Develop Tungsten Hill Property

Lawrence Parker, one of the prin-
cipal officers and stockholders of the
Tungsten Hill Mining Company, with
properties near Copeland, was a bus
mess visitor in the city several days
this week.
A large crew of men are working
at this property and Mr.. Parker is
certain that he has one of the most
valuable mining properties in the dis
trict. He states that a recent assay
of ore taken straight across the face
of the vein shows high gold values
as well as scheelite. This gold will
plate SO to $40 while the scheelite
values run to $500 per ton.
The men working at the property
can all make better than wages treat
ing the ore by hand. At. this stage
of development work Mr.. Parker in
tends to put in rock crusher and
two units of concentrating tables.
This equipment will cost but about
$4,000 and with it the company will
be able to put the property on a
paying basis in much shorter time.
