Country.
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.
