years, We are just beginning to Won
der, in the face of high fuel rates,
why this Ignite cannot be put to
use! So slow does mar move!
In the Bull mountains, north of
Billings, Mr.. Panton found, was
and is-"a huge vein of high grade
Ignite, covering 60 square miles. 1t
lies in a horizontal position, is 16
feet thick and when opened he
said, could be mined by the side of
the rails and thrown directly into
railway cars! Why aren't we burn
ing this for 50 the ton?
Yellowstone, Musselshell, Missou-
ri, Milk, Marias and Teton river ba-
sins were also inestimably rich in
Ignite, he learned Are they yet?
Has somebody overlooked some of
this? Perhaps only Professor Rowe
of the University of Montana, who
knows more about Montana Ignite
than any man living, could answer?
Oil in the South.
Of oil, too, Mr.. f'anton thought
Montana had vast resources. He
found that pioneers breaking h
Bridger trail fabricated their spring
agons with crude oil from the
springs on the north slope of the
Pryor mountains. This section is
just north Of the famous Elk Basin
country, where a considerable vol
m Of oil is being produced.
The Boar Creek coal fields, south
of the Yellowstone, and the Flat
head coal fields, near the British
Columbia line, also showed oil traces,
he said. Glow great the oil areas
between these two widely separated
points may be-" he wrote, "time and
exploration will tell. The time has
slipped by; the exploration is just
beginning in earnest.
Mr.. Panton found asbestos in the
west Gallatin and on the Madison;
onyx and jaspar in Park and Madison
counties; "great beds of gypsum" in
Yellowstone and Carbon counties.
What are We doing with these?
Come on in, Capitalize waters
fine. Don't Imagine anybody has
pocketed Montana! Nobody has more
than glanced at Montana! The
Treasure state, it is, truly! And for
a ha%lf-century it will turn out mil
l~ionaires for the asking. =.

eminent.

The MissOula chamber of MINER
is or record as pledging it's unquali-

Missoula is ready to-do her share
in every way possible, says the reso-
luton, and the state will be urged to
assist in building this vrey important
highway to the Idaho-Montana line.
The resolution brought out the fact
that the district forester in charge of
forests in Montana and northern
Idaho has declared that he will rec
ommend the building of the Missoula-
Lewiston road as soon as possible
and will request forestry funds to pay
half the cost of the roads cOnstruc-
ton.
Forestry Service Interested.
Senator F. S. Randall of Lewiston
and Senator N, B. Pettibone of
Grangeville, 'da., addressed the meet
ing and made a distinct impression on
the gathering by their enthusiasm
for good foads. Major f. A. Fem of
the forest service, formerly of Oro-
fino, Ida, explained the proposition
and Montana's interest in detail. The
session was an enthusiastic one in
every way.

The advent of the S%tudebaker peo-
pie into the automobile field of the

Not only will the standard of CIV

The ~painstaking care in which the
merits of the Studebaker cars are set

every detail both small and big that
goes into the makeup of this car of

montana farmers, WHO control a
majority of the boards Of commits

state, are beginning to realize that
good road systems have much to do
with farm valuations. The roads of
Fergus county, where farm values
are excellent, are among the
best in the state. The same state

show increases of from 81 to lie

average value after the roads were
improved was $28.26 per acre as
compared with $17.31 previous tc
