MONTANA'S 1926
Mine PRODUCTION
WAS S57,9S8,OOO

The value Of the gold, silver, COZ
per, lead and zinc produced from
Montana mines in 1926, according to
estimates received from C. N. Gerry
of the bureau Of mines, department
of commerce, was $57,988,OOO, a de-
crease from $61,O44,O06 in 1925.
The value of the gold output de-
creased slightly from 1~3,158,191
ounces in 1925 to 12,57O,OOO ounces in
1926, but the value decreased rela-
lively more from $9,131,784 to about
$7,844,OOO, as the average price of
silver decreased. Most of the silver
was produced from the copper ore as
in the past, but an increasing guam
tity resulted from the milling of zinc
ore and lead-Zinc ore at Butte and
Anaconda. The mines of the Ana
Copper Mining company and the
Butte and Superior Mining company
produced about t~hree-fourths of the
states silver. Next in order anne
the Silver Dyke mine at Neihart and
the Elm Orlu, Poser, AnselmO, and
East Butte mines at Butte. There
was a noteworthy increase in silver
from the Poser and Silver Dyke
mines.
The copper output decreased from
286,91O,OOO pounds in 1925 to 1885,
725,OOO pounds in 1926, and the value
from $3S, 185, $40 to about $685.
600.
The production of lead increased
from 37,53O,644 pounds, valued at
$685. 6 in 1925, to 41,700,0OO
pounds valued at $S,461,OOO in 1926.
This custom-milling is showing a
marked effect not only in the output
of Butte mines, but on mines in Cas-
cade, Granite and Jefferson counties.
The Angelica mine has thus become
a large producer of both lead and
zinc. Other companies, such as the
Silver Dyke, Block P, and Jefferson
Milling company, produced much lead
through the operation of their own
mills,
The output of zinc recovered from
r mined in Montana increased from
115,316,922 pounds in 1925 to about
137,OOO,OOO pounds in 1926. The val
ue Increased from $8,764,O86 to about
$1O,O7O,OOO. About 10000 tons of
zinc concentrate was shipped a month
to Great Falls and abroad from ore
produced in Montana.

NO REINFORCEMENT.

Congress has been five years try
ing to reapportiOn representation Of
its membership. After every federal
census congress has habitually i4-
creased the number of representa-
tives, and consequently the number of
congressional districts. This has been
done in proportion to the nations
population. In 1911 this process
brought the house to the unwieldly
size of 435 members. Consequently
when it was proposed in 1921 to add
another flock Of so or so congress-
men there was nothing doing" To
equalize the representation among the
states someone now proposes a plan
that would give II states a gain while
16 states would lose. The chances
are that there will be no reapportion-
ment until after the 1880 census is
taken.

FORCES DEMPSEY
 ID MEET WINNER
Former cbalnpiJi Must Prove Worth Before Meeting Tunney

New York, Feb. 24 R-Tex Rick ards ultimatum to Jack Dempsey has settled once and for all the status of the former heavyweight champion in the Texans matchmaking plans.
 Dempsey must defeat the winner of the elimination tournament now being staged at Madison Square Gar den in order to gain return match with Champion Gene Tunney. other wise the former Manassa Mauler will be retired from consideration as challenger.
 Dempsey will not meet Tunney unless he proves he is the best man among the contenders for the heavy weight title" the promoter said in answer to reports that Jack would meet the champion or no one.
 By that l mean he must whip the winner of the present series.
 When I started this tournament 1 signed contracts with all the men entered. I agreed to give them Tun- ney if they fought their way to the front. They all signed under those conditions Berlenbach, Delaney, Maloney. Sharkey, Pauline, Hansen. Mum. They are fighting honestly with that goal in mind.
 T couldn't sidetrack any of them and shove Dempsey in with Tunney for the simple reason that each man could hold me to my contract and sue me for breach of it. I wouldn't turn them down for Dempsey in jus tice to them either"
 Ripkard said he didn't know" whether Dempsey is planning a comeback He said he expected to learn Dempseys plans from the for mer champion within a few days But he won't get anywhere with me if he insists on getting into the ring with Tunney next September without openers" he added.
 The last foreign entry Pauline Uz- cudun, of Spain, is slated for a pre- liminary test Friday night against Knute Hansen, western heavyweight The only remaining contest already arranged in the series trings to the tourney, Jack Sharkey, of Boston. against Mike McTigue. who eliminat- ed Paul Berlenbach.

PEP AND HUSTLE
 IN G!AN7S' CAMP
Manager John McGraV Arrives at Sarasota to Take Charge

New York, Feb. q R-Pep and hustle and grim determination grip ped the Giants training camp at Sar- asota, Fla. today. John McGraw, pilot of the Giants, was there, which perhaps explained the sudden activi- ty.
 The bustling manager, starting his 25th year at the wheel of the New York machine, arrived in camp yes- terday from Havana and the magic of his name at once transformed a listless scene to hustle and energetic motion.
 Rookie hurlers jogging lazily about the outfield In the hot sun of a sul- try afternoon suddenly chased madly after fly balls batted their way when the quiet stranger who appeared in the shodaws of the dugout turned out to be McGraw. Pitchers warm. ing up at once acquired a faster pace and the train season was on in ear nest.
 Prominent in the workouts was Rogers Hornsby, who bunted to per- spring athletes, whanged out fun goes, and aided Roger Bresnahan in coaching the pitchers. Bresnahan Is trying to iron the kinks out of Jack Bentley's complicated loft hand de. livery. A southpaw Cuban hurler. Armada, from California, appeared on the lot for the first time along with Virgil Barnes, Fred Fitzsim- mons and Fay Thomas of the Giants staff. Dewitt Lebourveau. slugging newcomer to the outfield, who ap- pears destined for plain "Bevo" in the box scores, also reported yester- day for duty.
 Five players, Grabowski, and Phil lips. catchers; Wiltze. pitcher: Gehr- ig, first baseman; and Davis, out fielder. will leave here tomorrow as the advance guard of the Yankee squad which will gather at St. Petersburg, Fla, Sunday.

 BOGAM, GERMAN CHAMP
Pins Opponent to Mat in 15 Minutes Five Seconds Through Flying Mare-Stocca, Italian, Beats Aberg of Russia With Hip and Head Lock-Draak and Stevens Go 30 Minutes to Draw-Excelent Card of Bouts Draws Only Meagre Gate.
Wladek Zbyszko, a perfect speci-

Wladek Zbyszko, a perfect speci- men of physical development and idol of the Polish race, scored a sen- sational victory over Arthur Boganz. heavyweight champion of Germany in the star bout of the National A. c. wrestling card at Odd Fellows hall on Arch street last night. The for- mer worlds champion was fin splen- did form and in the bout, which was one fall to a finish, he settled the issue through a series of his famous flying mares. The time of the match was 5 minutes and five seconds.
 Boganz was worthy opponent for the former champion. He used all known holds in trying to pin Zbyszko's shoulders to the mat for the required three seconds, but al- though Wladek was in many tight situations, through his skill and science, he was able to either worm or wriggle out of his opponents grasp and turn the tables in the twinkling of an eye.
 The card of bouts was an immense success from a wrestling standpoint but 1t was a decided flop" from the promotorial end. A total of 169 paid admissions was taken in at the door and the crowd was very small. Despite this. the wrestlers gave good battles and the promoters, satisfied that the game can thrive in this city, are making plans to stage an- other card here in a few weeks
 In the semi-fnal, decided upset was witnessed when Alex Aberg. reputed to be one of the strongest contenders for the heavyweight title now claimed by both Joe Stecher and "Strangler" Lewis, was downed by Joe Stocca, Italian. in a one fall to a finish bout in 40 minutes and Al seconds.
 The two principals in this bout roughed it about the mat and gave a spirited exhibition of all the holds known to wrestling. Coming to their feet after an intensive few moments of struggle, Stocca suddenly seized Aberg, threw him with a hip lock and won with head lock. Aberg failed to become enthusiastic over the loss of the bout and for some time afterwards, wanted to continue.
 In the curtain raiser. Tom Draak. Holiander, and Harry Stevens of New York wrestled 30 minutes to a draw. Draak, known as the master of holds" proved his right to tho title although he could not down Stevens.
 George Dunn of Hartford acted as announcer. Arthur Pilz Of this city acted as time keeper and NJ. Kowal- ski acted as referee. Details of tho next wrestling card will be an- nounced in the near future
