PIGS ATE DYNAMITE CAPS.
They Were Duly Digested Without
Causing an Explosion.
(IIailey News Miner)

An interesting story was related by
Ben Storey yesterday. and he claims
to have received the information from
his brother John, who says the Incl
dent is absolutely true.
Mr.. Hamilton. who IL hauling sup
plies to the Nay Aug mine on Deer
creek, and who is living on the Allen
Osborn ranch, north of town, few
days ago left a quantity of mining
supplies in barn at the ranch. Among
the supplies were three boxes of dyna-
mite caps. A herd of pigs belonging
to Mr. Osborn got into the barn and,
finding the mining supplies they root
ed into them. The animals ate two
and half boxes of the caps. There
have been no explosions on the ranch
and the pigs are alive.
There would have been good sup
ply of pork sausage on that ranch If
the caps had exploded during the pro-
cess of digestion, as each cap is sup
posed to have pressure of from so to
IS pounds.

MARINES AND BLUE JACKETS.
Peace Prevails Among Men on Uncle
Sans Fighting Ships.

~~~S 'SN@HS NHoH9 wen on Uncle
Sans Fighting Ships.
That the marines and bluejackets OF
Uncle Sans navy have buried the
hatchet and there is now only the
kindliest feeling between the enlisted
men of the navy and enlisted men of
the marine corps, was evidenced at a
banquet rendered Gunner's Mates
Charles f. Hills and Robert Conroy
by the marine detachment of the
U. $. s. New York, the other evening.
The naval gunners were presented
with handsome gold watches by the
marine corps boys and the SPEAKERS
of the evening took for their theme
the new relationship between the en-
listed men of the two branches.
In the old days of wooden sailing
ships there was considerable jealousy
ana ill-feeling betwixt the bluejackets
ana marines, but since the advent of
the modern man-o'-war that feeling
has entirely disappeared and the men
of the two branches now live aboard
snip IN perfect peace and harmony
Joint shore operations at Vera cr,z
ma Hayd have brought about an
ven better understanding between the
men, the officers declare,
The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1916-04-20

ates that the construction of the pro-
posed plant would involve an invest
ment Of $20,000,000. The proposed
law provides for grants or leases of
power and dam sites in navigable
streams or in the public lands for SO
years, the rates for power to be regu-
lated by state commissions or by the
secretary of war.
AT the end of the 50-year term the
government is to have the option of
taking over the plant upon payment of
a fair value of the property, with no
allowance for franchise value.

Antimony---Its Production, Sources
of Supply, Imports and Uses.
Of. L. Hess, u. S. Geological Survey

The anthony resources of the
United States are not we'll known,
owing partly to a lack of exploitation
of known deposits and partly to lack
of adequate field study by those who
are willing to publish the results of
their studies. There has been little
prospecting for anthony and com
paratively little work has been done
on any but the richest and most con-
veniently located deposits, for prices
have in general been too low to make
mining on a small scale profitable, and
the market has been uncertain and
has probably not been large enough
to absorb the product Of large opera
tions even II ore bodies of sufficient
extent to furnish big output had
been found. Some Of the known ore
bodies have lacked value because of
their content of arsenic, zinc, or lead
minerals, for so long as buyers can
obtain anthony ores free from these
minerals they refuse to purchase ores
containing them in considerable guam
tity. The world now uses probably
only 10000 to $4,000 tons of anthony
a year aside from that contained in
antimonial or hard lead, and by COM
pairing this quantity with the quanti-
ties of other metals used, 1t Is readily
seen how easily prices might be low
cred by over production; thus about
$4,000 tons of tin, 100000 tons of
zinc, 100000 tons Of copper and l.
309, 900 tons of lead were produced In I
1918
During the early part of 1914 the ,
prices of anthony We're low, and
when in the latter half of the year the
demands caused by the European war
raised them they were so unsteady
that they offered little inducement to
miners and prospeetors to produce the
ore, and none is known to have been
mined and sold in the United States
during that year
A little anthony has been isolated
from the anode muds left
in the electrolytic refining of lead, and
in 1914 the Raritan copper works sep
arated a few tons from the anode
muds of blister copper made from ;
Butte ores. Blister copper produced
from the smelter TT Anaconda, Mont,
in 1914 carried 0014 per cent of an
timony and that from the smelter at
Great Falls, Mont, carried 0020 per
cent, or % and 40 pounds per 100 tons
respectively Although the output
may be increased somewhat, it can I
never be large. i

In prospecting for tungsten, espe-
ctally scheelite, the best equipment in
the field is: Mortar and gold pan, or,
better, small frying pan. Scheelite
pans like gold and once you become
familiar with the ore you will never
mistake the paintings. 1t is useless to
test rock with acid-tin, etc. until
you have PANIED it. In testing rocks
for tungsten the first thing we do is
to pan the samples and if nothing re-
mains in the pan, there is little use
testing for tungsten. If heavy resi-
due remains, we test this out. Our ad-
vice to prospectors is to pan first, then
If residue remains, bring that in for
the test. 1t is also a good idea to
pack around a little scheelite for com
parison. Often you think you have
'cheelite in the pan, it is a good idea
then to add pinch of fine scheelite

MONTANA POWER CO.
BIG ELECTRIC PLANTS
ALL POWER BEING UTILIZED
ANOTHER GREAT PLANT is
BEING CONSTRUCTED.

tana Power company, including that of
the Thompson Falls Power company,
and Henry A. Herrick of Boston, now
located in Butte, the chief engineer d.
rectly in charge of all the work. here
and at Great Falls, We're visitors
Tuesday, looking over the nearly COM
pleted plant at this place. The gem
tlemen are now chiefly engaged in a
like contract on the Hotter plant, sit
uated near Wolf creek, on the Mis-
souri, river.
When the big plants at this place
and at Great Falls were projected
three years ago and started, the Off
GERS of the Montana Power company
believed that those plants would fur
nish enough surplus power to take
care of the needs of Montana for 10
years to come.
No Surplus Power.
Today every bit of the power is be-
ing utilized Not only that, but long
before these two plants were COM
pleted it was realized that the growth
of the mining and other industries
and the railroad electrification would
make it necessary to hurry up the
work, and instead of allowing the con-
Istruction Of these plants to drag along
through four years they We're hurried
through.
Announcement was made in Butte
the first of the week that the work of
completing the new Hotter hydro cleo
trio development is to be rushed to
completion with all possible speed and
that 1t will be finished not later than
August, 1917. This plant will have
capacity of 10000 horsepower when
finished.
In addition to this the company has
plans under way for the construction
of another large plant at one of its
sites for hydro-ele plants. An
nouncement of the date for starting
this work will be made later.
Mining Consumes Electric Power.
The great demand for power has
been caused by the tremendous devel- |
opment in mining and metallurgical |
plants during the past year The con-
struction of the new electrolytic plants
in both the copper and zinc lines in
and Great Falls and other
developments made in the processes
for handling ores, as we'll as the great

NITRIC ACID PLANT
DU POINT PROPOSAL
WOULD DELIVER PRODUCT TO
GovERNMENT--PRIcE NAMED
BY SECRETARY OF WAR.

A proposal was submitted to the
secretary Of war on March 30 by the
f. l. Du Pont de Nemours Powder
Co, as follows, says the New York
Times:
"On frequent occasions during re-
cent years General Crozier has called
our attention to the menace involved
by our dependence on foreign ma
tons for our raw materials for nitric
acid supply, this commodity being alb
solutely essential in the manufacture
of smokeless powder and other ex-
plosives and in great demand as an
essential in the manufacture of fer
tilizers. Several years ago the flxa-
ton of nitrogen from the air by the
use of the electric arc was found
practicable abroad. and with a view
of implanting the industry in this
country (solving our problem here at
home), the Du Pont company sent
corps of its experts to Europe to
thoroughly investigate the various
processes there employed. AS a re-
suit of these Investigations the Du
Pont company purchased the right of
one of the leading processes used
abroad which process is now estab-
lished in Europe on a commercial ba-
sis on large scale Of production.
"As you know the process Of secur-
Ing nitric acid from the air requires
large units of hydro electric power at
Very low cost. Coincident with our
investigations abroad, we have been
studying the possibilities for satisfac-
tory hydro-e electric power in the Unit
ed States, and we find that while the
power physically exists, it is not avail
able because of governmental restric-
lions. / enclose herewith for your
consideration a tentative draft of a
bill which we believe will protect the
public interest and justify the invest
ment of the capital essential to the
solution of this problem In the Unit
ed States. You will note the bill we /
submit provides that the company
shall deliver to the United States for
military or naval purposes all or any
part of the output of nitric acid at a
price which shall include such profit (
as the secretary of war shall deter /,
mine to be reasonable"
with the way made clear, the Du
Pont company stands ready to nego- I
tate contract under which 1t will f,
begin the construction OF a plant un- {
der such unit and magnitude as may /
be agreed upon between the govern y
ment and the Du Pont company. the I

ALASKA COPPER.
Enormous Production of Country
Which First Produced in 1901.

The mining Of copper began in Alas
ka in 1901 and the total output of the
metal to the close of 1915 is 219.913.-
S75 pounds, valued at $34,919,5S1. OF
this amount according to the statis-
tics recently compiled by Alfred H.
Brooks, of the United States geologi-
cal survey S6,5O9,312 pounds, valued
at S5,1S9,129. was produced in 1915.
This Is more than four times the out
put of 1914 and by far the greatest in
the history of the Alaska industry.
Thirteen Alaska copper mines were
operated in 1915 compared with seven
In 1913. A total of S69,7OO tons of ore

Production.


Anthony ores can not be worked
Iprofltably at the usual prices under
the high cost of labor in the mining
regions of the United States unless
the deposits are very large and ad-
tantageously situated and no deposits
have been found that fulfill these con-
dltions. AS a result practically all the
antimony metal used here Is imported
from European, Chinese and Japan
ese smelters. Most of the ores for
these smelters come from China, Mex
| co and France, though smaller guam
titles are obtained from Japan, Aus
tria and other countries.
For several years the production of
anthony in the United States from
domestic ores has been confined to
that contained in antimonial lead and
the small quantities recovered in the
electrolytc refining of copper and
lead A small quantity of anthony,
determnable only by estimate, is pro-
duced from foreign ores.
Antimonial lead is generally alloy
ed with arsenic, iron and copper, but
pure anthony and pure lead can not
be obtained from the alloy at a cost
low enough to afford a profit though |
the alloy sells at a lower price than
the metals singly. Antimonial lead Is |
sold at the price of the an
timony it contains, supposing it to be
equal to Cookson's plus that of the |
lead minus SIS a ton. For the year
1914 the value of the anthony con-
tent of antimonial lead has been figur-
ed at 1915 cents pound, the average
price of Cookson's during the year.
Imports.
For years large quantities of anti
nonal lead were imported into the
United States as type metal for
which it is largely used; but during
he last three years these imports
nave been much smaller.
The customs returns give only the
cad content of imported type metal,
md the figures given above are based |
IN the assumption that the remainder
s practically all anthony, but this
is wholly arbitrary. for
type metal contains as much
is per cent of impurities, such as
ron, arsenic and copper The anti
nony content is therefore probably |
90 large by some quantity less than
" approximately equal to per cent
If the total quantity of type metal,
md the correct percentage is CORE
ipondingly lower.
