DETERMINING VALUE
OF TUNGSTEN ORES
FORMER GOLDFTELD WRITER
EXPLAINS METHOD USED IN
RAISING VALUATION

sIn view of the increased pubic
interest in tungsten, there seems
to he a lack of intelligent informa-
ton regarding what is meant ny d
certain percentage of tungsten aclo
in the ores or concentrates, salo
Fred l.. Miner, a prominent min
ing writer today. ITO make this
plain. it way be stated that the
percentage of tungsten acid is de-
termined by chemical tests in mucn
the same way as the percentage OF
lead.

cent oxygen and the rest is tuns-
site acid, practically all oxides Deing

amount of oxygen it contains, ana

oxide. from JUTS lOIm IL ~
verified into hardened steel.
If 60 per cent tungstic acld
ore is worth say 500 per unit OF
tungstic acid, a ton of ore contain
ing 60 units or 60 per cent in tung-
site acid would be worth $4,000.
In the same way, if copper is
worth SIS a unit, Is per cent copper
ore would be worth $125 per ton.
The price per unit for tungsten ore
increases materially according to
the higher per cent of tungstic
acid it contains.
THE cheelite upon which tung-
stem pres are now produced has a
low ark of 8 per cent, quoted at
ST. a unit, or $4S per ton. Ten
per cent ore is quoted at 1872 pei
unit, or $500 per ton; Is per cent
at $34 a unit, or $50 per on. The
scale per unit increases as the
quality improves, 80 per cent ore
being $37 a unit or $1,110 per ton;
40 per cent ore is $40 per unit, or
$1,000 per ton; As per cent ore
commands $45 per unit or $2,025
per ton; and quotations on go per
cent ore recently reached $165 per
unit at Boulder, Colo, or $4,000
per ton.-Reno Gazette.

MORTGAGE THAT WAS
GIVEN BY MARK TWAIN

That Mark Twain. in his adven-
turous career in this state in the
COS, was broke on at least one
occasion is attested to by a docu-
ment recently found by Auditor
Clyde Johnson, while copying coun-
ty records in his office. The doe
ument was executed at Aurora,
which was at that time in Esmcr-
aida county, and is dated Aug. ),
1868. 1t states hat II months
from the date mentioned S. B
Clemens promised to pay T. K.
Hutchinson or order, 81 900 with
interest at five per cent per month
from date until paid. The mort
gage was given on a lot on Ar
telope street in Aurora. The in.
terest rate would today be consid-
cred exorbitant.

Some Trio This

Henry Yelland, a lion slayer
of Taft, in Spring valley, near Ely,
recently trapped three mountain
lions on three alternate nights.
Two of the lions, on account Of
their youth, apparently not quite
two years old, measured but eight
feet. The third, which had evil
IDENTIFY attained maturity, was over
II feet long. Yelland's catch on the
fourth alternate night is not stated
and it may be that in pursuance Of
a safety first" policy. he did not
set the trap.

CHILDREN'S AID
 DROPS D. N. HEWES
Position of Managing Director of Newington Home Abolished in
 Stormy Session Yesterday.

Stormy Session Yesterday.
 Dwight N. Hewes, managing direc- tor of the Connecticut Children's Aid society, which maintains the home at Newington, was deposed at the annual meeting of the society at Hartford yesterday afternoon. The meeting was held in the Center church house and owing to the fact that trouble was ex- pected the newspaper reporters were kept without. The meeting proved to be quite as stormy as was feared and it was only after many ballots that MT. HeWes was defeated. The position pays salary of $2,0O0. Although Mr. Hewes was busted from the position of managing director he was reelected @ third vice president a purely hon- orary position.
 The trouble began a week ago at the annual meeting of the directors, which voted to abolish the office of managing director by a vote of 17 to '. At that meeting A. J. Birdseye of Farming ton put up a fight in favor of MT. Hewes and a long and sharp debate followed. The fight was resumed at the annual meeting of the society yes terday ana alter several votes anQ lHe bringing in of proxies, which were subsequently, stricken out, the final vote stood 29 to 2S against the man aging director. It Is understood that two new members, Austin Cheney of South Manchester and Mrs. John Hal sey Buck of Hartford were prime nov CTS in the attack on MT. HeWes, taking the ground that the scope of the work should be extended and a new man with a larger salary should be Se- cured.

PLEASES STREET
Southern Railway Makes a Fine
Showing for the Month
of February.

IN the phraseology OF the Street, the
buying OF stocks was better than the
selling yesterday. Traders said the
feature Of the market was the small
supply OF actual stock pressing for
sale. Naturally, in view Of the news
developments over Sunday. including
unfavorablc advices from Mexico, and
disquieting reports regarding the sink
ing Of the Sussex, with American oiti-
zcns on board, selling was 70 be ex-
pccted. rs a matter Of course. There
was a small amount Of scattered liqui-
dation at the opening, and this. coupled
with the operations Of the bear Gle
mcut. drove prices down rather sharply
for time. But it was notable, accord
ing 20 the traders, that when prices
had got down pretty well the offerings
dried up" This tended TO make the
bears nervous. Most Of the action was
concentrated in the opening and clos
ing hours. In the period between
there was very little Of interest In the
proceedings, and the session bore ear
marks Of a midsummer market. In
eli. around 100000 shares were traded
in Yesterday, Of which 100000 was
done IN the first hour, and around
100000 shares in the last II was con-
sidercd significant that II took less
buying TO rally prices than 1t had 10
