Anthony and Its Uses--American Sup
Ply Comes Chiefly From China
and Mexico
Mining and scientific Pressl

Mining and Scientific Press)
Anthony occurs chiefly in the form
CT sulphide or oxide in deposits which
contain only anumony, or else is as
sociated with lead, with lead and sill
YER or with gold. Many lead ores
contain small amounts of anthony
and in the processes OF lead smelling
the anthony is collected as a by-pro-
duct known as hard or antimonial
lead containing to per cent anti
mOny 1t may also be made by mix
ing anthony ores with lead ores and
smelling them together. This hard
lead has a great variety of uses. For
the ten years preceding the war the
production of antimonial lead in the
United States ranged from 10000 to
1900 tons per year, roughly two
thirds of this amount being produced
from domestic ore. and One-third from
imported ore. Anthony and its COM
pounds have a great variety of uses.
Besides that already mentioned the
principal are the making of bearing
metal alloys, many of which contain
considerable amounts of anthony;
type metal to which anthony to
which anthony imparts the property
OF expanding on solidihcation, thus
yielding perfect letters: Brittania met
al, used for tableware, toys and so
forth and for a variety of minor pur-
poses A lead-antimony alloy is also
coming into use for the sheathing of
electric cables Anthony sulphide is
used in making matches and also in
making red rubber The oxide is used
in making enamels and as a substitute
for tin oxide in making bath tub
enamels and is quite important.
All Of these uses, however, do not
bulk very large in the metallic output
of the world, and before the war an
timony was considered minor metal
The war changed this by creating a
large use for anthony in shrapnei
bullets, which contain y per cent or
more of anthony. The result was a
large increase in production and price
The price, which before the war had /
ranged from to 81 cents per pound, /
rose to 40 cents per pound in Deem
Der, 1913, and tluctudted during the /
war period. according to trade condi-
tons and also as military opinions /
varied as to the relative value of /
and high explosive shell in
combat work After the armistice the
price rapidly declined and recent quo
tations have been about cents per
pound Presumably the stock of
on hand in the different
is amply sufficient as re-
serve stock for possible future wars,
so that this use for anthony may be
as non existent and may
possibly never occur again if the lea
que of nations proves effective, or if
some substitute for shrapnel is dis
covered before another large war oc-
,urs.

struggled with characteristic Finnish
obstinacy to keep from going broke
before he had secured a patent to
his homestead. The day after he re-
ceived his patent and had plodded
back, not altogether happy with the
reflection that having received the
land he would have to pay taxes on
it, Corpela sold it out to the Great
Western Oil company for $4,000,
few hours after the strike Had it
not been for the fact that untold
riches were concealed beneath the
sagebrush and ground on which he
was trying to raise potatoes, he would
still have been wondering whence
would come sufficient money to meet
his taxes.
Firms Become Rich.
There were many others nearly as
fortunate as Corpela Oil was truck
in homestead area inhabited largely
by Firms and on which only the stur-
dy, rugged hardy descendants of the
Norsemen could have found a sub
sistence. What else the land might
have been good for, except grazing,
is entirely conjecture; but it brought
thousands of dollars or neat royalties
to those who claimed a tenure to it.
And there are many who say that
having spent years in this desolation
each of them earned every dollar he
received after the discovery of oil.
Mrs. Lois Heine's case is typical Of
that wherein oil came as an oppor
tunity to bring relief from a short |
purse. On a quarter section of land /
Mrs. Heine had borrowed every dol /
lar that the property would stand. A /
for $4,000, long overdue, had /
been foreclosed and the time for re-
demption was nearly up. In the nick .
of time, however. oil was discovered, /
and on the next train Mrs Heine hur-
ried from California where she had /
been living. She sold so acres for
$500 an acre. redeemed her property
and deposited $4,000 in the bank Title
to the other 80 acres is still hers, and [
il is not strange to hear that she is
besieged daily with urgent entreaties

WEALTH HEAPED UPON
POOR HOMESTEADERS
MISERABLE EXISTENCE is SUD-
DENLY CHANGED IN DEV-
IFS BASIN, MONT.

1t is an unexplained coincidence
that lands usually found to be oil
bearing are otherwise bleak, sterile,
unproductive wastes. Discovery OF
oil on the Devils basin dome, 20 miles
from Roundup has poured from such
land stream of liquid wealth into
pockets that were really not opened
in anticipation, says the Anaconda
Standard.
All happened suddenly. Overnight,
detected countenances began to re-
fleet the accrued thousands In the
course Of a few hours was effected
the transition from skepticism and
doubt to a mind of complete realiza-
ton Oil with its usual benefactions
visited good fortune at Roundup up
on rich and poor alike. 1t frightened
the lives of all concerned and lavish
ed plenty upon those who were eking
a meager existence from lands unfit
for tillage. It lightened the burden
of those who struggled uphill under
an overload of the cares of life, and
broadened the smile of deep content
ment upon the features of those al
ready abundantly blessed.
Suffice it that oil with the touch of
Midas has overlooked but few in

ACTIVE BIDDING TODAY

The plant of the Didier- March
Company at Keasbey, including real
estate, buildings, machinery and clay
panks, was sold at a public auction
this morning TO the Carborundum
Company, of Niagara Falls, whose bid
or 100000 was the highest received.
Active bidding marked the sale. there
being between twenty and twenty-five
interested parties present of which
eight or ten participated In boosting
the bids.
The bids were started at $4,000,
but were soon boosted to the neigh
borhood of $4,000 where tho bidders
gradually dropped out until the Car
borundum company was the only one
left at $4,000.
Provisions were made to allow the
Didier-March company to fulfill all
orders on the books of the company
at present 1t was estimated at the
factory today that all of this work
could be completed by July /. In the
meantime the new owners might take
over part ,i the plant. 1t is under

utilized to advantage by the Carbon
undum company.
The sale of the Didier- March plant
has been hanging fire for more than
g year, the alien property custodian
having advertised for bids on 1t in
February, 1919, but when only one
bid was received and that was below
the minimum placed on the plant no
further efforts to sell the plant We're
made until now. Prior to February,
1919, several postponements of
scheduled sales had been made. The
plant was seized by the government
during It's war roundup of alien own
ed factories in this country.
Frank L. Crocker, attorney for the
Didier-March company represented
that company at this mornings sale.
The minimum price placed on the
plant last year, just prior to tho ad-
vertised sale, was 100000 or $780,
900 moro than the purchase price of
this morning.

TREATY FIGHT IS
NEARING ITS END
Senate Accepts Substitute for
Article X--Friends of Treaty
Have Little Hope of Success

By The A sSocidted Press.
WASHINGTON, March 15.--With
the advocates of compromise con-
ceding that the developments had
turned against them, the senate today
made a final reservation to Article x,
in which it was agreed that the fate
of the ratification will be left.
The compromise advocate, though
disheartened, continued their efforts to
modify the Republican replacement,
or to bring enough Democrats behind
it to secure ratification. Among the
leaders it was thought the substitute
would stand, but without it the treaty
would fall.
Administration leaders working
against the substitute told their col
leagues that they had ascertained that
the substitute was as Objectionable
to President Wilson as the original.
At the White House it was said the
Presidents views on the substitute
had been outlined in a letter to a
senator.
The developments caused no sur
prise in the senate, since all knew
that Senator Hitchcock was working
in the Presidents confidence. 1t added
an interesting feature to the treaty
situation, when coupled with the ar
rival today OF William j. Bryan q dvo-
eating compromise that would Sc
cure the treaty's ratification. Mr.
Bryan will see many Democratic SEN
ators during the next few days.

CRlTIClZES FLIGHT
New Government Issues Proclamation
CGndcmning Ebert Regime

BU The associated Press.
BERLIN, March 10:-A proclama-
ton issued by the new government
this morning says:
Tn order to completely eXtcrmin-
ate the monarchist idea from the
minds of the German people, the for
mer government and especially the
socialistic members poured out their
venom and contempt for the flight or
Emperor William, which they call a
desertion of the colors, although THAT
flight was secured in a way causing
less condemnation than the manner
in which the same government has
now forsaken its duty leaving Berlin
without an attempt to defend itself
as it had every possibility Of doing
'"rhe statement that the troops
were unreliable was uttered in order
to cause it's own flight to be more re-
liable. A government capable OF rul-
ing should have the strength or car
rying It's troops with it. This deser-
ton will lower the former govern
ment in the eyes Of the people.
