thorough examination.
1T Is improbable that large reserves
of high-grade ore exist in any Of the old
mines: but the presence Of considerable
tonnages Of loW-grade material, con-
sisting largely Of zinc, has been prov
ed in several properties, and Is suspect
ed In many more. Why, then, has not
this low-grade ore been exploited?
In the first place, rich ore has been
available in the past, which, by careful
sorting, could be concentrated to a
grade that would profitably stand the
costs Of direct shipments to smelters.
in spite of deductions for zinc. Second
", veins are relatively small, and min
ing costs high, and with the exception
of few of the larger mines, the in
stallation Of milling equipment was
considered an unSound investment. In
most cases the mill would be far from
the mine and the haulage costs would
be large.
Thirdly, the process Of selective con-
centration Of the products Of complex
ores was not as efficient as 1t Is today.
A fourth, and very important factor in
causing the general shutdown OF the
mines, was the rapid drop in metal
prices, especially silver in 1923 and
1880
1.-THE former practice Of sorting the
ore streak from the mined material
has placed on dumps large quantities
of vein-stuff which contains from 2 to
20 ounces of silver and a little lead
and zinc. From time to time, the
dumps have been picked over, the sell
ected material shipped to shelters, or
milled locally.
Scattered dump samples taken by
the writer indicate that much Of the
waste since 1t is already mined Is now
ere which might be profitably exploit
ed by use of the proper methods OF con-
centration.
Bodies of low-grade ore have been
left in many mines during the careful
selection of rich material practaced
by early miners. The downward extern |
sion of ore shoots depends chiefly on
the continuance of stable structures,
a condition that cannot be ascertained
without underground exploration, but
assuming such continuance, the zonal
Indications favor downward extension,
with an increase in base metals and de-
crease in silver.
an order to mine the low grade |
pres, zinc must be transformed from
a liability to an asset. This can be |
achieved by modern methods Of selec-
tive flotation, in which a mill unit
produces q zinc concentrate. The Tim
Der Butte mill, at Butte, by this process,
handled Iow-grade ore from Neihart
1t very low cost. The Comet mill, near
Basin, produces a zinc concentrate, lead
and pyrite Qron) concen-
rate. The zinc Is sent to Great Falls
and the remainder to East Helena. In
Montana oil and mining journal. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1931-1953, 1935-06-29

Z this way, the zinc produces profit
instead Of penalty.
"A milling program calls for the de-
veIopment Of large tonnages OF Gre and
/ a large daily output to keep I'D a con-
tinuous and efficient production. Very
few single veins at Neihart are capable
Of supplying, at the desired rate, the
ore demanded by that process, and yet.
taken together in groups, this may be
accomplished.
THE following discussion is based on
the theory that in the collective opera
ton Of closely associated groups Of
veins, there Is hope Of an economy
Of production that could not be sc
complished by the former wasteful old
time methods Of individual selectlve
mining Of high-grade portions Of veins. "
In dealing with the three distinct
geologic units of the area, the Neihart
slope and the Snow creek and Carpen-
ter creek areas, Mr.. Schafer made the
following recommendations and con-
illusions:
ION the Neihart slope, the plan OF
mining and milling ore from group
of veins In this locality is not new.
Something of that idea may have
prompted the Neihart Consolidated
Mining company to start their Com
promise tunnel from the village. Aar
Jesse L. Maury examined the district
in 1929 with the same idea in mind
At present, with the encouragement
given by an improved silver price, such
a program comes again to the front.
''The portal Of the Compromise tun-
mel is not well situated for adequate
dump room and mill site, but this could
be remedied by starting the adit on

lee
along the MouIton fault would cut the
Broadwater vein about $50 feet below
the No. level, cutting, on the way, the
Hartley vein, Rock Greek vein, and
numerous other veins on the ground Of
the Neihart Consolidated Mining COM
pany. The total length of this Cross
cut adit would be about $500 feet. BY
serving the double purpose Of drainage
level and haulageway for the Hartley
and Broadwater Mines much economy
of operation can be achieved. BY the
consolidation of the Broadwater, Hart
ley, Rock Creek, Moulton and possibly
the Gait, a sufficient mill feed may be |
maintained to supply a larger concern
traitor than would be possible by oper-
atoms, thus effecting a considerable |
saving in milling costs OF course, a 1
large initial expenditure for develop /
ment much precede the design and con-
StructlOn OF mill.
I'm the Snow creek area, three for /
merry producing mines are ideally dis
posed for a single large operation, the
Big Seven, Benton and Ripple. From
the lower adit of the Big Seven, D.
000-foot croSscut would cut the other
veins. However, it might be necessary
TO place the mill on Snow creek in or
der to get sufficient water, and In this
case a train haulageway would be re-
1uired. The probability Of the presence
Of considerable ore of milling quality
Is great enough to warrant a thorough
examination with the idea Of mining

Engineer Bettner thought othe 7

preparation be reduced Ia elevation.
Eighty years have passed since Lieu
tenant Grover made his noted travel
experiment and So years have slipped
into history since Bettner looked over
the route for the Northern Pacific rail-

altitude barrier to future travel has
since lost its formidable aspect. Today
the beautiful region OF the Big Black
foot river drainage is the scene of

LIEUTENANT MADE
TRIP OVER TRAIL
IN 1854 GROVER MADE NOVEL TX
PERTINENT WITH DOG SLED;
HARDSHTPS EXPERIENCED

Recent interest in the proposed
new scenic highway from Great Fails
to Miss0ula by way Of tine black
foot valley suggests the subject Of
previous examinations Of this route.
The white mans conquest e. this
region began with the expedition Of
Lewis and Clark and their bard Of
explorers I'm 1895, when they tO0Ax
this route on their way back from
the Pacific ocean. They called this
the river road TO the buffalo be-
cause Indians were accustomed to 60
this way to hunt buffaloes on the
plains Of the upper Missouri.
Many years have passed since Lewis
and Clark made history on this trail,
but its use as q highway continues to
the present and gives promise Of be-
coming a main artery of tourist travel
upon the completion of proposed road
building plans.
Perhaps one Of the most unusual ex-
aminations OF the Blackfoot route was
performed IN January, 1854, when Lieut.
20. Grover made his novel experiment
with a dog sled With four toboggans
drawn by ii dogs and accompanied by
five men, Lieutenant Grover left Fort
Benton Jan. 2, with Fort owen in the
Bitter Root valley as his destination,
which he reached Jan. %.
Theodore Kolecl1i, typographical en-
gineer, made survey Of the Blackfoot
route in the summer of 1860. His di-
rection Of travel was the reverse to that
of Grover and made under conditions
much more favorable to travel Kolecld
started from the junction of the Big
Blackfoot river with the Hellgate and
followed the trail along the right bank
as much as he could.
Near the upper Missouri the trail
forked and passed through Lewis and
Clark pass and also Cadotte's pass after
dividing. KOlecki was interested In the
features of the country and
made his survey chiefly to test the
route for the practicability of future
railroad travel. His recommendation
did not strongly boost the route be-
cause he thought it somewhat rugged,
as is inferred In his observations. Like
that Of Grover, Yolecki's survey was a
government project.
In the interest of the Northern Pa
cific railroad, the Big Blackfoot route
was surveyed by Assistant Engineer
Bettner in the fall of 1871, when It was
found TO be somewhat high in elevation
for railroad construction. According
10 newspapers Of the time, Cadotte's
pass was found to be $500 feet above

zinc-lead-silver ore appear TO merit
careful examination. Possibly three or
four deposits on Hagener creek could
be handled as q unit in conjunction
with mill, but thorough geologic in
vestigatiOn and considerable new de-
Velopment would be necessary TO deter
mine the feasibility Of that enterprise. /"

the Persians and Egyptians. Through
out. he said, the Magi have believed
in the existence of Christ. In contrast,
he continued, the heathen and the

existence of Superior Being in some
form while the pagan has attempted
to falsify Christ.
ITO falsify Christ Is to declare the
teachings of Jesus untrue" DR.. Weaver
said. 1T is to misrepresent Jesus and
in denying God they refuse to- ac-

are towards in that they fear to face
the future. They delve into the mire
Of materiality and there slip and slide
around in the slime of evil and ignor-

Hauptmann's story that he received
the Lindbergh ransom money from
Fisch.
"Of course. may not know every

Uhlig went to Germany with Fisch
a few months before death sealed the
lips of the little furrier: was with him
in Leipzig when he died. and returned
to the United States to dispose of the
dead mans effects.
Although he said he believed the
ransom money was packed in a shoe
box and left with Hauptmann, unwit-
ting of its contents. when Fisch sailed
for Germany, he asserted in an inter-
view:
II cannot bring myself to believe
that Isador actually kidnapped the
Lindbergh baby"
Uhlig and Fisch lived together in a
rooming house from 1927 until early
in 1882.
Fisch Stayed Home.

I don't remember the exact date, but
I'm sure it was well before the Lind

queerly. He was irritable and avoided
company as much as possible.
He was supposed to be in the tur

he was some kind of broker. But he
was a funny business man. He had
no stock, no office, and, as far as
could see, no capital.

Visited Brother.
Uhlig said that in Germany Fisch
visited at the home of his brother,
Pincus.
"Pincus was under the impression
that Isador had an estate in New York
He told me after Isador's death that
he intended coming to New York to
settle his affairs. He was going to
use the unused portion of Isador's
ticket.
"Isador told me also that he had
left will in a safety deposit box he
rented about the middle of 1882 in

New York. thought it odd at the
time that he should need the box,
