Excess of $13,0OO,OOO Per Year;
One Customer for Entire Output,
the American Grass, Means Con-
tinuity of Operations.

Within a few weeks, unless al
signs fail, there will be employed ii
the Butte mines no less than 16,0OC
men-the maximum capacity force
an increase of nearly 5000 men
since June |, when over 10000
were employed.
AT maximum employment capa-
city, the mine payroll will be $780,
600 per week for all companies.
This is only $138,0OO per week
short of Butte's banner payroll of
all time-that which was being
paid when the armistrce was sign
ed-$525, 900 per week.
The maximum payroll which is
shortly to be attained will be one
third larger than the payroll on
June |, 1922 $275,OOO a week -
which meant the rather startling
sum of 81 100000 month or $13.-
100000 a year for town to which
the federal census bureau credits
less than $4,000 inhabitants or. for
that matter, to county of $1,000
people. The mines capacity payroll
means $18,OOOOOO a year to the
people of Butte.
The largest employer of labor is
the Anaconda Copper Mining COM
pany, with an output of 3OO,OOO.OOO
pounds of copper annually. Mar
keting this huge output was, in the
past. no small Undertaking. Today
the Anaconda company has one
customer which requires this en-
tire output and so per cent more
to supply its annual needs.
The Anaconda company pro-
duces 100000 pounds of zinc (elec-
trolytic) annually. The American
Brass company will use the entire
zinc output in less than one week.
Capacity employment in the
mines and a permanent market for
the output of the Butte hill means
not only steady work for 10000
but likewise steady employ
nent for $500 smeltermen at Ana
,onda and Great Falls, 1900 more
railroad men on the B., A. & P.
ind the transcontinental lines; 400
more Montana coal miners, 700

Indian Fighter Dies

Robert "Deafy' Johnson, 10, one
of Miles City's oldest citizens, died
few days ago. He was veteran
of the Indian wars of the south and
northwest, arriving in southeastern
Montana in 1876. Johnson came to
Fort Keogh in 1877 and served for
a time under General Nelson A. Miles.
Prior to his arrival here he served
with General Crook and was vet
eran in the Modock campaign in Ore
gon in 1872. Failing health had af-
fected him during the past three
years. He leaves no relatives, so far
as has been ascertained.

PONCA CITY. June THE San
tn Fe railroad business at Ponca
city during the month of May ex-
ceeded all other months In the his
tory of the city and also placed
Ponca City in first place as rail-
road business point in Oklahoma
and Kansas. The total business done
was over 100000. due principally
to the increased oil industry ship
ments here. For something over
two years Ponca City has been the
second city on the Santa Fe In Okla
homa. but during tho month OF May
she advanced to first place in the
two states.
Indications are that this first
place Will be retained judging from
the amount OF business projects to
be accomplished during the present
summer. practically all due to the
oil game. Gradually this city is be-
coming more Of a production center
and the pools in the Ponca City
fields are now doing over 100, 900
barrels OF oil daily, with continual
increase.

PONCA CITY, June massive
stone columns are to be erected at
the main entrance OF the city park
here as monument to G. II. Ruby,
the Civil war veteran who was the
first man to prospect for oil and gas
In northern oklahoma. Ruby died
here something over n year ago at
the age OF 7s and soon afterward
local oil men and other citizens, who
had been benefited by Ruby's pio-
neering. began raising a fund for the
purpose OF erecting a monument to
his memory. +. A. Heberllng was
made chairman of the Ruby monu-
ment association, and now the funds
have been raised and the committee
is ready TO act.
II was back in 1908 that Ruby
became possessed of the idea that
there was oil and gas In the Ponca
City territory. BY persistent effort
he managed to sell enough stock TO
drill test we'll. II was put down
to 925 feet and about 100000 cubic
feet of gas were encountered. II
cost the Ponca City oil, Gas & Min

are very much in the limeiight at

Homer +. Wilcox may be regard
cd as the range 8 pioneer, having
been trying to find II in 1873 for sew

a couple of years ago by opening
up some excellent production west

The next township in range 8 TO
offer up some real excitement was

producing wells In this district and
between 30 and 40 wells drilling In
the Immediately vicinity and others
at various points In the township.
But the big excitement came with
the completion OF the Roland gusher
In 2-i5-s on May II. This well still
is making between 1000 and 5000
barrels a day, A few days after its
completion the same company got
the butcher sand three miles north
In 23-l6-S. What this well will do
remains TO be shown after II has
been drilled in. IL has been pro-
ducing around 900 barrels "a day

Township 20. range 8. served up
some excitement a few weeks ago
with the completion OF the Gillette
well In So. This Is a Wilcox sand
play and the three wells that have
thus far been completed have been
good producers.
The south limit of the excitement

Gus showings of gas. This well.
