dertaken and should result in find
ing new mines.
The above is not confined to
Butte alone. The lack of develop
ment is apparent all over Montana
wherever mining is carried on.
And not only will development
open up new mines to keep Mon
tana in the forefront of the mineral
producing states, but new mining
methods and metallurgical process
ses will make our present low grade
ores commercial in the future.
Who knows what new mines, and
even new minerals. will provide
added lustre to Montana's fame.
NJ. H. Gidel, assistant chief geolo
gist of the Anaconda Co., gives the
following details of the present day
operations of the mines of Butte
StupendOus Butte Mines
In terms of money, Butte mines
since 1873 have produced about
S2.25O.0O0.O00 or approximately
three-fourths of the value of all
metals produced in Montana.
The monthly payroll of the
Anaconda Co. in Montana, even at
present y ui AaAlNu OPtA ettAOAi9f a
mounts to S1.600,000.
Under normal operations, an ag
gregate of 40 to As miles of drifts,
cross-cuts and raises are driven
yearly.
Aggregate depth of shafts is 1873
miles
Aggregate lenth of development,
including crosscuts, drifts and lat
erals. is 962 miles.
Aggregate height of raises is
3276 miles
Total lengths of all development
is 1924 miles.
Water pumped to surface daily is
10000 tons. This is about twice
the tonnage of ore hoisted daily
under normal operation.
Timber consumption is $4,000, 900 I
board feet yearly.
Electric power required at Butte
is 5000 horsepower per month.
Blasting powder consumed yearly
is 100000 pounds.
Blasting caps consumed yearly /
amount TO 2,0OO,00O.
Fuse used for blasting amounts /
10 27,30O,OO0 feet yearly
Every year approximately 5000 I
visitors are taken underground.
These remarks cover in a very
general way the operations in the
Butte mines to get the ore in the
surface bins, from which it is
shipped to the reduction works at
Anaconda.

INDUSTRIAL
Use: FOUND
FOR Silver

NEW YORK Silver used in the
manufacture of a new commercial
and industrial product, silver stain
less steel, renewed the hope Of
Western silver producers for a large
market other than coinage, silver
ware, and jewelry. The new alloy
was first exhibited Wednesday, Dec.
s, at the exposition of chemical
industries here
The silver steel is the usual stain
less steel to which is added one
quarter of one .per cent of silver, in
a way that permeates the entire
metal with silver particles so fine
that one of them has to be magni-
fled about 500 times to be visible.
A sheet of this metal, the size
of a medium bedroom mirror and
nearly as bright, and some COM
merciel castings that look like
silver, were shown.
Discovery of the process for max
ing the silver stainless was an
nounced last May. the work of
Massachusetts, Institute of Tech
nology men, done for the Chemical
Foundation. Inc.
The results have gone beyond ex-
pectations. The original discovery
was that silver-impregnated stain
less steel was immune in the labora-
tory to salt water pit corrosion, the
one kind of natural rust to which
stainless steel was known to be
susceptible.
1t now appears the new metal
resists also various chemical cor
rosives that attack stainless steels.
1t was explained these chemical
resistant properties promise new ia
cilities for greater varieties of color
and faster colors in dyeing dress
goods
The silver stainless was produced
originally to meet problems of the
United States navy.

transcontinental highway, runs
through Bearmouth, with the camp
and initial dredge pond within a
stones throw.
Bear Greek was a famous placer
in the early days of Montana min
ing. Gold was first discovered in
that state only about rs miles to the
southeast The stream heads up on
the Garnet Range, which has been
yielding gold to lode and placer
miners since the SOS.
According to Mr. Laylander, the
early miners could not work Bear
Greek clear to the present highway,
leaving about a mile of the widest
part of the valley as virgin ground.
The lower valley was passed up be-
cause of the water table An old
bedrock drain has been found along
the west side of the valley from the
lowest point of the old workings
In prospecting the ground. the
Star Pointer company drilled every
200 it,, putting down a shaft to bed
rock for every 10 drill holes.
Test work indicates about TO-
100000 cubic yards of material for
the Bearmouth operation. The
valley at the highway, where the
dredging starts, is 1,40O it. wide
and the ground available extends
for 2.5 miles up gradually mar
rowing valley. Average depth OF
the deposit is around SIS #.
The Star Pointer Exploration Co.
has drilling parties prospecting
other locations in the vicinity and
rather expects to put two additional
projects under way.

next August, President Roosevelt
passed over 20 major generals

now rank above Marshall.
The man who will thus jump
over the heads of his "a present

as a private soldier in 1902, but
was a graduate of the Virginia
Military Institute before enlisting

General Marshall is So years of
age. and is now deputy chief of
staff under General Craig. He
served as assistant chief of staff
of the First Division In France
during the World War, after which
he was aide-de-camp to General
Pershing.
Later he commanded the 18th
Infantry in China for three years,

Of staff a few days ago, General
Marshall was little known outside

officers. His new office will give
him the rank of full general, the

Story Of The Flag

The United States flag dates
back to June IA, 1777. On that
June day 1872 years ago, Congress
passed resolution providing the
present arrangement of stars and
stripes. AS states have been add
ed to the union, the Is original
white stars have become 48. 1t is
a glorious constellation of free
commonwealth, every one of
which has fine institutions and a
good chance for progress and de-
velopment.
The flags of many nations show
little variety of design. The flag
OF France, for instance, consists
of three solid stripes Of blue, white
and red, running up and down. It
has stirred French valor on a
thousand fields Of battle, but as
an aesthetic picture it is not so
fine.
The United States flag, with it's
narrow red and white stripes it's
white stars and blue field, has
a beautiful variety of contrast of
color. Those bright shining stars,
in the blue ground might be taken
as symbol of the canopy of
heaven, suggesting the ideals that
have been created by the founders
of our country and which it is our
duty to maintain.

A Thought For Father

Next Sunday will be Fathers
Day, and thus far it has been
kept fairly secret. Nobody seems
to be much interested in Fathers
Day. and, for that matter, nobody
seems to be much interested in
father. Fathers Day has been
happening for decades now, but it
has never reached the profitable
proportions of Mothers Day which
say the cynics, gives out-of-town
sons and daughters an opportun-
ity to be quite sentimental about
mother with the helpful coopera-
ton of the telephone and tele-
graph companies and the postal
service.
Father Is rather a forlorn fell
low at times. He may not be 60
ing so we'll as he did some years
ago and the chances are that the
children are inclined to hold him
too sharply to account for cur
tailed allowances at school or the
six-yead-old car. If they are grown
and on their own in the city they
may give him an occasional
thought, but on Fathers Day they
seldom let their affection for the
old boy run to the extreme of

Longer Week. Ends

In week-ends nations mirror
their character. In the case of
week-ending this will be more true
in the future than in the past for
we are in the process of making
week-ends for more people and
longer week-ends for all people.
The five-day week promises to put
the already large weekend indus
try in the front rank of our larg-
est enterprises.
The Hagerstown globe. (Hagerstown, Md.) 1936-1943, 1939-06-16

There will be more weekend
motoring. More building of cot
tages. More demand for suburban
homes for quiet week-ends. More
excursioning. More business for
resorts catering to week-enders.
More planting and gardening in
suburban communities.
Say what you will about the
American as spender, the fact
remains that he is about as thrifty
a mortal as this globe has pro-
duced to date. Not many of the
five-day workers will be content
sitting out the other two days.
Odd jobs producing little extra
money will be at a premium and
will put large share of the
cOuntry's imagination and initia-
tive to work.
The weekend was not made for
fun in everybody's plan of living.
