MONTANA CLOSES
MANGANESE MINES

Signing of the armistice Novem-
Der II, 1918, automatically ended
the manganese industry in Montana
as it made possible the release of
shipping for the importation of this
product from Brazil and Cuba at
lower figure per ton than it could
be produced in that state.
Only another war, and we hope
there will never be another one,
said one OF the chief engineers of
tn Anaconda Copper Mining COM
pany," can revive the industry in
Montana. The outlook is hopeless
although the Anaconda company,
at the urgent request of the govern
ment constructed ferro-manganese
plant at Great Falls at a cost Of
s750,000 This plant produced
approximately 1850 tons of man
ganese, which carried manganese
content of so per cent, 10 per cent
iron and 4 per cent of SILICA. 1t
was especially desirable for steel
manufacturing because of its con-
centrated manganese, but not a
pound had yet been sold when the
arn1istice was signed, consequently
we still have it on our hands,
Brazil and Cuba car deliver OF
the wharves of Baltimore mangan-
csc for $3.50 ton, whereas its
cost of production to Montana pro
ducers is approximately SO ton
to which must be added the freight
rate to Pittsburg of s1l short ton.
1T is impossible to think of a
tariff large enough to make profit
able domestic production of man
ganese'', said the Anaconda engin-
eer. The only thing which could
revive the industry in Montana
would be the blishment of steel
manufacturing in Great Falls. so as
to eliminate freight rates. 1t Is
questionable if manganese produc-
ton could be developed to an ex-
tent large enough to warrant this. y
Philipsburg, which before the war
ended. reached a maximum capacity
of 1900 tons monthly, at guar
antee net profit of $50 a ton, sold
through the government, will be
closed down completely except for
its silver activities by July /, 1919
when the last OF its pre-armistic
contracts expire.
The Emma mine, the largest pro-
Queer of manganese i'll Butte, with
daily output of 400 tons. stopped
producing the week the armistice
was signed. Aproximately $50
miners were thrown out of work
at Philipsburg, and $50 to 500 in
Butte. In addition there was loss
of employment for hundred or
more in the Great Falls plant, and
several score in the Ophir mill OF
the Butte-Detroit Mining company,
the only company in Montana which
milled manganese. A small amount
of manganese also was mined as a
by-product by the Davis-Daly Min
ing company of Butte. The Great
Falls plant had reached capacity
of 5000 tons of ferromanganese
