that DR.. Gibson of the u. S. Geological
Survey spent two or three years il
this district making a survey of tn,
Libby quadrangle. This circular cover.
gold bearing veins in the extrem.
southeastern part Of the quadrangle
and definite reports are made on some
IL or 13 properties in that district The
report naturally is technical but it con-
tains much valuable and interesting in
formation We reprint the opening
page, which appears under the head
ing, Abstract"
THE area described in this paper
is one of rugged mountains, composed
chiefly of folded and faulted sedimen-
tary rocks of the Belt series. In the
nearby region the beds are intruded
by diorite sills and granite stocks.
Glacial drift, including silt deposited in
lake, covers much of the lower slopes
OF the mountains and partly fills the
valleys.
incomplete records show a produc-
ton of 100000 in gold, mostly from
the oxidized free milling parts of
quartz veins. Except a few in the Wal
lace formation the veins are found in
sandstone and shale of the Prichard
formation. They partly replace the
country rock along fractures that COM
monty follow bedding planes but also
cut across them at moderate angles.
The veins average between | and 2
feet in thickness and react maximum
of 6 feet. They are cut by faults of
small displacement, with which the ore
bodies are commonly associated.
Quartz forms IS per cent or more
of the veins. Of the remainder, on or
more of the minerals pryrite, galena,
sphalerite, and pyrrhotite are relative
ly abundant, and chalcopyrite, arsen-
opyrite, tetrahedrite, and scheelite are
present sparingly. A little silver is
present, and in some veins it exceeds
the gold considerably.
In many veins an original quartz
filling has been slightly brecciated or
sheared by movement parallel to the
walls. Sulphides and gold have been
introduced along the shear planes
partly replacing the quartz and Civ
ing the vein ribbon structure. The
gold is closely associated with the ap-
and silver is more plentiful
in the veins that carry galena.
As a rule oxidation has not extend
ed far below the surface and its chief
product is limonite. Cerusite and an
glesite are present in some veins, and
a little malachite, azurite, pyromor-
ohite, or manganese oxide occurs in
few Native gold is present in both the
oxidized and unoxidized ores.
Although mining of these veins in
the past may have been improbable,
that result was due partly, at least, to
difficulties of transportation and mill
ing. With improvement in roads and
not to mention appreciation
in the value of gold, the deposits are
believed to have promising future"

The annual city election, held last
Monday in Libby, at first promised to

Tito spirited contest. Only one Off
cial ticket was filed with the city clerk
and there was only one contest on it,
that of J. H. Skidmore and ]. w. Haig-
Ter for the office of police magistrate.
But day or two before election it was
learned that a competing ticket would
make its appearance on election day
and the issue was joined The second
ticket was handled by means of stick
ers and written In names. The appear
ance of this second ticket was what
made the election lively one 1t re-
suited in bringing out one of the largest
votes ever cast in Libby city election,
there being a total of 557 votes cast.
The candidates on the official ticket
all won reelection with the exception
of two. William Kammeyer defeated
Vernon Crotteau for alderman in the

THE CONSUMER AND THE NRA.

The following testimony was given in behalf
of the Consumer and the NRA free-tor-all re-
Gently held in the Capitol:
"Mr. Parodneck produced figures showing that
chain-store sales rose Is per cent from April to
December OF last year, while the average price
of food and clothing combined rose q per cent
the quantity of goods sold might therefore be
estimated to have declined about 8 per cent.
Moreover, according to Mr.. Parodneck and the
statisticians OF the Emergency Council OF Con-
sumer Organizations, department-store sales
have increased only l per cent since last April,
while during this period the prices of goods sold
in these stores have risen u per cent. Con-
sequently, the quantity of department-store sales
declined 81 per cent from April of last year to
January of this year. Mr.. Parodneck, concluded
triumphantly by mentioning the uncomfortable
The buyers strike is on" he said, Government
figures prove it. Only the transfer OF power
from big business, which throttles recovery, to
the people will stop it"
Meanwhile at another hearing Professor A.
Anton Friedrich, Of New York University, was
addressing the hearing on trade practices, and
conjuring up the gallant ghost of Professor Viii
Hdlh l.. quill WAO lSSiSHNN ACli IN I'm
sumers' Advisory Board last summer because "he
believed that consumer representation could per-
form its functions only if all data bearing upon
prices, costs, production, capacity, and capitali-
cation were made available to it." Professor
Ogburn's ideas, according to Professor Fried
rich, were inferred in a filing cabinet to be kept
company later by equally worthy suggestions
for consumer protection" Professor Friedrich
also aired a new wisecrack that is going the
rounds in Washington, to the effect that the
Chamber Of Commerce has moved from the
White House, where it was under President
Hoover, to the Commerce Building under Gen
eral Johnson and A. D. Whiteside."
Butte Consumers are invited to attend a meet
ing to be held next Tuesday night at 8 o'clock
in Carpenters Hall to organize for their pros
lection.

SENATE DEBATING
CONTROL OF WIRES
Telephone Companies 0p.
pose Bill Before House
Committee.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Legislation to put the mammoth
wire and wireless systems under uni
fed Federal control started its journey
through the Senate today while tele-
phone companies voiced opposition to
the measure in testimony before q
House committee.
Senate passage Of the communica-
tions bill was expected within a day
or two unless the debate became pro-
longed Unexpectedly.
Appearing before the House mster-
state Commerce Committee on the
ministration-backed bill, F. B.
Mackinnon of Chicago, president of
the United States Independent Tele-
phone Association. advocated that
State commissions be given a greater
voice in determining the dividing line
between Federal and State regulation.
Declared Interstate.
He said SO per cent of telephone
company's business is conducted
within a State.
I'VE submit" he added, that who-
ever regulates SO per cent OF a COM
pany's business must necessarily regu-
late the other per cent.
Not only cannot some of the new
requirements proposed in the pending
bilD be applied to our companies be-
cause of the very nature of the COM
panies, but this question Of State and
Federal overlapping will present itself
in connection with every one of them. "
Commenting on proposals that the
independent telephone companies
should be turned over to the Bell
System, he said:
I'VE submit that the two groups in
the telephone industry under separate
ownership have been and are essen
tial to the public service, and we
submit that radio. in which some
of our manufacturing companies are
deeply interested should not
be hindered in its development by
any such proposed monopoly"
Would Set Up Board.
Chairman Dill of the Interstate
Commerce Committee, In introducing
the bill in the Senate, unfolded a
formal report on its declaring regu-
lation of the telephone monopoly
has been practically nil"
A bipartisan flve-man board,
named by the President at salaries
of $4,000, would regulate the COM
munications systems. taking over
existing powers of the Federal Radio
Commission over radio and the Inter-
state Commerce Commission over tele-
phone and telegraph.
The commission would be divided
into two divisions, one to control ra-
dio and the other to supervise tele-
graph and telephone companies.
Regulation Proposed.
"One reason for this statutory divi-
SION" says the committee report. lis a
desire to achieve effective regulation
of the telephone and telegraph busi-
ness.
Your committee believes that un-
less the law provides clear division
of powers. broadcasting problems be-
ing so numerous, the commission
would give most Of its attention TO
radio and neglect the problem Of teie-
phone and telegraph regulation"
OF telephone companies, the report
declares:
This vast monopoly which so i'm
mediately serves the needs OF the peo-
pie in their daily and social life must
be effectively regulated"

OFFICE
TO COST S325,OOO
President Indicates He Will
Set Aside Fund for
Repairs.

The enlargement Of the Executive
ONCE at the White House is expected
to cost somewhat in excess Of $780,
900.
In anticipation of this, the Presi-
dent has indicated he will allocate
1926, 900 of the 81 1922 900 included in
the supplemental appropriation esti-
mates he sent to Congress today.
A separate memorandum specifying
this intention, along with other spe-
ciflc requests which are certain to be
made by the President if broad dis
cretionary powers are granted, will be
sent to Congress.
Inasmuch as none Of the several
plans for building an addition to the
Executive Office has been approved by
the President, it cannot be estimated
now just exactly how much this addi-
tional Office space will cost, but 1t is
felt certain by advisers that the $685.
900 will be sufficient.
President Roosevelt has before him
the several plans, as well as opinions
and recommendations from the United
States Commission of Fine Arts, but
because of the pressure Of business
he has been unable to reach decision.
He expects, however, to reach a con-
clusion very shortly.
Because the construction work
necessary to carry out any one of the
three plans will consume at least
three months. and possibly more,
there is a possibility that the Presi-
dent may put off the whole project
until later, probably next year or the
year after.
1t has been suggested that he con-
duct his work from his study on the
second floor of the White House, or
that working quarters for himself and
his staff be found in the basement of
the mansion, but the President has
not ventured any opinion.
During the repairs to the Executive
Office after the fire during the Hoover
administration temporary quarters
for the President and his Office staff
were set up in the State-War Build
ing, but associates Of the President
believe this would not be satisfactory
at this time.
The Ofice Of Public Buildings and
Public Parks, which will have charge
of the work is awaiting the Presi-
dents order to go ahead"

had been done the three Federal men
left the building, still under surveil-
ance by the gunmen.
Lenz promised to bring the records
of his organization here today for
presentation to the grand jury, but
he had not arrived at noon.
Robb said one of the inner rooms
in the suite of Offices was entered
through a door equipped with an
electric lock which could be opened
only by pressing a coin against hid
den contact points. He asked one OF
his guards" why this lock had been
installed.
"Oh. that's just to keep peddlers
out" the gunman replied.
Preliminary Survey.
Earlier in the week Loebl went to
the building to make a preliminary
survey of the ground. He was iot-
ting down the names on the office
doors when three men, their right
hands in their side coat pockets, ap-
preached him. One stood in front of
the agent and the others on either
side
What are you doing here, buddy?"
the leader asked.
Just taking a few notes." Loebl re-
piled.
Taking notes. are you?" the other
said. We'll. scram."
Loebl obeyed.
If the records covered by the sub
poena are produced here in accord
ance with the agreement. they will
be placed before the grand jury imme-
diately. Garnett said the Govern
ment hopes to prove that the District
agency and similar organizations in
other cities we're supplied regularly
with race track information by the
Chicago agency. 1t is charged the
