EXTENSIVE FIND OF IRON IN F.M.S.

OUTCROPS TRACED OVER 4,000 ACRES.

"We have travelled nearly 2,800, obtaining a proper estimate of the miles in the search for iron in the value of the deposit F.M.S. and at last we have ac- eldentally discovered large deposits of iron ore, covering an area of about 4,000 acres, in which there are millions and millions of tons of ore." said a partner of a syndi- cate which has been scouring the country for metal,

This statement was made in the course of an exclusive interview granted to a representative of the Times of Malaya by a member of the syndicate who has just re- turned to Ipoh from the place of discovery of this large metal de- posit. For commercial reasons he was naturally unwilling to state the exact location of the fnd but he disclosed that it was six miles from a main road and eight to alne miles from the nearest railway station.

The prospectors thought, it was wolfram; but a subsequent analysis proved that it was haematite fron and micaceous manganese,

Asked what they intended doing about the find the partner said that they had already received an ofer from a foreign concern but that they would prefer a British syndicate to take it over after

He also added that during the course of their search they had discovered other similar deposits scattered all over the FM.S. which are being worked and stored by coolles in the hope of obtaining a good price.
