MINING IN MONTANA SHOWING STEADY
GAIN, SAYS CARL TRAUERMAN


There are now 300 small mine
operators in Montana, which is about
900 more than there we're three years
ago, and without further legislative
hindrance they will contribute great
ly to the prosperity of this state for
many years to come, Carl j. Trauer-
man told a radio audience in a talk
over station KGIR. Trauerman is
president of the Mining Association
of Montana and he reviewed the
present status of mining in Montana.
I'm the old frontier days when all
of VI metal deposits were virgin,
many were the romances connected
with the mining of high grade
deposits, fortunes made on a shoe
string by men of brains and cour-
age" he said. ut was thought for
a time that such adventures were
things of the past, but the rs per
cent advance in the price of gold
has made new frontiers in Montana
and elsewhere and romance in fl
nance and accomplishment in our
mines is being re-enaeted to conform
to the standards of this day and age,
by men who have the same stamina
as had our pioneer prospectors.
There are a number of high points
in mining developments in a number
of Montana districts, although it is
little realized by the ordinary citizen
that great developments have taken
place in most of the mining counties
of this state.
Manganese Outlook
From a standpoint of money pro
duction, Silver Bow County, a:

of copper, lead, zinc and silver

ming a very close second. So far al
is known, there are no greater de
posits of manganese in the entire
world than are centered in Silvel
Bow County and in spite Of adverse
tariffs, we again venture the predic
ton that Butte, some time in the FIJI
ture, will produce more pounds O.
manganese per year than it ever ha.
produced copper. Butte can pro
duce the highest grade of Manganese
concentrate ever known, its metal
lurgists have proven that statemen
and it remains for someone will
energy, business ability and fore
sight to do for Butte's Manganese
deposits what the key members O.
the American Metal Co. did for Col
orado's molybdenum deposits.
Chromium Deposits
And while we are talking of stee
alloys, we should not overlook tht
fact that Montana has the 1arges
deposits of chrome ore in the Unitet
States, these deposits being located
in Carbon, Saltwater, Sweetgras
and Madison counties. One com
pany has been pioneering in devel
oping these deposits, the principa
problem being to make a concen
trate that can compete with the pro
ducts being shipped in from foreign
countries. In the future all stee
will be rustless and chromium is thu
basis of rustless steel. The future
of chromium is SO alluring that W.
cannot adequately express the out
look in words.
Vermiculite Deposits
This state also has another earth
mineral which holds forth much at
traction for men of commercial abil
ity. This is known as vermiculite,
kind of mica, or asbestos, which i
found and is being developed in thu
northwestern portion of Montana
When roasted this mineral takes OF

wine IN THE KITCHEN
WHY THE EASTER EGG?

Just as the kiddies delight in the
coming of Santa at Christmas, SO
they do anticipate the bunny and
brightly colored eggs symbolic of
Eastertide. And as with the origin
of the Christmas Tree custom, the
bunny and colored eggs as Easter
traditions are supposed to have orig
mated in the Teutonic countries.
But that well known succulent
morsel, the hens egg, is not only
marvelously good to eat, whether it
be in the form of Mere Poulard's
Bretonne omelette, souffle, or just
boiled egg. The humble egg, if you
please, was M of the most treas
ured of religious symbols dating
from the earliest days.
The Persians thought that the
world has originally been Matched
from an egg at the vernal equinox
or spring of the year. The ancients
regarded the egg as a symbol of
| creation and new birth. The break
ing of the egg was supposed to de-
note the beginning of a new season,
a resurrection and awakening of life.
Consequently in church lore the
Paschal egg has become symbolic of
the resurrection of Christ. The word
"Paschal' stems from the Hebraic
Passover" a holiday commemor-
ating the exodus of the Jews from
Egypt and their crossing of the Red
Sea.
Besides its popularity as a symbol
of Easter, there is another important
reason why the housewife should
serve more eggs at this time of year.
The egg is the equivalent in nutri-
ton of meat, and yet at this season
is about half as expensive. So, la
dies, dress up the egg with some
tasty sauce and remove it from the
breakfast menu to the lunch or din
ner table. You will find that wines,
either the refreshingly tart dry or
rich sweet wines, will blend equally
well with the bland tasting egg, as
in these easy-to-make and quick
one-dish meals:
Shirred Eggs With Tomato
Wine Sauce
Bake eggs in a buttered dish or in
dividual dishes topped with buttered
bread crumbs. Serve with this sauce:
3 tbs. butter slightly Drowned and
blended with 8 tb. flour
"a cup Madeira
l cup tomato juice
u cup soup stock
Seasoning Y tsp. mixed spices
l slice lemon.
Add tomato juice and soup stock
to flour paste. Season with spices
and onion. Cook until sauce boils,
stirring constantly. Then add Ma
deira. Bring to a boil, strain and
serve.
Egg and Ham King
3 tbs. butter
l tsp. minced onion
2 tbs. minced green pepper
8 tbs. flour
l pimento sliced
1 tbs. Sherry
2 cups milk
Y cup diced cooked ham
4 hard cooked eggs sliced
"a tsp. salt
Dash of cayenne
slices toast.
Saute minced onion and pepper in
butter in a double boiler for 5 min
utes, stirring the while. Add flour
and stir until smooth. Add the milk.
Now reduce the heat and stir until
smooth and thickened. Add diced
cooked ham and sliced eggs. Taste
and add the amount of salt and cay
enne liked, with the pimento. Now
let heat well and season with Sherry.
Serve on toast points.

by Governor Benson at the prison

by Governor Benson at the prison
recently.
The Governor slipped out of a
meeting of the state board of par
dons held at the prison and appeared
unheralded in the prison mess room
during the MONDAY meal. He said
he wanted to see at first-hand how
the prison inmates lived. During this
visit he observed that the silence sys-
tenn is still in use during morning and
evening meals; that only small slice
of butter is served to prisoners once
or twice a week; that milk is seldom
served to inmates; that no fish is
served on Fridays or any other provis-
ions made for religious observances
of prisoners, and that neither sugar
nor cream is ever served with coffee
| The Governor Immediately followed
this up with recommendations to the
state board of control for abolish
ing the silence system which in re-
cent years had been modified but
not abolished; improvement in the
diet for prisoners, particularly an in
crease in the amount of butter and
milk served, and also the establish
ment of prison camps for first Of
| tenders, young prisoners and those
charged with crimes not of serious
nature, where prisoners can work on
forestry and other conservation pro-
jects not under the custody of armed
guards.
1T seems to me-" the Governor
wrote to the board of control, "that
this would be an encouragement to
these younger men and be a better
influence for rehabilitation and char
acter building than the present
methods of combining them behind
prison walls"
The board of control readily agreed
that the Governors proposal had
merit and would be inducive to bet
ter prison morale and discipline. The
recommendations, the board prom
ised, would be carried out imme-
diately.
Il cannot believe that conditions
under which many University en-
ployes receive as low as S75 a month
should be viewed without concern
in the face of the generally recog-
nized social need Of building mass
purchasing power among our peo-
pie by increasing the wages and in
come of lower-paid employees" Gov
ernor Benson wrote Dean Guy STAN
ton Ford, acting president of the
University of Minnesota, last week.
After studying the latest audit OF
University finances made by the state
comptroller in which was revealed a
man with a wife and three children
employed at the "U" for ten years
whose salary has not exceeded 1888
month, the Governor proposed re-
vision of salary schedules with a view
to increase in the lower brackets and
advancement according to seniority
and responsibility of work
State Auditor Stafford King says
that it's all terrible mistake He's
been misunderstood. Even the con-
sentative press in the Twin Cities
has misunderstood him.
King declared that he never asked
for a probe of the accounting of re-
lief funds in Minnesota No, that
was the idea of the Minneapolis Tri-
bune and the ST. Paul Pioneer Press
not his. He wants to drop it, he
