbles into dust.
The first American mining was car
ried on fully 1000 years ago by the
mound builders. They operated chief
ly in the Lake Superior country. Ex-
cavations have revealed that they
came in the spring and left in the fall.
II $4,000 of them worked every year
It must Rave taken them 900 years to
make some of their excavations. Their
pits extend 80 miles or more from On
tonagon to the tip Of the Keweenaw
peninsula. Twenty carloads Of stone
mining tools were found in one small
district OF the Isle Royale. The In
dams followed the mound builders
and handed down no traditions. White
men began copper mining in the Lake

timated by Frank l.. Hess Of the U.
s. geological survey to be the pro-

tons Of terberite as compared with
S12 tons in 1912.
According to Mr.. Hess tungsten ores
were produced in six of the western
states .clorado, California, Idaho,
Arizona, South Dakota and Nevada.
The output for the year was equival-
ent to lo3. tons Of ore carrying from
so per cent Of tungsten trioxide and
was valued at about $640,500. The
production in the three preceding
years was 1880 tons, valued at $780,

in 1911; and 1921 tons, worth 1892, 1892
in 1910.
The Atolia district, California, was
the second largest producer, and still
makes 'arger production of scheelite
than any other district in the world.
Nearly all the output was produced
by the A.o!ia Mining company, but
small Quantities were also produced
from several mines at Atoia and the
Stringer and Randsburg districts on
the north.
Some h1bernite was produced in
the Arivaca mountain region in
southeastern California. In Arizona
scheelite vas produced in the Old Hat
district, AZ miles north of Tucson.
Other than the Atolia district, this is
the only district in the United States
from which a production of scheelite
is made.

The United States is practically a

as by-product in the electrolytic re

the nickel used ir the United States
comes from the mines at Sudbury
Ontario. These mines also furnish

mines in 1913 is estimated at about
100000 short tons of ore. most OF

1872 the production Of these mines
was, according t. the Canada depart :

After the Sudbury mines the mines
