PLANNING NEW TESTS
Electric Oven May Be Built
So That Actual Extrac-
tion of Ore May.-.
Be Followed.
W. S. Boyer, district Inspector
for the interior department of- the
United States government, today
emphatically declared that the
white "myatery metul," which has
been the subject of much discus
sion among metallurgists, Is pres
ent in rock to be found In Douglas
and Josephine counties. Mr. Boyer
is willing to state that he does
not know ' positively that tin . is
present and nv some cases has
found the content of the rock to
be 80 per cent lead and 10 per cent
antimony with 1 per ' cent unac
counted for, but that the' rock U
metal bearing he contends ; has
been sufficiently prqven.; , i; ' i5, j.
During the past few 'weeks nev
eral.assayers have declared that
samples of the supposed, tin bear
ing rock have shown no metal and
statements have been made that
the previous assays were appar
eutly made by unreliable assayers
and that the samples hud doubt
less been "salted.". . , :
Mr. Boyer was in Roseburg re
cently .after an uvestlga.Uon con-,!
duoted-iu Grants Pass and Canyon
,vljle, where he personally made
testa of the ore in an oven care
fully" prepared by -himself; 'Mr.
Borer's- test was carefully"' safe
guarded, the inspector securing his
own ore from several different
places, and using chemicals secur
ed by himself to1 properly conduct
the operations. He thoroughly!
cleaned the oven before- making
the test aud sealed it during the
work so lhat there xjould1 have been
iiO',!salting'' -possible, he malntaina.
H& procured a large' amount of
metal from the1 rock and because
of his findings caused two other
inspectors, H. R. Burrltt and H. W.,
Merrin to be assigned' to the in
vestigation.'The government Is in
terested fronv the standpoint 1 of
land reclassification. There Is a
great deal' ot government owned
land in . Douglas and Josephine
counties now classified as agricul
tural 'that bears large deposits of
the ore containing the white me
tal. If this rock really has ;valu
able metal within itt then the laud
will be reclassified as mineral, and
the investigators are working to
determine whether or not such re
classiticatlon is justiNed. t
Mr. Boyer is now In ; Portland
and In a statement 'given to the
Portland press he states that he
has had reports from Mr. Burrltt
to the effect that a' recent teHt
gave 27 ounces of metal from
seven pounds of ore, or about 24
per cent! metal from the rock. '
