BISMUTH LEDGE
IS DISCOVERED
;
i Cordova, Fel). 8—Tiiat bismuth
mining may eventually be one of
the industries of interior Alaska is
very evident from tho fact that a
good sized ledge of rock, carrying
the metal in commercial quantities
has been found in the Totaliuika
country. The ledge is owned by
Jack Leach and associates, who
are uow contemplating opening up
the ground in the spring, with the
idea of mining and shipping the
ore.
The extent of the ledge is not
yet known. Where discovered it is
about 13 inches in width, and thai
the ore carries bismuth in commer
cial quantities has been demonstrat
ed by tests, which show it to be
from 10 to 20 per cent pure.
The commercial value of pure
bismuth is upwards of $300 to the
ton. Mr. Leach and associates
i therefore feel that if their lodge
[ io extensive, and its contents will
i be determined in the spring, they
lave a fortune in sight.
Bismuth is one of the easiest
metals known to mine. It melts ftt
a temperature of 208 3-10 degrees
centigrade, and can therefore be
; smelted with wood fires. The plua
