is impossible to associate the bomb
ing OF London with the strategy Of
invasion. The London attack still
must be regarded as a separate
maneuver. designed TO weaken Brit
ish morale and for the psychology
cal effect on the German people.
IL Hitler has decided that inva-
sion Is too hazardous. it would be
natural for him to make spectac-
ular effort to distract attention at
home from the invasion project.
The bombardment Of London may
well have this purpose. especially
since the Germans have been suf-
fering for months from nightly
visits OF the Royal Air Force.
British frankness In allowing
detailed reports TO be trans
mifted abroad concerning the
damage 10 London and the con-
fusion caused TO normal life,
together with announcements
Of casualties, aids Hitler to
show the German people how
powerful are his blows. At the
same time, the British admis-
sions Of destruction emphasize
the truth of other announce
ments from London concerning
German losses and the sus-
tanned war power of the Brit
ish people.
The stories of destruction sent
abroad from London. too, assist
the German purpose in trying to
convince freign pinin that German
pwer is resistless. But, both with
In and outside Germany. the effect
can have only temporary validity
If Germany does not follow through
with major militar operations.
Otherwise, an anti-climax is inevi-
table.
Germany refuses TO give.
publicity to the destructive
British bombings within the
reich. Berlin correspondents
are rigidly restrained from
sending such military informa-
ton abroad, and have little Of
the freedom allowed London
correspondents.
Nevertheless, occasional leak
ages occur. Thus, the fact has
escaped from Berlin that between
the middle of May and last week
the great industrial city of Essen
in the Ruhr has had only four
nights of respite from British
bombing. Too. travellers arriving
in Switzerland report grave dis
location of the railway services in
western Germany. due to bomb
attacks. Vichy. likewise, has sup
piled information of the havoc
produced by British airmen in
German occupied channel ports.
Such successes as those have
military value, to be weighed
against the Importance of civilian
damage in London. Objective
judgment must conclude that Ger
many has not got the upper hand.
Hitler must return TO a strictly
offensive if he hopes to
accomplish major results Killing
civilians does not win wars.

SWANSEA MINES
RE-0PEHING
SILVER BELL

HELENA-The Swansea Mines,
Inc, plans to start shipping ore to
the smelter early in April and ex-
poets to start construction of a con-
centrating plant this summer. c. l.
Hewitt of Helena, is president and
general manager of the company and
F. w. Seieroe is in charge of the
business management.
The company was organized in
1899 for the purpose of operating
the old Silver Bell group of claims
in the Gold-Stemple district of
Lewis and CLARK county, Montana,
and its own claims which are con-
tiguous to the Silver Bell group.
The Silver Bell was discovered and
worked in the early 7O's and con-
siderable high-grade gold-silver ore
is reported to have been mined at
that time and shipments made to
Swansea, Wales, for treatment. The
ore was hauled to the railroad at
Corinne. Utah. and shipped to San
Francisco, thence around the Horn
to England.
The property was extensively de-
veloped by the English syndicate
which was operating the Drumlum-
mon mine at Marysville, Montana.
Three tunnels were driven, the low
est one attaining a depth of around
$50 feet. The vein upon which the
operators were working is describ-
ed as almost vertical and ranging
from to 80 feet in width, ore
carrying high silica content. This
development work was completed
around 1901 and was satisfactory.
but the operators could not make
a profitable recovery with the meth
DDS of concentration available at
that time, namely amalgamation
and gravity concentration.
Considerable work on the recov-
cry problem was done in 1898 and
1899 and it was found that about
80 per cent of the gold and silver
can be recovered in the form of
concentrate by flotation. A crew
has been steadily employed reopen
ing old workings. which were badly
caved, and preparing for active
mining and production.

I
These iron deposits have been
known for some so years, and 1t Is
conceded that there are over 30O,-
100000 tons OF magnetic ore and
well over 100000 tons OF
hemotite iron ore.
This ore runs an average OF 50 "a
pure, with just trace TO a total
absence of PHOSPHORUS and a trace
here and there of silica, which
makes this iron ore of such quality
as to make the highest grade steel
possible to produce.
In the last few years there has
been developed a new process IN
refining iron ore. which is suited
to the Stanford iron fields and that
is the making of powdered iron
This iron now is imported mostly
from Sweden and the nature of the
Stanford iron and it purity, makes
ii possible to produce better steel
than the steel now being produced
by using the Swedish product as
a base.
1t is the intention of the incor-
pOrators to develop not only the
mining of this iron, but to develop
fabrication in every way that will
tend to promote prosperity and
give the maximum of employment.
This not only affects the industry
itself, but it means new markets
and better markets for things pro-
duced in Montana, and new wealth
for the state in using its natural
resources.
All the raw materials needed to
refine this ore are closely associated
with the ore deposits, and this
opens a market also for coal,
oil and gas, besides the need for
electrical power.
That a new era Of prosperity for
Montana is opening is admitted by
all, and talk of development of
these iron ore deposits is now prom
ised as a reality.

DRY council that the program be

'In the first place." King said
lit has aided us in finding foreign
