Is Worthy

Exploration
Mining Engineer Tells Of
Promising Possibilities
in Libby District.
j. Fl. EBY SPEAKS
AT CITY LUNCHEON

The Libby district of western Mon
tana is a good prospective mining dis
trict according to J. H. Eby, mining
engineer, at joint luncheon of the
mining bureau of the Chamber of COM
merce and the Northwest Mining as
ISOLATION in the Spokane yesterday.
says the Spokesman Review Parts
of it are worthy of intensive ex-
ploration, he told the 80 engineers,
mining men, prospectors, mining at
torneys and others present. He believed
that the operations would be profitable
in some places.
Whether lead or other metals, all
of the ore contains gold" said Mr.. Ely.
In the early '70s, when the country
was suffering from a paper money in
digestion, prospectors rushed in looking
for gold. They found the gold, but the
Indians rushed them out Of silver
lead ore, the Snowshoe mine yielded
about $1,000,000 worth, and the Gla-
cier, formerly the Lukens-Hazel and
before that the Shaughnessey located
in the los, yielded probably $500, 900.
Where Stamps Dropped.
Three or four stamp mills, equipped
with tramways, were operated in the
West Fisher creek area about 1906.
Early miners skinned the cream OF
the gold placers. Geological conditions
are favorable in the area about the
Snowstorm. The situation of the Snow
shoe mine is one Of the most favor
able in the district.
There are possibilities for small
operations in the gold area; also for
the opening OF ore bodies of impor-
lance. The bedded veins provide OPP
portunities for the small operator.
Large properties could be worked to
advantage under the block leasing sys-
tenn conducted successfully in the Grip
pie Greek district of Colorado, if
mill were provided for the dressing
Of the lessees ore.
Bulletin to Be Issued.
THE Libby district is perhaps rs
miles long between Granite creek and
Silver butte It's width is two to five
miles. 1t is occupied by exactly the
same series Of rocks as in the Occur
dAlene region Of Idaho, from the
Pritchard on through. A bulletin cover
ing the situation will be issued by the
United States geological survey in a
year or two, a years work remaining
to be performed"
Engineers and others remained after
the meeting to hear further the obser-
vations Of Mr. Ely, who has studied
the Libby district at intervals the last
10 years. Frank NJ Smith presided at
the luncheon.

Jack was a good booster for Libby
and gave us some mighty fine adj
vertising
Of course, everyone around here
knows that Jack has spent his summers
for a number of years as a cowboy
guide in Glacier national park. at
which occupation he is highly efficient
and in which he can impart a strong
touch of glamour reminiscent of the
old West. AS the story unfolded Mon
day night Jack" was introduced 10
lady by Old Timer and proceeded
to tell Of the glories of Montana and
Of Glacier Park and of Libby. Later
he took part in skit depicting a
bunch Of cowboys going to town on
payday, all of which made mighty in
teresting entertainment for Libby's
radio audience and which has caused
much comment. The Great Northern
devotes considerable effort to adver-
Using Montana and especially Glacier
Park and was glad to weave in Brown
as character typical of the Western
cowboy and guide. Y
There is more of a story than ap-
peared on the surface in the Mon
day night program. One day the
Western News reporter scouting around
for news, stepped into place of BUSH
ness in Libby and noticed a large
autographed photograph of strikingly
attractive young woman standing on
the top of desk. The autograph was
addressed "Affectionately to our friend,
Jack" or words of that import who's
the fine looking dame who is sending
the photo to our jack" the reporter
inquired. He was told the sender was
Miss Virginia Gardiner, a writer Of
note whom Brown had met in the
park last summer. Further inquiry de-
veloped the interesting news that Miss
Gardiner is not only very attractive
young woman but that she is also high
ly talented; that she writes numerous
skits for radio programs as we'll as
doing other literary work and is also
radio actress. The magazine, Radio
Digest, contains an article in its last
number very complimentary to Miss
Gardiner. She and Brown struck up
friendship while she was touring
the park last summer and she wove him
into character in the Old Timer pro-
gram that was broadcasted Monday
night. 1t is said that Miss Gardiner
wired Brown to be listening Monday
night as he was to go on the air" at
that time.

COLORFUL STAGE SET FOR
ANNUAL JUNIOR PROM

Final arrangements and decorations
have been completed for Lbby's big
annual social affair-the Junior Prom
Kienitz hall has been transformed
within week into an artic ballroom
glittering with all its splendor in moth
ing but pure white decorations.
A larger crowd than ever before
is expected to attend this Prom Over
three hundred local invitations have
been sent to patrons of high school
activities, SO a conservative estimate
Of the Prom crowd would be at least
$50 couples,
To insure greater pleasure for the
Prom patrons and more informality, the
junior class has decided not to make
this occasion a program dance. This
has been decided only after the class
received great many such sugges-
tons from townspeople who had been
invited to previous Proms.
One of the features of the Prom will
be senior dance, at which time the
seniors will parade in grand march
Special favors will be given to them
at this time by two junior class Off
GERS These favors will be yellow
roses, the junior class flower
The North Pole orchestra pit will be
occupied by Bolyard's band Dancing
will continue from $50 to 100 o'clock

Ride Out of Town on Rail Sug-
gested for 0'Hara After
He Confers With Powers

CLARKSBURG, w. Va, Sept.
4 Q.NS0.-Threatened by a
crowd to be ridden out of town
ION a rail-" Barrett O'Hara,
famous lawyer and criminologist,
who was mentioned as possible
associate defense counsel for
Harry Powers, Bluebeard murderer
Of five, planned to return to
Chicago today.
A heterogeneous mob staged a
demonstration against O'Hara as
he was leaving the county jail
after visiting Powers with the
latter's chief counsel, j. Ed Law.
The demonstration reflected
the inflamed sentiment of the
community against any attempt
to strengthen the chances Of
Powers to escape the hangman'S
moose.
Charging that police had "sav-
agely beaten" Powers, Law re-
ferred to the "scathing arraign-
ment" of police third-degree
methods contained in the Wicker
Snam CommlCCee report.
Army Record PrObed
Meanwhile, police settled down
to quietly building the chain Of
evidence against "Slaughterhouse
Harry"
City Detective Southern awaited
word from Washington on his re-
quest to investigate the reported
army record of Powers, alias
Cornelius PierSOn, alias Joe, Gil
dag, alias BjOrgO. His picture
and fingerprints have already
been forwarded to the Federal
authorities.
City Detective Southern re-
ceived a letter from Chief of
Detectives James E. McCarty, Of
Detroit, showing that Cornelius
Pierson had joined the American
Friendship Society, with head
quarters in that city, on January
IL, 1881, and had received 300
names of women with whom to
correspond.
