DEVELOP TUNGSTEN MINES,
Westerners Get Busy as Result of
Great Demand.

The great demand for tungsten has
recently led to an extremely energetic
development of the tungsten deposit
eight miles west of Bishop, Inyo county,
Cal. The deposits were discovered in
1913, but remained practically unknown
until the spring of 1916. Trails and
roads were built, ore bodies were open
ed up, mill was erected and electric
power was brought in.
The ore bodies, which have been visit
ed by an expert of the United States
geological survey, are remarkable, and
in fact are of a kind not mentioned by
the recognized authorities on ore de-
poSits as a commercial source of tung-
stem. The ore consists of scheelite as
sociated mainly with garnet, epidote
and quartz. The general country rock
is granite, but in 1t are scattered
masses of limestone which became
mineraliZed at the time when the
granite cooled from a molten condition.
The limestones were altered to masses
of garnet carrying subordinate scheelite
by the metallic vapors then given off,
and these are the ore bodies now work
ed. The deposits, like those recently
discovered near Lovelock, New, belong
to the so-called contact-metamorphic
class, well known source of copper,
but not heretofore recognized as a
source of tungsten.

The firmer tone which developed in
the cotton market yesterday was in

some or points. but rallies followed

Little interest was displayed in the
primaries held in Mankato yesterday.
Less than 500 of the more than 1000
voters voted. General Apathy was in
command all day and the judges and
clerks of election had but little to do
all day and up to nine o'clock last
night, when the polls closed.
There was a scarcity of democrats
and the republicans did not fall over
one another in their haste to get to
the primaries. There were men who
had forgotten all about the primaries,
and had to be reminded that there was
an election on. 1t was not like this in
the oldcn days when party caucuses
were held and the "b'hoys" were on
the job and all of 'em saw to it that
the faithful attended the caucus and
