"A very large gold nugget Is said to
have been found the other Gay in a
wild bees nest In Australia. The story
seems likely enough, for Australia has
yielded all the really monster nuggets
to date-the "Welcome" weighed
2,195 troy ounces and was valued at
s4S, 5O0-and one Of the biggest was
discovered by prospector who
stubbed his toe against a projecting
angle OF it.
< Gin the Wind river Indian reserva-
ton, In Wyoming prospectors look for
grains Of gold brought to the surface
Of the ground by ants. And in Ari-
zona anthills are a common source
Of excellent garnets which are
fetched to the surface by the industri-
Gus insects.
During the war. we had grievous
need Of antimony to harden shrapne'
bullets. Fhe latter are Of lead, but
require the addition Of Is per cent Of
antimony to enable them TO hold
their shape when the containing shell

Accordingly, the government sent
out experts to look for deposits Of

Longyear Busy at Mansfield

John NJ Longyear has been busy
all winter drilling south OF the old
Mansfield mine The operations are
under the immediate supervision OF
his son Jack" Longyear who has re-
doubled his efforts at exploring since
he came back from the army.
Results obtained from these drill
ings are carefully concealed from the
public and only the most roundabout
source is open for news from the ex-
ploration.
II is known that very encouraging
formation has been met with. 1t is
claimed that options have been asked
on a large territory extending to quite
distance down the river to the south
OF the old MansfeM mine.
All those acquainted with condi-
tions at Mansfield have been certain
in their own minds that the drilling
would result in rich body Of ore be-
ing found.
