Seek Montana
Geological Survey

Montana mines support 10000
citizens and contribute to the income
or $4,000 others: and since 1852 they
have contributed S3,000,000,000 to the
wealth Of the world. So members of
the mines. committee Of the State
Senate and House Of Representatives
We're told last month at a meeting at
the Placer Hotel in Helena under the
auspices of the Helena Commercial
Cub.
DR.. Francis Thomson, president of
the State School of Mines: w. B.
Laly, general manager o.. the Ana
conda Copper Mining Company;
Louis " Bender, general superintend-
ent Of the Washoa smelter in Ana
conda; Walter Brett. secretary of. the
Rocky Mountain Oil Association, and
Alex Leggat, former president of
Montana section American Institute
of Mining and Metallurgical Engi-
neers, were among those to address
the meeting, which was resided over
by j. ID. Mckenzie, general manager
of the East Helena smelter.
Creates New Wealth.
The mining industry's contribution
to the growth and wealth of Montana
was traced bv DR.. Thomson, who de-
clared that this industry mas created
three billion dollars of new wealth for.
the state since its beginnings 60-odd
years ago. He proposed also the crea-
tion of a~state geological department
which he said would ~ermit greater
development of the latent possibilities
Of the states mineral deposits.
w. B. DAILY, in the course of his
address, said that 10000 men are di-
rcctly engaged in mines. mills and
smelter work. Another 10000 are9in-
directly engaged in these lines. These
10000 have, it is estimated an aver
age of three dependents each. This
marks a total of 10000 nersons who
depend on the mining industry for
their livelihood. !
Taking into account those who sup
ply the mining communities with
foodstuffs, meats, vegetables, cereals,
fruits and transportation will bring
the total number who derive substan-
tial benefit from the mining industry
up to approximately 100000 people
or 40 per cent Of the population Of
the state.

Farmer Tells
Of Making Money
In DairYing

That dairying can be made to give
profitable return to the farmer
is becoming to be considered almost
truism, but it is always interesting
to read of concrete instances with
figures quoted to prove the truth of
the assertion. The following state
ment taken from folder put out by
the Great Northern Railway company
to advertise the Flathead' valley will
interest farmers in this district who
are milking cows and others who are
contemplating going into dairying.
This statement is made by A. l.. Fry
berger, under date of July 25, 1923.
Mr.. Fryberger says:

cember, 1926, from. Bassano, Alberta,

NORTHWEST BATTLES FIRES.
Intense Heat and Electrical Disturb
ances Handicap Fight to Halt Flames.

SPOKANE, Wash. August up. -
Several fires in Washington and Idaho
forests yesterday resisted the efforts of
fire fighters, who were handicapped by
intense heat and electrical disturbances
which it was feared might cause more
blazeS.
Thermometers we're crawling up above
100 all around this region as the Kelly
Hill fire, which has terrOrized ranchers
between the Kettle and Columbia rivers
for a week, broke out afresh in brush
and timber in a rush toward several
ranches which are between the flames
and the confluence of the rivers.
Every man who could be conscripted
was pressed into service against the
blaze. 1t was not known how much
new territory the fire had covered. 1t
had been controlled once, after burning
over 5000 acres.
Three miles south of Marcus, Wash,
q fire, supposedly started by loco
motive, proved of stubborn resistance to
60 fire fighters and threatened ranch.
Forecasts of thunderstorms gave
forest officials at, Missoula, Mont, grave
concern. The fear was expressed that
electrical disturbances might cause a
great conf1agration in the Northwest.
After II efforts a man recently COM
nitted suicide at Beauvais France.

Desperate Battle Is Waged

BRANDON, Wise, August l. A
cracking. hungry flame nearly 20 miles
long covered the northwestern corner of
Oconto County today and, famed by a
stiff wind, was licking deeper into For
est County and the northern Wisconsin
lake country
Actually there were five separate fires
strung out in a wavering line, roughly
paralleling the Northwestern Railroad
right-of-way. However. with not sin
gle rain cloud speaking the blood-red
sky, and the wind that yesterday was
in the southeast early today veering to
the north, the gaps between the fires
were growing smaller.
Residents Ready to Flee.
With more than thousand State
conservation officers and volunteers
fighting the flames with AK and shovel
to check their inroadS on some of the
most valuable timber still standing in
Wisconsin, the residents of half dozen
numbering towns were ready to flee.
Great pillows of smoke were rolling
through village streets so thick at times
that it was difficult to breathe.
The fire early this morning was clos

to the south. Only the dryeSt kind Of
country lies between the village and the
Conf1agration. but unless the wind veers
again the town is safe.
Lumber Camps Breathe Easier.
Carter, which yesterday was almost
completely cut off by the flames, was
breathing a bit easier early today. So
were Townsend and Lakewood and a
half dozen lumber camps in the path
of the fire Wabeno still farther to
the north, although choked with smoke,
is not in the danger zone as yet. The
newest of the fires, however, was dam
gerously close to Buffers Rock, in the
Peshtigo Swamp region.
Men desperately we're digging bitches
and fire breaks last night. Timber
lands in the path of the flames were
being cleared of the dry slashings left
after recent lumber operations But in
the face of a tricky wind, those in
charge feared the only thing that would
check the fires you'd be rain. The pre-
diction for the fire country was fair
and warmer.

muniration to Jasper L, Travcrs,

of this inland lake. Wittcr states
that:

the Nalton Sea, striped bass viii
thrive. He said he would RECON-
mend a trial The striped bass i,

and stays par1 time in salt and part
