ID. WHITAKER
EXPLAINS IRON
MINE PLANS

STANFORD-About Is Stanford
business men met Dewey Whitaker
of Great Falls and C. w. Morrison,
retired business man of Fort Ben
ton, at the Basin State Bank, where
Whitaker explained plans for de-
veloping iron ore deposits near Stan
ford and erecting a mill that would
handle 100 tons of ore a day.
Whitaker holds 80 iron ore
claims subject to patent in the Run
ming Wolf area and has filed on
several claims of low grade chro-
mite in the Columbus and Big Tim
Der area.
He explained the existence in
commercial quantities of low grade
chromite ore in the Columbus and
Big Timber area and high grade
iron ore in the vicinity of Stanford
are the basis for gigantic new in
dustries in Montana.
Whittakers present plans are to
have H. G. S. Anderson of Mus
kogee. Okla, internationally known
mining engineer and geologist, here
coon to make plans for operations.

PROPOSE
WORK FOR
idle men

SEATTLE-An interesting exper-
iment in utilizing Washington s
mineral resources as an aid to I'M
employment has been announced to
the Seattle Star by s. A. Gray, of
the National Project Workers
Union
Gray said that his organization
has obtained rights to so acres in
the Sultan river basin The prop
erty is located in the mountains
off the highway between Monroe
and Sultan.
The project includes two veins
for hard rock mining and about
40 acres for placer.
1t is planned to place about so
unemployed men to work on a CO.
operative basis. An experienced
supervisor will be furnished from
the executive committee of the
Project Workers Union.
About three months ago the or
ganization launched a timber prof.
ect at Storm lake, where jobless
men went to work in the woods
also on a cooperative basis. Gray
reports this project has proved
great success.
we feel that a cooperative
mining venture is a near-per-
feet solution for the relief sit
uation," Gray told his depart
ment. I'm most lines of work,
the unemployed are taking
some one else's job. or depriv-
ing someone else of their right
to earn a living.
This is not so in mining. Large
numbers of unemployed can earn
a living for themselves by pro-
ducing a commodity that the ma
ton always needs-gold.
Anyone interested in the project
can secure additional information
from Gray at the unions head

by calling PRospect-S5S5.

RED METAL
PRICES CUT
on MARKET

NEW YORK-Sales of copper
were made at 111s cents a pound
by custom smelters Tuesday. a de-
cline of Il cent from the price pre-
viously quoted in this field and
3s of a cent less than the level set
by leading primary producers.
Prices have been steadily declin-
ing in both the custom and resale
markets recently. reflecting slack
demand from foreign and domestic
users of the red metal.
Producers. however, have stuck to
their higher price, apparently on
the theory the little business likely
to be attracted by cut would not
be sufficient inducement.
The export market has followed
the lead of the outside market, with
current price at 10 cents along
side chip A month or so ago copper
for foreign delivery brought a sub
stantial premium over the 1112
cent producer figure.
American Smelling and Refining
today reduced the price of
lead u of a cent to 5 cents a pound
the third cut in two weeks. The
new quotation equalled the years
lowest. established Feb. Z.

USES OF METALS

Titanium. This metal when used
as an alloy in bronze and brass
gives brightness.
Vanadium. This metal is an i'm
portant alloy with other metals,
especially iron.
Zinc. Next to iron zinc has more
uses than any other metal which
was previously indicated. 1t forms
brass when alloyed with copper.
It's chief use, however, is for gal
vanizing.
Chromium. This metal is used
as an alloy to give hardness and
strength to the other metals.
Lead. Lead is one of the softest
and heaviest of the base metals and
makes the best paint pigment. It
is non-conductor and is Therefore
widely used as cable covering and
in batteries. 1t is also used in
gasoline to prevent ping.
Manganese. The principal use
of this metal is as an alloy with
iron to produce manganese steel.
MoIybdeum. This very heavy
metal used as a mordant in dyes
and as an alloy with iron.
Mercury. This is the only metal
which is liquid under ordinary tenn
peratures and is used in thermome-
ters and as a backing for mirrors.
1t is also used in percussion explo-
sives.

In proposing a Montana man for
president OF the national mining
institute. Mr.. Trauerman pointed
ont that it is now 2S years since an
educator has headed the organiza-
tion He called attention to the
fact that DR.. Thomson has just
completed three years as chairman
of the minerals education division OF
the organization; that he has been
three times chairman of local
section of that body, that he mas
been a member Of the institute for
80 years. and that as president OF
as one of the worlds greatest min
ing colleges, ''he represents no par
ticular ndustry-copper, gold, silver,
lead. oil or any other products Of
the mining world.
Mr. Trauerman' motion came al
the end of a dinner meeting or the
Montana section Of the AIN T.,
held at the Finlen hotel. Although
entirely unexpected. the move was
most enthusiastically acclaimed 10y
the membership. AS the meeting
closed there were many expressions
of active support DR.. Thomson has
long been recognized as the leader
of new thought in the mining in
dustry in the West.
f. S. BardwelI Presides.
E. S. BardwelI of Great Falls,
chairman of the Montana section.
presided at the meeting Mr.. Bard
we'll represented the Montana sec
ton at the national meeting Of the
institute in New York early in Feb
ruary. He said. the meeting was
largely attended there being only
two local sections not represented.
DR.. Francis A. Thomson, presi-
dent of Montana School of Mines,
the man endorsed for president of
the national organization, was the
main speaker. DR.. Thomson minced
no words in declaring that 'the
men who are now active in the pro-
fession should do something towards
helping the young men who are
coming on"
The noted college president spoke
of such things as the change in
the attitude of our organization to-
wards the younger men" and de-
clared in no uncertain words that
the men who today are holding jobs
in the mining profession have a
in aiding the gradu
ates of mining colleges.
Challenge of Today.
Said Dr.. Thomson I'VE need
more student societies. We need
more help from the executives of
mining corporations We do not be-
lieve that graduates of mining col
leges should be dropped off the
deep end Immediately after gradu-
alton. The challenge of today is to
produce better engineers, men who
can produce results in our profess
sion
DR.. Thomson paid high tribute to
the women's auxiliary of the A. l. !
NJ. E., which, he said, has done
much to further the mining indus
try in establishing mining engineer
ing scholarships, student loans, |
and other means Of assisting young
in completing their educa-
ton.

commemorative stamp. Shown
above is the fourth stamp OF the
series, a semi-postal released
April 20, 1910, celebrating the
dictator's 5lst birthday. The
stamp pictures the ReichSfuehrer

him a present and flowers.
Those four stamp issues cover
Notwithstanding events in the ca
reer OF the one-time Austrian COR
porsl. Hitler's pledge to respect
Belgian neutrality. given in Octo-
Der. 1887, was worth less than the
stamps.
His 10Th birthday saw Hitler as
ruler Of Austria. The conversa-
tons at Munich took place in the
same year, and Nazis won the
Sudeten area Of Czechoslovakia.
A month before his 50th ami
versary, the Reichsfuehrer took
over the remainder Of Czechoslo-
vakia, and Lithuania surrendered
Mcneil. April, 1888, also saw Hit
Ter denounce the Polish non-ag-

regarding someone applying TO
a local Mission for berry pickers
and found men not willing to
work. While no name of the
mission was mentioned, a GER
tain person called at this mis-
sion for men and the writer
answered saying If we had men
available, they would be glad
to go.
The following morning this
person I understand) called
for these men before the writer
had come to the mission ffice,
which is never later than $50
a. m. None were available, as
those whom he saw In the wait
ing room had signed up for for
est fire fighting, and left later
that same morning.
Other men, IL to be exact,
had agreed to go with local
merchant to his orchard and
that left few men to do the
cleaning Of the building at the
mission. We hold men to do
this work and at the same time
help them to collect their
thoughts and adjust themselves,
and, after three to five days
they, too, must move on.
Back to the pickers: One ex-
perienced picker cleared 81 for
the week. The men who went
out as pickers either had to take
bread and whatever else we
could give them for their lunch
or buy 1t - from their daily
earnings.
Every man deserves chance
to live. These same men, of
whom some would turn away
hungry, weary and discouraged,
may be the same men to stand
fighting with you or yours in
the coming days to protect the
rest of us. We serve all regard
less of color, creed or race.

HOROSCOPE
FRIDAY, AUGUST 2

Benefic aspects again rule. II
is a date most suspicious for all
forms of publicity. Merchants
should advertise generously.
Minds should be clear and judg-
ment trustworthy under this
rule Of the stars. Political can
didates should make the most
of today's opportunities to win
votes.
Heart and Home: Women will
find much to do in work for the
public welfare. New leaders of
remarkable ability will arise to
direct service in national ef-
forts to aid humanity and to
extend wise hospitality to refu-
gees. This is lucky day for
romance. The young will find
evening festivities fortunate.
Despite the worlds distress,
weddings will increase, as the
idea of finding happiness on
the wing prevails. Under this
sway household accidents may
be numerous.
Business Affairs: Long pre-
dicted increase in the cost of
living will be apparent. Col
leges will he affected by the war
apprehension as well as by eco
nomic conditions due to Europe's
vast losses which inevitably
must be felt indirectly in the
United States. The unemploy-
ment problem will be less trou-
blesome in the autumn, although
the number Of men and women
physically unable to work will
increase. Public health will be-
come more and more important
as its effect upon national pro-
ductivity is realized.
National Issues: Danger from
subversive agencies will in
crease in the United States as
Washington continues to be
honeycombed by employees not
in sympathy with democracy or
actively employed by hostile
governments. Sensational dis
eoveries of secret plans to
wreck factories engaged in air
plane or warship production are
prognosticated. Warning is given
that in looking for subversive
activities care should be taken
to treat aliens fairly and
squarely.
international Affairs: Strikes
and uprisings will complicate
war problems for the British
Empire. Mutinies and riots are
prognosticated for England as
well as Ireland. Before the au-
