should be given the consideration that
it deserves in all proposed legislation,

ton levying taxes and having to do

Forecast
We are living in metal age and
we must continue to produce metals to
maintain and improve our present
standard of living In peace times and
to provide the means for national de-
Tense in times like the present. AS long
as we continue to live under a repub-
lican form of government the pro-
ducers Of metals must pay fair prices
for materials, fair wages to labor and
other services, fair portion of the
taxes and a fair return TO the owners
OF the producing properties. Otherwise
we cannot perpetuate the metal min
ing industry and what Is now known
as the metal mining dollar" in the
future, may remain in the ground.

wells ever drilled in the Baker anticline
was finished recently 10 miles south
east of Baker on Wa SW3 NWa Sec
ton Is, Township 5N, Range Gle, on

ENGINEER APPLYS
FANFARE WHEN HE
CAN'T FIND ORE

A sero-comic account Of man rush
ing around with $16,OO0,O00 to invest
in an iron plant comes from Stanford
which is near one of the largest iron
ore deposits in the United States
which deposit is described In detaiI
by various United States Geological
Survey bulletins and numerous private
reports. This investigator" heard q
rumor about the presence OF the ore
and by the time he arrived on the
scene he had figured out how many
cars of ore would be shipped daily.
More than $500 has been expend-
ed in development work on the Run
ming Wolf iron ore deposits, although
there has been no mining in many
years. The Pittsburgh steel inter-
ests have seen to it that nothing has
been done although several promoters
have tried unsucceSSfully to get some
development.
Following is the Stanford news item:
STANFORD.-Luther S. FoSs, mining
engineer of Michigan, dropped into
Stanford without fanfare to inspect
iron deposits on Running Wolf creek
in the interests of national defense.
These are the claims toward which
the eyes of many MontananS have
been turned for years.
Having received at Denver informa-
ton purporting to disclose the exist !
ence Of enormous deposits of iron ore
about IA miles west of Stanford, he
arrived ready for action, providing the
of the deposits was borne
out by his Investigations. He said the
plan was to establish two $1,000 900
furnaces, which, with railroad from
Lehigh, would be ready in 30 days, and
an additional mile of track to care for
the ore cars, Of which so would be
shipped out daily.
Accompanied by Charles Goyins of
Stanford as a guide, he visited the 10
cation. He stated that the claims had
been misrepresented as almost no de-
7elopment work has been done and,
while it might be true that an 300
DOT back wall of iron ore might exist,
here was no evidence to show it was
here in such gigantic quantities and
hat there was now no time to waste
n experimenting on the possibility
If finding the vast deposits needed.

Local Zinc Plant Started
Operations 25 Years Ago

Twenty-Five years ago, in Septem-
her. 1916, first operations of the cleo
trolytic zinc plant at the Great Falls
reduction works of the Anaconda Cop
per Mining company got under way
! after a construction crew of 1850 men,
directed by F. j. Brule as engineer,
worked from December, 1915, to erect
the plant.
The zinc refining process used was
one discovered by Frederick Laist, chief
metallurgical engineer of the company.
The Great Falls plant was the larg-
est of its kind in the world in 1915
and could produce 100 tons Of zinc a
day, rated basis. In 1919 total OF
$4,000 tons Of 1898 percent zinc was
produced. In 1920 the plant produc-
ton was boosted to 1855 tons daily.
More Units Added
In 1926 two more units we're added
to the plant. BY 1897 the capacity had
reached 1886 tons of cathode zinc per
"a hours or 100000 pounds month.
Within the last year more tanks have
been added and the daily output boost
ed to $50 to $40 tons daily, the largest
such producer in the world.
Main divisions Of the zinc plant are
the roasters, teaching, electrolyzdng and
casting and their subsidiary depart
ments. Fourteen roasting furnaces are
in operation now to convert zinc and
lead sulphides into sulphates and OK
ides, expel the excess sulphur and oxi-
die the iron and other metallic con-
tent of the ore, making product suit
able for subsequent treatment in the
zinc teaching plant.
Leaching Division
After the zinc is processed In the
teaching division the zinc bearing So
luton, after publication and clarifi-
cation, is pumped to storage tanks
which supply the electrolyZing division.
In the electrolyzing division the zinc
is deposited from its solution, using
lead anodes, or aluminium sheets, from
which it is stripped as zinc catholics
at regular intervals.
The zinc sulphate solution as fed to
the cells contains no free acid but as
the zinc is removed from solution, sui
uhuric acid is formed and the solution
leaving the cells is low in zinc and high
In acid content. This solution becomes
the teaching solution in the teaching
division. In the casting division, the
zinc cathode sheets are melted and
cast into commercial shapes, princi-
pally 5O-pound slabs The purest zinc
is $3.50 plus, percent zinc.

lis OPERATING
OPEN PIT AT
.JARDNE MINE

A description Of open pit operation
at the Jardine mine, near Gardiner
north entrance to Yellowstone park
was contained In q special edition Of
the Gardiner Gateway Gazette, ISSUED
for the mining association convention
at Cooke City. The Jardine mine Is
one of the outstanding gold properties
in the state The Gazette states that
the open pit is yielding $40 tons OF
ore per day and this will be increased
to 300 tons. The underground work
ings are yielding about 100 tons per
day.
paying ore was found from the
time the pit was opened with ore in
sight. 1t was even possible on the
surface to pan free gold out of the
dirt.
THE pit has been worked for the
past three months and 5000 tons of ore
are in sight now. At the present time
the pit is 40 feet deep and 60 feet
wide. A crew of three men, one on
a power shovel, one blasting and drill
ing are employed with four trucks
the ore to the mill
The cost of taking out the ore from
the open pit is considerably less than
the underground working. Ore running
a minimum of $3.50 a ton may be
worked at a profit in the open pit as
to a minimum of Sc per ton
ore for the underground.
A new road which was built during
the past summer to the open pit has
several prospective ore bod
les which will be opened for pit OPP
Grafton.
Present operations are being con-
Quoted for the handling of low-grade
ore by more economical methods.
During the past winter and spring,
totaling over $4,000 were
made in the Jardine property. Includ-
ed in the investment was the replace
ment of the old copper plates in the
flotation process to an Impact Anal
gamator, the increasing Of the capa-
city of the ore bin from $50 tons to
400 tons, the addition of new CLASH
fer two $50 ton ball mills a thickener
and filter.

CRAIG WANTS SPEED

County Commissioner Craig this week
is in the middle of "hurry up campaign
which may prove to be Key Vests last
chance of getting an immediate federal
grant for improvement of Overseas High
way.
Although reasonably sure of favorable
from the bureau. xof public
roads, the Monroe county project apparent
ly has never gone that far because it has not
had the proper recommendations from war
and navy departments. With the money
running rapidly out to other projects, it is
up to Craig to attempt to rush through
quick approval making it possible for the
public roads bureau to act.
The system apparently calls for ap-
proval of the project by the navy COM
mandant's and army post commanders of
fees here, further approval from their dis
trict and corps area headquarters, with
final approval from the navy and war de-
partments in Washington.
Granted all that, the project goes to
the bureau of public roads as a necessary
military highway, eligible for 100 per cent
federal financing, provided all available
money has not been spent while the project
was awaiting its various approvals. ssq
Although there is no possibility of his
getting action in time to get the particular
funds at which the county commission is
shooting, Chamber of Commerce Secretary
Stephen c. Singleton has launched cam
paign Of his own to iron out at least one of
those delays for the benefit of future pro-
jects.
IF Florida's Washington delegation is
able to get action in the old campaign to
bring the headquarters of the Seventh
Naval district back to Key West, then, &C
cording to Singleton, there would be one
less holdup along the road to the capital.
It'sounds like logical answer.

is THE AXIS SHORT OF OIL.

Everybody is entitled to speculate
upon the course of the war and to explain"
what happens and what fails to happen. ,
The mystery of the war that fascinates
us is the failure of the Italian air force to
become serious factor in the Mediter-
ranean and, if the course of the war is
studied, the failure of Germany to develop
heavier air attack upon the British Isles.
We heard great stories about, the Ger
man air-arm before the war began. In fact,
we are still hearing them from such experts
as COL Lindgergh and Major Williams.
Military experts gave Germany four-to-
one advantage over the British in the air
and, yet, there is nothing to indicate that
the Germans are able to use their superior
ity effectively against the British. This, to
us, is a mystery.
Consider the case of Benito Mussolini,
whose cohorts are having tough shedding in
Africa and Albania. Nowhere has Italian
aircraft exerted preponderant power in
support of the Fascist soldiers There are re-
ports from Africa that Italian planes were
destroyed on the ground, that trucks were
dls sHuOHCu OH IIlG highways WltHoub AdSf.
This certainly indicates that MussoliEi is
short of fuel.
Here we have two mysteries, both
centering upon the failure of the Axis,
powers to utilize air forces that were con-
sidered overwhelming. What is the reason?
Can it be that the Axis powers are short of
fuel oil?
Consider, next, Adolf Hitler, whose
air force Is regarded as the dominant Of
fensive weapon of the entire struggle. Not
only has the Luftwaffe failed to risk an all
out aerial offensive against Great Britain
but Germany, apparently. hasn't any oil to
spare to Mussolini Moreover. there has
been tardy arrival of German airplanes
to bolster the beaten Italians.
The idea that the Axis powers are
short of fuel oil may be nonsence but the
willingness of Hitler to risk trouble in the
Balkans by occupying Rumania is general
Is explained as step to safeguard the vital
oil resources of that country, Moreover, the
British action in breaking off diplomatic
relations with Rumania. which may lead
to hostilities. may be likewise explained by
the desirability of bombing Rumania oil
fields. now the chief source of fuel oil for
the Axis nations.

ABOUT WORLD PEACE

Editor, The Citizen:
When our President batter No.
l publicly stated that world
power is Roosevelt's aim, not Hit
ler's", his audience ate it up.
Why not? Wien he addressed
them in Chicago and referred to
the frightful bombings of Eng
lish cities, they cheered and APP
plauded in the good n-American
way. When he addressed a New
York rally and proclaimed Eng
land doomed, they again rent
the roof-and the airwaves as
well.
And now the mighty Lindbergh
impeaches our President while
letting Hitler escape scot free.
Of course, the dictator who has
invaded practically every coun-
try in Europe has no intention
of ruling the worldl But the facts
speak otherwise. 'Mein Kampf''
openly proclaims world rule by
war as Germany's destiny. Hit
ler's press proclaims it. So does
he, telling the world that it is too
small for both democracy and
dictatorship. Zone must go'.
Streets in Germany are named
after the assassin of Dollfuss, be-
cause that Hitler-approved as
sassination made one step to
world rule possible. The brutal
overnight destruction by air of
10000 citizens of Rotterdam was
another step. But why rehearse
the story? We all know it.
Surely even Lindbergh must-if
he has a heart.
