They Have A Hobby
Digging For Gold

HELENA, Mont, Dec. IL
Outside of working hours two
Helena businessmen, father and
son, have become gold miners
with their 'diggings" inside the
city limits.
The two, Dean Kranich, clerk
in the federal district court, md
his father, George, are sinking q
shaft in their backyard. They
intend to dig until they strike
granite. estimated to be lbs feet
below the surface.
ITS entirely an elbow grease
job to give us exercise" says
Dean.
Their theory is that there
should be a deposit of gold at
bedrock, carried there by seep-
age through limestone. Gold has
been found at other. places inside
Helena's city limits.

INDUSTRY

Industrial production, regarded
by some experts as the best sin
gle gauge of national well-being,
is showing sensational gains. In
August, 1887, the index number
was lit as compared with he
in 1929. By May, 1888, the num-
Der dropped to rs, but last
month it reached 100. The rapid
upward bounce of industry leads
to the belief that a leveling off
period will soon check the re-
covery climb. Moreover, 1889
is still expected to be an ''up"
year.

popular sentiment will force Con-

BETTER FEELING

A better feeling between bust
ness and the Government is re-
Elected almost everywhere. There
is a general realization that
neither the Government nor
business alone can keep the ma
TONS economic machinery NOV

are accepting the Government III
the role of regulator. Big bust

alizing that business must not

RAILROADS

The railroads are looking for
financial assistance from the
Government but the cOnsolida-
ton of unneeded facilities will
be blocked by political pressure
from workers and other interest
ed groups. Recently, sentiment
among the executives has moved
toward lower passenger fares as
an inducement to increased pas
senger travel. Undoubtedly,
many railroads are in serious
financial trouble, but their plight
may be relieved by improved
business conditions.

keys Gold SOx" is not the sal
aries Of Jimmy FOxx, Lefty
Grove or Manager Joe Cronin,
but the price of baseballs.
E. TrOwbridge Collins, general
manager of the BOsOx, says that
the cost to the club is $4,000 a
season. They purchase 800
dozen pellets at SIS per for the
average baseball year.
The club playing ~ games of
the 154 games at the home ball
yard loses about 30 balls each

close to $40. At the end of the
season it costs the Red SOx in
the neighbOrhOOd Of $4,000 for
the loss of foul balls.
These figures are rising every

Three years ago we erected
a screen over the left field fence
and this has cut down the cost.
Many balls land there and are
later collected.
"In an effort to cut the loss
OF balls down to minimum we
give away a free ducat to any

to an usher.
"On the other hand our Natl.

darn good advertising to keep
