MANGANESE OF
Low GRADE MAY
BE ALLOWABLE

/ A change In specifications for do
lmestic manganese ore may result IN
more extensive development Of man
/ Ranese deposits in Montana, according
/ to a letter received by the Journal
from Senator James E. Murray of
Montana, who has proposed the down.
ward revision of the present require
ment Of 48 percent metallic manganese
content, as was done in the case of
foreign manganese.
The senator enclosed copies Of CORES
pondence with Jesse II. Jones Of the
Federal Loan agency, in which he rec
commended that Metals Reserve COM
pany start buying for stockpile pur-
poses domestic manganese ores run
ming 40 percent and above metallic
manganese.
If ores running 4S percent are de-
sired, then the RFC should make
available to substantial outfits money
with which to build beneficiating
plants at points in the United States
where sufficient ore Of domestic origin
running 40 percent metallic manganese
becomes available"
Senator Murray enclosed a plan for
government purchase Of small lots of
manganese ore. This report shows that
samples of two or more tons have been
taken by the Bureau of Mines from
100 out of 375 known deposits Of man
ganeSe ores. Most Of these deposits
are small and can best be prospected
and developed at the same time. The
same plan would apply to anthony
ores, of which there are three principal
deposits in Montana.
Purchasing centers would be estab-
lished where beneficiating or teaching
plants could be profitably installed A
sliding scale of prices based on man
ganese content Of the ore and cost of
treatment would be guaranteed for a
period of not less than three years.
The ore would be sampled at the mines
prior to shipment. Senator Murray
would select a trial area to put the
plan in operation. He believes that
considerable ore could be secured of
plus 40 percent manganese content re-
quiring little or no treatment.
The plan has been submitted to Carl
j. Trauerman, president OF the Mining
Association of Montana, and the Works
Progress administration which agen-
cies are expected to cooperate in the
opening of Montana manganese mines
should the proposed plan be approved
The lowering of specifications on for
eign manganese ore makes it almost
certain, local mining men believe, that
the domestic producers win not be de-
MED the same advantage.

WASHINGTON-Senator Joseph c.

that biologists and economists of sew

data on the potential defense resources
of western states for presentation to
a special senate committee studying
mineral development in the west.
OMahoney is chairman of the COM

east is hindering development of
valuable defense resources in the vast
western plains and mountain areas.
Hearings intended to determine
means of discovering and developing
effectively these deposits of metals. gas

OMahoney said, with witnesses prob

INVITES MINING
MEN TO OBSERVE
DISCOVERY DATE

Charles r. Brazier of Helena stopped
in Great Falls enroute to Shelby to
give further details regarding the an
nual picnic of the Last Chance Gulch
Mining association to be held next
Monday at the Perry Schroeder dredge
camp at Eldorado Bar on the border
of Lake Hauser. This event will cele-
brate the nth anniversary Of gold dis
coyery by the -Four Georgians" in the
Last Chance glllch, where the city OF
Helena is now standing.
Mining men will be given oppor-
tunity to see how gold Is now recoV-
cred from the gravels, by comparison
with the methods of the Georg1ans.
The big dredge RECEIVERS sapphires as
well as gold using modern jigs in place
of the rifle boxes Of old.
John Schroeder is president OF the
association and assisting in arrange
ments are w. c. Bardon, Frank c..
Moran, Hugh K. Cav, Jr., and Mr..
Brazier. Ladies are invited to attend.
Brazier, well known mining man,
took a flyer" in oil several years
ago and his trip to the north country
is to straighten up title to some oil
land purchased by him and some as
sociates-a part of the famous Barger
farm. 1t was on this farm that some
of the greatest gushers in the field
were completed back in the days when
the technique of oil production was not
far advanced. The wells turned to
water and there was no way to handle
the fluid. With the coming Of acidiza-
ton and casing pumps and a better
understanding how to handle such
wells, Brazier is figuring on the pos
sibility of re-opening the now idle
Barger pool. No acid has been tried
in the area. 1t is known that if suf-
ficient fluid could be handled these
old wells would produce oil in COM
mercial amounts.

proximately 2 cents a pound over the
standard price.
Under present plans, which the news
paper emphasized were in the study

established for each present producing

OUTPUT. This output would command
the fixed price of II cents and all adj
