M. E. Martin, Pioneer Prospector
of Beartooth Range, Was F irst to
Discover Rich Chrome Deposits

I drank the entire cup full-it wasn't
such bad stuff either"
Mr.. Martin then came to Red Lodge,
then small growing mining town,
which had approximately 300 miners
employed in the old Red Lodge mine.
The Bearcreek and Washoe mines had
not been opened at that time and no
activity was being carried outside Of
the Red Lodge mine. The prospector
followed his trade-that of a painter,
during few months of each year, and
the remainder of his time was spent in
Today Mr.. Martin is looked upon by
mining men, and others as an author
ity and beSt-versed mining man in Car
bon county. In 1905 Martin first dis
covered the large chrome deposits in
Hell Roaring canyon, which is located
approximately is miles south Of Red
Lodge. At that time there was no mar
ket for the mineral, but as Martin con-
tinued to pospect for gold and silver
he came upon more deposits. Notation
was made Of their locations and upon
the entrance of United States in the
World war in 1917 the value Of chrome
was first known to the prospector. Gov
eminent agents were sent out into the
mountain districts in search of the de-
posts, and upon their acquaintance
with Mr.. Martin they discovered the
largest chrome deposits in North Amer
lea which are located in Carbon coun-
ty. Mr.. Martin was employed by the
government at that time, for the dura-
ton of the World war, to prospect the
hills for chlorine, platinum and tungsen.
Very little traces were found Of the
latter two minerals, but Martin con-
tinued to find more chrome deposits.
The value of the mineral at that time
was approximately SITS a ton, but at
the close of the war the value dropped
out of the market, and chrome is SELL
ing for $25 ton at the present time.
With the new automobile develop
ments and the demand for chrome
steel there is steady increase in the
demand for the product.
Mr.. Martin is growing old, but he is
still active and able to do real days
work" day in and day out, with the
pick and shovel. He tells many wierd
story Of the early mining days in the
Black Hills of South Daokta, the con-
struction of ShoShone dam, where he
was employed as machine man for
sometime; his experiences in Cripple
creek and other mining camps in Col
orado, where he spent couple Of years.
Martin has spent practically all his
time in Carbon county since 1900, and
has devoted practically six or Fights
months Of each year prospecting the
canyons and ravines in the Beartooth
mountains.
He has aquired a valuable know
ledge Of metallurgy and Is consulted by
mining engineers and authorities on
many major mining problems.

DAILY SHORT STORY
BY ELUEN 0. PHILUTPs


 Nothing but the end of every thing could have interrupted Eve's romance with Roger Lanning. Blair Conway could not know that when he pitted his brotherly infiu- ence against that springlike ec- stasy.
 Eve only laughed at him. i've love each otl1er,' she insisted. the thing" he argued. Hes my best friend and all that, but he's been married"
 "Alice has been dead for two whole years. And if anything is deader than an old love I'd like to know it." Even Blair could see the the loveliness of her when her gray-green eyes turned suddenly golden with mischief and her dim ples twinkled in fire-pink cheeks. He laid one heavy hand on her slim shoulder and spoke seriously.
 There was never a love like theirs, Evie. You're darling kid, as sweet as they come. but Alice was an extraordinary women-she had a wild, free spirit that could never die. That's what would come between you and the man she loved so fiercely. He has never for gotten her. and he never will. No man could" His own eyes dark ened as if they saw again that vivid personality.
 A little shiver went through Eve. She stood still, staring at him. Then she laughed. faint, brittle laugh that shattered Blair's thoughts.
 You were in love with her." she accused. Blair, whatever you say, Rog and I are getting married. There's no earthly reason why we shouldn't be happy forever and ever!"
 "No earthly reason" Blair re- peated. But there is-your jeal- ousy! You're a little spitfire. You hate anything that comes between you and those you love. You'd drive Roger and yourself wild with your jealousy. He spent four years with the most perfect woman ever created and you will hear him re- >fer to her hundreds of times-you won't be able to keep that green eyed cat inside you with her claws sheated and her teeth hidden. It will break out every time you hear her name.
 Eve turned away with misty eyes, but her little head was pea cock-proud.
 They were married in county clerks dusty office. For a month there was happiness beyond any, thing Eve had ever dreamed.
 When Blair dropped in and found her alone one night she laughed at him.
 "I knew you are being silly, Blair. He hasn't mentioned the fair Alice once" Yet even as she
The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-09-11

When she had been married six months Eve no longer wondered how Alice had looked. She knew. Alice had come to live with her. It was funny-that night when the woman came for good. They were sitting before the fire in Alice's perfect living room and Eve was watching Rog as she often did. He was 50 big and so dear. Suddenly there was some one else there, man, tall and slight of form, with mass of yellow hair and blue. blue eyes. Her hand lay on his dark shoulder. Tenderly she looked down on the man she had loved. Very definitely, she wore blue dress.
 Eve came slowly over to cuddle her own smallness in Rogers arms. One tiny hand touched his shoulder and pushed slightly, so that he lokoed surprised. She brushed the black glory of her hair against his face. Then she drew away and asked, abruptly: "Rog, where did you get that long, golden hair ?" She held it up in the light and it gleamed like uVlng InlnS.
 He dismissed it lightly. Must have come off Alice's coat when I trapped it up for the Salvation Army"
 He had not mentioned it to her. She could see him standing in the dim attic with Alice's slim coat about his own shoulders. The days dragged on and each night saw the blond woman stand ing just behind Roger at mealtime and following him up the wide stairs at night. She always wore blue and smiled mysteriously. Then one night Eve and Roger | discussed dinner party she was giving for his friends. She always
 wanted to please him. | What kind of dress shall get ?" | Absently, he answered. Blue.
 Eve, a pale blue. I love it." The
 woman behind him beamed with
 satisfaction.
 Eve got up slowly and moved
 away toward the stairs. Roger sat
 looking into the fire. What he saw there she never knew. She had ceased to wonder.
 When she came downstairs again he was still there. She stood at the door, something in her hand point ing to that which she saw just be- hind him. There was a dull ex- plosion. Roger continued to stare into the fire, but little smoking hole in his shirt front turned crimson. Behind him was nothing now. Everything had ended. Copyright, 1894, The Chicago

To Hit Strike.
.FurUnionSays

NEW YORK.-The announced in
tention of David Dubinsky, presi-
dent of the International Ladies'
Garment Workers Union, to con-
slider, at this time, the absorption
Of the so-called International Fur
Workers Union into the I. L. G. w.
U. is called outright strike breaking
by the Needle Trades Workers In
dustrial Union in a statement is
sued yesterday. 1t is common
knowledge that the fur workers are
members of the Fur Workers In
dustrial Union, and that the pres
ent strike conducted against the fur
trimming manufacturers is COM
pelling the latter to come to terms
with the union.
Ben Gold, general secretary
treasurer of the N. T. w. I. U. and
leader of the present fur workers
strike, declared that Mr.. Dubinsky
is evidently rushing to the aid of
the fur manufacturers because the
fur workers are engaged in an effec-
tive strike for better working condi-
tions and because the International
Fur Workers Union is no longer
able to assist the bosses. ''NIr. Du-
binsky's action also signifies his
fear that the fur workers will
emerge completely victorious in this
struggle and thus win sufficient
prestige and power to assist the
dressmakers and cloakmakers and
the other members of the I. L. G.
w. U. to free themselves from the
strangle- hold of their self-Seeking
officials and misleaders, such as Mr..
Dubinsky," said Gold.
"The action of Mr.. Dubinsky will
not and cannot help the fur manu-
facturers," he said, because the fur
workers have demonstrated their
determination to fight for humane
working conditions and a union of
their own choosing They have
carried on this struggle successfully
despite all attempts on the part of
fur manufacturers and A. F.. of L.
officials to intimidate and terrorize
them by means of gangsters, un-
warranted arrests, frame-ups and
even murder, as the recent bombing
and numbering of Morris LANCER
and Harry Gottfried."

A call has been issued to all
workers in Allentown to join gen.
eral strike. In Reading the work
ers of the Bankroff Silk Mill have
voted to walkout tomorrow. The
Executive Committee of the Ma
tional Textile Workers Union meet
ing this afternoon in Easton to de-
eide on the question of the strike.
George Blakely, organizer for the
international Ladies Garment
Workers Union, was in Easton to-
day attempting to break up any
attempt on the part Of the work
erS to establish united front.
Blakely told Walter Trumbell Dis
trict Organizer of the N.T.W.U.,
that the A. F. of l.. officials would
not allow any members of the A. F.
of L. Unions to sit on a commit
tee with members of the N.T.W.U.
1t was reported that the A. F. of L.
officials would attempt to place the
strike solely into the hands of the
local Central Labor Board.
In Easton, where the A. F. of L.
officials are trying to disrupt all
moves toward unity, there are only
a handful of A. F. of L. members.

of 1900 and is organized 100 per
cent in the Onadaga plant, the

The Hosiery Workers in Phila-
delphia have not yet decided on
strike, having been held back by
their reactionary officials. A mo-
tion was passed, however, at the
last meeting of the Hosiery Work
ers Union pledging to refuse han
die scab silk in case the silk work
ers came out. The silk workers will
be out tomorrow and everything
indicates that the Hosiery Workers
will follow them, despite attempts
Of their leaders to hold them back
The plan put forward by the Ma
tional Textile Workers Union in
the Eastern Pennsylvania area is
for one united strike committee, one
set of demands and one strike, and
that representatives from all
unions be included on regional and

WILKES BARRE, Pa, Sept. 81
Ben Ramovich, local president Of
the American Federation of Silk
Workers, announced that the strike
in Wyoming Valley will not be
called until Wednesday and will
then affect but one shop. A meet
ing at noon today in the Trades
Council Hall was attended by less
than 100 out of $4,000 silk workers
and addressed by Russell Wood,
president Of the A. F. Silk Workers.
Wood announced that he demands
from Pinchot the calling in of state
troopers to see that strike is run
properly. He praised Roosevelt, the
N.R.A., and asked workers to stand
by the president. who is anxious to
teach the manufacturers a lesson.
John B. Gallagher, executive OF
the United Mine Workers, tried to
discourage the strike action by say
ing that the silk workers never do
anything for themselves and added
that he was proud of the record
that he helped bar the National
Union from the union halls in Ply
mouth during the strike here last
year. The Communist Party, Un-
employed Councils and the oppo-
sition is working to mobilize the
workers to picket the mills and to
make the strike effective immedi-
ately, instead of waiting for prom
ises of action by the takers. The
Communist Party is holding
meeting of silk workers to put be-
fore them the question Of rank and
file leadership and united action to
win.
