something of a myth to the gridiron

IRON MINING IS
At RECORD PEAK

Iron Mining activity as is in
dicated by iron ore shipments from
the lake ports continued to increase
during July and was $50 larger
than in July 1899. Iron ore ship
ments during the month totalled
10.4 million tons, July and August
1897 being the only other two
months since 1929 that shipments
exceeded that amount Consump-
ton Of iron ore increased further
during July and was the largest for
that month since 1929. Iron ore
stocks at Lake Erie docks and fur
naces increased more than usual
during July due to the unusually
large ore shipments but on July 81
were at about the usual level for
that date. Copper production con
tinued at the high level of June and
was 76Go larger than in July last
year Silver production was about
81 larger in July than in June
and more than double the July 1899
production Gold production declin-
ed AZ to a level slightly below
year ago.
Final figures on iron ore con-
received show a much lar
ger utilization of iron ore than the
figures indicated

WPA COMPLIES
PHOTOGRAPHY
OF PUBLICATIONS

The next important publication
of the Works Project Administra-
ton in it's Mineral Resources Survey
will be a photography of the mineral
industry, including Oil and gas, of
the State of Montana, according to
announcement of Carl J. Trauerman,
supervisor.
The new publication will run 500
pages in the Directory of Montana
Mining Properties recently issued.
The photography of publications
dealing with every phase of oil and
mining development includes some
40 cross-indexes of all publications
of the United States Geological Sur
vey on Montana, by the Bureau OF
Mines and Geology. by the American
Association of Petroleum Biologists,
by trade publications and other
sources. Indexes of libraries of
larger educational institutions of
the United States are like
wise being searched in an effort to
find every written word of authority
on the geology. strategraphy, pa
leontology, paleObotany and history
or mineral development. A digest
of each geological report is being
written, to facilitate the use of the
photography.
The publication will be one Of
the most complete ever issued by
any state and will be of tremendous
value as a guide in the future de-
yelopment of mineral resources of
Montana, in the opinion of Super
visor Trauerman The herculean
task of reading through all these
for the purpose of Sc
curing a cross-index of each report,
