UNWATERNG
HUGHESVILLE
BLOCK P MINE

A giant electric pump is hurting a
veritable river Of water out Of the
Block P mine OF st. Joseph Lead COM
pany at HugheSville, as the 1.400-foOt
mine Is being unwatered preparatory
10 the resumption of mining
Unwatering the first 100 feet re-
quired more than a week owing to the
mile-long drift at that level and it
viii probably require three months
or more to complete the task Of pump
ing down to the lower levels owing to
the large volume of water contained
in the slopes and drifts Of the lower
levels.
Miners will start work on the vari-
Gus levels as rapidly as the mine Is
unwatered. Plans call for not only the
mining of the large amount of blocked
out ore but for deepening the main
shaft to possibly open up rich copper
ore now indicated, which copper Is
needed urgently by the government.
The new steel headframe has been
completed, the camp and mill have
been completely overhauled and re-
paired and the mill is ready for OPP
Grafton. The construction Of steel ore
bin is yet to be completed, likewise
the two-compartment shaft. A crew
of more than so men is now employed
and this number will be gradually in
creased as mining operations open up.

WIDE VEIN OF
MANGANESE ORE
AT HUNTSVILLE

Government engineers are reported
studying a 46-foot vein Of manganese
ore opened in the mine Of w. r.
Harner and Zion Davis at Hughes
vile, near Neihart. II the vein con-
tinues to depth it is believed to be
one Of the most important manganese
deposits IN Montana other than the
Emma mine Of the Anaconda Copper
Mining Co. at Butte.
The vein contains ore running from
10 to 1872 percent manganese and was
encountered about 200 feet from the
portal of a tunnel intended to tap
vein OF galena. The tunnel was
run 700 feet back into the mountain
but it now appears that the manganese
may be more important than the
silver-lead ore. The vein has been
sampled by government engineers and
it Is probable that it will be diamond
drilled to determine the depth Of the
deposit which probably
caps vein Of zinc-silver-lead ore.
1t is understood that there is also
a quantity of undeveloped manganese
ore in the Block P mine which is now
being unwatered, but the amount has
not been determined.

Swift Market Gain
In all these years the use of chrome
has been extended and expanded so
that by 1893 the consumption Of chro-
MUM ores in the United States
equalled half Of the whole worlds sup
ply This country was, however, in
the ridiculous position of having hun
dreds of millions of dollars invested
in manufacturing enterprise in which
practically no domestic source of sup
ply of raw materials existed This
condition was repeatedly and frequent
ly brought to the attention of our
government authorities in Washing

with the result that the federal gov
eminent is today obliged to spend a
good many million dollars more than

find Germany making increasingly
determined demands upon Turkey for
cooperation in order that Germany
may secure supplies Of this essential

Hope Seen for
More Steel for
GOLd-SiLUer Mines

The priorities system as now en-
ployed will prove ruinous to gold and
silver mining, according to Montana
operators, who are unable to get steel
for any repairs or new equipment
Possible encouragement is contained in
the statement of Priorities Director
Donald M. Nelson at Washington, that
the entire priorities system must be
changed to avoid the national dis
aster" of destroying small business
men.
Under the priorities system, com
panies that are given equal priority
ratings still are not assured Of ma
terials but must scramble among them
selves to obtain them. So many prior
tiles have been issued, the system is
breaking down.
The eventual closing of mines other
than those producing strategic min
erals must follow continued refusal Of
the priorities director to grant steel
to mines.

GASOLINE TAX
TOTALS MOUNT
TO HIGH FIGURE

Taxes equal to almost half OF the
value Of all the real estate Ia the
entire state of Montana have been
paid by highway users of the state
since the advent Of the motor vehicle"
@. G. Stevenson, secretary, Montana
Petroleum Industries committee, said
today In a statement pointing out the
enormous benefits property owners
have received from automotive taxes
The value Of any property depends
largely upon its accessibility BY pay
ing millions Of dollars to build good
roads the motorists of this state have
provided great benefits and improve
ments to virtually every piece of prop
erty in Montana In the rural areas
highway transportation has removed
the isolation of the farm, shortening
the distance, as measured In time, TO
town and market. In populated areas
highway transportation has made
homes more accessible to jobs, schools
and shopping centers. Also, highway
transportation has facilitated the flow
of milk and other products Of the
farm to homes in the cities. It also
has made the country accessible for
relaxation and recreation to the fam
lilies living in urban homes.
Property owners, without question,
are one of the principal beneficiaries
from the tax dollars of the motorists
spent in facilitating highway construc-
ton in this state Montana has been
lifted out Of the mud, providing new
accessibility unparalleled in the whole
history of the world
'Tt is to be noted, however, that
Uncle Sam takes a large percentage
Of the taxes paid on gasoline used by
Montana motorists.
Last year the federal gasoline tax
rate was increased to II cents per
gallon which, with the state tax Of
5 cents, makes total of 81 cents in
taxes paid on each gallon of motor
fuel consumed in operating motor We
nicles upon the public highways. The
federal governments share, therefore,
IS % percent of the overall levy"
