Rich Ore in Andorra Republic.

Iron and other ores are known to pxlst in large quantities in the republic of Andorra, where Fiske Warren Is establishing one of his single tax colonies, but the mineral w-ealth is yet entirely unexploited. The question of mining concessions is comparatively simple and . some development Is looked for. Under the provisions of a law enacted two years ago, the general council of Andorra names a representative for explora tlon and negotiations who Is authorized to transfer mining Interests to an operating company. There is a good municipal road through the BaIlnt valley and abundant opportunities for the development of hydroelectric power. As the ores show between 54 and 79 per cent of iron and veins have been found yielding hematite, Ilmonite, manganese and lead, it Is expected that the mining Interests of tho republic will soon be Improved.
