Meantime a considerable flur has been by announcement of the discovery, some time ago, of a ore in the head of Stnfbad, which assays show, is worth more than $200 per ton! Found and claimed by Bill Justesen of Orangeville and two associates, this ore has been shown by chemcal analysis to contain a total of 24 metals and salts, amongst them such rare and valuable ones as gallium, titanium, tin and silver, in addition to the main constituents of lead; iron and copper. Lead and copper content of the ore was 63 and 10 percent respectively!
