Talmud for Parah 9:7

אֵפֶר כָּשֵׁר שֶׁנִּתְעָרֵב בְּאֵפֶר מִקְלֶה, הוֹלְכִין אַחַר הָרֹב לְטַמֵּא, וְאֵין מְקַדְּשִׁין בּוֹ. רַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר אוֹמֵר, מְקַדְּשִׁין בְּכֻלָּן:

Valid ashes which mixed with [regular] charred ashes, we go after the majority for [determining its status of] causing impurity [i.e. if the majority is red heifer ashes then it causes impurity like the <i>chatat</i> ], and we do not sanctify [water] with it [even if the majority is red heifer ashes]. Rabbi Eliezer says: We sanctify with all of them [with all of the ashes].
