Big, Tough
 City Editor

ATLANTA, Jan. 6.-As night city editor of the Atlanta Constitution 36-vear -old Lee Thurman is tough, steel-nerved
 Nothing ruffles him. Fires rage, trains wreck, gunmen battle police men, planes crash-but Thurman remains calm, barks out orders to reporters and photographers.
 But yesterday Thurman became father.
 He took up the vigil at hospital, paced the floor, ruffled magazines. Finally, after an indefinite age, a nurse stuck her head out of the door to tell him he had daugh- ter.
 Thurman rose from a chair, swayed momentarily, and quietly crumpled to the floor in a swoon.

u. S. WILL AID
DEVELOPMENT OF
MONTANA METALS

WASHINGTON-Senator MUIR y
democrat, Montana, has assured Gov
Samp c. Ford Of his "active cooper
alton" in the governors efforts tc
stimulate development Of MontanaF
mineral resources.
Murray said the subject had his
personal attention for some time and
in making public letter to Governor
Ford, he asserted that some definite
progress" of interest to Montana could
be reported.
He cited willingness of the Metals
Reserve Co. to contract for low grade
ores containing 40 percent manganese
and 40 percent chrome and the chang
ing Of specifications so no maximum
Of alumina, iron or silica was set on
low grade B" ore.
Production of commercial chrome,
Murray said, was to be initiated at the
Ben Bow property in Saltwater county
in the spring of 1912 at the rate Of
10000 long tons year "as compared
with total shipments Of 1852 tons
from the entire United States in 1870"
He reminded the governor that at
Butte the Anaconda Copper Mining
co. is producing manganese sinter av-
eraging 60 percent manganese at the
rate of 10000 long tons a year, COM
pairing with a total production Of
1923 long tons of high grade manga
nese ore last year from the entire
United States.

absent in some places because of fault
ing but as the faults are almost per-
pendicular to the strike of the banding
the barren stretches due to this cause
are not long.
The chromite band on the Majestic
claim shows many small offsets, even
though ore was found in nearly all
the trenches dug at 50-foot intervals.
These offsets are thought to be due
to faults, though few Of the faults
could be located.
The fact that chromite has been
found in the Saltwater complex at all
attitudes from $500 to 10000 feet with
out any systematic change ascribable
to difference in depth indicates that
it probably would continue to any
mineable depth. The changes In thick
ness and grade at the surface over a
range in altitude of 300 feet on the
Benbow property should be a measure
Of the variation to be expected with
depth.

CALL EXPERTS
ON AVIATION GAS
REFINERY PLAN

The aviation gasoline committee Of
District Of the on Co-ordinatorss
committee decided In session ct Butte
last week to secure the employment
OF experts to work out detail plans for
construction of an aviation gasoline
plant OF plants IN the Rocky Noun
tain region, to utilize the output OF
butanes and other products OF poly
merization essential in the manufac-
ture Of 100-octane gasoline.
Super aviation motor fuels Of 100
octane quality are being produced by
American refiners at "a times the
rate Of consumption of all grades of
aviation fuels only three years ago.
and plans to triple this huge capacity
within the next ~ to 10 months are
under way, with Is new plants build
ing under highest priority ratings.
Present capacity to manufacture 100
octane motor fuel is about 100000
gallons a day. Only few weeks ago
the capacity was 100000 gallons a
day, but the decision of government
purchasers to allow the use Of 4 &C
rather than 3 &C Of tetraethyl~ lead
in 1O0-octane fuel increased the ca
pacity overnight from Is to 20 per
cent.
These capacities are In addition to
the continuing manufacture of large
quantities of slightly lower grade avia-
ton motor fuels Of IS to 81 octane
rating. Until three years ago these
grades made up virtually the entire
supply of aviation fuel. The super 100
octane fuel was still in the laboratory
seven years ago, and even moderate
scale commercial production did not
begin until three years ago.
