OF INTEREST TO MINERS
Government Needs Certain Minerals
to Carry ON the War.

To make available the rare minera
resources of Idaho the State Univer
sity geological survey, in cooperation
with the United States geological sur.
vey, is planning to spend the summer
in search for certain minerals need
ed in carrying on the war. The fol
lowing minerals are in great demand
for munition manufacture: Tungsten
minerals, molybdenite, tin (cassiter-
ite), quicksilver (cinnabar), mangan-
csc, chromium, platinum, mica.
In former years a large proportion
Of these minerals has been imported
from foreign countries. The shortage
of ships, combined with the increased
demand, has made it necessary that
these minerals be now produced at
home. Owners Of properties contain
ing deposits of any Of the above men
toned minerals, or who suspect the
presence of these minerals in any ap
preciable amounts, should send sam
Piles to the Geological Department,
School of Mines, University of Idaho,
Idaho, where they will be ex-
amined. If samples are found to con-
tain any of these minerals, blank
forms will be sent to owners to fill out
in order to get definite information as
10 location of property, etc. During
The summer geologist will visit the
districts and examine the properties;
samples will be taken,
,hese will be analysed and the results
will be published in the form of bull
etin during the winter.
Owners of properties submitting
to the School of Mines will,
therefore, be helping the government
n the task of carrying on the war,
nd in the event of these samples con-
aiming commercial quantities of these
they will be also serving
heir own interests by having their
roperties investigated.
