Montana Is Chief
Source of JeWeL
Bearings for u. S.

The current issue of the Mineral
Trade Notes published by the U. S.
Bureau of Mines. discusses Montana
sapphire production in connection with
the need of jewel bearings for military
purposes. 1t says:
Natural sapphires and rubies for
industrial use have been produced
chiefly in Thailand (Siam), Ceylon,
and India, but substantial quantities
can be mined in Australia and Mon
tana. The Montana sapphires are
rather pale in color with a steely
luster, and are recovered with some
rubies from stream gravels and are
also mined from basic igneous dixie
In 1910 Montana produced about 1880
troy ounces Of sapphires (about 1929
pounds) valued at about $1,000. Only
a few Of the stones were suitable for
jewelry; the rest have been employed
mdustrially. Sapphires were first found
in Montana in 1865, by placer miners
in their sluice boxes along the Mis-
souri, river. Later, in the 1905 sap
phires were found in a dixie. During
some years as much as rs percent Of
the production by weight was shipped
to Switzerland"

SAYS
Varieties of
Motor Starters

! The selection OF the proper motor
starter is often confusing problem
TO the operator, If he does not clearly
understand the function and operation
Of the many varieties available. Per-
hapS rather homely automobile anal
ogies win throw some light.
Full voltage starters, commonly
called nnestarters or acroSs-the-line
starters, either manual or magnetic,
connect the motor directly to the sup
ply circuit In one operation. This is
roughly the equivalent of putting your
car in high gear, racing the motor,
and dropping in the clutch. If you
have good clutch, and your car is
lightly loaded and on smooth, level
ground. you win start off without too
much distress. With a heavily loaded
car, or on rough roads, or uphill, the
start would severely stress your car
and very probably cause trouble
AS stated in a previous article, a
10 horsepower motor starting across
the-line draws approximately go or 20
horsepower from the source of supply
momentarily. If your source Of supply
Is from a public utility with thousands
OF horsepower In back of your switch,
this heavy starting load may cause
momentary flicker of a nearby light,
but the motor digs in its toes and
away it goes with its load. But If your
source of supply is a small isolated
plant, the shock of starting across
the-line usually disrupts the service.
Next weeks article win give the sizes
Of motors that can be started on small
electric plants.
Reduced voltage starters, commonly
called auto-Starters or compenSators,
connect the motor to a transformer to
reduce the voltage when thrown to
the starting position and across-the- !
line in the running position. If you
can remember the Model T Ford on
which you pushed the clutch pedal
down to start in low gear and let it
come back for high gear, you have a
very good comparison IF the Model T
was loaded down, you had to hold
down the clutch pedal longer to get
going. When starting a heavily loaded
motor with compensation, hold 1t In
starting position longer to give the
motor a chance to get going.
The reduced voltage applied to the
motor during the starting period ma
,erially decreases the strain on the
equipment being started as well as re-
iucing the starting current.

NATURAL GAS
REPLACES COKE
SMELLING IRON

OF interest to those planning the
development of iron ore deposits IN
the Running Wolf district south OF
Great Falls is the development Of a
process described by W. G. Clark for
the reduction of iron ore with natural
gas. According to Clark this process
may be used In areas lacking coke.
which Is used to reduce the ore. Mon
tana has coking coal but 1t contains
sulphur and none has evolved a for
mula for removing the sulphur. There
IS an unlimited supply of natural gas
in Montana. Clark explains that the
results of extensive laboratory and
pilot plant experiments indicate that
natural gas can satisfactorily reduce
iron ore, especially the California ores
with which he experimental.
Essentially the process described con-
sistS Of roasting the ore at 1900 degrees
F. to eliminate any combined water.
From the rooster the hot ore is sent
to reduction stack, where it moves
downward commencement to hot rising
reducing gases containing uncracked
hydrocarbons and hydrogen liberated
by the cracking of some Of the gas
fractions. Hydrogen, residual gas frac-
tons and water vapor arising from the
reduction process are led from the
stack to a waste heat boiler and sub
sequently to a condenser where the
water is eliminated and the hydrogen
containing gas returned to the reduc- |
ton stacks for its further reducing |
effect on the ore.
According to the author, the reduc-
ton is complete on southern Califor-
MIA hematite and magnetic ores, Is
inch to h-inch In lump sizes, within
81 hours at 1900 degrees F.
A natural gas containing IS percent
nethane, z percent ethane and z per-
cent heavier material has been sue
used in the successful labor
ltory reduction of zinc oxide, according
o H. A. Doerner.

Journal:
For years the people Of Minnesota
have spent considerable money to de.
velop a process to utilize the million

Mesabi and Guyana iron ranges n
northern Minnesota. After many years
Of research Dean E. w. Davis and his
efficient staff from the University
school of Mines have been successful
in perfecting such a process.
These days we hear and read a great
deal about the StaSsen Resource COM
mittee Of Minnesota headed by n. J.

interest the national defense commits
sion to establish large manganese
plant on the Guyana range to concen-
trate low-grade ores.
Since 1886 the undersigned headed
group of independent natural gas
producers who we're trying to secure
federal funds to construct a natural
gas pipeline from Montana and Wyo-
ming to Minnesota and Wisconsin. This
pipeline would be reality today if it
were not for the opposition Of selfish
interests of Minnesota and the Min
neapolis Civic e. Commerce associa-
ton Of which H. J. Miller was then
vice president, and Lester Badger now

According to Dean Davis and other
experts, low-grade ores cannot be

If this pipeline was built and natural
gas available in northern Minnesota
there would be no difficulty during
this emergency to get several large

Dear Mr.. DeSchon:
That is an interesting story in your
Feb. 81 issue about the discovery of
! Cat Greek. Il just got around to it
| today)
I think your informant, Mr.. Dicker-
son, was confused on one point. In
column three, second full paragraph,
it is asserted that Frank Frantz
passed away shortly thereafter" the
discovery of the Cat Greek field, which
discovery was in February, 1920
Former Governor Frantz died In 1871
in Tulsa He maintained headquarters
of the Frantz OH Corp in Denver for
several years after the Cat Greek dis
covery, then moving to Tulsa. His
health was not good for several of
his later years but he was fairly active
in the Mid-Continent until shortly be-
fore his death, on March 8, 1941. 1
have checked the date with Orville
Frantz, brother of the captain, who
lives in Tulsa.
thought you might like to have
this information for your records in
the event it ever comes up again, as
Captain Frantz does occupy a rather
prominent place among the oil pioneers
of Montana. He was the last territorial
governor of Oklahoma territory, leav-
ing the office when Oklahoma and
indian territories were Joined to form
the state of Oklahoma in 1907.

Regarding Mr.. Goddard'S con1lden-

say that I do not think he spent

on this trip, just how much time they
did spend on this property"
Han Clements, who knows absolute
ly nothing about the property and
who has written the Journal asking for
maps and reports, said that Goddard
and his assistant went out to the
properties on three successive days)
"One thing that don't like about
all this discussion about this iron

Proposes Bill
To Change Tax On
Capital Gains

Congressman Boland Of Pennsyl
vania has introduced a bill to amend
the capital gains and losses tax. Thai
bill should be passed for two reasons
To spur industrial expansion, and Il
produce additional tax revenue fol-
government.
The great fault in the capital gains
tax, in the words of Congressman
Celler Of New York, sis to prevent the
investment of capital In new enter
priSes." 1t makes for extreme conser-
vatism in investment, and tends to
dry up the supply of that risk capital
which is indispensable for new indus
trial development.
There is a world of difference be-
tween a fair and equitable income tax
based on earnings from capital, as
contrasted with a tax on the growth
in value of capital itself. The capital
gains" tax might better be called
penalty" tax on management, enter
prise and savings. 1t discourages an
investor from risking his capital with
the hope of increasing it and making
two dollars work and produce taxable
income where but one dollar worked
to produce tax revenue before. AS Sen
ator Connally explained the matter,
I'm the case of ordinary income the
taxpayer has to pay the tax; he has
no choice. But in the case Of capital
gains if the holder does not sell.
you do not get any tax. We should
make 1t more attractive to a small
man to sell instead of offering him a
premium to hold"
This country needs maximum indus
trial development-and it also needs
maximum tax revenue. The new bill
would help to achieve both those vital
