Meagher Blacksmithing coal, &C
cording to Rowe, is found in Cas-.
cade, Teton and Park. Semi-anthra-
cite, according to Rowe, is found in
Madiso nand Park counties.
Of the 1,051, 100000 tons OF
Ignite coal in the United States, the
U. s. geological survey reports $751;
000,000,000 tons, or more than a
third of the total is found in Mon
tana.
Among its chromite deposits is one
bed in Sheridan county 27 miles
long.
According to the U. S. geological
survey, Montana contains the ina
tons greatest, best developed, and
most available reserves of high-grade
manganese Ores" the Importance of
which metal came to light during the
world war.
Manganese Ores.
The requirements of eastern steel
makers created the demand. The
Butte and Phillipsburg districts af-
forded the supply. The estimates of
1918 showed that Phillipsburg in
Granite county contained about $780,
600 tons of manganese ore reserves,
and the Butte district had nearly the
same amount in sight.
During the years 1916-1919 these
two districts produced 100000 tons
of manganese. With the close of the
war and the importation of foreign
manganese the demand for the do

nestle output has decreased, but the
state of Montana still produces an
nually about $4,000 tons of mangan-
ese. Output of Arsenic.
The demand for white arsenic to
fight the cotton boil weevil has slim
ulated a dormant Montana industry,
the production of arsenic. The state
is producing 220 cars annually and
the amount is being increased.
Big Lead Production.
Montana's annual output of lead is
81, 100000 pounds which is obtained
from many widely scattered mines.
Montana is fourth in lead production.
Yogo Sapphires
Americas chief yield of precious
stones comes from the sapphire
mines of Montana. The output of the
sapphire workings in Yogo gulch in
Judith Basin county, represents one
half of the value of Americas produc-
ton of precious stones. Montana
gems are admitted to be the finest in
he world, excelling even the Oriental
sapphire in eveness of color, radiance

Every mining engineer west of the
Mississippi was skeptical. Half of
the people of Butte called him vision
airy. Some thought he was crazy.
DAILY persisted. He bought up or
leased many other properties, start
ed operations on a big scale, and
made Butte the greatest mining camp
| on earth.
Today three monuments vindicate
Days vision and faith. One stands
opposite the federal building in the
city of Butte. 1t is bronze replica
of his face and figure and one of the
last masterpieces of August st. eau
dens. Another is the huge Anacon-
da reduction works, the largest non
ferrous smelter in the world, which
incidentally boasts the worlds larg-
est smokestack, nearly 600 feet high.
The third is the Anaconda Copper
Mining company, the largest copper
mining, smelling, refining and fab
ricating organization in the world,
with 10000 stockholders and proper
ties in a dozen states, and several
foreign countries.
Largest Producer.
Although at the present time Ari-
IONA and Utah with their low cost
porphyries, are outstripping Butte
in annual copper production, she still
retains first place as the nations
largest producer to edate. In the 40
years since operations were started
Butte has produced $500, 100000
pounds of blister copper or 81 per
cent of the nations total output. Her
present production is about 225, 000,-
900 pounds or approximately IA per
cent of the copper production of the
United States.
Development of Zinc.
Within the last ten years Montana
initiated and brought to rapid de-
yelopment the fourth stage in her /
mining history-that of zinc. Butte
hill was long known to contain i'm
portant deposits of zinc ores. But
they were so refractory as to be re-
garded more of liability than an
asset. For years the metallurgists
Of the Anaconda company wrestled
wit hthe problems of reduction until
finally, in 1916, an electrolytic pro-
cess was developed weherby the ores
could not only be reduced on a sat
lstfactory commercial basis, but that
the resultant grade zinc is known to II
commerce as 99.9 pure.
Montana's present production of II
electrolytic zinc is around 10000
300 pounds year. III

 all, forgot all about his quarrel with Peter.
 Go it, Peterl Go itl' he screamed excitedly.
 Peter did go it. He had to. He ran with all his might. Reddy grinned as he saw Peter start towards the Green Meadows. It was a long way to the dear Old Brier Patch and Reddy didn't have any doubt at all that he would catch Peter before he got there. He watched sharply for Peter to dodge and try to get back to the old stone wall He didn't mean to let Peter do that. But. Peter didn't even try. He ran straight for the edge of the hill above the Green Meadows. Then for the first time Reddy noticed an old barrel lying lon it's side.
 T wonder if he thinks he can hide in that" thought Reddy and grinned again, for he remembered that he had passed that old barrel d few days be- fore and that one end was open while the other end was closed. If he tries that I will get him without the trouble of much of a chase" thought Reddy, and chuckled. Lipperty-lipper- ty-lip, ran Peter, lipperty -lipperty-li Reddy right at his heels. To Sammy Jay it looked as if in few more jumps Reddy certainly would catch Peter. .'Go it, Peter! Oh, go it!' screamed Sammy, for in spite of his quarrel with

Is downright fooiishness indeed. MEYER forget that Never do such |N crazy thing as Peter Rabbit
 was doing. What was he do- ing? Why he was running the risk of being caught by Reddy Fox all for the sake of joke. Did you ever hear of anything more foolish? Yet Peter was no different from a lot of people who every day risk their lives in the most careless and needless ways just to save few minutes of time or for some other equally foolish reason. The fact is Peter didn't stop to think what dread full thing might happen if his plans didn't work out as he intended. He didn't once think of little Mrs. Peter over in the dear Old Brier Patch and how she would feel if he never came home again. That's the trouble with thoughtlessness it never takes others into account. ss
 All the time that Reddy Fox was creeping along behind the old stone wall on the edge of the Old Orchard, Peter knew just where he was, though Reddy didn't know that. If he had known it he would have suspected one of Peters tricks. You see Peter had quarreled with sammy Jay just to get Sammy to screaming so that Reddy would come up from the Green Mead ows to see what was going on and he knew perfectly well that Reddy would steal along behind the old wall so as to see what was going on.
 Hell peep over that wall and just as soon as he sees me he will feel sure that this time he will catch me-" thought Peter. He will steal along to that place where the wall is lowest and will jump over it right there. I must be ready to jump the very sec ond he does."
 It all happened just as Peter had ex- pected. While seeming to be paying no attention to anything but to sammy Jay he kept his eyes on that low place in the old wall and presently he saw Reddy's sharp nose as Reddy peeped over to make sure that he was still there. The instant that sharp nose dropped out of sight Peter made ready to, run for his life. A second later Reddy leaped over the wall and Peter was off as hard as he could go with Reddy almost at>his heels. Sammy Jay, who had been so busy calling Peter names that he hadn't seen Reddy at

We Women
Christine. The Uncoiventional Girl

ChriSCne, The Unconventional Girl EHRISTINE was born with a chip
 on her shoulder. She defies
 style and she defies custom. Because other people do this and that k no reason why Christine should do the same. As a matter of fact, Chris line feels it is an excellent reason why she should do differently. Wherefore, she guides herself accordingly.
 Christine's point of view is such that thing drives her into a fury more than another it is to be told by a dreSsmaker or milliner that everybody is wearing this or that kind of dress or hat. Christine perceives an implication in Statements of this kind that she, too, should wear what everybody is wear ing.
 Wherefore, she either walks out of , the shop in a rage, after telling the saleslady just what she thinks, or else picks out hat or dress because every body isn't wearing that kind of hat or dress.
 Christine is q type.
 She is the Unconventional Girl.
 Christine's point of view is ouch that she sees red frequently. Intellectually she is a radical. Politically she is pro- gressive and independent. She sym pathizes with socialists who are sim cere, but has contempt for the social ists simply because they are awkward symbols of political unconventionalism.
 Christine was one of the first girls to bob her hair. At that time it was considered a daring and unconven- tional thing to do. Christine did it. She believes the Declaration of Inde. pendence is one of the gredtest docu- ments in the world. She constantly de- clares her independence as an indi. vidual.
 She smokes cigarettes. She smokes, no matter where she is. The fact that she enters a home that is hide-bound by Puritanism does not restrain her. People, she feels, can take her or leave her. She hates hypocrisy. She is tactless because tact, in her opinion, is compromise between the blunt truth and a graceful lie
 She reads Russian literature. She has a fanatic interest in the new so- cial, political and intellectual theories Freud is one of her favorites. She be. lieves people have complexes, but she would scout the suggestion that she has an unconventional complex.
