mite manager of the world champs.
"Never has the game been sd po-

use of new ball was the scheme
carried by the umpires.
"The result was a decided return
of old-time smuggling, an era Of

"Unquestionably the flop to the

"A return Of trick pitching that

Anaconda mine proper similar ore
has also been found during recent
years on the 3,000-foot and to a GER
tain extent on the 3,200-foot level.
Holding of this high grade of ore
to depth is one of the wonders of min
ing. Many geologists in the days OF
the Amalgamated-He litigation
predicted that Butte veins due to
their genesis would hold their grades
to great depth. Developments dur
ing the last few years have merely
confirmed these predictions of 20
years ago. In spite of its having
been the biggest producer of copper
in the world for more than 80 years,
Butte still promises to hold its lead
ership for many years to come.

plates will be required for Montana
this year.
The secretary of states department
began numbering plates for passen-

.l55,OOO PUPILS in
STATE SCHOOLS
MEANS THAT POPULATION OF
STATE is LARGER THAN
GENERAL ESTIMATE
Gain in Mining Sections; Deer Lodge
and Silver Bow Counties Register
Increase; 10000 Children in
1920 Census.

There are approximately 155,-
900 children of school age in Mon
tana, according to calculations
based on tentative school census
completed in accordance with the
Montana law.
Assuming that these figures are
substantially correct, if the ratio
of children between the ages of six
and 21 years to the total number
| OF inhabitants in the state remains
the same this year as 1t was in 1920
the year of the last United States
census, the population of Montana
at the present time would be 526,-
494.
In 1920 there were 161,262 chill
dren of school age and the United
States census figures disclosed a total
population of 548,SS9 in Montana,
thus the school age population was
approximately 29.44 per cent of the
total population.
Three Counties Not Reported
The tentative figures for 1928 as
compiled from an actual count con-
Quoted by the clerks of the school dis
Itricts in Montana show 147.749 chill
dren in II of the 55 counties. the fig
ures not having been reported by
three school district clerks, namely,
Gallatin, Garfield, Glacier counties,
where in 1922 there were 1887 chill
dren. The figures for Big Horn
county as reported are believed to
be incorrect as they show a shrinkage
that is too large, showing drop of
from 2,610 to 385. Consequently
Big Horn has been eliminated in the
calculation and for the four missing
counties an estimate of 5000 pupils
made. which is an exceedingly liberal
allowance for shrinkage. This meth
cd of calculation fixes the total of
school children as 155,749.
The figures reported to the state
superintendent of schools have yet to
be re-checked with each of the 55
county officials so that to arrive at
an estimate of the states population
749 have been deducted from the ten
tative total, leaving the school CEN
sus at $4,000, which state officials
believe is a conservative figure. The
total of $4,000 is 29.44 per cent of
526,494 which they figure as the
states present population.

MINING OUTPUT
FOR YEAR LARGE
BUTTE is PRODUCING 20 MILLION
POUNDS COPPER, 15 MILLION
POUNDS ZINC MONTHLY
This is 78 Per Cent of Normal; Min
ing Operators Optimistic; Grade of
Copper Being Mined Best in In
dustry's History.

Copper mines at Butte are produc
ing at the rate of about 234, 100000
pounds of copper year or 19,500,
600 pounds month. This is 7S
per cent of normal. Zinc output is
normal at about 100000 pounds
month or 180,000,000 pounds q
year, according to the Wall Street
Journal.
| In a message to the people of Butte
John D. Ryan and C. F. Kelley stated
| the payroll at Butte is higher than
for many years past and that, despite
continued chaotic conditions in for
eign countries with their necessarily
great effect upon the business of this
country, they are quite optimistic
especially as to Butte and Montana.
Former Senator w. A. Clark, who
has made more money out of the
mining of copper than any other per-
son in the history of the industry,
states that in his opinion Butte will
long maintain its we'll deserved honor
of being the greatest mining camp on
earth.
Other mine managers of Butte all
join in expressing the opinion that
mining conditions warrant continued
optimism as to long life ahead for
Butte.
All, however, unite in pointing out
that for Butte to continue to prosper
strict economy must be practiced, and
labor and the people generally of the
district must cooperate. With such
help the Anaconda company expresses
the hope that conditions will warrant
higher rate of output in the future.
The grade of copper ore mined by
the Anaconda Copper Mining COM
pany in 1923 will average higher
than for any year in the last 25 years
of it's history.
This is not due to any special sell
ection of higher grade ore as in the
first half of 1928 the company mined
as much higher silver ore as possible
so as to benefit from the Pittman
price of silver. Silver ore in the
Butte camp is much lower grade in
copper than the typical copper ore.
The grade of ore mined during the
past year by Anaconda has averaged |
better than IL per cent copper. With
such ore Anaconda's cost of produc-
ng copper after taxes and deprecia- |
ion but before bond interest is some
what under IL cents pound, credit
ng precious metals in the ore to cop
,er, but without drawing on mis-
ellaneous earnings.
The reason given for the persist
nee of grade in Butte mines is the
way that the rich chalcocite and en-
rgite ore persists in depth. On the
200 foot level of the Stewart mine,
n the western extension of the Ana
onda vein beyond the so-called Blue
ault, the Anaconda has opened up
wide body of 4 per cent copper ore

In analyzing the census returns for
! this year it is necessary to remember
that some counties which at first
glance seem to have lost heavily in
the number of school children have
lower total principally because of
loss of territory through the creation
of new counties. This is the case
with Missoula, Fergus, Flathead and
one or two others.
Oil Holds Population
Oil undoubtedly has been factor
in keeping the loss of population from
showing a greater total than it is
estimated to show. When the 1920
census was taken there was to all
practicable purposes, no oil industry
in Montana, consequently the influx
Of people into the oil districts has
