Communication From Federal

Juneau. March, - Stew art Mcdonald, the Federal Housing Administrator has just announced than an ag- rcement has been reached with the REC Mortgage Co. by which the latter will furnish the facilities of a mortgage discount bank for the purpose of purchas ing mortgages given for new construction and insur cd by the Federal Housing Administration, it was an- nounced by John E Pegues Territorial director of the Fed Housing Adm.
 Tt is the desire of the Roosevelt Administration that new residential con- struction be VitaliZed and pushed 10 meet the needs of the country, and at the same time accomplished on q sound financial basis, " Administrator Mcdonald said in making the amour cement.
 "The effect of this agree mcnt is tantamount to the establishment of a national mortgage association or a mortgage discount bank for mortgages on new home con Struction.

FHA's insured mortgages, new capital will flow into the mortgage field in in- creasing volume to meet the anticipated upward trend in new home construction.
 Tn view of the fact that the average value of mort gages insured by the Fed eral Housing Administra- ton is about S4,000, it is obvious that this will be a boon to those in the low income brackets who de- sire to buy homes for a small down payment and for monthly payments as low as rent and in some cases lower, under the long CT term single mortgage plan of the Federal Hous- ing Administration"

In fact, December showed the big gest rate of residential con- struction during that same month since 1880.

Outside Responsibility.

Disappointment over the District
budget-making machinery, which
forces the estimates of the department
heads through four major bodies be-
fore final action is taken by Congress,
was voiced by Health Officer George
c. Rutland in a talk yesterday before
the Junior Board of Commerce.
The record Of past years, he said,
reveals how the original estimates
have been slashed by the Commission
ers, the Budget Bureau and by Ap-
preparations subcommittee of the
House and Senate.
While accepting the point that the
Commissioners must consider their
total budget proposals In the light OF
expected revenues, DR.. Rutland ex-
pressed the view 1t was unfortunate
that persons not having direct re-
sponsibility for operation of the Dis
trict government have hand in Its
financial affairs.
He spoke in justification of requests
he has placed before the Commission
ers for 1898 budget totaling S1,ll7,-
900, or more than double the amount
appropriated for this year. Included
in his estimates is an item Of $500, ,001
for construction of two new health
centers, which would provide new
clinics for major communicable dis
eases. This item makes up most Of the
requested increase he seeks.

it is natural, the German language
was Immediately replaced by the
Czech language in Prague and the
other Czech and Slovak cities in the
country. But in the regions where
the Germans had an overwhelming
majority about 95 per cent-the
Czech government tried to de-
nationalize that population. Because
the Germans were considered ''un-
reliable" Czech officials were sent to
the German districts. In famous
spas like Marienbad and Karlsbad (in-
cidentally. if you forget that the new
name of that world-famous resort Is
now Karlovy, vary you are out of luck.
Your letter or telegram will be re-
turned to you with the notice that the
place Is not known) the German own
ers of big establishments were slowly
squeezed out by the government.
Their properties were eventually pur-
chased by Czechoslovaks.
Chemical Factories Moved.
Important chemical factories. which
were situated In German Bohemia,
were moved into Czech districts be-
cause lit was against national secur-
ity" to have them SO close to the Ger
man border. incidentally, that de-
prived tens Of thousands of German
citizens Of Czechoslovakia of employ
ment.
In all official or private institutions
or business concerns the Czechs were
given priority. This explains why
there are so many more German un-
employed. The official figures show
that among the Germans unemploy-
ment has reached 1863 per thousand
inhabitants, while among the Czechs
and the Slovaks the unemployment
figure is shown to be only 283 per
thousand.
And the Czechs seem to dislike
genuinely their fellow citizens of Ger
man origin. I believe that there are
not 10 people in every thousand in
Prague who don't know the German
language. Yet when you address
them in German they will pretend
will say something in Czech. I was
told that my observation was not cor
rect. So spoke many dozen times
to policemen, taxi drivers, post Office
employees in English. then in French.
When they realized that I was for
eigner they asked me in good German
whether I spoke that language. In
many stores there will be signs in
Czech and in French, and Heaven
knows that the poor employees are
making desperate efforts to say a few
words in that last language, complete
ly alien to them.
Tension Is Natural.
1t is natural that under the cir
cumstances there should be tension
between the ruling population and
the minority element. At one time
there was quite a feeling among the
German Czechs who are settled close
to the German border that it would
be better if they were annexed to the
Reich. Hans Henlein, a former in
structor of gymnastics. organized his
fellow citizens in political group to
fight for separation. But that group
gained SO much power in the last two
years that 1t appears to the leader
now that the German population
could obtain its rights without sep
aration. Henlein is advocating a can
tonal system as in Switzerland. The
Czech government will not hear of it,
but, realizing the double menace of

INTEREST IN COBALT

Discovery of an important de-
posit OF cobalt by Scott Brothers
south of Butte calls attention to
the growing Importance of cobalt
in hardening steel, and it's ready
recovery through flotation. Add
tional deposits will doubtless be
found in Montana.
Cobalt, silver-white metal, was
first produced in 1898, in magnetic
condition, from metorites. Combin-
ed, cobalt in association with anti
mony, bismuth, copper, iron, man
ganese and nickel. Practically all
cobalt ores are arsenical. Some
times it is found as cobalt oxide,
cobalt suIphide.
In searching for cobalt 1t is well
to remember that when it is heat
ed with borax it forms very deep
blue bead.

BRIGHT FUTURE
PROMISED BASIN
GOLDFIELDS, It'd.

Basin Goldfields, Limited, oper-
ating in the Pole Mountain district,
near Basin, Jefferson County, again
came into the limelight by ship
ping its second $4,000 car Of Gold
ore within six weeks, most OF this
ore coming from development work.
The company was organized in
1888 by its present officers and the
late Colonel A. p. Peake, original
organizer OF the Butte 81 Superior
Mining company, which paid some
S19, 100000 in dividends. 1t was
the first company in Montana to
register with what Is now the Sc
curities & Exchange Commission
at Washington, ID. G.. under the
Federal Securities Act Of 1888, its
prospectus having been recently
amended. II also was the first
company to become a member OF
the Gold Mining Association OF
America, which now is headed by
former governor aud United States
Senator Tasker L. Oddie OF Nevada.
It's properties are located about
a mile northwest of and in the
same formation as the Hope and
Katie properties, which in 1924 pro-
duced some $4,000 in gold in
less than six months from one ore
shoot. Basin Goldfields is opened
by several tunnels and wines and
besides encountering substantial
amount of high grade ore, has also
a sizable tonnage on
milling ore.
The company has made arrange
ments with a group of New York
City financiers to furnish additional
capital to equip the mine with mod
ern, electrically driven machinery
and when deveIopmen ts warrant to
also furnish a mill. For the last
few years, the company has sup
ported it's operations almost wholly
from shipments, there being few
nowadays with such
record In May the company ship
ped a car containing 81 tons,
which assayed Pa ounces of gold
per ton, with net smelter return
of $4,000 for the car. In June

assayed three ounces Of gold per ton
and netted better than $4,000.

TUNNEL FACE
AVERAGES a.
CALLAHAN

Golden Age Mining company op-
Grating the old Callahan mine above
Jefferson city. has opened up an
ore vein that is wider than the
tunnel and averages $25 per ton
across the face. according to Jas.
LaFountain, veteran mine operator
and organizer OF this company.
There is a high grade streak two
feet wide on the hanging wall side
that runs from $3.50 10 $500. It is
so rich that it has been shipped to
the smelter rather than run
through the mill.
Working only on development
work. without stopping, the crews
have been able to knock down more
ore than the mill can handle, grind
ing 35 tons per day. The mill was
shut down owing to trouble with a
Diesel motor. 1t has been dis
placed by a gasoline burning motor
and preparations are being made to
bring in a power line a distance OF
about six miles.
In IL days previous TO the shut
down occasioned by motor failure,
the mill turned out $4,000, bettering
its previous record OF $4,000 in
1914 days.
This company Is capitalized at
$4,000 with one-cent par value
stock. The price Of this stock has
steadily advanced until now it is
being traded at between Is and 20
cents per share with a top price Of
25 cents reported, tempting the
owners Of the original stock issue
to take quick profit Of from 1900
to $500 per cent. The mine was
