Diamond drilling at the Midas
Gold Mining and Milling Company
property, south of Libby, has prov

This information was contained in
letter to Spokane people by STEM
strom Brothers, who have been les
sees of the property for the past
two years. The letter by the STEM

report.
Ore from development only was
put through the MILL" writes Lloyd
Stenstrom in behalf of the firm.
With it was considerable waste.
The extraction was satisfactory
From this test run we have shipped
$1,000 in free gold to the United
States mint. The concentrate is
running in excess of 500 to the

The tungsten value has not been
ascertained, but when sufficient
quantity is in storage to be run for

Brown Subdues SoqIe
To Win 20

The long, lean, left arm of Cliff
Brown applied a beautiful coat of
WhiteWash to the Sagle team Sum-
day and his team mates collected
enough hits and runs to put Libby
IN front as the game ended 2 to O.
Brown was in rare form, allowing
only three scattered hits, and was
never III any sort of trouble. Only
once did Sagle threaten and then a
snappy double play cut their run
ners down. 1t was pitchers dual
all the way and Turnbull performed
we'll enough to win most games.
However, Libby made its five hits
count and really played fine ball.
They counted one run in the first
inning when Jimmy Bowen, first
man up, struck out but beat the
throw to first as the catcher drop
ped the ball; he was safe at second
on an error and scampered to third
for stolen base and came home
on an infield out. No more scoring
was done until the ninth stanza
when Diester, who had singled, stole
second and Manager Cormier STEP
ped up to the plate and crashed his
second hit okthe day, driving Die
ster home.
After much juggling Of players
and positions, it seems that Cormier
has finally found the winning COM
bination. Diester, a made over third
baseman, rounds out the infield and
Cormier has stepped into the spot
behind the plate and handled the
pitching Sunday without q sign OF
an error.
Libby plays Boomers Ferry on the
home lot next Sunday and Brown
- again slated % DO the rhounyf
duty He will naturally be out to
avenge the Is to trouncing they
accorded him at Bonners in the
first game of the season, and it
ought to be game we'll worth at
tending.

Restricted Zones
Reduce Donger

During the past week the city
has had sidewalk corners at inter-
sections in the business district
painted SO as to indicate no park
ing zones. This is wise safety pre-
caution. The public had become ac-
customed to parking too close to
corners with the result that often
it was difficult for one driving
through an intersection to see on
coming cars, which provided good
set-up for an accident. The paint
ing OF the restricted zones will do
away with this danger.

Commissioners Want
u. S. to Pay on Govt.

SURPLUS COMMODITIES
STORES CLOSE JULY 10

The chief topic of discussion al
the meeting twas a movement under
way to secure legislation whereby
the federal government would pay
to counties what might be called 6
tax on federaliy owned lands ly.
ing within the counties affected
This would apply to both forest
and Indian lands" said County
Commissioner James Mahoney in
speaking of the state convention oil
county commissioners held at Hell
ena last week.
The commissioners went def
nitely on record as favoring such
legislation" continued Mr.. Maho-
ney. This movement is not intend
ed as an attack on the forest serv-
ice or any other government owned
land but only as method whereby
counties in which there are areas
of government land may obtain
some relief. Take Lincoln county
as an example. Here government
land comprises about rs per cent
of the entire county. The remain
ing % per cent must bear most OF
the cost OF county government II
the proposed legislation is enacted
by congress, it would mean that
about $125,00O would come into
Lincoln county Golfers each year.
That would be great assistance to
local taxpayers. 1t is being real
lied more and more by the federal
government that government activ-
tiles, such as the Gees and SIM
liar undertakings, are placing quite
an expense on the counties There
fore the government should help to
meet the cost An association
known as the Western Taxpayers
Association is working to get this
legislation through congress. In
commissioners sent q delegate to
Reno New, to attend a meeting OF
that association"
Governor Ford addressed the
meeting and said he intended to
take up the work of simplifying
state government He said there
are too many boards and commits
sions and that it is becoming quite
heavy burden on small business
concerns to keep up the necessary
reports and give the time necessary
to devote to them. The Governor
hopes to reduce the number of such
boards, thereby saving much in
state expense
The new relief administrator also
addressed the gathering. He said
the present surplus commodities
stores will be closed about July
10. They will be superseded by the
food stamp plan, which is now GO
ing into operation all over the state.
A representative of the govern
ment spoke on the setting up of To-
cal defense boards in each county
and told what is expected of them.
Much other business was transact
ed by the convention, said Mr.. Ma

farmers In
State Greatly
Aided By FCA
Loans Enable Them to
Increase Net Income by
About So Per Cent.
HELPING RENTERS TO
PURCHASE OWN HOMES

In letter to the newspapers OF
Montana, c. H. Wilson, regional
director of the Farm Security Ad-
ministration, tells of progress made
in providing better living conditions
for parts OF our farm population
Mr.. Wilson says.
We have just completed special
survey undertaken last winter to
measure the progress being made by
borrowers from the Farm Security
Administration. 1t indicates the
gains in terms of money, living
standards, and capacity for self
support which have been made dur
ing 1910 by handicapped and low
income farm people all over the
country. 1t occurred to me that you
might be interested In seeing the
figures for the State of Montana.
In Montana there were 1881 ac-
tive standard rehabilitation borrow
ers at the end Of 1910. The survey
showed that the average borrower
earned a net income OF $1,204 dur
ing the year, as compared with
$788 in the year before he borrowed
from Farm Security. In other words,
the typical family increased its an
nual income by So per cent, This
means that Farm Security Dor
rowers in Montana have increased
their total annual incomes by ST.
l98,784 since coming on the pro-
gram. Naturally this growth in pros
perity and purchasing power has
been reflected on the books OF
merchants and other businessmen
OF the state.
Arc kep4ying Leans
We were pleased to find that
borrowers IN your state are rapidly
repaying their rehabilitation loans.
Already s., 409, 80 has been repaid
oh 1oa11 t6t1lihE 50, 413;oel, 1t
though much OF the money does
not fall due for four or five years.
Throughout the entire country. re-
Mobilization loans totaling $40. 1865
O50 had been made as of Decem-
Der 81, 1910, and SAG, 626, 422 of
this sum had been repaid. AS you
know, loan funds currently are ad-
vanced by the Reconstruction Fl
nance Corporation, instead of COM
ing from direct appropriations
In view of the fact that none of
the borrowers from Farm Security
was able to get adequate credit any
where else, and that many of them
formerly were on relief, we feel that
this repayment record is tribute
to the honesty and industry of these
needy farm people. There is ample
evidence that the great majority of
them are getting back on their feet
and becoming permanently self
supporting. In large measure, this
progress is due to the advice and
technical guidance in sound farm
and home management which ac-
companies each Farm Security loan.
For example, we encourage our
borrowers to get away from one
crop farming-particularly of sur
plus crops, such as cotton, tobac-
co, and wheat-and to raise as much
as possible of their own food and
feed for their livestock. During
1910. the average Farm Security
family IN your state produced 1924
worth OF goods for home consump-
ton, as compared with sos before
they came into the FSA program.
This produce for home use includ-
ed 37l gallons Of milk per family;
403 pounds of meat; and 248 quarts

day he's supposed to box four rounds
with one "Powerhouse" johnson,
supplied as a sparmate through the
courtesy of Billy Edwards. This
morning he was supposed to be on
the road at sunrise, beating his way
around Potomac Park for miles
or so.
Conn's lack of killing punch is
the factor Hassett's handlers are
counting on to help their boy make
a fight of it. Danny looked good in
training at Madame Bey's camp,
looked better than Gus Dorazio,
whom he was helping hone for his
bout with Louis. they say. and will
be at his best for Conn. The young
Irishman knows a lot of rough
stuff. acquired in the city of the
'brotherly shove" although he al
ways fought cleanly in previous ap-
pearanceS here and his hackers say
he'll make it uncomfortable for Conn
for several rounds, at least.
Conn Greatly Uninterested.
Appraised of this state of affairs
in New York, Conn is reported to
have dashed off to neighborhood
movie to look at some more Louis
fight pictures. The Pittsburgh sling
shot artist is making a mental
photograph of the titleholder's every
motion, feints, follow through. etc,
and carefully filing it away in the
back of his head for future refer
ence. Whether this will be of any
value in the HaSsett struggle is con-
jectural. but he figures it can't hurt
him any.
Whether or not you like the main
bout Thursday you can't help liking
the supporting card Willie Paw
