years to come. nothing Is to be ex-
pected in the way of new development
and production.
Great Future for Company.
Yet, as a matter of fact, the Ana
conda company is only at the begin
ming. Instead of being at the top OF
its career it is only well started. 1t
is a great producer but it will be a
n eater producer The notion enter
tanned by many that the operations
of the company are confined to pro-
ducing copper is away below the facts
in the case. Few realize what is be-
ing done in the production of zinc.
Few have grasped the fact that within
two months the Anaconda company,
from it's own plants in Montana, will
be turning out copper wire and rods
for the market Few realize that
within six months the company will
be making brass in Montana.
Produce Ferro- Manganese.
Yesterday announcement was made
in the Standard by C., F. Kelley, vice
president of the company, of the
launching of another new industry, the
production of ferro- manganese, greatly
needed by the government at this time
for the manufacture of steel In war in
dustries. 1t is understood that other
new industries of great Importance to
the state and all it's people, are plan
ned and in preparation. The Anaconda
company is as yet only well beyond the
starting point in it's career.
Taxes and Distribution.
What all this means to the indus
trial life of Montana needs no demon
straton. 1t has often been stated by
those who do not or will not under
stand the facts that the mammoth
operations of the company are solely
for the benefit of stockholders living
outside the state, that practically
nothing is paid in taxes. that little
benefit comes to the state as whole
or to the citizens of the state individ-
ually from the operations of this great
industry. 1t may be stated for one
thing that the Anaconda company pays
in taxes more than $4,000 every day.
1t may also be stated that of every
100000 tons of ore that are taken
from the mines of Butte 100000
tons remain in Montana in the form of
cash paid to the employees of the COM
pany. OF the other 100000 tons a
million and a half go for railroad
transportation, taxes and other gen.
eral expenses. OF the whole only
100000 tons reach the stockholders
who have invested their money for
the development of this great enter
prise. In other words, of the total
output of the Anaconda company, the
employees receive SO per cent, about
80 per cent is consumed for trans
portation, taxes and other expenses,
and only 10 per cent is the return to
the company's stockholders.

Nitrate in Death Valley.

Systematic prospecting of nitrate
deposits In the Death Valley region of
ogists of the U. S. geological survey
and force Of workmen is now under
way. The occurrence of nitrate in
certain clay hill deposits in that re-
gion has long been known. but de-
velopment done thus far seems to
have been merely an effort to comply
with the requirements of mining laws
rather than to determine the worka-
bility of the deposits The present
work is confined to trenching and
sampling, but the survey is prepared
to do deeper work if it be found adj
visable

Examples of Easy Picking.

Among the transactions worthy of
mention, as illustrating the easy
pickings available on this ethnic island
of real Americans, | may mention how
Harry Crawfish, a buck, sold for a
song his mineral rights to the ground
on which the Pcher Lead company
has developed several splendid mines.
For few hundred dollars Julia
Greenback, a squaw, disposed of a
lease out of which the Lost Trail mine
has won zinc-lead ore to the amount
that under a fair royalty would have
yielded her 100000 Meta Trak, an
Indian girl, owned an allotment of 200
acres; this was bought at auction in
1911 for 5000, or S46 per acre, by o.
]. Mcconnell, associated with w. b
Thompson. The purchase was subject
to a lease at per cent royalty pay
able to Mcconnell This lease was
sold on IL per cent royalty to o. S.
Pitcher, the fee simple being sold by
Mcdonnell to others for 100000, or
800 per acre. The Meta is one of the
most productive mines in the district.
In course of time, under the tutelage
OF their protector, the federal agent,
the Indians learned how to take ad-
vantage of the opportunity given to
them by bountiful providence, ass

Now and then announcement Is

OF production launched or contemplate
ed by the Anaconda Copper Mining
company, signifying further develop
ment Of the resources of this great in
stitution and meaning so much to
everyone whose home, business, prop
erty and interests are in Montana. For
the most part, the company goes along
quietly, developing it's properties, pro-
ducing and marketing its output, EN-
ploying many thousand men and dis
tributing millions in wages. Few, even
among the residents of Butte, Anacon-
da and Great Falls, have anything
more than a feeble conception of the
gigantic scope of the operations of this
company, what it is doing and what
it is planning to do in the further
stimulation of the industrial activities
OF this section. The idea that Butte
is only a temporary mining camp long
since evaporated and yet, on the other
hand there are few VINO adequately
grasp the tremendous production of
the Anaconda company and Of other
mining companies. and the marvellous
development that is yet at hand.
A Mistaken Idea.
With most people the idea prevails
that the Anaconda company has fully
developed its resources that for years
to come it's work will be confined to
the mining and milling of ore, that it
has reached the height of its great
ness They are well content with the
assurance that there is enough ore in
sight to make certain the continuance
of operations in these parts for at least
a generation to come. They have as
sumed that the Anaconda company has
reached the top level of its career, that
it has fully developed all its resources
and that, while it will continue to turn
out great quantities of copper for

ARAMROADDAY
Wednesday to Be Observed
by Pennsy Woman's Divi-

10 o'clock Pennsylvania Railroad
Day at Red Cross will be observed
every Wednesday. This announce
ment was made by Mrs. Morris s.

The meetings will be held in the
Eager school building, 206 Walnut

meeting place was secured through
the courtesy of Miss Anne McCor-
mick. Members are requested to
meet in the new rooms tomorrow
for sewing purposes.
1t is the belief that by having one
big day, every Wednesday, and CEN
trally located quarters the attend
ance will be largely attended. Meet
ings have been held on Tuesday and
Fridays, but owing to the heatless
days affecting large halls and build
ings, Tuesday meetings were elimi-
mated. Wednesday will be the one
big day from now on.
