Carload of Concentrates
Consigned to Smelter

OPERATING MILL
THREE SHIFTS DAILY

The first carload of concentrates
from the Glacier Silver Lead mine
was shipped out Saturday, follow
ing resumption of operations re-
Gently which was the sequel to q
long period of development at the
mine. The carload was consigned
to the smelter at East Helena.
F. w. Kiesling. secretary Of the
company, and Cornelius c. Collier,
attorney of Spokane were in the
city Saturday and visited the prop
erty. Every indication points to
very satisfactory period Of produc-
tion," said Mr.. Kiesling. I'VE have
crew of % men now at work In
the mine and mill and intend to
put on another man within the next
day or two. The mill is running n
hours a day, but we are working
only one shift in the mine. The ore
is of such good quality that the
miners can break down enough ore
in one Shift to keep the mill oper-
ating full "a hours
There is plenty of water to pro-
vide ample power by means of the
hydro-electric plant for operation Of
both mine and mill, while the re-
Gently installed auxiliary Diesel
plant assures an abundance Of pow
er as the flow of water diminiShes
later in the summer. With produc-
ton at the mine going steadily for
ward, 1t is expected shipments Of
concentrates will follow at regular
| intervals indefinitely.

HELENA, May IA. = Barclay
Craighead, chairman of the Unem-
ployment Compensation commission,
said yesterday that payrolls of Mon
tana industries subject to the state
job insurance law totaled about
sl2. 100000 in the months of Janu-
airy, February and March 1910, and
that approximately $4,000 workers
were employed in such industries.
Mr.. Craighead said this was pay
roll increase of about $2,334,000 over
the corresponding period of 1889
and that about 1000 more workers
were employed during the winter
months of 1910 in employment pro-
tected by the unemployment law
than were employed in the same
period of 1889.
Business men and workers may
view the coming months with some
optimism" Mr.. Craighead said.
THE employment division of the
commission placed about 5000 per-
sons in employment since the first
of the year.

Butte mines, which has given en-
ployment to $500 persons in Butte

Over Twelve Million DoIors Paid Out
To Unemployed During First Quorter

and about 1000 more in the cities
of Anaconda, Bonner, Great Falls,
East Helena and Missoula has been
beneficial to the state.
Without question the 1880, 600
paid by the commission to unem-
ployed workers during the first
three months of 1910 did much to
increase retail trade sales in Mon
tana. Over 81 400 unemployed
workers have drawn benefits from
the unemployment fund and the
money has meant cash business for
merchants"
The cold, wet spring delayed
farmers in spring blowing and seed
ing and caused farmers to postpone
hiring workers. During the last
month farmers have been employ
ing farm help in greater numbers.
The weather also caused delays in
highway construction.
"Those who are disturbed over
difficulties farmers may have in get
ting their crops in due to the late
wet spring should recall 1927" Mr..
Craighead said.
April 1927 spring planting was
delayed by SHOWS and rains. In
some areas in 1927 farmers used
high wheeled wagons and broad
cast wheat, by scattering it from
the wagons In that year Montana
produced its record crop"
While the weather bureau has
not completed final compilations it
is believed that April 1910 will be
the wettest April ever recorded in
this state

Woter Tokes Out
Temporary Bridge

A few warm days the first OF the
week brought the KooAenai river up
to a high stage, common occur
renee in May ct sach yexr. The
high water was too powetftd tor
the falsework used in construction.
of the new Warland bridge and Sat
urday a large part of the piling and
the floor thereon went out. More OF
the piling was carried away Sun
day, about half of the temporary
structure being carried away by the
flood waters. This was expected
and did no particular damage mas
much as construction of the bridge
was far enough advanced SO the
temporary bridging was no longer
needed.
This fine new bridge is rapidly
nearing completion. The floor is now
all laid and light trucks are being
permitted to cross. As soon as the
last section that was poured has had
time to cure a little more, heavy
trucks will be permitted to use the
new bridge. That will be within
about 10 days.
The riveting crew is now finish
ing the riveting of the steel work
The railing along the sides of the
bridge is still to be put in place
and the final coat Of paint has yet
to be applied. The CCCt crew will
have that job. The structure is to
be. painted with aluminium paint,
and the entire job will be applied
by brush. says HI. Flechsing, fore
man in charge Of construction. He
states it is not practical to apply
aluminium paint with an air gun as
tn, pigment in aluminium paint
clogs the gun and the result is that
the paint is not evenly applied.
Flechsing said he expects to have
the bridge completed by about June
10. The first work on the bridge
was done last August. In addition
to the painting of the structure, q
little work has still to be done on
the approaches before the job is
completed. A short piece OF work
has also to be constructed leading
from highway No. 81 to the bridge.

ever to have been given IN Libby

gathering large, as Miss McGrade is
one of the best loved teachers ever
to have taught in the Libby schools.
The spacious rooms were most
lovely in spring flowers Of pink
and white. Great baskets of apple
blossoms, pink tulips and white mar
cissi were beautifully arranged.
Soft music was played at intervals.
The table was laid with hand
some cloth of heavy lace and a
large crystal bowl of exquisite
Clara Butt tulips filled the center.
Tall tapers of the same delicately
beautiful shade of pink as the tulips
stood at each end Tea and vari-
Gus assortment of waters were
served.
The hostesses were Mesdames
Dexter, Wood, Stevens, Nordstrom
Fagerberg, Parker, Blackford and
the Misses Carlson, Rowe, Lee, Ram
10 and Day. In groups Of four the
hostesses assisted Miss McGrade In
receiving.
A lovely feature was that the
guests brought little written note.
OF appreciation and love for Mis-:
McGrade to store away with hel
keepsakes, and provided for a gift
to be given her later. :

Care and Poor Relief. = Still q third
questions is What has become of
the funds hospitals used to have
from private individuals to carry on
such work. The answer to this
one IS quite simple--hospitals no
longer have access to large gifts
from wealthy persons whose gifts
made free service possible. There
is no distinction in the case Of in
digents SO far as race, color or
creed is concerned. Good hospitali-
ration work has done much for the
general nealth of the community and
Montgomery county and should be
regarded as an asset.
