FIND new ORE
BEDS IN SWEDEN
Second Largest Copper Deposits
in Europe Are Reported
by Government.

Stockholm largest deposits OF
sulphur ore and copper ore ever dis
covered in Sweden, and the second
largest copper deposits in Europe,
are the subject of an exhaustive re-
port just published by Axel Gavelin,
chief of the Swedish governments
geological research department. This
new wealth of ore, the presence OF
which was detected recently by the
use of electrical Instruments, lies in
latitude IS north, near Kusfors sta
tion. Tests already made by Mr.. Cav
elm show that the copper ore contains
as high as 10 per cent of copper, the
average run being estimated at ! per
cent, While the sulphur content of the
sulphur ore is as high as 41ia per
cent. II is estimated that this new
mining field will yield annually 1900
tons OF copper and 100000 tons of sui
phur ore. The possibility of getting
so large a supply of native sulphur is
to Sweden, as it can make all OF the
Norrland sulphite cellulose mills in
dependent of sulphur imports.
Other Metals Found.
Mr. Gavelin also reports the dIscoy-
cry Of zinc, arsenic, gold, silver, lead
and anthony, but the veins of these
metals are believed to be too small for
profitable exploitation. Research is
continuing and further important dis
coyeries are probable.
