Washington, May 24— Mineral Re sources of the United States, 1901, pub lished by the United States geological survey, ami now in press, w ill contain, among other things, the report of Dr. Joseph Hyde Pratt on nickel, for 1901. The two principal source« of nickel are the nickeliferous pyrrhotite, the most widely spread of the nickel ores, and genthlte, especially the garnierit# variety. In this country the domestic product of nickel has been as a by-pro duct from the lead ore of Mine Lamotte in Missouri, since the shutting down of the Gap nickel mine, in Lancaster county, Pennsylvania, about 50 miles west of Philadelphia, about 10 years ago. This mine was worked Irom about 1863 to 1880, when this mine was abandoned because ol the abundant supply of nickel matter from Canada. Traces and small amounts of the nickel minerals , genthite and garnierite have been found in North Carolina, but not in commercially sufficient quantities, though a deposit of nickel ore averag ing 1.6 per cent nickel is reported from Morgantown, Burke county. Similar occurrences of nickel siliate are found in Oregon, where the per eentage of nickel is much greater than in the North Carolina minerals. The Oregon deposits are on Piney mountain, in Douglas county, about three miles a tittle north of west of Riddles, a station on the Southern Pacific, and a high grade cobalt ore deposit is beir.g de- veloped in the Eastern part of the state. Nickel ore is reported to occur in some quantity at the Congress mine, in Upper Nine-Mile section, about ' 14 miles north of Keller, Ferry county, Wash. This section was formerly worked lor copper and gold, but was abandoned. In the latter part of 1901 the claims were again taken up and are now being developed lor nickel. 8 A Y 8 P EAC E 18 A8SURED .
