Negro Papers, Labor,
Support Court Reform
0arusader Now Agencyl

(CTu8aQeF NEWS Agency
Labor spokesman and several of
the most influential Negro news
papers in the country rallied this
weak to the support Of President
Roosevelt's plans to reform the
United States Supreme Court as
Liberty Leagures ana other react
ionaries opened a barrage Of hyst-
erical attacks on the Presidents
proposals to add new blood to the
present aggregation Of nine dod-
dering old men.
The ST. Louis Argus hailed the
Presidents plan as "a progressive
move and pointed out that "the
Court as now constituted has lit
tie respect for the rights Of Negro
es as citizens" The paper recalled
that the Court has with one or two
exceptions consistently lodged the
question of the fundamental rights
Of Negroes in It's decision, includ-
ing the question OF jim-crowism on
public carriers in the South. Most
assuredly," the paper concludes
we cannot think, we cannot con
template, that the Negroes case,
SO far as citizens rights are con-
cerned, can possibly be in worse
hands than in the past"
The powerful Baltimore Afro.

retention Of their posts by the
Supreme Court Justices after they

the issue cut a sharp cleavage be-

LEFT-HANDERS
 HARD ON TANKS

NEW YORK, Aug. 6.-People who are decidedly not on the Yankee social list and who can expect no invitation to any Stadium func- tions, are the left-handers who have done more than their share this season to make the pennant road of the champions rocky and stormy
 Last year no inconsequental item to the nineteen and one-half game romp of the Tanks was their feat of beating the portsiders twenty six times in thirty-six games.
 This season, however, up to ap- proximately the halfway mark, the Isouthpaw flippers have gone along at an even-Steven pace against the fence busters from New York, win ming nine and losing an equal num- Der.
 Most obnoxious of the left-hand fraternity have been Whistlin' Jake Wade of the Tigers and Thornton Lee of the White Sox who, between them, have been responsible for more than one quarter of the de- feats appearing in the Yankees lost" column.

DOUGLAS FIRE DEPARTMENT IN
 MONTHLY MEET

More than thirty members of the Douglas Fire Department were pres ent at the regular monthly meeting and social which was held last eve- ming. Claude Erskine, president of the organization, presided over the session.
 Chief Hachmeister reported that various trials had been made of the equipment on hand to test it thor oughly and gain familiarity. Great success was reported experienced with the pumping apparatus. u was established that there is suffic- tent amount of water in all parts 'of town to fight fires.
 Relative to the fire siren, which was considered not loud enough, Arne Shudshift suggested changing the pitch, and stated that Hach- meister, Alex Gair and himself would attempt the adjustment to increase the volume of power. Fire Thursday Assistant truck driver Degan re- ported on the fire alarm at 1;30 Thursday afternoon. The call was made to extinguish a chimney fire at the home of Ed Martinsen on Second Street. The danger was over when the firemen arrived. A line of booster hose was laid but was not used.
 Ex-Chief Pusich reported receipt by him of some bills for supplies ordered last March which should have been paid before. Trustees were ordered to look into the mat ter.
 The care and protection of equip ment was the subject of much dis cussion. Some infractions, which shall be avoided in the future, were noted.

FINDING QUARTZ MINES

In looking for gold deposits. vein
OF lode outcrops are sought and
when found are examined for gold
bearing material. Portions OF the
veins have been erOded away; on
steep hills part of the outcrops may
have broken off and rolled down
the hillside. Mineral bearing frag-
ments OF vein materials are called
float. Many deposits have been
found by tracing float to its source.
In prospecting, a lookout always is
kept for such material. Float in
the gravels of large streams may
have come from many miles distant.
In such instances the presence Of
the float indicates only that the
go1i bearing material exists in the
watershed above. Where float is
found on a hillside the fragments
are sought upward until no more
are found If the surface is COW
cred with overburden, trenching will
be necessary to disclose the lead.
Lodes also may be located by pam
ming loose material below for free
gold. Placers are formed from dds
migration of rock containing gold.
Montana oil and mining journal. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1931-1953, 1937-02-13

During the ages gold lodes are
eroded away at the surface, the
gold bearing rock Is ground TO
powder, and the gold is concen-
trated in stream beds or desert
deposits. The gold of rich placers
however, may have come from a
multitude Of narrow or low grade
streaks that could not be worked
at profit The presence of placer
gold in a stream bed indicates that
the region above contains or has
contained lode gold. In seeking
for lodes in such a region the
gravel of stream beds or debris
of dry washes is PANIED to trace
the gold to its source If the gold
suddenly plays out in the main
watercOurse. attention is then di-
rect d to the side gulches, which
in turn are followed up until no
more placer gold is found. The
debris on the mountainsides is then
PANIED and the gold traced to its
source At this stage of prospect
ing float in the averburden may
help in the search or be the key
to the source of the gold

OH For CaIifOrnians

One other phase enters into this
problem of outlet for Montana
crude. California has not been sue
cessful in finding oil in quantities
in keeping with the present rate OF
production. In that state there are
many large refineries serving the
western part of this country. They
are looking to the Rocky Mountain
region for fresh supplies OF crude
oil. 1t is the nearest area in which
there is possibility of satisfying the
demand. If eastern refineries also
need additional crude there will be
created a rivalry between the two
great refinery centers and where
there is Likelihood of competition for
any product the producer of that
product is in a favorable position
concerning future economic condi-
tions.
Is Logical Conclusion
It is admitted that these facts
are all based upon certain assump-
tions and no major company has
as yet indicated intentions to enter
the northern Montana oil fields in
big way. But the producers there
have the satisfaction of knowing
that their oil is available and there
are good areas to prospect and de
velop and with every other part Of
this country becoming more and
more difficult to prospect and 10
cate adequate new oil fields it
seems only logical to assume some
one will go after the oil where it
is now known to exist so the future
for northern Montana is. to say the
least, promising.
