TUNGSTEN IN COLORADO.
Fortunes Being Made from Finds in
Boulder County.

SS'1Si SSNbhys
The tungsten area of Boulder coun-
ty, Colorado, was never so active as
at this time, according to M B. Tom
blin of the Colorado bureau of mines.
In accounting for part of the rapidly
increasing consumption of tungsten
1t Is found that the makers of the big
ARTILLERY are using 1t very literally in
the manufacture of siege and other
high-power guns. Another use for the
metal is in the making of cylinders
for automobiles, owing to its high-re-
slsting quality. This and the other
various lines of superior steel manu-
facturers have so quickened the de-
mand that every undeveloped acre of
known tungsten bearing ground in
Boulder and North Gilpin Is under
eager search for the mineral.
For instance, two children engaged
in picking up surface tungsten float
aboat the Nederland region and selling
it to the big operation companies re-
Gently received 5000 for their collec-
ton. Again, two men engaged in the
same line of work realized $4,000 from
their six weeks work. Human and
partner are clearing about $1,000 a
week from their lease on the Cold
Spring mine. The Wolf Tongue COM
pany, one of the four purchasers of
tungsten ore, is paying out some $4,000
a day for ore. The pioneer company
has lately increased It's working force
to 100 men, The camp is producing
from $4,000 to $4,000 worth OF ore
daily. A carload of forty tons of so
per cent concentrates is worth $4,000
cash.
The district Is alive with men taking
ore from developed properties and
opening new veins. Nothing like pres
ent activity has been witnessed in that
region. Every piece of tungsten
ground is either yielding ore or is occu-
pied by men searching for it.

CRAZY MANS CLAIMS.
Samples of Ore He Carried Show Good
Values in Gold.

values in Iolu,
Two years ago a middle-aged pros
pector who went insane bordering
over the riches he would have when
his mine was developed, was captured
by the Butte police in a Main street
rooming house, says the Anaconda
Standadr. He had armed himself with
guns and several clubs and Chief Muir
ply expected to fight, but the prospect
or came along when allowed to bring
sack of ore. For two years the ore
laid in an obscure closet in the city
hall and City Detective Morrisey un-
earthed it last week. An assay was
made and the ore, over which the pros
pector went insane, went SIS ton.
When committed to the asylum the
gold seeker said he had a good vein
of it and that, like all other prospect
ors, he only needed money to be rich
man.
The records at police headquarters
do not show who the prospector Is
and now Detective Morrisey wants to
investigate the claims made by the
nan. The district court records, it is
expected, will show who the man is.
Maybe he had a right to be crazy"
aid the new chief of detectives as
he moistened some of the ore and
showed specks of gold to his audience.

BUYING ORE.
What Unit Means as Applied to Tran
sactions in Ore.
Denver Mining Record.

Denver Mining Record.
Present high prices for metals bring
many inquiries regarding the value Of
various ores, and confusion exists as
to the meaning of the word unit when
an ore is quoted at certain price per
unit. The unit is simply 90 pounds per
Iavoirdupois ton, or 1 per cent of the
weight The use of the term makes
for q certain range of flexibility in ore
shipments under contract, and Is
convenience to all parties to an ore
contract For instance assume the
quotation for tungsten ore delivered
in New York is $40 per unit for so per
cent ore. This means that the ore
must contain at least go per cent tung-
site acid to meet the requirements,
and that it will be paid for at the rate
of $40 for each / per cent-or 20
pounds per ton-of tungstic acid. So.
| If a shipment contain ton and a half
of ore assaying ga per cent tungstic
acid, it's value at New York would be
Ga times $40, or $3.50 per ton, or 49,
$40 for the ton and half shipment.

SAVE SAGE BRUSH ASHES
CONTAIN MUCH POTASH
DISCOVERY THAT SHOULD PROVE
PROFITABLE TO SETTLERS
ON SAGE BRUSH LAND.

With a Pennsylvania firm expert.
menting with jackrabbit fur to make
hats and with Virginia firm Offering
to pay good price for sagebrush pro-
ducts it looks as though the waste
places of the desert may be made tc
yield something to the homesteader
after all, says the Idaho Falls Register
Take a 320-acre dry farm claim in
the heart of the jack-rabbit population
and where the sagebrush is thick, il
might be possible to make the combin
alton pay by skinning the jacks and
burning the brush.
The jacks have to be gotten rid OF
anyhow, as we'll as the sagebrush, sc
the combination might as we'll be
made to pay.
The following from the Desert News
should be interesting;
The Phoebe Record says that a few
days ago M. l.. Lee, cashier of the
Bank of Phoebe, received letter from
operating at Richmond, Va, Offering
him 100 per ton, t. o. b. Phoebe for all
the sagebrush ash sent during the next
half year The product is to be placed
in sacks for shipment
Experiments in Nevada.
1t appears that experiments made
recently at the Nevada university de-
veloped the fact that the ashes from
southern Nevada sagebrush contain a
sufficient amount of potash to make
it worth while. These experiments
were conducted by Prof. Romance
Adams and it was through him that
the Virginia Chemical company was
placed in touch with Mr.. Lee and a
for the product. It is claimed that
samples of the ashes sent to the lab
oratory of the chemical company con-
tanned a base of 81 per cent of soluble
potash and it is here that the launch
ing of a new industry in this state be-
comes interesting.
Srom parties who have read up on
the subject it has been learned that
the extraction of potash from desert
growth is not new; that 1t is now be-
ing practiced in Australia with a con-
siderable degree of success. Author
tiles on the subject assert that the
burning of sagebrush will produce an
ash product of from to 10 per cent;
hence, based on the lower figure, one
ton of crude sagebrush would burn to
140 pounds of ash, and this product
being worth five cents per pound
would give a return of IS, out of which
would have to come the expense Of cut
ting and burning the brush, sacking
the product and delivery to the rail-
road station.
1t is surprising, to say the least, to
learn that the plain sagebrush, which
travellers over the desert have been ac-
customed to use for firewood is actual
ly valued at So per ton and a acton
carload $4,000

as a matter OF fact, real and true
strength can only come from the food

they haven't 'enough iron in their blood

condition they know something is
wrong, but they can't tell what, SC
they generally commence doctoring for

caused by the lack Of iron in the
blood. This thing may go on for years,
while the patient suffers untold agony
If you are not strong and we'll, you
owe it to yourself to make the follow

BRITISH LAB0R
DECLARES FOR WAR
Vote to Sustain The Govern
ment Was AM yerWhelm-
ing One.

BRISTOL, Jan. 27.-British organi-
ed labor on the first day of a confer.
ence which has attracted worldwide
attention, out.voted the extreme So.
cialiSt anti.war section and adopted
two resolutions expressing the patrio-
tic resolve to carry the war through.
James Ramsay Macdonald, Social
list and labor member Of Parliament
for Leicester, and Philip Snowden, So
cialist member for Blackburn, by the
power OF their eloquence, tried to per
suade the delegates to vote against
the motions, bat when requested to
define their position clearly, made
eyasions and were unableto convince
the conference.
One representative Of the Socialist
section, when asked to state terms on
which the Socialists would have par
ticipated in a voluntary recruiting
campaign, declared: ION no terms"
He Immediately lost his hold on the
delegates who were Overwhelmingly
in the opposing camp
Strong denunciatton of CONSUMPTION
was made, but the pledge of Govern.
Ement support was passed in advance
OF considering the other issues. The
conference BY a majority Of 1~,s47s06o
to 100000, reversed its former atti-
tude regarding the war.
It could be seen Immediately the
conference began that a1large body OF
delegates favored supporting the Gov
eminent, and when the 600,0 900 miners
threw q unanimous vote into the bal
ance against the antf-war movement,
the success Of the patriotic resolution
was certain.
