development
IS ARRANGED

LIBBY-Garth Kenelty Of Libby
has closed contract with the Her
bert Gold Mines for extension of
the No. 2 tunnel on the company's
silver-gold property about eight
miles south of Libby. The contract
has been let to Kenelty by DR.. J..
w. Doughty of Sedro-W ooley, Wash.
president of the company. The con-
tract is being let in lengths OF 100
feet This work will result in re
of operations at the mine
after a shutdown of about two
years.
1t is said that the second raise,
which lacks from 40 to so feet Of
reaching the surface, will be com
pleted from the first raise, which
was driven from the tunnel to the
surface-a distance of about 200
feet.
Samuel B. Holbert, engineer and
vice president TO the company, is
for the statement that ore
shipped to the East Helena smelter
ran about $2S othe ton. This ore
was from the first raise but similar
conditions exist in the second raise,
according to the engineer. Drifts
from the tunnel levels have indi-
Gated ore of like value for q width
Of five feet or wider. The company
has about 200 stockholders.

COPPER EXPORTS
HIT new PEAKS

NEW YORK Some of the heay-
lest exports of copper from United
States mines in years were fore
cast today in mining circles as a
result of extensive buying the last
few days
French interests were reported to
have placed with American comDa-
MES the biggest foreign order since
World war days-29 900 tons. Tt
was said this order would be sup
Dlied largely from metal mined in
this country. Previously French
users had ordered $1,000 tons to be
obtained from foreign-produced sup
plies. The value of the combined
tonnage was put at $11, 100000.
Since the Copper buying wave
got started at the end of June,
total sales were reported to have
topped $4,000 tons for the domes
tic market, the largest in a year
or more. This total did not IN
cIude the French purchases.

MOVE TO GUST
PLACER CLAIMS
on MEADOWS

WASHINGTON house pas
sed today and sent to the senate a
bill requiring filling with the gener-
al land office of notice of the ex-
istence of placer mining camps on
the public domain.
The measure, by Representative
Taylor of Colorado, also would re-
quire the claimants to file a state
ment that they have performed as
sessment work to the value Of 800
upon each claim.
Failure to file either the notice
or to make a report on the claim
would be considered evidence that
the claim had been abandoned.
Secretary Ickes said examinations
between 1920 and 1880 had shown
that 10000 claims, embracing more
than 100000 acres of the public
domain, were not being maintained
according to the laws provision for
annual assessment work.
Ickes added, however, that the
supreme court had held that hi
lacked statutory authority to en-
force the 500 requirement.
THE resulting situation" he
Salut - Clcdt4g luAulCdl " the
public interest. Claimants occupy
a position more favorable than that
of any other class of persons claim
ing under the public land laws.
Moreover, the existence of these
claims prevents the administration
or disposition of these lands accord
ing to their best use, under existing
acts of congress, and particularly
obstructs the administration OF the
Taylor grazing act"

PROSPERITY

The two-year period Of price
STERILIZATION is more important than
the increase of Z cents an ounce in
the new national silver purchase
law, although the price increase Is
gratefully received" according to
J. p. MacFadden, manager OF the
Montana Silver Queen mine in the
Neihart district, when interviewed
by the Great Falls Tribune. Mac
Fadden conferred here Monday with
A. J.. Breitenstein, secretary OF the
Chamber Of Commerce, relative to
efforts being made to get an all
weather road to that and other
mines.
Gives Assurance
Under a two-year STERILIZATION
period instead of only six months 1t
is possible for operators to proceed
with assurance. MacFadden said. He
emphasized that Neihart is expert

mines are being reopened and new
ore bodies developed.

Need Winter Road
Unless an adequate road is built
to the mine. winter operations will
be impossible, MacFadden said. The
property is five miles from Mel
hart. The Ruby silver mine also
would be served and there is pros
pect of considerable activity along
the same highway as the result of a
recent transaction in which Denver
interests have bonded a group of
claims. The road prof.
ect is being considered by the
county.

new MINERAL
DISCOVERED IN
WYOMING well

Discovery Of a new mineral, Of
ficially named 'shortite", was an
nounced this week by the U. s.
Geological Survey.
Composed of a double carbonate
of sodium and calcium, the new
mineral was found and identified
by j. j. Fahey, chemist, in the
Geological Survey laboratory. 1t
was discovered as disseminated
well-fOrmed crystals in sections of
core from the John Hay oil and
gas well, drilled by Mountain Fuel
Supply Company on leased Govern
ment land in Sweetwater County
Wyoming. at depths of 1880 to
800 feet below the earth's sur
face Shortite was named in hon
or of Dr. NJ. N. Short, a former
geologist of the Survey who now
is Professor of Optical Mineralogy
at the University of Arizona.
Although the commercial value
of "shortite" is not yet definitely
known, the new mineral is associa-
ted with considerable quantities of
trona sodium carbonate bicarbon-
ate, which does have potential com
mercial value. Trona YVES identified
in a sample from this same well in
1888 by r. c. Wells, chief chem
list of the Geological Survey.
Additional samples for further
laboratory examination will be col
lected by Mr. Fahey who has left
Washington, for the shortite-bear-
ing area. 1t is expected that sec
tions OF core, two inches in dia-
meter, and totaling few hundred
feet in length will be transported
to Washington.
The new find probably will be
one of the few mineral discover
les for the year. So thoroughly has
the earth been combed that. during
the past two years only about
twenty new minerals were discover
ed in the entire world.

COPPER MARKET
OUTLOOK IS BEST
In MANY MONTHS

NEW YORK-The copper in
dustry began the second half of
1899 with Frightening prospects
which reflected improved foreign
demand and increased domestic
consumption.
War demands are expected to
boost current purchases of at least
one foreign country to $4,000 tons,
following the purchase last Friday
of $1,000 tons by this unnamed
power. Other customers OF the
European cartel also are expected
to increase their stocks in the near
future.
Estimates of American copper
consumption in June, as distinct
from deliveries, placed usuage at
200 tons, the best for any month
since January when more than ST.
600 tons were used.

LOUIS GOSLIN PASSES

LANDUSKY-Louis F. Goslin,
SO, who passed away last week at
Malta, was one of the early pion-
GERS of north Montana mining, hav-
ing operated at Barker and Hughes
vile in the early days and was su-
perintendent OF the old August Min
ing Co. at Landusky. He went to
the Little Rockies from Barker in
the spring of 1903. He made many
fortunes and spent them all. When
Louis Goslin had money, his friends
were never in want, and his ranch
a mile south of Zortman was home
to many an old-timer.

surveys and mapping various min
eral districts Considerable work
in the Blacktail district has been
conducted during the last year, in
Guiding a survey of the nickel de-
post at Elk creek.
According to statistics released
by Secretary B. A. Risley, more
than 100000 in new wealth has
been produced by mines of the
county within the past two years.
At the present time there are 256

CHROMITE SURVEY
In MONTANA NAY BE
MADE BY UNCLE SA

WASHINGTON - Mineral depos-
its in Wyoming and Montana are
among those on which surveys are
contemplated by the bureau of
mines in connection with the new
strategic war materials act.
John W Finch, bureau director,
in letter made public by Sena-
tor Wheeler, said: There are
enough known deposits of such pro-
mise to occupy the exploration
group during the first year. One of
these projects concerns the chro-
mite of Montana, and some further
will be given to man
ganese possibilities at Philipsburg.
He named Wyoming among 9TH
er states where such deposits
were known. Others are in Oregon,
