of technical and clerical staff men,

the cooperation of w. T. Beaumont
and Ed. ]. Kelley of the Work
Projects Administration, and Doctor
Francis A. Thomson. President of
the Montana School of Mines and
Director of the Montana Bureau
of Mines and Geology, a WPA pro-
ject was approved by the President
of the United States to make a
mineral resources survey of Mon
tana. The school of Mines is spon-
soring the project and it is being
supervised for the government by me
and Cecil R. Waldron. We were
greatly aided in obtaining this
project through the efforts of the
Silver Bow post of the American
Legion of which Mr.. Kelley is
Chairman of the National Defense
Committee.
New Directory Out
The project is making a thorough
survey of all the minerals in Mon
tana, especially the stragetic min
erals, and an affiliated project is
suppleGnenting this work with prac-
tical metallurgical research. We
have aided the School of Mines in
building a polishing and briquetting
machine to determine the physical
characteristics of the ores and a
diffraction grating spectrOgraph to
determine the analytical constituents
of the different minerals. We have
already published a new Directory
of Montana Mining Properties" and
in the future we expect to publish
multi-indexed photography of all
the articles on Montana's minerals.
We also are compiling lists of the
patented claims in each of the min
ing counties and folios of the mines
and mineral deposits by counties
and districts. Quite a lot of field
work is being done and the results
of this work will be available
through publications or through the
files of the Montana Bureau of
Mines and Geology.
AS a result of the foresight and
efforts of the men hereinbefore
mentioned Montana's mining indus
try stands ready today to do its
part in this present emergency.
Colorado Springs Meeting
Last December l made two adj
dresses at the annual meeting of
the Northwest Mining Association
at Spokane and in June 1910 I
attended a meeting of the program
at Denver for the Ameri-
can Mining Congress meeting to
be held at Colorado Springs the
week of September 16. At least
four Montana speakers will be on

and we urge all who can attend
that meeting to do so. The at
tendence will be over two thousand.
A great many of the current techni-
cal and economic problems Of the
mining industry will be discussed
by nationally prominent speakers
who are we'll fitted for such dis
cussion. After the Denver meeting
l went to Chicago and met a num-
Der of steel manufacturers to get
information on the prospective de-
mand for the strategic minerals
that Montana can produce.
We commend the loyal members,
both individuals and companies,
who are not only helping us with
their efforts hut also with their
financial support and we believe
that every mining operation in this
state should cooperate with us, for
their own good. and financially sup
port the Mining Association of Mon
tana as our constructive efforts
help all the mining operations in
the state and our success in com
batting adverse factors have saved
the independent operators many,
many LllOucdu4o VI uO4Ac4
The Mining Association of Mon
tana, organized in March 1884, has
rapidly until today it
ranks at the top of such organiza-
tions in prestige and accomplish
ments.
We have been fortunate in hav-
ing this work done by officials of
the Association who have acted
any financial remuneration.
However. the amount of work that
has to be done each year has now
reached a point when it is necessary
to put this Association on such a
financial basis that it can employ
and pay an officer to devote nearly
all of his time to the work of the
Association. This has been done
IN other states and it can be done
n Montana.
The future growth of our organi-
zation depends on the cooperation

industry of Montana which must
realize that nowadays individual
efforts do not get US anywhere

Speaks At A. NJ. G.
l attended the annual conven-
ton of the American Mining Con-
gress at Salt Lake City last August
and was one of the speakers on the
program, my subject being "Finan-
cling Primary Mining Ventures" My
speech was widely reprinted and
was the subject of editorial com
ment in a number Of papers in the
United States and England. The
officers of the various state mining
associations met at a private con-
ference one entire day before the
Salt Lake convention and number
of important matters were discus
sed AS the Mining Association Of
Montana co-operates with the other
state mining associations, and with
the national American Mining Con-
gress, these annual meetings of the
officers of the state associations
are very valuable to the Mining
Association OF Montana and its
members.
After the Salt Lake meeting l
attended a meeting of gold pro-
ducers at San Francisco.
Legislative Activities
Our national legislative activities
included a participation in liberal
ing Government loans to mining
companies, stimulating the produc:
ton of strategic minerals, asking
for notifications Of the Wagner
Act and the Wage and Hour Act,
advocating notifications of the Sc
curities and Exchange Acts, and
waging campaign against some
of the adverse features of the pro-
posed Federal land bills and stream
pollution bills.
We also advocated the re-estab-
lishment of the Helena Assay
office and that bill has now passed
the Senate and is in the House
committee 10 ne ldleA dCtCu upON
by the House.
We have literally co-operated
with the district chapters of the
Mining Association of Montana,
these chapters being the Last
Chance Gulch Mining Association
of Helena; the Beaverhead Mining
Association of Dillon; the Madi-
SON County Mining Association,
City; and the Mineral Belt
Mining Association at Whitehall.

In the role of Rats brother is

as Bogart's wife and Alan Hale and
