T1tkln MINER
That tungsten, one Of the rsre 0stals,
hos been found in this district 10 sAswu
by the following letter froM he Nenry
z. Wood Ore Testing Compsay, of Den
yer, to Andrew Lejune, one Of Pitkin 4
prominent mining men:
IF you are concentrating ores like
smelter lot 135, you should be able te
cut oat q high grade streak of tangsten.
This might require some saditiona
cleaning work but then it could be sold
- tungsten and the remainder of the
ore go to the smeter Ms usual.
"You will notice that our assay con-
firms the presence Of tungsten in the
sme'ter shipment.
The sample of ore you sent appears
10 be scheelte. We find the tungsten
ecid in this sample of ore to be as 3 per
cent. We are in the market for such
grade of tungsten ore or concentrates
and will pay from $25 to $50 per unit for
same, that is e25 per unit if of As per
cent grade, or $50 per unit il cencentra-
ted to a 60 per cent grade by yourself. u
The samples were taken from pro
perty recently located on the north side
Of Gold hill just over the range from
the old Procupine property. and Mr.
Lejune says that he and Chas. and Har-
ry Stiles have large vein of the ore
Since it has been determined that this
mineral which no one knew heretofore
is tungsten and commands such high
prices, local prospectors have found tina,
the vein or dyke extends clear across
Gold Hill. All vacant ground have been
staked and properties that have been
undergoing development in that vicinity
are said to have some of this valuable
mineral on the dump.
A mill for concentrating this ore will.
in all probability be erected.
