WHY NOT DEVELOP
U. S. MINES
Just now an effort is being
made to lay up stocks of
nickel, tin, antimony, mer
cury, tungsten, manganese,
optical glass, and other raw
materials that a nation will
need if it makes war.
Tungsten, which is requir
ed for the making of high
speed cutting tools, comes
from China, Bolivia and
Burma. Manganese, neces
sary in most types of steel,
is imported from Russia,
Brazil, Cuba, the Cold
Coast of Egypt. Tin for
bearings and various alloys
comes from the Malay sta
tes, Alaska, Canada, China,
and other Oriental countr
ies. China and Mexico pro
duce most of the antimony.
Italy and Spain furnish
nearly all of the mercury,
the mulk of optical glass
for making binoculars is
from Germany and France.
So we are going to import
and store up these mater
ials, which, of course, is
simply good sense IF we
cannot produce them our
selves.
Now let’s see the facts;
We can, and we do pro
duce a fine grade of manga
nese. We are buying it
from Russia because it is
cheaper than our own—
cheaper to mine because
Russian wages are less.
We can produce nickel,
and we are producing some
but we buy from other
countries because they can
undersell us. We have
plenty of tin, but we im
port it. Ours is either un
developed or cannot com
pete in price. Large quan
tities of mercury were min
ed in this country, when
the price was up; more can
be produced. Antimony al
so has been and can again
be produced in this coun
try. Tungsten seems to be
lacking, and this we must
import, unless supplies or
substitutes are found. Here
is a job for our scientists.
We import chiefly because
of price. Wouldn’t it he

that the report of Mr. Walk
er and Mr. Haas, as well as
the statements contained in
its prospectus, are incomplete
and inaccurate in divers mat
erial respects. We share the
belief."
Mineral Indicator
Phillip Haas was a fruit
grower up to about 10 years
ago when he took up the work
of detecting gold veins. He
has no scientific training or
education as a geologist or
metallurgist, yet his report as
described by the registrant as
the report of "Prof. Phillip
Haas, scientist and geologist,
with a world-wide reputation
an inventor of the mineral in
dicator." Haas appeared as a
witness. He produced what he
called a “vibrator”, the so-call
ed “mineral indicator”. He
said it worked "on the prin
ciple of affinity * * * like ra
dio”. It consisted of a leath
er covered cylinder about
two and a half inches long,
hanging at the end of a leath
er thong approximately two
feet long. Haas refused to dis
close the contents of the syl
inder but he testified that it
did not contain a mechanism,
and counsel for the registrant
hinted that it contained gold
ad examined witnesses on the
assumption that it contained
a weight of some sort.
Affinity for Gold
The operator determines
the gold content of the ore by
counting the number of cir
cular oscillations of the in
strument when held over the
ore body, 25 oscillations indi
cating one ounce of gold per
ton of ore.
Mr. Haas described his in
|strument as follows:
