Moreover, this would have the
advantage of effecting a union
with the fighting guerrilla units
of General Mihailavich's patriot
army which has caused Hitler SO
much trouble during the past two
years.
The Allies are gradually draw
ing liquid moose around Hitler's
neck as all land exits from Ger
many to the outer world are now
closed except through Russia, or
through Turkey (via Bulgaria).
Turkey, though neutral, UNI
doubtedly is friendly with the
Allies and may yet join them. In
the case of either Turkey or Rus
STA. of course, the route may be
reversed to permit invasion of Eu-

Turkey may be able to give
considerable aid to Russia in the
Black Sea-Caucasus eater,

The American invasion of North
Africa will produce important

The very fact that the United
States Is sending formidable
armies 10 overseas battle zones
to fight in the cause OF Allied vic
tory--and in large enough num-
bers 10 launch major offensive
attacks under American COM
manders-is a demonstration OF
power and purpose which will give
the conquered peoples of Europe
renewed strength and courage foI
battles In which they ultimately
will join to help destroy the mill
tary power OF Hitler's Germany.

Manganese Ore
Production Is
GTOLUing Rapidly

WASHINGTON-Th war produc-
ton board reported remarkable sue
cess" had been achieved In the ex-
pansion Of the domestic output of
manganese with even more encourag-
ing results In prospect for 1913.
Describing manganese as "an alb
solute requirement in every pound Of
steel produced" WPB said this
country must depend on domestic pro-
duction largely from low-grade ore,
to meet IS to 80 percent of its essential
requirements.
BY utilizing new methods Of re-
covering manganese from domestic de-
posits, WPB said, American producers
are obtaining large quantities Of the
vital metal The two most important
domestic projects are in Montana and
Nevada.
Manganese acting as a purifying
agent, makes steel sound and clear
10 pounds Of manganese is
required for every ton Of steel pro
duced.

FIRE PREVENTION WEEK
Oct. all was designated as fire
prevention week. The following list Of
fire "hide-outs" was included In a
recent fire prevention advertisement.
/. Loose electric connections.
2. Worn or frayed electric cords.
3. Insulated cables near hot equip
ment.
4 Unguarded welding operations.
5. Wherever open flames are used.
6. Where static IS generated near
flammable vapors.
T. Bridged fuses.
g. Defective chimney fire ancestors.
g. Wherever workmen smoke.
10. Improperly oiled bearings
IL. Where spontaneous ignition may
occur.
u. Dirty flues and ducts.
IS. Dirty, oily or overloaded motors.
IA. Where light bulbs contact COM
bustibles.
Is. Dipping tanks and cleaning opera
tons using flammable solvents.
Eight of the is "hide-outs" are Of
an electrical nature. Why?
Could you light your plant as safely
by any other means2
Could you motorize your plant as
safely by any other means2
OF course not, but as a result Of the
universal use of electricity for light
and power, fire hazards are created
unless the rules of safety are followed.
For instance, the vast number Of
automobiles in operation has forced the
Of safer cars, so too the
great increase in use of electric motors
in most plants demand greater pro-
tective features and better wiring.
There is hardly a place in your
plant where electricity is not available
for lights or motors.
This readily available electricity is
as convenient to you as Babe" In
every port is to a sailor. but it can be
equally hazardous if you don't watch
your P's and Q's.

USBM Searching
Wyoming For NeW
Critical Metals

CASPER-With the appointment OF
James A. Marsh, formerly chief geo.
logist for Utah Copper Co., as district
engineer Of the United States bureau
of mines for Utah and Wyoming
field work has been stepped up In
these two states in the exploration for
critical and essential minerals. He has
a staff of is examining engineers. A
number of examiners are being made
in wyoming. A survey Of mine access
roads was completed recently by Sam
uel Hendricks of the Salt Lake office
and many of the roads requested have
been approved for construction. The
Rambler copper property in Albany
County is being diamond drilled. other
work is under way and new projects
are being undertaken as soon as the
bureau engineers can get to them.

Prospect Near
Libby Shouting
Tungsten Ores

LIBBY-H. E. Brink reports that be
has opened up some tungsten bearing
ore on his mine property on Prospect
creek. He recently had some Of the
ore analysed and 1t definitely showed
a tungsten content.
A new and interesting method is
now being used to determine whether
ore has tungsten in 1t. It Is the
tungsten lamp, which is nothing more
nor less than the violet ray. The ray
passes through the quartz and most
metals. and clearly defines the lungs
ten If there is any In the ore.
Tungsten Is very much In demand
these days. 1t is used to harden and
tougher steel and with the vast
quantities Of steel now being used in
the manufacture Of war equipment,
the need for tungsten Is almost I'M
limited. It win be remembered that
when the old Midas mine was operat-
ing, part Of the values recovered was
tungsten. Reports are to the effect
that operations at the Midas may be
resumed before long IN order TO mine
as much tungsten as possible:

Geo Section
Is MOUed Into
Mines Bureau

Secretary of the Interior Harold L.
Ickes has transferred the Geophysical
Section of the Geological Survey to the
Bureau of Mines in move to expedite
the nationwide search for critical min
erals needed in the war program, it
was announced by DR.. r. r. Sayers,
Director of the Bureau Of Mines.
In becoming a part Of the Bureaus
recently streamlined Resources and
Laboratories service, the new unit will
be known as the Division of Geophysi-
cal Exploration and its personnel will
continue and intensity the hunt for
domestic minerals which can be used
to produce the metals for planes,
tanks, guns, ships and other war ma
terials, DR.. Sayers said.
Since 1899 when the investigation Of
domestic sources Of strategic and crtti-
cal minerals was inaugurated as a de-
tense and war measure, the Geo.
physical section Of the survey has CO.
operated closely with the bureau Of
mines in locating deposits, according
to secretary Ickes, and the joint eff
fort has to its credit a number Of i'm
portant discoveries Of chromite, man
ganese, tungsten, mercury, and other
ores.
BY the use of highly complicated in
struments, geophysicists are able to To-
cate critical minerals more quickly, to
prevent useless and time-wasting drill
ing in many cases, and to speed up the
exploratory work in general. Demands
for their services within the bureau Of
mines are increasing as the wartime
program gains momentum.
Although the section has been
transferred to the bureau Of mines 1t
will continue to cooperate with the
Geological survey in order that any
needs of the survey for geophysical in
formation may be supplied.
Headquarters of the former Geo
physical section are in Baltimore,
Maryland, although most Of its en-
ployees are in the field in various
parts of the United States. The per-
sonnet totals II persons.

Fell said, continues to be one of keep
ing the independent producer in a
position TO do his most effective work,
for he produces a great portion Of the
crude oil and he finds majority Of
the new fields. It viii be the work
of the Association, composed Of several
thousand Independents, TO point out
all fll-advised restrictions that tend to
prevent the independent producer
from continuing to supply his part Of

Gas RGtiOning
To Be ''TGiLOred"
In This State

HELENA-Leon Henderson, director
of the office of price administration,
informed Gov Sam c. Ford adequate
mileage will be provided for the most
essential purposes regardless Of the
distances involved" in the administra-
ton of gasoline rationing in Montana.
Henderson's letter was in reply to a
letter Governor Ford wrote some time
ago, pointing out that the large dis
tances between points in this state
made it impossible for Montanans to
get along on a small motor fuel ra-
ton. The OPA director pointed out
that farmers and persons working in
mines, among a few others, would be
given ample gasoline to permit them
to carry on their business.

Seeks Relief
For Gold Mines

WASHINGTON - Senator Murray,
D., Mont, said he was drafting a bill
to provide financial relief for gold
mine operators whose properties had
been closed down by the war produc-
ton board.
His bill, he said, would arrange Re
construction Finance Corp. financing
for the "out-of-pocket" expenses Of
such operators in maintaining their
mines during the period Of enforced
idleness.
Cost of pumping water and main
tanning mine workings in shape for
operating after the war, especially"
he said in a statement will be a
tremendous burden on small companies
or individuals whose income has been
totally destroyed by the war produc-
ton boards order"
