Report on the recent code hear
ing for the linseed crushers, held
In Los Angeles on Tuesday and
Wednesday of this week will be of
interest to the flax growers of the
valley.
John L. Dubois, president of the
Southwest Flaxseed association; j..
D. Adams, vice-president; Argyle
MacLachlan, secretary, and Waldo
w. Weeth, foreman of the Melo-
land Experiment station, represent
ed the local growers.
Two Representatives of the ma
tional code committee were pres
ent as were those of the AAA.
According to the report of the To-
cal representatives, protest was
registered by the crushers and
growers of flaxseed in the south
west on the basis of unjust allot-
ment having been made. The al
lotment was made on the basis OF
the amount of seed crushed in
1888 regardless of the amount of
crushing done previous to that
year. Only two coast mills, one in
San Francisco and one in Los An
geles, under these provisions, could
crush valley seed.
The provisions of the code per-
mitted direct appeal to the secre-
tary of agriculture for additlona
crushes and an exception wa'
granted to the mills operated by
w. B. Coberly, formerly a resident
of Calipatria, whose mills will bt
permitted to crush $500 tons.
The chairman expressed his ap-
probation of the testimony pre-
sented and stated that no decision
would be made until all the evil
dence had been received. Those
who wish to file additional briefs
will have IS days in which to dc
so and the local group will file ii
that time.
Weeth testified as to grades, seec
grown in the valley, the cost OF
processing, etc.
Brief Filed ,..
MacLachlan filed a brief setting
out the position of local growers
and protesting the allotment, ad'
vocating establishment of grade;

cotton, supporting Weeth's testi-
mony.
Dubois made an appeal for pro-
lection for the farmers and Adams
testimony was in support of that
given by the Other valley repre-
sentatives.
According to the local represent
atiyes it was evident to them and
to the coast crusherS and growers

that a strong effort is being made
by, the large crushers, in the Min
neapolis and Atlantic areas, to get
more than a lions share of thes
crushing. In the course of tn
meeting it was brought out that
substitute oils, instead of linseed
are being used in many paints as
high as to the amount of 40 per
cent.
Local growers also stated that
the two large firms appealed for
support for the present tariff on,
linseed oil but had no objection 70
the. duty free oils being imported.
A representative of the Archie
Daniels Midland Co. stated that he
had information indicating that a
reduction in the tariff on flaxseed
was requested while reduction will
be opposed by the local group.

M. E. Martin, Pioneer Prospector
of Beartooth Range, Was First 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 a 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 a few months of each year, and
the remainder of his time was spent in
prospecting the Beartooth mountains.
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 10 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 a 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 a 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 eights
months Of each year prospecting the
canyons and ravines in the Beartooth
mountains.
He has aquired q valuable know
ledge Of metallurgy and is consulted by
mining engineers and authorities on
many major mining problems.

(By JOHN X. STANDTSH)
Many wierd story was being told
by those who returned to Pennsylvan-
Ia from the Black Hills in the sos and
'90s, Of the life in the gold camps,
Indians and frontier warfare, which
prompted young man Of the age Of
20 years by the name Of NJ. E. Mar
tin to seek a new environment and
journey westward. His first stop in
the western states was at Fort Yates,
in the Dakofas, where he enlisted in
the 9Th u. S. cavalry, and served one
enlistment. After being discharged
from the service he spent several
years in the mining camps in the
Black Hills, where he acquired some
mining property These holdings were
sold to the famous Homestake Mn
ing company, when Martin started
further west.
He visited Cooke City, Mont, in 1900,
making the trek with a covered wagon
over barren and desolate trail, which
lead him by the way Of Sunlight, Wyo.,
CrandIe creek and over Dead Injun Mill
into Cooke City. Mr.. Martin tells Of

(, forthwith, the only really important
chromite deposits In this entire country.
I make this last statement with full
knowledge Of the location, size and
availability Of practically all cllromite
deposits In North America. 1 know from
practical experience and travel that
this deposit in Carbon county is by far
the largest and finest deposit of chrome
ore on the North American continent.
It is a veritable mountain Of chrome.

chromite. In the Industrial field,
chromite plays very important part
The ceramic industry would be hope

were our sources of chromite cut off
The printing ink industry, without
chrome pigments would be in bad way
too as color pigments made from
chromite are the best They are per-

on the Telegraph plate. The fine color
printing Of the great Chicago mail or
der houses, the beautifully executed

one sees in all of the high class maya

come largely from chromite. The same
is true of the paint industry The very

are made from chromite pigments.
