TUNGSTEN IN WHITE PINE

Although everybody in this part O.
Nevada knows that great tungsten
Doom is on over in White Pine county,
definite information as to the extent
of the finds has been lacking. Fred l..
Miner the well known mining writer
who left here last week to take the
position of promotion agent of the Ely
chamber of mines, tells the facts in a
letter:

miles east from ELY, and extending
north and south the range for approx.
lmately 20 miles," Miner writes there

veiopment and production, the most

three more soon will be; the hills are

posits of this rare and valuable metal.

to light almost daily.

which they brought to Ely, were worth
over $500. Many others are following
