Bu9tneSs, labor and government have urged to cooperate. A more cOnciliatory attitude has developed from Washington towards "Bie Business" and there were hopes this would turn tn etide.
 For the first half of the year things were booming. Thousands of workers were on the payrOils- in some instances more employees than even in the peak years of 1o20 and 1e20--and company profits were mounting despite the continued inroads' made by higher operating costs. Labor became more active particularly as the Committee for Industrial Organization swung into vigorous strength especially in the automobile and steel industries Strikes were numerous and costly to some motor and steel companies and these cut into profit margins as did the higher wages the strikes brought.
 Electricity Output . Record
 As q result of the early activity bank clearings for the year will reach the highest level since 1930; carloadings the highest since 1880; construction contracts the highest since ie30; steel ingot output the greatest since 1929; automobile production the greatest since 1929; electric power production at Q rec ord: crude oil output at a record; bituminous coal output the best since 1880; paint sales the best since 1929; lumber output the best since 1880.

November 6-Soldiers and trucks continue to pass the hospital oll night. Aside from that, we do not know what is happening, and so we wait.
 November 7-At noon we got word that we must pack. A truck (from no one knows where) took three loads of refugees to Shanghai. We brought ell valuable hos- pital supplies over to the convent and stored them upstairs. We worked late into the night and only took time of to listen to the 10 p. m. radio broadcast, which brought the news that the Japanese are coming around Siccawei and therefore closer to us.
 Fire On Soldiers
 November 8-We received note from MT. Loh saying that trucks would be out today to take the fe- male patients and us to St. JoSeph's. But we waited all day.
 "At 2 p. m. Japanese airplanes fired continually on the soldiers who were walking from Shanghai. We could not go outside all afternoon, although firing was directed at the hospital. About 300 Chinese soldiers sought helter against our wall and the machine-gun firing from the airplanes killed many on the road.
 November e-we flew out of bed at 2 @. m. when bomb exploded di- rectly across from the hospital; ma chine-gun firing started and never stopped until this morning. We feel that again you tthe Maryknoll Sisters at Ossining) must nave prayed for us very much, because we cannot understanding how the planes missed our hospital at night. The planes are using powerful lights which tllumine the entire compound for about ten minutes. Two sis- ters went to the paviiions to sleep so that the night sisters would not be alone with our poor patients. The water situation looks very serious.
 "This Awful Silence"
 november li-It is very quiet this morning. We would rather have a little noise than this awful silence.
 November 12-With this war around us, we almost forgot that it was Armistice Day yesterday. Our day began at 2:30 a. rl., when U seemed war started right at our back door. All the sisters and nurses went on the floors so that in case the fighting came closer we would all be with the patients. Father gave up Holy Communion at 0:SO.
 when the firing stopped; about 7:3O, we had mass.
 "Noyember l2-This afternoon Q Japanese commando: visited the hospital. He brought flowers from MT. Lohs garden for the wounded soldiers. We have about nity soldiers now. Some of them are farmers who were sho. by their own neighbors. We again asked to pc allowed to go out and bury the sol. diers and to look for wounded, put he refused, and said they had been taken care of.

Mountain View

Going up north from Garnet for about 9
half mile one reaches the mill Of the Noun
tain View mine which was erected m lss4-
1885 BY some leasers. to mill some ore from
this mine, located some 1000 feet above the
mill
The Mountain view mine was located By
W p Simpler. In 1908, and he opened some
rich shoots Of high grade, from which he
shipped several hundred tons averaging over
200 ounces in gold.
To ret 4 better idea Of the ore veins Of
this mine and OF the camp, we win take
look at the general geology and formation Of
the mineral basin around Garnet. The for
nation TO the south end OF Garnet Is mostly
quartzite with q general strike northwest to
southeast. This Is along 8 granite contact
which more or less surrounds the vicinity OF
Garnet mineral belt. The vein system Of
the Grant and Hartford Is parallel 70 this
belt contact OF granite. When one stands
on the ridge over the outcrop OF the Noun
tain View mine. and looks southwark. he can
trace the course Of this large ore zone
which follows the ridge along this granite
contact.
The Mountain View mine comprises four
veins like the Grant and Hartfort mine. This
zone Of veins crosses several good promising
properties adjoining the Mountain View mine
on the southeast and northwest sides.
The Mountain View mine has six claims and
four veins have been developed or proven
The Mountain View vein has been developed
By a 400 foot crosscut tunnel, then drifting
for $50 feet to the east, and several hundred
feet TO the west to reach the ore shoots de-
veloped by Mr.. Simpler In his original opera
ton Of the mine. An incline shaft and shall
low drift some 20 feet below the outcrop
produced q large amount OF high grade gold
ore. This shallow development Is. about 1Ss
feet above the Mountain View tunnel and
main crosScut.
The White Tall vein has been developed By
a short drift disclosing some very good ore.
with values in gold The vein is parallel with
the Mountain View vein, but south OF tins
latter. Between these two veins there ara
two other undeveloped veins, but proven By
many open cuts.
The geology Of the Mountain View mine is
very simple and easy TO follow for any ex-
perienced miner. The vein Is q contact be-
tween the granite which forms the foot wan
Of the vein and the quartzite porphyry which
forms the hanging wall. In places the grants
foot wall has been altered and forms a min
eralzed zone along the side OF the vein.
particularly where the vein has been fault

Of the vein, and the displacement is usually

operators shipped considerable tonnage Of gold
copper ore with very fine results, the ore
shipped being mostly oxidzed ore carrying
high value in gold as well as silver and cop
per This property is well managed and
should become a great producer, as II has
already a very good start. The mine is about
nine miles west Of Garnet.
Going up the Garnet road from Beartown
over China grade one climbs TO high alti-
tude over a good mountain road, over which
thousands Of tons OF high grade ore has been
shipped out OF the mines Of Garnet About
three or four miles from town. we go over
the grade known as Hundred Dollar Hill. It
was named after a wager between team
sters about their teams making the grade
without stop The man who wagered that he
could make It won the bet. This hill does not
mean much in our days to modern trucks and
autos
Up the grade are several prospects undo
veloped few miles further. about two miles,
we reach the mines OF the Musigbrod estate.
There are various groups Of claims, the
principal claims being the Fourth Of July
group, Crescent group, and Lead King group.

Of high grade gold are the Grant and the
Boarding House Tunnel. The upper levels
or tunnels, like the Grant, were worked in
the early days and much ore was mined. It is
free gold ore In 1907 the well known mining
operator. the late Colonel Peak, operatet
the Boarding House Tunnel and shipped ore
netting over 100000 per car Of % 70 80
tons, with high freighting and smelter
charges. The ore was averaging around $4,000
per ton gross, and the gold was only about
s12.O0 or $500 an ounce then
At the present the ore mined and shipped
averages about $500 per ton. However, much
ore Is left as COB. The ore is chiefly pyrtte
and telluride, with a little galena, in quartz,
a granite contact. There are several parallel
veins. The Grant and Hartford vein system
has been traced clear across the camp and
goes through the Mountain View and other
claims. The strike Of the vein system is
Observation-Disclosures. This mine has been in
tensively developed by the present leasers,
Taylor and Courtney who are producing
about carload Of ore per week, some times
more. They have a fairly large crew Of men
working steadily.
This mine has q large amount Of min rock
in the upper worked-out levels, and a mill
should be Installed after proper tests are
made on the ore. Cyanide seems to be the
logical method to mill this ore, to eliminate
freight cost, but probably fine grinding would
be required, to handle successfully the tell
urite sulpfhides present.
This mine has a known production Of over
$3.50 10000 in gold ore, all shipping ore. The
Taylor-Courtney production is high but no
figures are available from the leasers at the
present. The lease has been in operation for
several years, the cars shipped running well
over $4,000 per car gross
Right In the town Of Garnet there are sew
eral mines OF great possibilities and are
worthwhile for investment and operators to
investigate such properties Several proper
ties have been developed and have produced
a considerable amount OF gold ore.

Lead King Mine

The Lead King mine adjoining the Crescent
and further upstream toward Garnet, Is pro-
ducing gold ore, from the lease under the
operation Of Mcdonald and associates snip-
ping car of high grade every two weeks
The ore is mined from the main lower
tunnel from which raises and slopes have
been driven, the vein averages about Tour
feet wide with good walls IN the quaftAte
and andesite formation. The ore shipped aver
ages 10 ounces in gold. The leasers have
crew Of men working two shifts. This mine
has been good producer in the early days
and Is still q good mine. Like the other mines
of this group no deep DEVELOPMENT has been
done This mine was located in the SOS.
The White Cloud mine Is also being worked
by leasers and they are producing some
shipping ore which runs about three-iourtns
Of an ounce in gold. with some silver values
The Muslgbrod has been worked by leasers
for some time However, 1t should be under
main organization with sufficient capital
to acquire the entire ground, under a bono

Later on there won't be any more ore lot
leasers to work on, and either milling Wiil

The old mill needs to be remodeled and
the equipment either repaired or replaced 70
bring the mill TO date. The milling was never
successful there because Of lack Of an ex-
perienced metallurgist to understand the
treatment Of this ore. The old mill has
crusher stamps and ball mill, tables and
flotation but things have been mess In that
mill as there was never anyone In fun charge
who knew anything about ore dressing. The
estate is held by @ German syndicate rep

was available. this property could be had

An interesting fact came to the at
tention of the writer In the season OF
I9S4-1935. A family was placer mining:
the whole family was working. Tie men
mined the gravel and the women and
children helped washing the gravel. They
were farming folks who had lost every
thing. but they made good, and In the
spring Of 1895 they not only improved the
cabins they were living in, bat erected
two new ones, and bought new cars ana
a truck. This is an example of what mines
OF Montana can do for our people, II they
want to work They can make II pay as
wen as the old-timers did and easier as
We have at our command good roads now,
and motive power, and many other mod
ern facilities that the Old-timers never
had.
Just before reaching the ruins OF Beartown
where only the rotten logs Of two old cab
fms are left, we reach on the left side Of the
road the Sawmill guleh road which leads to-
ward the Copper Cliff mine about six miles
upstream. This property has produced good
deal Of high grade copper-gold ore.
The Copper Cnff was originally discovered
by W. p Simpler Of Garnet, q western pio-
neer and miner, who lives in Garnet now and
who saw the camp grow up. He discovered
this mine in 1891 and mined s70,0oo00 worth

The Homestake group. also in the town Of
Garnet is being operated. This property has
five patented claims and produced some high
grade ore in the early days Of the camp. It
is now operated by leasers who are shipping
silver.
Several other properties there in Garnet
are idle, waiting for capital. Several have
been developed by shallow shafts and mill
