Big Horn Placer
No Longer Active

In an article appearing in a
recent issue of the Montana Oil
and Mining Journal it was stat
ed that that publication had
received frequent inquiries re-
garding the Big Horn Placer
Mining corporation which pro-
posed to dredge the Big Horn
basin near Hardin for gold.
1t was stated that this COM
pany withdrew its filing with
the SEC in Washington on
March 26, 1941, and so far as
Is known has done nothing fur
ther on the program of install
ling two or three dredges.
The entire project was said
to have been based on fire as
says which are entirely useless
in actual placer operations since
placer recovery is by concentra-
ton rather than smelling. This
fact is said to have been large
ly responsible for the failure
Of the enterprise, which was
financed chiefly in Montana.

~PEIORITIES DELAY WORK

Howard w. Holmes, state
high voy engineer, stated this
week he would confer with the
engineers in his department in
an effort to determine what
steps to take on state high
way projects now under con-
tract but not started because
of priority difficulties.
Holmes said indications are
that contractors may have more
trouble in securing steel and
concrete pine for bridge work.
There should be no delay in
getting materials for oil-paving
he said.
Equipment requirements may
also be hard to secure, Holmes
said.

This Changing World
japanese Expected to Confine Immediate Moves
To Drive on Indo- Chino and ThoiIond

withdraw in good order even
behind the Ural Mountains,
Toxic is inclined to watch its
step. Although the Germans
have their plans for the or
ganization OF the conquered ter
ritories ready, 1t may be that if
the Russian Army is not ami
hilated and the Stain regime
maintains the allegiance OF the
remaining armies, Hitler may
have good deal of trouble in
the future.
Another important question
mark in the minds OF the mill
tary leaders OF Japan Is what
will Germany's next step be.
Will she confine herself during
the next months before winter
to the occupation OF the rest OF
Europe-the establishment Of q
complete control over Spain and
Portugal-or will she attempt
once more to blitz Great Britain?
In the latter event it is probab
that there Will be a "harmoni-
ous' move whereby Japan Will
tackle Singapore at the same
time the Germans attempt to
invade Britain. II the German
high command considers the
complete conquest OF Europe is
important, the japanese. accord
ing to reports from Toxic, might
delay until a more convenient
time the attack on the real prize
of the Pacific-the British and
the Netherlands possessions.

The situation in the United
States is equally determining
factor in Japans future move,
according to the same reliable
reports.

already has his clutches on Oil and
is now after the job of dictator in
the electrical power industry. This,
together with control of coal and
mining, would make Mr.. Ickes the
most powerful man in Washington
next to the President and build
up political machine for his
use in 1914.
AS for the investors, they stand
to lose far greater sums through
these new government holding COM
pany maneuvers than they ever
did in the days of the manipulators
of high finance back in 1929. 1t is
estimated that if the war goes three
years, the private utility industry
Will disappear within that time. Un-
less public opinion calls q halt it
may be doomed anyway by the Gov
ernment competition which now de-
moralizes operating companies and
by the strangulation process now
being applied to holding companies
by the S. E c. Thus is America
introduced slowly to state capt
talism and national socialism.
