been intimately associated with
development Of mining properties
in the Neihart district since
1891.

1T will do little good to
stabilize the price of silver at
less than ST., he declared.
I'm the earlier days of the
NeIhart district, all ores were
shipped direct to the smelters,
consequently nothing but high
grade was shipped. In time most
OF this ore. near the surface,
was exhausted.
Then came the problem Of
milling, or concentrating the ore.
This proved successful. as It en-
abIed operators to mine the low
er grade ores and also to treat
some of the reserves Of low
grade that have been thrown a.
side on the dumps.
an Mines Now Idle
Every mine In the district
is Of course now idle. with silver
at the lowest price in world
history, around 25c per ounce.
Workings are all more or less
caved and 1t would require a
considerable outlay to put them
in working order. In addition to
this, must be considered the ex-
ira expense Of mining at great
er depth, considering these condi-
tions, 1t Is not, likely that any
OF the mines could or would go
to the expense Of resuming OPP
erations with silver at 75c per
ounce or lower. About all that
could be expected would be
little prospecting by leasers, for
high grade ore.
with silver at a fixed price
OF 81 per ounce. some of the
larger concerns would be justi-
fled in resuming operations. This
would necessitate the building of
mills for treating the ores. since
it is generally conceded that this
is the only economical way of
operating in the Neihart district.
Boom Predicted
with silver remonetized at it's
present rate of coinage. that is
16-to-1, which would give it a
fixed price OF 1929 per ounce, we
would have. directly tributary
to Great Falls. the second great
est mining camp in the state.
Gas far as business is concern
ed, it is not generally appre-
ciated by Great Falls business
men that this camp, to all In
tent and purposes. would be just
as profitable to them as though
it were located at the city limits,
Great Falls in the past has been
the only trading center for tho
Neihart district and it would OBJ
viously continue to be so. Geo.
graphical conditions make it inn
practicable for Neihart residents
to trade anywhere except in
Great Falls.
There are about 300 patented
mining claims in the NeIhart dis
trict. Of which 80 have at var
iOus times been producers, Shaw
declared.
BOnanzas Idle Too
Ten OF these-the Benton
group. Big Seven, Broadwater.
Florence, Gait, Hartley, Moulton.
Queen. Silver Belt, and Silver
Dyke-have each produced from
s1,oOO,OOO to $4,000, OOO," he de-
cIared.
What a return Of activity to
this district will mean to Great
Fails can be estimated best by
taking into consideration the fact
that while the Silver Dyke OPP
Grated its mine and mill, it alone

SO people. They contributed Just
as much to Great Falls business

pointees. This bill has created con-
siderable discussion by reason of the
expenditures involved and the oppor
tunity to add many new employees to
the payroll in the way of clerks, sec
retaries, stenographers, etc. 1t also

Thorough probe of the affair. Hall, a

offered $1,000 to "forget" a bill which
he was sponsoring, and which would
reduce interest rate on chattel loans.
He has charged a Cambridge loan Of

hearings no doubt will attract many
spectators to the chambers where they

The temperance committee of the

body and signed by Governor White
means a severe setback for the friends

Prices For Farm
Products Studied
Economist Finds Taxes Have Drop
ped From S164 to $11S Per
Farm

Farm product prices have declined
63 per cent during the last three years
while building materials have dropped
20 per cent in price, feltilizer prices
25 per cent, farm machinery prices Ia
per cent, and farm wages from so to
GO per cent, c. r. Arnold, rural eco
nomist, told Farmers Week visitors
last week at the College of Agricul-
ture.
Farm taxes, Arnold said, averaged
$164 per farm in 1929, but in 1882
were $118 per farm. Land values have
declined and in the spring Of 1882 the
average for the United States was IL
per cent lower than before the war.
Although farm machinery prices
are still quite high and have declined
cnly IA per cent during the last year,
farmers are meeting the situation by
using more man labor, more horse la
Dor, and raising more colts. Horse
feed is much cheaper than fuel or re-
pairs at the present time; and whether
prices adjust to lower price levels or
not, farmers will make adjustments to
meet it. In 1929 Ohio farmers spent
about $94 per farm for machinery
while in 1882 they spent only about a
third as much
Farmers are raising more of their
spent for purchased feed in 1882 was
only one-third as great as was the
case three years ago. Food is being
raised for home consumption. Less
fertilizer is being purchased and more
labor being used.

Chevrolet Makes Gain

Chevrolet dealers reported deliver

ing to word received here by H. r.
Denyes from H. j. Klinger, vice-pres-
ident and general sales manager of
the Chevrolet Motor Company This
is gain of 12.S per cent.
January sales were the largest since
June of last year, and the last ten
day sales were larger than any report
ing period since June 20-just prior to
establishment of a federal excise tax
and compare with 13,438 sales in
the last ten days of January, 1882, a
gain of 25.2 per cent, Mr.. Klinger an
nounced.
To date over $4,000 of the new 1893

Mans Reaction
To Machine Age
GARDEN BUREAU PREDICTS IN
CREASING TREND TO COUN-
TRY AND SUBURBS AS
LEISURE GROWS

/ While social adjustments to the ma
chine age will be great and may even
reach in degree those foretold by the
technocrats, statistics gathered during
the last twelve years by the National
Garden Bureau indicate that they will
take an entirely different direction
from that commonly associated with
modernism.
Moreover, adjustments have been
under way for years, unperceived by
most, and they will probably continue
at a pace so slow that no violent up
sets are likely from this cause, in the
opinion of James H. Budget, director
Of the National Garden Bureau, 130
North Wells street, Chicago, who
bases his prediction ON study of pop
ulation and housing statistics.
"While the work of the world is be-
ing performed increasingly by ma
chinery, men are not machines and
never will be-" said Mr.. Burdett. ''This
is not flippant statement, but one of
real significance Social evolution in
the United States during its history
has been the result of two chief and
conflicting forces, the desires of men,
and the compulsion exerted by eco
nomic pressure.
"Men have never worked in factor
les and crowded into slums because
they desired to do so, but because they
were forced to it by the necessities OF
our industrial system. Our great cit
les were the product of economic
pressure. 1t is obvious that when the
pressure is lifted, by technical i'm
provements, rising standards of living,
and increased leisure, life will assume
different pattern corresponding
more nearly to the life that normal
men desire.
Every day some new proof is dis
covered that men require close and
constant contact with nature in order
to be healthy. Sunshine, pure air, nat
ural foods, open air recreation, and
natural beauty are not only what the
doctors order, but what all men de-
sire for themselves and their children.
Even while our great cities were
reaching their maximum development
during the prosperity era, a great
heeira back to the country had set in.
"The only growth in population ex-
perienced by the cities of 100000 pop
ulation and over in the United States
from 1920 to 1880 was confined wholly
to their outlying and suburban areas.
There was in that period great
movement from rural districts and
small towns into cities, but it met an
equally large exodus from congested
city districts into suburbs.

BELL TELEPHONE
REPORT FOR 1893
REPORT FOR 1888

The fact that the American Tele-
phone and Telegraph Company was
able to continue dividends to its 700,-
900 stockholders at the regular rate in
1882, although these dividends were
not fully earned, was due in large
measure to the financial policy follow
ed in the past, according to the COM
pany's annual report for 1882.
The report, issued today, points out
that during the AT years of the COM
Eany's existence, it has never made
large profits, but it had by January /,
1882, accumulated by careful manage
ment and conservative financing, a
surplus amounting with its proportion
of the surplus of its associated COM
panies to 500 per share of its stock
outstanding.
"The company has never in any year
prior to 1882 paid cut all of its earn
ings and dividends, payments to stock
holders being limited to reasonable
dividends" the report states.
During the boom period culminat-
ing in 1929, in spite of considerable
pressure growing out of the specula-
tive fever, the company paid no mel
ons' to its stock holders, declared no
extra or stock dividends, and did not
split up it's stock. On the contrary it
made three substantial reductions IT.
long-distance rates and greatly ex-
tended the scope, increased the speed
and improved the quality of both local
and long-distance service.
During 1882 the number of Bell
System telephones in service decreas-
ed 10 per cent. The 13,T93,000 tele-
phones at the end of the year were
IL per cent below the maximum de-
velopment, a point reached in 1880.
Local telephone conversations were
about 512 per cent less than in 1881.
Toll and long-distance telephone con-
versations We're II per cent less than
in 1881 and % per cent less than in
1880, the year of maximum toll and
ong-distance use.
The report also calls attention to
the fact that the past ten years have
notable changes in the char
acter and scope of Bell System tele-
phone service. Improved methods and
have produced greater
speed, accuracy and conversational
clearness on local and long-distance
calls.
SIN spite of the necessity for rigid
economy in operation during the past
three years, definite progress has
been made in speed and quality of tel
aphone service" the report says.
"The Bell System, including the
Western Electric. Company and the
Bell Telephone Laboratories, had 29l,-
300 employees at the end of the year.
In order to keep the maximum num-
Der on the payrolls, employees were
sharing wcrk to the extent that 49,
700 more people were employed than
4 all were working full time"
