leaving for his home in Helena last
Monday morning Since leaving mere
a good many years ago Mr. Danaher
has been successful in accommodating
comfortable fortune through gold MIN
ing operations in Arizona. The war
demand for manganese induced him TO
take hold of a property at Philips
burg. Montana, and he had developer
it to the point of production and was
in shape to add to his fortune when
the armistice was signed and the de-
mand for manganese ceased. He Is
now giving his attention to the de-
-yelopment of low grade copper nine
IN Montana, and his purpose in coming
here at this time was to inspect the
National mill, which he believes Is the
type that will fit his requirements
Prior to leaving here Mr.. Danaher was
employed as machinist at the Hun
ter. His brother, Tom Danaher, VINO
was equally we'll known In this dis
trict, has also prospered since leaving
here and is now proprietor of a large
hotel in Helena.

Falls and at Canton, Pa, Others have
Just been built in Minnesota, Maine,
Nebraska and Greeneville, S. c. The
one at the latter place has been built
by the United States government and
will be operated by the government
as a model for others likely to be
established throughout the south and
devoted TO the manufacture of sweet
potato flour. The other plants re-
ferred to as being completed Will soon
be In operation, il they are not al
ready. 1t Is the hope and belief OF
the department of agriculture that
mills for the manufacture of potato
flour will be established In every prin-
cipal potato growing district in the
United States at no distant date.
Herein is to be found another cause
for congratulation. Another hope Is
held out to the farmers who have long
struggled against unfavorable market
conditions and low prices for their
crop, and to those who are thinking
of turning their attention and effort
to the soil The war enforced the IN
PRODUCTION of potato flour, and there

ing basis.

Another evidence of the progress OF

One of the speakers at this gath

tato flour, said the industry is pu
in it's infancy in this country, and de-
clared that everything points to III
making gigantic strides within tn
next few years. He cited how IN

In order to fulfill Americas pledge

tablished a chlorination plant. when
was not entirely successful. A small
cyanide plant was next erected. and
this grew by successive additions until
a daily capacity of 800 tons was
reached. A conspicuous feature OF the
plant was the use OF Friffin mills for
dry crushing, and zinc dust for pre-
cipitating the auriferous cyanide solu-
tons. In 1902 options on this property
were given to J. f. and s. Bamberger
Of New York, and soon thereafter the
property passed into their hands.
Captain De Lamar also was interest
ed in the De Lamar mine, of Shasta
county, California, and established the
De Lamar refinery at Chrome, n. j.,
which was subsequently purchased by
the U. S. Smelling company in 1905.
| In 1900 we note the large holdings
of the captain in De Lamar's Mercur
Mines company. which up to that time
had paid about 100000 in dividends
and during that year was combined
with the Mercur G.. M. and NJ. c. to
form the Consolidated Mercur Gold
Mines company, a company that has
had a long and prosperous career and
has been one of the main sources or
the De Lamar income.
1t was in Mercur that Captain De
Lamar came in touch with Colonel
Wall, lacking, and Gemmel. and in
1895 his attention was first drawn to
Utah Copper district. His first option
on three-fourths of Colonel wars
property called for the payment OF
$375,0OO. For a period Of eight years
the captain was more or less interest
, ed in this low grade district, but never
, became convinced, while the property
was undeveloped, that it would be
t a profitable investment for the very
: large sum that would be required; 81
! he disposed of his quarter interest N

TINS property and its subsequent pro.
duction proved he wisdom of Captain
De Lamar's purchase A number Of
parallel veins were cut carrying gold
and silver. AS these veins were fol-
lowed on their strike toward the east
they were all cut off or pinched out
b! dixie. at the intersection of which
the ore was abnormally rich, carving
irto the thousands of ounces Of silver
per ton.
Captain De Lamar was extremely
cautious in his mining operations, ven
turing extensively. but not without
good judgment. The Idaho property
vas not equipped with a mill until it
had been in his hands for over a year
Then he started with two small, Sec
ond-hand mills, and not until August
1890, did he erect a modern 2O-stamp
mill.
During 1890 many carload shipments
were made direct to the smelter which
returned $500 to $4,000 per ton. while
the mill worked on ore averaging over
$40 per ton. This property was sold
to an English company in the spring
Of 1891 for 100000 cash. The cap
tain subsequently took an interest in
the property in lieu of part of the
cash, and for time acted as resident
director.
Prior to the sale Captain De Lamar
had taken $1.500,000 from the mine
