Zonolite Company Will
Construct Mill at Mine

Paul M. Cowan, engineer in charge
of operations here for The Zonolite
company, made flying" trip last
week to Chicago, Detroit and other
cities in more ways than one. He
made the trip by plane and surely
covered the distance with amazing
speed. He started for Libby from
Detroit last Sunday morning at 5
o'clock, had a two-hour lay-over
in Chicago and arrived in Spokane
Sunday night about 6 o'clock. There
he was met by car from Libby
and arrived here by midnight Sun
day night. In other words, he left
Detroit in the morning and was back
in Libby that night.
Mr.. Cowan states the Zonolite
company is now building another ex-
panding unit at the Libby plant
after designs worked out by him and
much more efficient than anything
now in use. Mr. Cowan also states
that construction of new mill will
soon be started at the mine on Rainy
creek. The new mill will just about
double present capacity, it is said

The following item was clipped
from Northwest Mining, magazine

New Linotype of Lotest Design and Much
Other Equipment Installed by The Western News
IMPROVED TYPE FACES
RESULTS IN EASIER
READING

How do you like our new sdress?"
Newspaper styles, like everything
else, change, and today the Western
News presents to its readers a new
type face for better reading.
Legibility and reliability of print
my types has been a point of dis
cussion for many years, and pub
fishers have spent thousands of dol
lars on new body type and head
letters to give the reader clear
and distinct type. There was time
when the blame for tiresome read
ing fell on the eyes or the glasses
used--or the lack of them.
Now it is different. Experts in
design of letters got busy and de-
termined the cause of poor legI-
bility, and showed us how improved
design meant less eye strain.
Several attempts have been made
in the line of improved letter design
and today we have Linotype Excel
sior, considered by many to be the
most legible and easiest read of all
newspaper type.
We thought so-and hence our
new dress.
Linotype Excelsior is the result OF
years of experience in designing
exceptionally readable types. 1t has
deep, generously proportioned count
ers white space between lines of the
letters, and no extreme variation in
thick and thin strokes. Each word
is instantly grasped by the reader,
because letters flow" into one an
other.
The change of type in our news
columns to Linotype Excelsior can
be compared to a new pair of glasses
for the reader. The new type APP
pears much larger and can certainly
be read with far less strain on the
eyes, but in reality it is quite COM
pact and gives fully as many words
to the column as the smaller type
formerly used. An actual compari-
son OF the type size may not convince
the reader that the change is mo-
mentous, but after an hours read.
/ ing his eyes will be convinced.

Glacier-Lead Strikes Large
Vein of Ore-Three Busy

TO BE SHIPPED SOON

A vein of ore at least Is feet wide
has been penetrated by diamond
drill at the Glacier Silver Lead
mine south of Libby, according to a
statement made by Charles Fl.
Godsell mining engineer, in Spo-
kane Monday
1.-THE vein is mineralized with
spots of lead and zinc" said Good
sell, land is of the same character
as the body that yielded good values
in silver and gold. The disclosure
is 700 to 1000 feet below the sur
face. Virgin ground lies Over it.
IF the strike of the vein is north
erly it will mean the presence of
a tremendous tonnage as northerly
is nthe length of the property
and where depth will increase stead
lily for a long distance to point
under the top of the mountain. The
strike is important in the develop
ment of the Glacier Silver-Lead.
THE l5-foot body was entered by
an up hole: The course of the vein
will be followed downward by
drilling two more holes from the
No. 4 level. Also, a crosscut will
be driven from the No, 4 to inter
sect the body. The distance to be
crosscut is not known definitely
but is estimated at 200 feet.

emerged as solid and sas sludge. II
will be assayed as soon as the sludge
dries, probably tomorrow or the

MUCH ACTIVITY IN LIBBY MINES THIS SEASON
Street Lights Shot
Out Saturday Night

Some unknown miscreant staged
wild party Saturday night and
shot out two of the large street
lights. One was at the corner of
Sixth and California, the court house
corner; the other one at the juno
ton of Mineral and Ninth, the high
way junction. Both were large
lights and were completely smashed
by the shots, probably from a re-
volver. Manager Driear of the To-
cal power company says it will cost
the company several dollars to re.
place the lights. 1t is believed the
damage was done about 1870 as
several shots were heard about that
