Washington -The approaching ex- laustion ot the world's richer known lead -producing districts gives special nterest to the study of any possible tource of lead in countries where ncreasing prices or improved methods nay soon make even low-grade depos- ts valuable. Accordingly the United States Geological survey has published a report by L. J. Pepperberg of the lttle-known lead field of the Bearpaw nountains, In montane. The region was long ago extensively prospected for gold and silver, but no raluable mineral deposits were found antil about 1888, when work was begue in a vein of argentiferous galena neat Lloyd. A claim on this vein was pat - tilted in 1892, but work was suspend- ed because it proved to be unprofitable. 3ince that time several other claims wee been patented and some work has seen done, though no ore has yet been produced. The rocks In this region are widely mineralized. The ores were probably leposited by hot waters ascending !rem great depths. The ore contains a little gold, 40 or 10 ounces of silver to the ton. and 50 er 60 per cent of lead, and is easily crushed and concentrated.
