~ several months, the Independ-
ent Copper Mining & Milling
company is preparing to carry out a
development program of unusual i'm
portance. The property of the COM
pany consists of three patented claims
lying north of the National and be-
tween that property and Missoula
Copper. Briefly stated. the Independ
ent company has secured an easement
from the National Copper Mining
company for the use of its tunnel, and
the plan is to extend the crosscut al
ready started at a point near the Ma
tional shaft to the Independent vein.
This announcement was made yester
day by John H. Nordquist, manager
and largest stakeholder in the indie
pendent who, with F. G. Gnaedinger,
engineer for the National, is at the
latter property today to complete final
arrangements for the work.
Good Showing on Independent.
The Independent vein was crosscut
many years ago about midway of the
group, the crosscut afterwards being
tAltlltu llllO NllSSOuld &OpDtls IAOAil
the crosscut the Independent vein was
explored west about 100 feet and east
500 feet, showing more or less lead
silver ore the entire distance and dis
closing a vein which Mr.. Nordquist
describes as one of the finest assures
he has ever seen. From the east drift
a shaft has been sunk 200 feet on the
quantities. From the bottom of the
shaft the vein was explored $50 feet
east and an equal distance to the
west, the vein maintaining it's great
strength with an increased amount of
ere, though not enough for profit.
Work was discontinued on account of
war conditions and the property has
since been idle.
Fine Outlook for Pay Ore.
The plan of development now to be
carried out, as described by Mr..
Nordquist, will explore the vein at
great depth and the showing above
justifes the expectation of finding a
commercial body of ore. The Nation
al crosscut which will be utilized has
been extended about 300 feet from
point not far from the shaft and prob
ably mile from the portal It is es-
timated that by extending this cross :
cut north about 600 feet the indie
pendent vein will be reached and at
a depth of 1000 feet below the tunnel
or 500 feet below the drift from the
bottom of the shaft. The matter of
handling the muck has been simpli
fed by permission from the National /
to dump in the old shaft workings I
The Independent company agrees to /
pay the National 500 per month for |
the use of the tunnel and the use of /
such equipment as there is on the /
ground which is little more than the |
track and air pipe. Mr.. Nordquist |
states that the compressor at the |

dependent on the east and has the /
same vein, will be moved to the Ma
tional as soon as the condition of the
road will permit also the electric
motor of 100 horsepower, thus provid-
ing a plant that will provide ample
power Work will start just as soon
as the compressor and motor can be
moved and placed in operation.

are the Bilberg estate and Forest

ORE BODY BIGGER AND BETTER
New Level at Morning Has Much Ore
of Shipping Grade.


According to reports from reliable
sources during the past week. the ore
shoot on the new 245O level of the
Morning mine is showing remarkable
Improvement since the account Of the
strike was published in the Miner. AS
drifting proceeds the ore body is much
wider and much of it is of shipping
grade. In fact it is stated that from
present indications the ore showing
on this level will prove to be the big
gest and best in the history of this
great mine. Preparation will soon be
made to sink 200 feet further and
open the 265O level which may be
confidently expected to disclose equal
ly satisfactory results.

The Facts in the Case.

ms reference TO a certain unlNef-
sity school of mines" evidently re-
/ fers to an authorized statement by
Francis A. Thomson, dean of the Ida
no school of mines and secretary OF
the state bureau of mines and geolO-
gy which was published in the Miner
in it's issue of November "a, 1921, and
it follows that the Miner must be the
Wallace paper to which Mr.. Moe re-
fers. As a matter of justice to Nj.
Thomson and the school of mines.
and also to free the Miner from the
insinuation contained in Mr.. Noes
statement, what Mr.. Thomson said re-
garding platinum on Slate creek, and
all that he said, is reproduced below
1t will be observed that no reference
whatever is made to the property of
the Royal Mining company and in
fact it was not known at that time, at
least so far as this paper is concern
ed, that the company claimed to have
platinum ore. The statement from
Mr. Thomson was merely to warn
prospectors and others against ire
sponsible assayers. and it must be
conceded that he performed a valu-
able service. His statement follows:
Reputation of Oregon Assayers.
Il have noted in your issue of No
vember a reported discovery Of
platinum on the Macedonia claim, on
Slate creek, the evidence in the case
being that assays on the Slate creek
samples were made by a reputed as
sayer at Grants Pass showing 196 OF.
of platinum.
IN fairness to the owners of the
Slate creek property the Wallace
Miner and to the mining people in
general. I feel it my duty to point out
that the firm Of assayers quoted en-
Joys a very unwholesome reputation
in their own state. In a recent letter
from a state official in Oregon, which
shall be glad to show to anyone in
terested, appears the following state
ment:
This platinum inspiration
comes from a couple of unscrup-
ulous assayers in Grants Pass,
who apparently have no other
way of getting a meal ticket than
to deceive the public by giving
optimistic and erroneous assays
on lump assays of ore and thus
tempting the prospector to repeat
many times. while they sit and
collect the assay fees. It is rath-

WHAT THOMSON SAID OF
SLATE CREEK PLATINUM
WARNED AGAINST FAKE ASSAY
ERS, BUT GAVE NO OPINION
ON THE DISCOVERY.

In an interview published in Il re-
\. H. Moe, manager of the Royal Mi
ming company, INDUCES in some un-
warranted criticism OF "a certain uni
versity school of mines" with respect
to its attitude toward alleged plaun-
UNI discoveries on Slate creek and al
so OF a Wallace paper for publishing
condenning the same. In the
course of his statement as published,
Mr.. Moe says:
High Assays From Royal.
Platinum deposits in the Royal
property have width of 200 feet
and run straight into a high
mountain, where a vein can be
traced for several thousand feet.
Samples of the ore assayed by ID.
L. Johnston and G. ~ Dozier, a
chemist from Grants Pass, Ore,
showed values of from $500 to
S11OO a ton in gold, platinum and
iridium. Evidently samples of
the ore fell into the hands of a
Gel tam univ SA oANy SCAODA Vi AAlAADoi
for Immediately there appeared in
Spokane and Wallace papers ar
ticles condemning the proposition
and stating that platinum could
not be found in such formations.
The assayers from southern Ore
gon were branded as takers and
meal ticket assayers, preying up
on innocent prospectors. This
statement, of course, had its ef-
feet, so that the whole thing was
dropped as far as our company
was concerned"

THE REPORT of the Callahan
Hinc-Lead company for the
year ending December 81. 1922.
The Bozeman courier. (Bozeman, Mont.) 1919-1954, 1923-06-13

Of the year-a matter Of ON nine
tons Of roughage. The COW produced
14,00O pounds of milk, which con-
tanned 470 pounds of butterfat- IN
the succeeding year, when in addition
to about the same amount of rough
age the COW ate 1000 pounds of grain,
the animal yielded more than $4,000
pounds of milk and 1923 pounds of
b~utterfat.
What such facts mean to the farm
er IN dollars and cents is shown by
another recent investigation made by
the department of agriculture. This
investigation proved that cows which
produced an average of 3250 pounds
of milk per annum showed an average
yearl yincome of 1925 above the
cost of feed, while those averaging
1890 pounds yielded an average in
come per annum of $21S.19 above the
cost of feed. The cows in this latter
group produced less than four times
as much milk as those in the first
group, while the average income
above the cost of feed was nearly
sever times as great.
These facts are of just as much

row of city houses as to those who

It 10 entirely reasonable to believe
that the present place and power of
the American people is due in no
small measure to cur cultivation of
the COW as an ally. 1t is equally
reasonable to that if we pay
a little more attention to the care of
COWS we cultivate we shall reap still
larger results.
Ten or twelve years ago an Hi
nois banker, the late B. F. Harris,
sensed the need of closer cooperation
between the man who creates wealth
the farmer-and those who handle
weaith-the bankers. As a result OF
his vision and ~ceaseless activities, the
American Bankers Association Great
ed an agricultural commission, and
subsequently the Pennsylvania Bank
ers' association did the same thing,
choosing as chairman of this import
ant committee E. B. Harshaw, of
Grove City.
Five years ago we had no pure
bred animals in this neighborhood,"
said MIR. Harshaw recently, while
today we have over 5000 pure-bTeds.
Since 1915 there have been organized
two bull associations with a member
ship of 112, three breeders ~associa-
tons with a membership of 252, a
creamery patrons association with a
membership of about 700, and a boys
and gils' calf club with a member
ship of about rs, and a ~cow-testing
association of about so members"
1t is obvious that a very small in
dividual increase in the annual total
of mix yielded by c.e na,l1n's dairy
cows would go to make up an enor-
nous increase in the sum total OF
milk production-and the cost OF

Perhaps no one thus far has given
thought to any connection between
the dry law and dairying, yet the
fact that during the first year of the
operation of the eighteenth amend
ment our per capita consumption of
milk in this country increased from
43 to 40 gallons-a rise of IA per
cent, as revealed by government fig
ures just published-offers food for

Bridging the Gap of Waste

Each day it becomes more evident that capital and labor must
gain more enlightened knowledge of the effect OF their operations
before the nas Of the people in this country arrive at a state OF
industrial peace and reasonable comfort. Certainly the present rela-
tonship does not work out and there are abundant evidences OF
abuses on both sides.
The high wage for the honest day of work, is the goal to be
sought. The high cost of labor because of inehiciency in manage
ment or plain loafng on the job never will accomplish. When the
railroads were taken over labor was sharply classified. Piece work
was abolished. Each man wa fitted exactly into his niche. The
result was heavy increase in labor cost for minimum production.
To open the door of a locomotive required the services of two men.
To remove a blower pipe two others were employed while to remove
che tip q machinist and his helper were used.
@Superfcial thinking labor leaders were quick to grasp this oppor-
tunity to fix a still frmer grip on the control of manufacturing
operations. Living costs naturally advance with labor costs.
Capital would like to see the means of production further stand
ardized mechanically, but it balks when Standardization is applied
to labor. Seemingly labor always must remain flexible. An honest
days work must be given, and at the same time a end must come
to the theoretical vaporings of men who figure the cost of bare
necessities of life a living wage.
We must come to see the difference between living and existing.

figures for 1922, now available, show
a continued increase in the consump-
ton of milk and dairy products.
With more than "a 600, 900 cows on
the job last year, we produced In this
country 1850, 100000 gallons of
milk, and the total value of this enor-
nous output exceeded $4,000, 000, 900
more than 500, 900 900 in excess of
the value of our corn crop, and $780,
900, 600 beyond that of our hay and
forage crops. Of this Niagara of
milk" as some one has termed it, 46
per cent was used in the homes of the
nation, and AZ per cent in the manu-
facture of butter, cheese and other
milk products. The calves Of the
country took pare Of 4 per cent, and 8
per cent was wasted-this last figure
representing a loss of some 35O,OOO,-
600 gallons.
In 1890, 80 years ago, III annual
per capita consumption of milk was
% gallons. By 1920 it had almost
doubled. Then came the shortage of
certain other beverages-and in a
single year the unprecedented IN
crease of six gallons per capita.
Even today, according to leading
health authorities, who are agreed
in this particular, our milk consump'
ton in the home is only half what II
should be. These experts base then
calculations not only on what has
been proven concerning milk as
food in scientific laboratories anC
through actual present-day expert
! ence, but also in the showing of his

tory, which consistently reveals the
milk-drinkers as the mightiest among
men and nations. AS we have before
pointed out. the recent war set a final
seal upon this assumption that dairy
ing plays a major part in the destiny
of peoples. A million cows would
have been worth more to Germany
than a million additional soldiers
indeed, the failure of that nation to
carry out its imperialistic plan was
due chiefly to lack of dairy food.

Farmerttes May Prove Angels

The experiment of the farmerette in some of the eastern states
may prove of greater import to the farmer than he imagines. If
the experiment be extended to the young men of the colleges there
will soon be an intelligent awakening to the fact that the farmer at
best gets a poor share of the value he produces. When thinking
men arr compelled to work for small wages because the industry
in which they are employed cannot afford to pay them decently, the
wheels will soon be set in motion to bring about a new order of
things.
The farmerete movement has taken deepest root IN the Catskil
mountains where New York girls art invited to spend their "vsca-
tons by the State Department of Labor. The girls will pick
berries and fruits. They will earn from So to $2 a week above
expenses. They will keep house comparatively and live in cottages;
converted barns and tents. Of course only the Gghtest work on the
farm can be affected until the plan is extended to include man labor.
There are thousands of boys working their way through college.
The state colleges of agriculture might prove excellent distributing
points.
While farm labor is supposed to be unskilled labor, the fact Is
that the average city man is quite useless on the farm. At the same
time one of the best investments the farmer could make would be
gathering to his aid young men of understanding and seeing to it
that they learn first hand why the farmer has been compelled to
keep wages down- -
