Quartz Crystal Need In
War Effort

There is now definite posi-
bility that more Ashe county
minerals may be used in the war
effort; for plans are now under
way to determine the value of
quartz crystals found here.
The Withers Gem and Mining

is now making a survey to dis
cover whether or not rock crys-
tails of any value or quantity are
to be found in the county.
Douglass Acosta, with offices
in the Tucker hotel, is represent
ing the company here.
Mr.. Acosta said that if any one
had crystals in any quantity, he
would be glad to investigate
them It was pointed out that
the crystals must be perfectly
clear and free from flaws and
fractures and that they must be
tested before it is determined
whether or not they can be used
Crystals are used for oscilla-
tors in radio sets for tanks and
planes and ships.
Most of the supply in the past
has been shipped from Brazil
Several deposits exist in this
county as we'll as in other sec
tons of Western North Carolina
