TUNGSTEN ORES NOW
ATTRACT LOCAL MINERS
(By John A. Wilson.)
A lew glass test tubos, a spirit
lamp, a bottle of hydrochloric
acid and a small pioco of tin or zinc
are all the appliances noeded for
making a qualitative test for tung
sten. A small piece of the mineral
is pulverized finely and put in a
test tube with diluted hydrochloric
acid. If the mineral is supposed to
be scheelitc, boil the acid with the
mineral in the test tube for about
ten minutes. If a fine yellow powder
is formed, (tungsten oxide) add a
small piece of tin or zinc and tin
solution will turn a deep blue color.
This is a sure indication of the pre
sence of tungsten, but longer boil
t ing may be inquired to obtain the
| blue color if the mineral is wolfra
mite or hubnerite.
The ores of tungsten are wolfra
mite, (FeMn) W04, hubnerite,
MnW04 and Scheelitc, 0a. W 04.
Wolframite is the most abundant
and scheelite the least abundant.
Wolframite generally ocurs in tin
veins and deposits with other me
tallic minerals. The mineral itself
is of dark grey to black color, spe
cific gravity, 7-7 1-2, harness, 5 to
5 1-2 submotallic lustre, dark

Scheelite has been found in place
in Connecticut, where it occurs ir
the contact of limestone with dlo
rfte and hornblende schist gneiss
Veins have also been found in the
Minerva District, Nevada, and it hai
been found in placer workings ii
widely separated localities. Owinf
to its great specific gravity, it wil
remain in the sluice-boxes to the
last and has to be panned out
More than 300 hundred men were
working the desert sands neai
Atolia, Cal., for float scheelite Iasi
fall.- Scheelite is of a pale yellow
gray, brown, white or green color
specific gravity 5.4 to 0, hardness
4.5 to 0 (is scratched by knife, bui
not by a copper coin.) adamant in t
lustre and white streak. Barite oi
heavy spar is the mineral most like
ly to be mistaken for scheelite, as
it resembles it in color, lustre ami
streak. Its specific gravity is lower
being 4.5, but the difference would
be hard to determine in the field
It is also softer, its hardness beinc
2.3 to 3.5. The -surest way of de
termination is by the acid and tin
test given above. It will also tie a
difficult matter to sort out the min
eral so that enough tungsten con
tent be obtained to make it worth
treating and shipping. Ores con
taining as little as 3 per cent tung
stic trioxide are said to be accepted,
and at, say $60.00 per unit this
would make the ore worth $180.00
per ton. Nearly every creek bad in
the vicinity of Nome is supposed
to contain the mineral in abundance
by enthusiasts, and all one has to
do is to get out a ton of it to make a
get-away stake, but most likely it is
not as plentiful as is imagined.
Hubnerite is a mineral of tung
sten which somewhat resembles
wolframite, and it is usually found
associated w'ith this mineral in tin
veins and in crystalline rocks. It is
brown to brown black in color,
gives a grayish-brown streak and si
of about the same specific gravity
and hardness as wolframite, it is
being mined in Nevada and occurs
in the York region.
The most important use of tung
sten is for the alloy ferro-tungsten
and in the manufacture of high
speed tool steel. I^ast summer thr
British government laid an em
bargo on the export of tungsten
ores from any of the British pos
sessions. With the flooding of the
Unitod States with orders for muni
tions of war, there arose a groat
demand for tungsten, steels to bo
used in cuting rifle-barrels, shells,
etc., and it stimulated prospecting
all over the country. The price
rose from $5.80 per unit for 60 per
cent ore to 40, 50 and 60 dollars per
j unit, and the price of the metat
; from $1.00 to $8.00 per pound,
i The market quotations are based on
.the percentage of W O 3 (moaning
j tungstic trioxide or tungstic acid
.contained in the ore,) and the unit
simply moans per centum. If an
I ore contains 60 per cent W O 3 ana
| the price is $50.00 per unit, it is
worth $3,000.00 per ton.
I Tungsten was discovered in 1781
. and is classified as a metallic ele
ment of steel gray color. Its specl
' fic gravity is 18.7, not far below
that of gold, and only four elements
i exceed it in w'eiglit.
j Tungsten is of Swedish origin,
meaning heavy stone. Its Latin
! name is Wolframium and the sym

BRANDEIS FATE IS TO
BE DISPOSED THIS WEEK
*
WASHINGTON, D. C„ May 23.—
In response to the clamor for action
of some sort, it is announced today
that the Senate Judiciary Commit
tee will act upon the Brandies ap
pointment this week.
Bast week the effort to extend the
hearings against Brandeis failed be
cause of a shortage of witnesses,
i some who were expected to testify
having got weak of heart at the last
; minute.
The senators are now scanning
the papers to discover if they have
worked up sufficient anti-Braudels
sentiment to feel justified as they
much desire to do so in turning him
down.
The situation is peculiar. It is
commonly stated that if the Solons
were to vote regardless of the me
rits of the case, politically or other
| wise, the influence opposing *Bran
I deis would be sufficient to secure
j his defeat, but as there are ugly
■ stories of efforts being made to ccn
I trol the appointment of Supreme
Judges in the interest of special pri
vilege, and as the press is demand
ing that a stand be taken one way
or another, the political conse
quences for some of the judiciarv
committee should they oppose the
nomination and refuse to confirm it.
would be disastrous.
In most quarters it is believed
that Brandeis will be confirmed bus
only l>y a narrow margin.
