FIND TUNGSTEN &C..
NEAR SALIDA
(coatinued from first p.gs)

claims. Among those who staked the
first claims were w. L. Philbis, DR..
schafter, j. II. Finger and 3. G. Newby.
Other men who hurried to the dis
trict were M. H. zook, E. J. Temple
ton, Gus Murson, Lou Swallow, Con
Waggener, N. G. Figley, Jud Mahoney,
the Rev. P. J. Gallagher and John
Stephens, conductor on the D and
R. g. railroad.
An assay made Of Boyer's strike
showed three and one-tenth per cent
tungsten, this being the first quantita-
tive analysis made since the excite
ment began.
Boyer, the negro owner, staked the
claim last December and took in Ray
Hanks Of Salida as partner. They
had developed the property considera-
bly, and had sent samples to various
parts of the country for assaying. Re-
Gently they sent shipment of a small
lot Of ore to the steel works at Pueblo.
Inquiries made last week Of Boyer
by q man from Pueblo and two men
from Canon City caused Boyer's inter
est in the mine to soar upward. They
made him an offer for sale of the prop
erty, and though this inducement was
more than he thought the mine was
worth as mangneses prospect, he de-
clined it.
With his interest re-awakened, the
negro suspected there might be some
thing else in the ore besides mangan-
ese, and without delay he delivered
samples for complete assay.
The aasayer refused to believe on
first tests that he had actually found .
tungston color, it is said, but second
analysis corroborated the first. A sec
ond assay confirmed the findings of
the first tester.
A small rush to the district was inn
mediate. Several claims were staked
out 1t once in the new field, which is
located two and "a half miles above
Wellsville above the Craig quarry. and
on the opposite side Of tho same gulch.
The following day, it is reported the
field was bristling with new stakes.
Frank P. White of SaGda is said to
have had knowledge of tungsten on his
claim in, the same district Tor twenty
years, but the ore has never been
worked. ..-.
Mrs. NJ. D. Waldo, roaming over the
hills neat there a year ago, found
piece of,Sre which on analysis showed
tungsten, ,,sbut she has never been able
to, relocate the spot where she picked
up the specimen though. her general de-
scription corresponds with that of this
new district. .-....
Possibility of fight for title to
Boyer's claim developed when H. ii.
MeCauley, who was in salida at the
time of the strike, claimed the discov-
ery had been made on property the
title to which he disputes with Boyer.
Some of the new ore is said to bear
no resemblance to ordinary tungsten,
but other specimens showed in salida
resemble the Boulder county ore. All
sslida assayers are said to pronounce
that the strike looks good. Mining
men believe also, it is reported, that
the lead on Boyer's claim will improve
with depth and that the Wellsville dis
trict will prove rich in tungsten.
Interest over new possibility in
mining was never greater among Lead
vile prospectors and mining men than
their present interest in tungsten AMI
other newly famous metals. Numerous
prospectors have been heard discussing
their plans for extensive exploration
this summer. Their interest in this
metal was responsible q few weeks ago
for the big crowd which attended tho
meeting of the Metal Miners associa-
4ion when tungsten possibilities were
discussed, ind the same interest is ex-
pscted to bring out second record
