LIBERTY METALS
MILL TO RESUME
ON APRIL FIRST

The Liberty Metals company,
which recently resumed operations
after a period of idleness, expects
to have sufficient ore to start
milling on a three-shift schedule
about April 1 The company owns
1,4OO acres located about 5 y miles
south of Troy. in the Grouse and
Copper mountains of Lincoln Coun-
~. Equipment includes a 100-ton
flotation mill and a 4S0-horsepow-
er Diesel-electric power plant.
North and south drifts and raises
have opened from 80 to sc inches
of high-grade ore and six or seven
feet of milling ore, according to
Secretary George n. sellers. Values
are in silver, lead, zinc and in
some places gold. The zinc is said
10 be crystallized, facilitating sep
aration.
On January II three feet of clean
high-grade galena is stated to have
been opened in the southeast face
with mill-grade ore filling the rest
of the face. A few days later adj
ditional work is stated to have
shown the ore widening to fully
six feet of high grade.

VIKING HAS
OPENED new
BODY OF ORE

The Viking Mining Co, operating
south of Libby. is opening a new
body of ore that is estimated to
run several hundred dollars to the
ton, according to a telegram re-
ceived by A. B. Dirks of Great Falls,
president of the company, from
Frank Humphrey, general super
intendent. The company was organ
lied in 1884 by residents of Great
Falls and vicinity.
Arrangements are being made,
Dirks said, to put this new ore body
through the mill with other ore
from the Viking claims The vein
now being opened is said to be suf-
ficient to require from to years
in milling at the property at the
present capacity of so tons a day.
1t is planned, Dirks announced to
enlarge the mill in the near fu-
ture to handle 100 tons daily.
The Viking mine is working day
and night and has maintained OPP
erations througout the winter, 81
men being employed.

Herbert GOLD
RE-FINANCING

Refinancing of Herbert Gold
Mines, Inc. which has properties
south of Libby. is now in progress,
according to DR. ]. W. Doughty.
With the first raise of 235 feet
forty-three tons of ore, broken in
raising brought $25.6S a ton from
a smelter. Approximately 400 tons
of milling ore was stored on the
dump. A second raise, $50 feet dis
tant from the first. was up so feet
at the last report. In a circular
letter Dr.. Doughty says, 1t prom
ises to develop ore as good as that
in the No l raise. If ore persists
90 feet on each side Of the NO l
raise, if its width averages six feet
and its values are the same as the
smelter returns, there will be devel-
oped 1000 tons of s25 ore or
100000.
A plan for immediate financing
as been offered the stockholders.
Exploration investments would a
mount to $500. $1,000 for develop
ment and $4,000 for equipment.

field there was an apparent poten-
tial excess production of 2,195 bar
rels. "Of this amount proponents
of PROBATION had approximately 500
barrels daily. The remaining 1895
barrels of potentially excess produc-
ton is either Indifferent or opposed
to proration. But it also must be
borne in mind that during the same
period the prorationists were selling
some $50 barrels daily.
Regarding water encroachment
in Kevin-Sunburst the opponents
of proration assert that "thiS water
problem is not the result of a loss
of gas pressure or a lowering of
the gas-oil ratio. 1t is the result
of drilling wells through the oil
horizons into the water horizon,
letting the water come up into the
oil horizon and then spreading and
mushrooming. going in all direc-
tons from the we'll This water
problem is not a true hydrostatic
pressure, but a water encrOachment
from underneath This condition
has existed for 10 years or more,
since the beginning of the field,
and has reduced the probable recov-
cry to about Is per cent The
proper method of controlling this
water encroachment is to plug the
wells, says the reply, again quot
ing the law with regard to the
responsibility of the railway COM
mission in this matter.
Summate Arguments
The summation of the arguments
of opponents against proration at
this time in Montana is given in a
discussion of the testimony Of Glen |
Staley, umpire of oil proration in
the state of New Mexico called by |
the prorationists:
The potential production of New |
Mexico is between 100000 and |
100000 barrels per day. The
potential production of the two |
major fields in Montana, according
to John Blixt, is 1880 barrels per
day. If we add as much more |
for the other fields. we get a daily
potential Of $1,000 barrels. This
figure would be excessive.
Compares New Mexico
1.-The capacity of all refineIles in |
New Mexico is 1850 barrels per
day. The refinery capacity in Mon
tana is, in round figures, $4,000
barrels per day. The total allow
able in New Mexico as of January |
1888, was 107, 100 barrels per
10y or approximately 20 of the
potential production
But according to Mr. Blixt, on
November 1. 1887, the Kevin-Sun-
burst field was producing $50 of
It's potential and the Cut Bank
field 500 (Blixt reports.)
"In New Mexico a well with a
potential of 5000 barrels per day
IS allowed to produce S3 barrels.

production in New Mexico is in the

ATTACK MADISON DEFENDANTS

Congressman John NJ. Coffee OF
Washington, in the House on jan
uary 8th urged enforcement of the
economic features of the antitrust
laws Urging that the Department
of Justice take action under the
Panama Canal Act of 1912 which
provides that no vessel be permitted
to pass through the Panama Canal
if owned or operated by anyone
doing business in violation of GER
tain sections of the antitrust laws,
he also urged that the Secretary
of the Interior act under Section
966 of Title 43 of the Code of
Laws of the U. S. providing rights
Of ways for pipe lines over the
public domain in the state of Ar
kansas which provides for the for
feiture of the right to use this right
of way by companies violating the
same sections of the antitrust laws.
Congressman Coffee also called
upon the Secretary of the Interior
to take steps to revoke oil and
leases held by any Of the
convicted oil companies on public
lands as provided in the Code of
Laws for the U. S. al Stat. 449).

appl'eciable production is the Artesia
field, which consists mostly of strip
per wells.
ssince only 10 of the allowable
production and $4,000 of the po-
tential production can be refined
in New Mexico, the largest part OF
the allowable production must be
exported. Pipe lines owned by
Humble Oil Co., a subsidiary OF
Standard Oil Co., of New Jersey,
Atlantic Refining Co and Shell Oil
Co. serve the fields and run from
New Mexico into Texas. They are
the only purchasers taking oil from
the Hobbs field and they determine
the amount of oil they will take.
The Humble Refining Co. sets the
price to be paid for oil.
"In short, New Mexico, in con-
trast to Montana where indepen-
dents own $50 of the production,
is a major company's paradise. They
control production, transportation,
marketing and prices. AS pointed
out in Finding VII cd, proration
in New Mexico has affected and is
perpetuating a monopoly 'fby major
companies, of the production, trans-
or'tation, refining and marketing of
crude OIL" No one, except those
connected with the major companies
desires such a situation to obtain
in Montana.
Questions Motives
1--WE agree with counsel that
this state has passed the point
where it will supinely permit the
exploitation of it's natural resources
by people residing outside OF the
State who enter the State merely
for the purpose of getting rich" We
add that the independent oil pro-
ducers of Montana will not supinely
permit the best oil producing acres
in Montana to be made into an oil
reserve for the benefit of major COM
panies whose offices are in Wall
Street. Finding VII (d) is not, as
counsel suggests like the whistle !
of a negro passing a graveyard at |
1t is an endeavor to |
point out to your excellency "the
niger in the wood pile" so far as |
this hearing IS concerned.
''In 1887 Wyoming shipped into
Montana 1,851,951 barrels of oil. |
In 1887 we imported more than /
100000 gallons of gasoline. DO
the prorationists desire that situa-
ton to continue? Again, counsel /
suggests that we are advocating a
boycott. Far from it. We again
say that Montana gasoline is as
GOOD as any made; that we should
be allowed to compete, without
state interference, with imported
crude and gasoline; and, that with
freight rates lowered. as they have
been, we can do it. Wyoming crude
and Wyoming gasoline support
not Montana. Montana
crude and Montana gasoline support
Montana with taxes and with pay
rolls. why kill the goose that lays
the golden egg?"
The exceptions to the exceptions
of proponents of proration and to
the argument, conclusions and testi-
mony of counsel for certain pro-
ponents of proration, being a short
treatise on the virtues of consis-
tency and kindred subjects is
signed by H. C. Hall, attorney for
George Nadeau, Wilfred Nadeau, A.
B. Cobb and William Hanlon.
