Important to State,
Says Geologist.

DR.. J. p. Rowe. head of the depart
nent of geology at the State univer-
s'ty, said last night that the legisla-
tisn recommended by Secretary Lane
ould be of great Importance to Mon
tena and that a number of the miner
ais wanted We're to be found in large
quantities in the state.
We are now furnishing the best
grade of manganese in the country
said Dr. Rowe. We have also large
deposits of pyrite, antimony, tungsten
ard graphite. If the government could
finnish money to develop the anti
IRONY and graphite mines they would
find that Montana could furnish large
amounts of the best grade mineral
There is no doubt in my mind that
large amounts of these minerals could
he found with little prospecting in this
