MONTANA Mines
STAGE REVIVAL
OF REPRODUCTION
S. & r. Engineer Sees In
crease in Shipments From
Neihart Territory.

Montana mines face q season of high
development and production. according
to s. NJ. Soupcoff. resident engineer of
the American Smelling & Refining
company at Salt Lake City. VINO was in
Great Falls Friday on his way back
from Neihart where he was accompani-
ed on an inspection trip by w. J..
O'Connor, of the East Helena smelter.
There is extensive development in
mines throughout the state and evil
dence of increased production" he said.
"We have been much encouraged by
our visit to Neihart. There has been
extensive leasing operations and that
means that the leasors are going to
speed production and develop a good
output of the best Of the ores. All
companies are planning improvement in
their transportation facilities this sum-
mer and the roads are going to be
placed in good condition.
Copper Situation Promising
THAT seems to be the condition
throughout the mining business and /
look to see big improvements in the
Montana mining production.
''The copper situation is especially
promising. The reserves are being re-
duced steadily. During March, for in
stance. the consumption was about
double the production. There are the
growing demands of electrical goods
and a good revival in automobile de-
nand that will cause heavy consump-
ton of copper materials. I know that
many of the mines are being revived
after being shut down since the de-
preston"
Turning to the situation as it af-
fects lead and silver mines, Mr.. Soup
coff saw the situation as equally prom
Using.
The recent rise of a cent in the
price of lead means 20 per cent more
profit to the producer" he said. take
with that the general trend of freight
and labor and other production costs
downward. and you have a mighty en-
c%ouraging condition. 1t is reflected in
the rising production"
Hotter Optimistic
Mr.. Soupcoff came to Great Falls
from Butte. where he found the mines
operating at 60 per cent capacity and
said this would undoubtedly reach IS
per cent production soon.
The optimistic view Of the mining
engineer was also held by n. B. Hotter |
head of the Hotter Hardware Of
Helena, wholesalers. who was in Great
Falls. He said that the demand for
hardware connected with mining had
been brisk, showing increased develop
ment work in mines in many parts of
Montana. He said there seemed to be
a general revival of the industry in
the state.

Helena, April 2S.-John NJ. Rapelje,
vice president of the Northern Pacific
railway in charge of operation and
maintenance, accompanied by Assist
ant General Auditor Sharode and Dan
G. P%ettibone, superintendent of mails,
passed through here Friday.
The business is steadily improv-
ing said Mr.. Rapelje. I'VE will spend
considerable on Montana divisions this
year, but it will practically all be for
maintenance. Probably very little new
work will be put in this year. l have
reports that the Northern Pacific is
planning a cutoff westward from Twin
Bridges, through central Idaho. con-
meeting with the main line in central
Washington, but ] am not In a position
to verify them. am quite sure, how
ever, that the directors will not be
able to order such a big construction
job to be started this year.
ut is gratifying to note that Mon
tana is coming back so steadily in
business and industry" said Mr.. Ra-
pelje, land TO hear of the good crop
outlook for 1922. A good crop wear
will go far toward restoring the state

practically all of Thursday was again
on the stand Friday morning detailing
further transactions he had with Pres
colt and produced several letters re-
ceived by him from Prescott relating
to affairs of the ranch company. In
order that other witnesses, who were
anxious to return to their homes, might
be disposed of, Scott was excused be-
fore completing his testimony on
direct examination and will resume the
stand Saturday. With the idea of
showing that Prescott had made pay
ments and had received money in his
own name, personally had dealt in sheep
from the South POndera ranch in his
own name and to show the extent of
oneys realized from lamb and sheep
crops belonging to the ranch company
in which Scott claims a one-third in
terest, the plaintiff called William
Dueringer of Clemens, and John Pat
terson of Stearns.
Dueringer testified to TRANSACTIONS in
1918 and 1919 with Prescott in con-
nection with sheep from the South
Pondera ranch. He testified that in
1918 he leased pasture to Prescott,
and that from October 1, 1918, until
October 1, 1919, he ran a band of sheep
for Prescott on shares. While leasing
pasture to Prescott he said he per-
sonally looked after and paid the herd
ers and furnished them with supplies
and that Prescott informed him he
would have to keep account of all the
finances as he. Prescott. would have
to account to ether parties for these
transactions. ..--

The big point about the Titan is that
it is a 3-plOw tractor. Figure out for
yourself the cost per pillow bottom; the
cost Of labor per pillow bottom; the time
saved in getting work done. The great

line will be Incorporated In the annual

The feeling among Republican lead

changes are considered desirable in
the present law, which was placed on
the statute books In November, l92l,

probability. When the bill reaches the
