critics Good Showing.

Certain moneyed interests of the
East wrote to Libby parties recently
asking for statement regarding the
mining resources of this district. f.
reply to that inquiry, the Libby Com
mercial Club drafted the following let
ter, which contains no small amount
Of interest for the general public. The
letter reads:
Referring to your letter Of September
21st, the Chamber of Commerce cf
Libby, Montana will not make re-
port on any stated mining property or
group Of claims. It's province is to try
and promote the general welfare Of the
community. This is done by calling
to the attention Of the public our at
tractive country and natural resources
Aside from timber, our mining
ground and developed mines constitute
our best commercial assets and orr
hope for county development and
prosperity.
More or less prospecting has beer
done in the Libby area since 1867 when
gold was discovered in the placer dig
gings on Libby Creek, three or four
miles below the falls. The geological
and structural conditions have been
pronounced favorable by many we'll
known biologists and mining engineers
for the formation of metaliferous de-
nosits. The Libby area resembles close
ly the well known Occur d'Alene min
ing district just south of lis and the
formations have been closely CORE
lated by several we'll known geolo-
gists.
Our mineral values are in gold sill
yer, lead, copper and tungsten mostly,
with some zinc.
There have been several thousand
feet of erosion and this eroded ma
terial carries the placer gold and black
sands The best placer deposits occur
on Libby Greek, Cherry Greek and the
West Fisher River. Records show that
over $4,000 has been recovered from
these gravels. Considerable gold has
been taken out of these streams OF

Lions Club Will
Build Fountains
Along Highways
Cement To BE Donated by Three Forks
Company--Ccst OF Charter Night
Exercises S91.I0.

The Lions Club enjoyed another
rousing meeting Monday evening at
their regular twice a-month dinner,
served this time at the Model Cafe.
Aside from the singing and jollifica-
transacted
President Christensen called upon
j. A. Krall to report what action had
been taken by the community relief
committee. Lion Krall reported the big
need of the committee is for cash and
suggested that a purse be made up and
donated to the committee.
Secretary Fitch submitted a report
covering expenses Of the Charter Night
program which totaled $91.l0.
President Christensen read a pledge
that Lions headquarters is sending out
to all Lion clubs and asking that the
individual members sign it. In signing
the pledge. the members promises to
give some employment each week to
those out of work, in addition to what
ever men are regularly employed by
the members, and also to purchase each
week some article or articles not an
absolute necessity. The object is to
assist in overcoming the unemploy-
ment situation and also to speed up
buying. The pledge was freely signed
by the Libby members.
Four copies of the moral code for
youths, sponsored by Lions Information
al, have been received here and are
to be posted in the school buildings
after being framed The club will fur
nish the glass for the framing and the
manual training department of the
school will make the frames.
A new one was sprung on the as
sembled Lions by President Christen-
sen when he asked how many Lions,
out having a good time, had been
thoughtful enough to buy some little
present to take home to the Lioness
Every Lion had to plead guilty to this
charge Of forgetfulness and was fined
10 cents each. The fund thus secured
paid for box Of candy. Each Lion
had been given numbered slip, cor
responding numbers were placed in
a hat and JAS Christie, guest asked
to draw a number The third number
was to be the lucky one; It was not
held But when the fourth number was
drawn II was found that Mr.. Christie
had drawn his own number and ho
won the box OF candy for the wife

Raised Quotas
Red Cross Gives Additional
Funds for Montana
Dakota Relief.
8, 400 FAMILIES
WILL BE IN NEED

HELENA, November 5.-The peak Of
American Red Cross relief operations
in the Montana North Dakota drouth
area drew step nearer with the open
ing of November when additional ap-
preparations, amounting to $108, 720.00
for the two states, were made by the
national organization Drouth relief ex-
penditures in these states, plus the
November appropriations, total $685.
84500, according to r. A. Sheppard,
Red Cross Drouth Relief Director, with
headquarters here.
Before the end of this month, Shep-
ard said, $40 families, almost equally
divided between Montana and North
Dakota will require Red Cross assist
ance in some form. This number rep
resents gain of 2,435 families receiv-
ing aid through October. II is esti-
mated that 1855 families in the two
states will require aid during the peak
period of the relief operation.
Golden Valley county, Montana, and
Dunn and Ward counties in North Da-
kota, which heretofore have carried on
their drouth relief work from local
resources, have been added to the list
Of chapters receiving cash grants from
the national organization.
Facing increasing distress with the
advent of colder weather. both states
moved onward in their combined Red
Cross Roll Call and drouth fund cam
paigns this week with hope Of reach
ing their quotas in the near future.
Eleven OF Montana's Sc counties have
reported successful campaigns Phil
lips, Rchland Valley, Gallatin, Mussel-
shell, Teton, Liberty, Chouteau, Lewis
and Clark and Rosebud have advised
Shepard that their quotas have been
exceeded In North Dakota Barnes
county is reported to have reached
its full quota Several others are so
nearly finished that this week will
see them over the top. Several commu-
nifty chest campaigns which are com
bined with the drouth fund drive in
the two states, will be started this
week.

Annual Halloween
Ball Is Unusually
Pretty Affair
Libby Womans Club Again Sponsors
Successful Social Evcnt--Net Profit
About $500.

There are number of social af
fairs that have been conducted an
nually in Libby for several years and
that invariably are great successes. One
of these is the annual Halloween ball
sponsored by the Libby Woman's club.
This year it is again possible to report
that the affair was most successful
from both the social and financial
standpoints.
While the gross receipts undoubted :
ly were affected somewhat by the pre-
vailing hard times, yet the net re-
turn was satisfactory. Mrs. Walter
Neils, efficient president of this popu-
lar civic organization. states the club
will realize about SIS after all ex-
penses are paid This, it is understood,
will be largely used for charitable
purposes this winter
Considered from the social stand
point, the ball was most pleasing. The
Kienitz hall was beautiful and with
the soft lights the effect was most
charming. The hall had been lined with
white cloth for the Junior Prom OF
last spring and this was left in the
hall, which made lovely background
for the decorations for this affair, so
lastly placed by the ladies' Corn
stalks, pumpkins, witches, hobgoblins
fall leaves and soft lights were COM
bined in such way as to call forth
pleased compliments from the dancers
The ladies have embarked on a pro-
gram ECONOMY and the decorative
effect obtained was all the more re-
markable when it is considered that
the cost was less than $500.

the man came to town the other day
with bottle of gold that he disposed

Is Practicing for Community Cantata

The cantata given by the combined
musical talent of the city last Easter
was such a pleasing success, that the
same people have been induced there
by to prepare another such program
to be rendered about December 49,
Practicing is already under way and
rehearsals are being held weekly in
the Presbyterian church. The cantata
that will be sung is entitled, THE
Manger of Bethlehem"
A new feature for this affair is being
considered; that is, community song
service preceding the cantata in which
the entire audience would be asked
to join. In order to make the cantata
as complete success as possible, it is
necessary that practically all the mu-

very much if singers will volunteer
