Montana Operators
Increase Production

Monana produced $4O,SOO,7OO
worth of gold. silver, copper, lead
and zinc during the year 1889, an
increase over 1898 production but
not equal to the peak of 1887.
There was a substantial increase in
quantity Of all five metals; gold'
26 per cent; silver SO per cent;
copper. % per cent; lead "A per
cent and zinc output was nearly
four times that of 1888.
The large increase in gold from
placers was entirely due to new
mechanical installations in 1888
and 1899. At the close of the year
seven connect bucket-dredges were
in operation. Gold from lode mines
also gained as the output of gold
ore increased in several Montana
counties. Lode operations at Silver
Star, Georgetown and in Broad
water county reported increases up
to 500 ounces.
The output of silver in Montana
increased from 6.403,962 fine ounces
in 1898 to 8,898,45O ounces in 1888.
1t represented an increase of SO
per cent in quantity and 46 per
cent in value, since the average
silver price in the latter year was
SIS cents per ounce, an increase
of more than three cents over the
1888 price.

ASSAY Office Bill In Senate
Wheeler
ACTS TO
GET AGENCY

WASHINGTON - Montana's bid
for the re-estab lishment of a fed
eral assay and gold buying office
in Helena took concrete form here
when Senator Burton X. Wheeler
of the Treasure State introduced
a bill in the United States senate
to organize such an agency. The
state has been without an assay
or buying office since 1882 when
the office at Helena was abandon
ed due to the small amount of BUSH
ness received.
Montana's gold and silver pro-
duction has more than tripled.
In 1884 production was only 97,445
ounces of gold while in 1889
255,600 fine ounces with a value
of $8,946,000 were produced.
The bill is of interest to all gold
and silver operators in the state
and especially the Independent pro-
ducers and prospectors.
A move for the return of the
assay office at Helena was started
at a meeting of the Madison Coun-
ty Mining Association. a unit of the
state group, at its November meet
ing. August Grunert, secretary of
the state association, called atten-
ton OF the Madison county mining
men of the need of the restoration
of the office and presented mo-
ton that the Madison county assO-
citation Immediately start a move
ment to have the matter taken up
at the next meeting of Congress.
The action was taken and the state
association later Endorsed the move
ment.
Mr.. Grunert poined out there
has been a jump in both gold and
silver production in the state since
1882. when the office was discon-
tinued. He said that in 1884, a year
the Presidents price boost
of gold to S35 an ounce, production
Jumped to 97,445 ounces. In 1888,
# was 203,313 ounces, and produc-
ion since then has continued to
increase, he said.
1t was also brought out at the
meeting how the establishment
of the office would act as life
saver" for the small operators, many
of whom have to operate on small
capital and with little or no cash
reserves. Under present arrange
ments they must send their metal
to Denver, necessitating delay and
added expense.

ORE BODY
SUIT IN
BUTTE COURT

BUTTE-A suit involving an ore
body assertedly valued at more
than 100000 was filed in U. S.
district court here today, according
TO Harold Allen, deputy clerk.
Plaintiffs in a complaint filed
against the Butte & Superior Min
ing company seek a three-year lease
on a part of the Black Rock mine,
in which they assertedly have un-
covered an ore body worth more
than 100000, and containing rich
silver and gold content.
Plaintiffs are John Evankovich,
Chris Tokich, H. F. England, Mako
Evankovich, Michael Jozovich and
Bozo Zaglund. They assert in the
complaint that the defendant, listed
as an Arizona corporation, entered
into an agreement with them where
by they were to repair a shaft in
the mine and do certain mining
work. and that it was agreed they
would be given a three-year lease
If they uncovered a large body OF
ore.
According to the complaint, the
plaintiffs found rich body of ore
and "could have and would have
and still would make a profit after
paying royalties by working and
shipping said ores of more than
500. 900" if the defendant had car
ried out the terms of the agree
ment. The agreement was entered
into last July, the complaint asserts.

DILLON-C. Costa Miller, man
ager of the Bon Accord placers OF
the Ralph Davis Syndicate, an
nounced that the floating dredge
operation, described in the Montana
Oil and Mining Journal, Deem
Der 8. 1889, would reopen this
week due to the mild weather.
Mr.. Miller spent several days in
Butte last week making arrange
ments for necessary supplies to
start again.
The plant has operated at a prof
it for over a year. 1t will handle
$500 to 5000 cubic yards of gray
el per day and is fed by a five
yard Monaghan walker" dragline
equipped with a 1875 foot boom.
The washing plant is New
York Engineering Co. product, US
ing Hungarian rifles for gold re-
covery. 1t was formerly operated
in Prickly Pear canyon south of
Helena by Winston Brothers and at
that time was the first successful
washing plant in Montana since
the closing down of the ALDER
Gulch dredges in 1924.
This will not be the only dredge
in Montana operating this winter
as the present operation of Win
ston Brothers near Clancy has yet

TREASURY DEPT.
PURCHASES
CHROME STOCKS

The United States Treasury De-
partment, acting under the prOvi-
sions of the Strategic Materials
Act. has purchased 10000 long
tons of chromium ore mined in
Turkey. which will be added to
the stockpile of strategic minerals
which the government is accumula-
ting as a national defense measure.
The contract went to the Mutual
Chemical Company of America,
agents for Sti Bank Ankara, Tur-
key, on its bid of $26.50 per long
ton, elf Philadelphia.
This is the second chromium a
ward made by the treasury since
bids were opened in October The
earlier award for $4,000 tons, tot
aling $4,000, went to Mrs Doro-
thea Reddy Marooney, 1860 Bush
Street, San Francisco who holds OPP
tions on the six Lass and Whitney
claims and on approximately 10 9TH
er claims in the Seldovia district
of Alaska. Mrs Marooney's con-
tract provides that work must be-
gin within three months from the
date of awarding the contract and
that deliveries must be made in
six months. Inasmuch as weather
conditions would make fulfillment
of the provisions practically impos-
sible, it is believed that Mrs. Ma
rooney will seek alteration of the
contract.

NO IRON IN BLOOD

Observation-Disclosures Secre-
tary Ickes said at his press con-
ference today that he asked the
Bureau of Mines Director Finch S
resignation because he didn't have
enough iron in his blood to run
the Bureau Of Mines. Ickes said
that the Bureau has not been run
by Finch, but by a little bureau
cratic clique which has run the
Bureau since President Hoover's
time.
4 think, the Secretary said,
their purpose has been to en-
barrass me as much as they could.
He said it was this group which
let the story of Finch's resignation
leak out the Department, after
he (Ickes) had agreed to say
nothing about it until after Finch
had found another place.
He said the lukewarm attitude
of the Bureau toward the Federal
Oil Bill had not been the specific
cause of the request for Finch's
resignation, nor any other specific
occurance, although he said the
bureaus attitude on helium exports
about two years ago (when Ickes
enlarged shipments of the gas to
Germany ran directly counter to
his own policy. There were other
incidents, he said.

THINK 1T OVER

Does the reciprocal trade agree
ment policy make provision for
the difference in American produc-
ton costs as a result of our high
standard of living? Does it recog-
nize that exchange manipulation
can be a far more potent force
for protection than a tariff?
Has any reciprocal trade agree
ment provided protection from COM
petition based on exchange manipu-
lation by foreign governments?
If foreign products are allowed
to be sold here below our costs,
does it not increase distress and
unemployment in this country?

The blow has fallen. The re-
ciprocal trade agreement on zinc
succeeded in knocking down the
U. S. price from six cents to five
and three-fourths cents per pound.
That should be just enough to toss
some of the marginal mines for a
loop and put few more unemploy-
ed miners on WPA.

Washington correspondents will
give even odds that the reciprocity
trade agreemen which cut the tar
riff on zinc will be modified and
seven to five that the cut will be
entirely eliminated.
The Northwest Mining News
acidly commented that the new
forms promised mining men by the
SEC are still in the promise stage
insofar as western mining men
know They add that there is
very little hope that the new forms
will help much anyway.
The state department announc-
ed, just before the New Year hap
pened, that due to the widespread
interest in the question they
thought it advisable to state that
no tariff concession would be made
on copper or copper products in
the trade agreement now being
negotiated for Chilli.

FROM OUR
EXCHANGES
TWO NEGROES KILLED
IN HIGHWAY ACCIDENT

Buster Farmer and Samuel Church,
of Franktown, Va, both colored and
about eighteen years of age, are dead
as the result of an automobile acct
dent Monday, April 90, about noon,
between Exmore and Franktown, on
the Bayside road.
The rumble seat Ford roadster, own
ed by James Smith, was being driven
by Eddie Lee Kellam and, according
to statements, the car was going at
good rate of speed when it left the
road and landed into ditch where it
pitch-poled.
George Ed Williams, aged about
seventeen, was carried to the North
ampton-Accomack Memorial Hospital
where he is in a critical condition.
Isaac Mapp, Jr., was treated at the
office of DR.. E. w. P. Downing, Frank
town, after the latter had been sum-
moned to the scene of the accident,
where he gave first aid. William
James Kellam, brother of Eddie Lee
Kellam, was unhurt.
Neal Sparrow and colored man,
Asa Dix, were nearby when the acct
dent occurred and they tipped the car
over and helped remove the dead
bodies from beneath.
According to information the Ne
groes were riding south with trail
er attached to the back of the Ford
and when the car pitch-poled it crush
ed them beneath the wreckage.
Sheriff Geo. Turner reported that
the call came into his office at 1890
Monday and his deputies arrived at
the scene in few minutes to investi-
gate the case. Kellam and his broth
er, who escaped injuries, began to
run after the accident and they were
not caught until Tuesday morning;
they hid in the woods that night.
When Sheriff Turner left his home
Tuesday morning, he found the two
boys with their grandmother, Louisa
Fisher, sitting on the door-steps.
Eddie Lee Kellam, charged with
manslaughter, is being held in East
vile Jail. Judge Williams held the
hearing Tuesday morning.
