Rich Mining Region.

Because of increased interest in metal
mining at the present time, requests for
statistics and reports on mining regions
are much more numerous than in normal
times. The geological survey, depart
ment of the interior, announces that it
has on hand few copies of bulletin
574 on the mining districts of the Dillon
quadrangle, Montana, and adjacent areas.
The area described in this report was
of great Importance in the early develop
ment of Montana, for it was the dis
covery of gold in the streams of this re-
gion that led to the influx of population
and the eventual settlement of the state.
The Dillon quadrangle comprises about
1920 square miles. The great Butte
copper mining district is Immediately
north of it, and two Of the Butte smelt-
ers are within it.
The first important discovery of pre-
cious metal in Montana was made at
Bannock, in 1852, and the placers of Ban
mock are reported to have yielded in that
year 100000 in gold. A far greater
strike was made the next year at Alder
Gulch, the discovery causing an extra0r-
binary rush of gold seekers, which led
To the founding of number of towns
on Alder creek. Alder Gulch is the lang
est and richest gold bearing gulch ever
found in Montana, and within the first
20 years its gravels yielded more than
s30,OO0,OO0
Placer mining has been going on more
or less continuously ever since the early
days, and in late years modern methods
of attacking the gold bearing gravels
have been introduced. Dredges now han
die the gravels of Alder creek and the
gold output of this fleet of dredges is
larger than the total from all the mines
in the region.
The metaliferous mineral resources of
, the Dillon quadrangle and adjacent
!, areas include gold, silver, copper, and lead
and smaller quantities of zinc, iron. man
, ganese, and tungsten. The report dis
cusses their distribution mode of occur
: renee. geologic features. and origin The
metallic ore deposits of the region occur
in about 80 more or less well defined dis
tricts, which are described individually.

Bread Without White Flour.

1t IS predicted that in less than a year
from now practically no white flour will
be miled IN this country
\ flour containing a larger per cent Of
the grain will take its place much to
the advantage OF the American people.
Even at the present time we are becom-
ing accustomed to much less white wheat
flour than we have previously used in our
bread making. The necessity of saving
wheat for the use of our allies has brought
about this change At the same time, the
manufacture and introduction of small
hand grist-mills Is helping to make the
use OF background grains more popu-
lar. by this method wheat flour can be
produced which has practically the same
composition the wheat grain itself.
! Besides making necessary the use of
wheat flours containing large pereentag,
of the wheat grain the present and pro
spective shortages in wheat product,
makes the extended use of other cereal
grains a patriotic duty. There are many
tempting and deliciou. varieties of dark
bread, all more healthful and satisfying
than the white breads. BY using rye
corn meal, and oats, we shall be able t
effect Il large saving.
Here are suggestions for the use of sucl
substitutes for wheat flour:
