WASHINGTON, D. c., July 9 =

However, production of those
three classes in 1886 was less than
10 per cent of the annual average

HOBSON TEST
IS DRILLING
MADISON LIN

An early completion into the top
of the Madison lime is expected on
Hobson dome, in Judith Basin
county, by F. E. Hunt who is com
pleting his first deep test after
drilling three wells on the struc-
ture.
Casing has been set on the black
lime of the Ellis formation which
is just above the Madison lime.
Drilling continued for 80 feet in
the black lime which was rather
loose and shattered. SO they filled
the hole with cement up to the shoe
and then drilled 1t out. Since ce-
menting, the crew has made 10 feet
of new hole. Today the bit is work
ing at the top of the hard, flakey
Madison lime at slightly less than
1900 feet. No water has been en-
countered in the last 200 feet.
With fairly good weather, the
Hobson well should be completed
within a week, Mr.. Hunt states.
Good showings Of oil at shallow
depth, also streaks of asphalt in the
lower formations, have encouraged
the drilling of this limestone test.

RICHEST CAR
OF ORE YIELDED
BY LOCAL MINE

While no new mining or milling meth
DDS have been developed in Montana dur
ing the current year. there have been
rather phenomenal ore developments, most
of which went unheralded. At one pro-
perty the gold ore was so rich that a
group of "high graders" were making
a fat living stealing the ore and mixing
It with ore from a supposed lease before
shipping to the smelter They now are
being prosecuted. Perhaps the most
spectacular development was in another
gold mine, which shipped a forty ton
car OF unsorted, crude ore, the returns
therefrOm ranking among the highest
in the worlds history Of gold mining.
Right now there are about 5000 men
working in the camps in Montana, out
side Of Butte. In Butte there are a
number of idle men due to curtaiment.
However II some of our national Sc
curity and tax laws were changed so
that work could be expanded in the nom
competitive metal mines, such as gold
and silver, the outside camps could give
employment 20 great many of the
now unemployed in Butte.
The outlook for the mining industry
In Montana for 1898 depends solely upon
the price of metals and the national and
state tax and security laws; as the
state has plenty of rich mineral deposits
which need only the opening and devel-
Oping to make them productive at a
profit TO both capital and labor.

Following is the Washington dispatch:

WASHINGTON-S Morganthau
indicated today the treasury would
continue to buy newly mined domes-
tic silver at, OF about, the present
price of 77.57 cents an ounce.
Saying the president would issue
a proclamation on the purchase OF
American silver, Morganthau gave a
clear hint that the silver buying
program would not be abandoned.
The presidential proclamation I'M
der which current purchases now
are being made expires Jan. 1.
If the program is being aban-
doned. there would be no need for
an official proclamation.
Morganthau's hint followed ap-
peals on the floor of the senate by
Sens. Pittman, D, New, and King,
D Utah. for continuation of the
domestic silver purchase price.
Sen. Pittman told the senate to-
dav the total bonus" to domestic
silver producers under the prevail
ing treasury price had been $44,-
900, 900 in 8 II years.
He said this amounted to only
100000 a year and added that
if withdrawn it would close many
mines and throw 400, 900 men on re-
lief rolls.
Critics of the silver purchase pro-
gram forget, Pittman said, that, be-
fore the government started pur-
chasing. silver was 25 cents an
ounce and copper, zinc and lead at
1910 ro1,To nriPpa
He charged a concerted news
paper campaign against the silver

Daper owners never complained
against deflation but were now cry
ing out against the threat of infla-
ton.
Pittman warned that abandon
ment of the government price of "
cents for silver woold bring catas-
trophe. He said managers of the
largest mines asserted they could
NOT continue operations If prices
continued to fall for silver, zinc,
lead and copper.

BUTTE YIELDS
MOST SILVER
LEAD, ZINC

About 67es OF the zinc. lead and silver
and nearly all the copper are produced
in Butte and for that reason. we might
have to qualify our statement that the
1887 production Of silver will be greater
than 1896 as the zine and copper curtail-
ments materially effected silver produc-
However. the status Of gold produc-
ton is different as It Is believed that
Silver Bow County (Butte) produced
only a little over 1920 Of the state out
nut This percentage probably Will be
materially increased In 1888, from the
production OF the Butte Highlands Min
ing Company situated about Is miles
south of Butte. Butte Highlands started
its new cyanide plant in the latter part
Of this year and IL future results are
like present operations that property
will probably raise the Silver Bow
County production to about 1870 Of the
states gold output.
In 1851. the camps outside Of Butte,
in western Montana and in Phillips,
Fergus and Park counties produced
about 90eo of our gold and 1890 Of
our silver lead and zinc.
These outside producers ship mainly
to the mint and TO the smelters at
East Helena and Anaconda. In 1895
there was a total OF $40 companies and

MANGANESE
RECOVERY IS
PERFECTED

BUTEE. Dec. 9-Results OF the
study. at Montana School of Mines,
of a problem concerning flotation of
manganese from current mill tail
ings at Philipsburg are published
in the November issue of Engineer
ing and Mining Journal of New
York. in the article, "a Manganese
Recovery Problem and its Solution, -
by A. NJ. Gaudin, research profes-
sor of mineral dressing and r. H.
Behrens, research fellow in mineral
dressing.
The article, illustrated by a num-
Der of graphs and tables. outlines
the direction in which a solution
of a problem occurring in the Phil
ipsburg district of Montana Will be
possible. According to the authors
manganese diozide ores from this
district are currently concentrated
Coy magnetic and gravity methods.
Tailings from these operations are
relatively high in grade and are
valuable enough to justify ship
ment without concentration to the
iron blast furnace plant at Provo,
Utah. Because Of their grade and
purity the concentrates are sold to
the dry battery industry and bring
a higher return than If sold to the
Steel industry. This situation has
presented the problem of recovering
from the current tailings additional
quantities of manganese in a form
suitable for the dry cell industry.
The problem of concentrating
manganese dioxide by flotation may
be approached in a number Of diff
ferent ways. The methods tried
by Professor Gaudin and his as
sistant were as follows: A bulk
float Of the manganese; the removal
of the silicates and carbonates from
the manganese, in a froth, after
first depressing the manganese; de-
preston of the manganese and float
ing of the carbonates, with suibse-
quent activation and flotation of
the manganese dioxide; a bulk float
of the carbonates and manganese,
with subsequent depression of the
manganese and removal of the car
Donate in the froth. The third
method, flotation OF the carbonate
while depressing the man
ganese dioxide and then floating
the manganese away from the sill
Gates, appeors to be the best method
Although the results are not to be
regarded as economically satisfac
tory, they show that a separation is
possible and there is no doubt that
further application to this problem
will result in an acceptable solution.

800 SHIPPERS
PRODUCE LESS
THAN CARLOAD

The average tons per year shipped by
each outside shipper amounts to about
2.gS TONS at the WashOe plant and about
123 tons at the East Helena smelter.
In compiling the average yearly tonnage
per outside shipper. we include the larger
companies. From the nearly 1000 out
side shippers to both smelters Subject
to correction due to some shipper en-
tering ore at both smelters) there are
probably more than 900 small corpora
tions and individuals who ship less than
a carload per year
However, the less than car load per
year shipper is an important factor OF
our mining industry, as some OF these
operations constantly are growing.
The small operations would increase
their developments and output much
faster IL 1t were easier to raise money
for such purposes Under our present
national laws ID IL an extremely diff
cult proposition 10 raise any money at
