where it has to be sent to bo treat

article uintil quite recently has been
such that the metal could not be
mined in that remote region at a
profit, there has never been much
done with the finds, except to keep
up the assessment work necessary
to hold them.
Now, however, the demands °f

immense qmantitiees of ammunition
such as shells, etc., in which an

ordered by the Dutch government,
according to a telegram received
from Los Angeles by the Aero Club

Lieutenant Tor Poorten of the
Dutch Flying corps were sent to

without a stop, then both officers
flew in one of the seaplanes to a
heigh of 7,600 feet iu one hour and
thirty minutes.
In another test one of the war
planes carried half a ton of useful
load. These tests were witnessed
by Captain Arthur Cowan, in charge

EXTENSIVE VEIN OF MOLYBDENITE
DISCOVERED ON THE EAST FORK
The finding ol huge blocks of
gafisa and granulyte containing mo
lybdenite, at a point about 800 feet
east of mile 6 on, the White Pass
Ry., the float lying on the north
sldo of the east fork olthe Skagiwiay
river, lcyi »o a discovery by Joseph
Guyot and .Chaa. L. Cart-wright, on
August 17, of a fissure rein con
taining molybdenite, the gangue
being a white quartz.
Tlie outcrop of the vein occurs
at a high point on the precipitous
6ide of a granite-gneiss escarp
ment traversed by several dykes
of diorite, and situated about 3,000
feet in a northerly direction from
Denver station on the White Pass
Ry.
In the operation of the above
minin claim, known as the Combin
ation lode, it will be necessary to
drive a cross cut tunnel at a point
about 150 feet below the outcrop
of the lead, as the rock slides
will not permit any mining develop
ment at the point of discovery.
At a point about one and one
ha,f miles north of the Comlbination
lode Guyot and Cartwiright have
located the Combination No* 12 lode,
a ledge of quartz-feldspar pegma
tite.
The ledge is impregnated with
molybdenite and it is 50 feet
wide
Molybdenite is found widely dis
tributed through the granite-gnelaa
area on the north side of the east

The district is fully worthy of
thorough and systematic investiga
tion, and diligent prospecting will
undoubtedly lead to the discovery
of numerous deposits of moiybdes
Ite.
In the first half of 1915, molyb
denite concentrates were produced
from a mine near Empire, Colorado.
This is the first American mine
to be extensively developed for
molybdenite.
Molybdenite is used for the man
ufacture of Molybdfium metaJ,
Ferro-Molybdenum, Molybdic acid
Molybdate of Ammonia and other
chemical compounds.
Molybdenum metal is used as
an alloy for steel.
The following is taken from the

Molybdenum—Reports apparently
well authenticated say that $1.25
