Chromite Ore Major
Project at Mine School

Graduates from ten colleges from
three nations and states of the United
States are assembled at Montana School
of Mines this year in program Of post
graduate study which is of great i'm
portance to Montana
Montana chromite deposits are be-
coming more important hourly as the
scare generated by tie Ttalo- Ethiopian
warfare causes restless world to look
to their ornaments. and are The subject
OF four different investigations by grad
yates of Montana School Of Mines, the
University of Washington, South
Dakota School of Mines. and Montana
State College.
Significant deposits Of chronite ore
are known to occur in south central
Montana, in Sweet Grass, Saltwater
and Carbon counties.
The first discoveries and also the
largest at that time in the world and
also the most accessible deposits were
located in March, 1918, by Charles
Blakeley, Thomas Rowland and Oscar
w. Miller on the Boulder river in Sweet
Grass county. The following April.
Oscar v. Miller discovered the largest
and richest deposit in chromite con-
tent. These deposits are fully described
in Bulletin on Chrome Deposits in
Montana by Prof. Chas. Clapp and
Prof. Pardee.
These deposits drew the attention of
engineers from the world over, as
chromium was a very necessary metal
during the world war at that time.
Thirty days after the discoveries
made by Blakely, Rowlands and Miller.
they sold out the Bonanza group of
claims to the Boulder River Chrome Co.
for $5O,000O0 and later the M. & r..
group to D. c. Jacklin interests for
SITE, 10000, represented at that time by
J. l.. Bruce of Butte, Mont.
These deposits had 100000 tons Of ore
in sight; at that time worth 5000 per
ton. They were worked during the war
under the management Of Oscar ".
Miller and steady shipments made to
Pittsburgh and to the Colorado Fuel
& Iron Co, Pueblo, Colo.
| At the close Of the world war, Shelby
II. Gish, cousin of the famous screen
stars, Lillian and Dorothy Gish took
over all these holdings and consolidated
them unoder a Delaware corporation
now called the u. S. Chrome Co.
The French government has large
deposit In Rhodesia, Africa, that ii
mined and still is mining with convict
labor which enabled them to pat
chromium on the market far cheaper
than the Montana deposits could; hence
these deposits have been idle ever
Since.
1t may be Of interest to Libby people
to know that on Rainy creek-where
Zonolite and Vermiculite Mountain h
llocated-that that mountain contains
|identically the same formations as am
found in the chromium district q south
central Montana While visiting the
Rainy Creek district in 1892, Mile,
found several nice specimens Of chrom-
lite and mariposite. The latter Is q sill

Important News
For Unemployed

The following information will be of
intrest to unemployed persons In Lin
coin county. 1t is given out by D. O..
Mount, Lincoln county representative
Of the employment service. Mr.. Mount
says:
'The 1885 appropriation under which
most of the projects in our state are not
operating, gives certain preference to
relief recipients registered with the
National Unemployment Service. If
certified relief recipients originally
registered with the National Reemploy-
ment Service as common or unskilled
workers, who are experienced and
qualified in some skilled trade such as
building or highway construction work,
they should again contact the National
Unemployment Service office in which
they originally registered and show
their proper classification. BY so doing,
the National Unemployment Service
can then assign them as skilled labor
er, paying larger salary than COM
mon or unskilled laborer, and again,
their chance Of securing employment
as a skilled worker is far greater than
being assigned as urskilled workmen.
"Any resident Of Montana unem-
ployed and seeking employment, who is
not relief recipient, should register
with the closest unemployment office
and give to the person taking his reg
istration all information he has avail
able in order that he may be assigned
in filling some requisition for skilled
worlmen.
The National Unemployment Service
does not deal exclusively with relief
status persons. Certain acquisitions in
connection with the present Work Re-
lief program specify relief recipients,
who have preference. We secure or
ders from all types Of employers, pub
lie and private, and apply special relief
preferences only as ordered by the
employing agency Our regular and
ordinary work is by no means based
on relief referrals, even though much

nection with the Work Relief program

PLANE TO HUNT
0PH|R'SG0LD

WILMINGTON, Feb. 20.-An
airplane is being fitted out at the
Bellanco Corporation here to be
used in exploiting King Solomon'S
gold mines in Ophir, at the tip OF
the Arabian peninsula.
The plane, formerly owned by
Wallace Beery. film star, Is being
equipped with slots for cameras to
be used in taking aerial photo
graphs. When it is finished it will
be shipped to New York and then
to Egypt.
The plane was purchased by
the American Smelling and Refin-
ing Company, of New York, which
together with British mining in.
terests has concessions in Arabia
over an area Of about 800 miles.
In that area are the mines which
supplied King Solomon with fabu-
lous treasures. Mining experts,
who have examined the claims, say
that the crude mining Of Solo
mons day extracted only SO per
cent of the gold from shale.
With modern apparatus it Is
hoped more of this gold can be re-
claimed.
Executives Of the company will
use the plane for transportation
over the wide area as well as for
Photographic purposes.

MEANINGS

GnSper all your bonus questions.
What do you tD1nt to knotO
about your adjusted SerUice Ger
titicdte? Any loans? Lost It.?
HoU do you apply for your "oaby
bonds?
Address a letter to the Bonus
Editor, Washington Times, Wash
ington, D. c., enclosing stamped,
Selt-nddreSSed envelope for reply.
By THE BONUS EDITOR
How should I go about getting
my bonus?
Many veterans, writing for in
formation to the Bonus Editor Of
The Washington Times, have
asked that question.
Sometimes it cannot be an
swered, unless the veteran sends
further information. This is the
case when the veteran merely
mentions that he desires his
"bonus," but does not explain
what action he has taken hitherto.
Several Meanings
The word bonus" is applicable
to several things, including the
adjusted-Service certificates, the
$50 grants given at the end of
the World War, the forthcoming
"baby bonds" and outright gifts
to veterans voted by several States,
such as Massachusetts,.
When asking about the proce-
dure Of obtaining a "bonuS," a
veteran should inform the Bonus
Editor as to what he means. II
he does not understand the sub
ject thoroughly-if that were the
case he would not ask questions
he should explain as clearly as
possible what he has in mind.
In general the following holds
good:
l. If the veteran has never
applied for an adjusted-service-
certificate, he must obtain one
before he can apply for "baby
bonds.
To Branch Office
2. If he has had q certificate,
but borrowed against it at a
branch of the Veterans Admins
tration, he should send his ap-
plication for baby bonds, to-
gether with the receipts for his
loan or loans ("pink slipS') to
the branch office from which he
borrowed.
3. If the loan was obtained
from a bank, the veteran should
send his baby bond" application,
together with pink slips, to the
headquarters of the Veterans Ad-
ministration, Washington, D. c. .
4. If he has never borrowed
against his certificate, he should
send it, accompanied by q bond
application, to the Washington
headquarters.
