signed his position in favor of an
assistant professorship in metal
lurgy at Columbia university, it
was announced by Dr. Francis A.
Thomson, president of the college.
simultaneously. DR.. Thomson an
nounced the appointment of Bernard
d. Guilty to the vacancy. The lat
ter is a native MOntanan, a former
resident of Havre. and a graduate
of McGin university.
Dr. Peretti is a native Of Butte,

graduated from Montana School of
Mines in 1884 and received his
masters degree from the same in
stitution in 1885 In September OF
1885 he left for Germany as an ex-
change student from Montana
school of Mines and received his
doctors degree after year of stu
dy at the Wuttemberg Institute
of Technology at Stuttgart. In 1886
he was appointed a member of Mon
tana School of Mines.
Commenting on the resignation
Of DR.. Peretti, President Thomson
stated that Montana School of
Mines regrets the loss which we
have suffered by reason of the in
ability to compete with larger and
wealthier colleges, but we also take
pride in the fact that one of our
alumni mas been selected for an
assistant professorship in an insti-
tuition with the standing and repu-
tation Of Columbia University"
Mr. Guilty. the successor to DR..
Peretti, has had considerable prac-
teal experience in the field of
metallurgy, supplementing his tech
nical education in that field He
has worked as assayer's helper,
mill operator and assistant in mill
research at the Siscoe Gold Mines,
Ltd. and also as gas tester on re-
verbaratory furnaces at the Nor
wanda smelter, and as a flotation
operator at Copper Cliff, all in On
tario

sue of the Institute bulletin.
Mr.. Guilty is now pursuing re-
search work in physical metallurgy,
principally age-hardening, reaction
in solid alloys. capitalization,
diffusion. ETC., and will take over
his duties in Butte at the opening
of the first semester, September

duction of these old wells has been
the Introduction of improved meth
DDS of recovering oil Water
flooding, the injection of water
through specially-drilled wells to
build up hydrostatic pressure in
underground oil formations, has
boosted production in the famous
Bradford field, which was discov-
cred in 1874, until it has reached
almost the peak production in its
greatest year, 1881. Production in
this field, the outstanding example
of water-flooding, had dropped
rapidly to a nadir shortly after
1900, and it commonly was believed
that the sand almost was exhausted.
Then water flooding was discover
ed, legalized. and introduced in
the field, and production began
steady climb. 1t now is IL times
the yield at the low point.
Water-flooding scientifically con-
trolled so that no damage is caused
in the oil formation, is one of
several secondary recovery methods
developed by the oil industry to
increase production from oil sands
which apparently are depleted. This
method recently was legalized in
Ohio, and already has been intro
duced successfully in one of that
states older fields. Gas injection,
and air injection, similarly designed
to build up pressures in under
ground oil formations and increase
recovery, also have made startling
advances in recent years.

GEO-SURVEY OREGON

SALEM. OREGON-The State
department of geology and mineral
industries announces that, through
arrangements with the geophysical
division of the United State geo
logical survey in Washington, a
magnometer survey is now being
carried out in the vicinity of Salem
for the purpose of obtaining sub
surface information on the geologic
structure of the area. The particu-
lar point of this investigation is
to ascertain the possibilities OF
geological structures or folds which
under favorable circumstances
might be productive Of oil or gas.
If the results of the study are
positive, it may light the way for
further detailed work by private
interests that have indicated their
desire to develop the area.

VIII. SEEK
PUBLICITY
FOR MINING

NORRIS Mining men of Madi-
son county, practically all OF whom
come under the classification of
.'small operators, gathered here
for the semi-annual meeting of the
Madison County Mining association,
Approximately 60 attended.
The meeting opened with din
ner in the new high school audi
forum, presided over by A. j.
Theis, mining operator OF this CITY.
Mr.. Thies welcomed the mining
men TO Norris and expressed the
faith that all Madison county resi-
dents have in mineral deposits OF
their county.
The main talk was given by Dr..
Francis A. Thomson, president OF
the Montana School of Mines, VINO
suggested that the one best way
in which Madison county mining
operators could do themselves some
good would be TO pool their re-
sources in promoting the industry.
He advised a competent geological
survey of the entire area, partic-
ularly the Tobacco Root mountain
district. which would give proof
to the investing public that the area
really had something to offer IN
the way of mining prospects
The speaker declared the invest
ing public has a right to know
something of the prospects where
its money is being invested and
said the best way in the world
to attract capital to Madison coun-
ty would be to give 'incontestiDle
proof that there is gold IN the
district"
DR.. Thomson suggested. also,
that all operators be assessed
their fair pro rata of the cost III
putting out this information.
Don't claim anything you can
prove was his closing advice.
J. G. Mcleod. store operator OF
Norris, welcomed the visitors and
asked that they return often TO
that city for their semi-annual
meetings. Carl J.. Trauerman OF
Butte, president of the Mining AS
ISOLATION of Montana. and August
Grunert, secretary. both made short
talks. Mr.. Trauerman called at
tention to the government reports,
which show that Madison county
led all counties of the state last
year in gold production.

MORE OIL REQUIRED

AT the end Of 1889 forecasts
from reliable sources estimated
that 1910 would be a banner year
for the oil industry. Production
was figured at 3,643,SOO barrels
daily with a consumption of L.
33O,O0O,000 barrels for the year.
This means that 100000 more
barrels will have to be produced
during 1910 or 100000 barrels
more daily to meet the demand.
Increased use of gasoline will be
between and per cent over
last year of 5S9,OOO,OOO barrels.
During the first quarter of 1910
the above estimates were closely
adhered to.

so that the intersection of the fault
planes and these specific horizons

In Agreement On Armory

With the city and the county commissions
in agreement on preliminary plans for an ar
mory which would house four military units
and provide a place for public assembly, it
seems that the people of Wilmington may look
forward toward the achievement of a major
goal with more hope than formerly. If the
agreement which crowned Mondays j o n
meeting is followed by action steady, firm,
constructive action and the citizens get
the city will get it's armory.
These tentative plans call for a probable ex-
penditure Of $1,000 900 upon the plant which
would have company rooms for the militia,
- if certain changes are made - an audience
of 5000 persons and possibly more. The site
would be the old Marine hospital property,
adjoining the Robert S n a n 6 e Fairgrounds,
which in turn would be developed into a great
recreation center affording room for all man.
ner OF athletic contests in an environment
developed to bring out the best competitive
dillO11S SO11tCotd4lIS. LII duOlIlOu tllG al.
mory would provide quarters for indoor meets
- a track oval, tennis and basketball courts
- for periods of inclement weather, with
movable bleachers for spectators.
The proposal is to be laid before WPA and
other authorities in Washington, with the hope
that approximately half the cost or 500, 600,
will be made available. The balance would
the city's share. This amount, what
ever it is, may seem large to some Whining
tonians. but in comparison with the advan-
tages to be gained is not prohibitive.
1t is not improbable that with careful ad-
ministration and sufficient promotion, the ven
ture could be made self-supporting and self
liquidating. At least we could count on the
armory being used for many public gather
ings - concerts, conventions, mass meetings
- all of which would create revenue. And
Wilmington might count on many conventions
now go elsewhere because we have
no adequate hall.
Now that the city and county administra-
tons are united on the venture, it is incum-
bent upon the public to come to their aid for
the acquisition of an asset so valuable.

A Peace Offensive?

In the comnunique issued after the mo-
mentous meeting between Adolf Hitler and
Marshal Petain it was announced that the two
chiefs OF state had discussed means of re-
constructing peace in Europe" and had agreed
on the principle of collaboration What this
means we have yet to learn, for the applica.
ton OF this principle, it was said, will be con-
sidered later.
1t IS best, however, to resist any tendency
to put an optimistic Interpretation on this
communique on the ground that the conquer
or and the conquered talked about peace, We
have seen too many of the results of cooperat-
ing with Hitler and Mussolini to have much
faith that theirs is the way to peace. So it is
necessary to wait for developments in a skep-
teal frame of mind.
1t may be that the advance on Greece is
another peace offensive. Whatever it is, there
is no doubt that it will bear on the progress
of the war and must therefore affect the
whole world.
But interest has already found expression
in the Presidents warning that too close an
approach to the Axis by the Vichy govern
ment will bring on the occupation of French
possessions in this hemisphere by the Ameri-
can republics. That prospect may have a re-
straining influence on Marshal Petain. But
matters have already gone far, clearly enough.
We can only hope against hope that they are
truly moving toward peace-but not a Nazi-
dictated peace.
