Chrome Found
By GeOphysics in
NatrOna County

AS part of the investigation of do
nestle deposits of strategic minerals
by the Geological Survey, United
States Department of the Interior,
the chromite deposits Of Casper Noun
tain, in Natrona County, Wyo., have
recently been studied by E. L. Ste
phenson and H. K. Stephenson of the
Survey. The rocks in this district are
poorly exposed, but the magnetic
properties of the ron-rich chromite
made it possible to supplement the
usual geological mapping with mag
netometer surveys In this way, areas
containing chromite were outlined as
a guide to the detailed trenching and
diamond drilling which have been
done by the Bureau of Mines
The chromite at Casper Mountain
occurs in nearly vertical. roughly tab
ular bodies of talcose schist, which are
surrounded by igneous rocks, including
quartz monzonite, metadiorite, and
amphibolite A similar lens Of quartz
mica schist, which crops out nearby,
IS barren of chromite. The largest
mass Of chromite- bearing schist is
1850 feet long and from 100 to 400
feet wide. It narrows downward, but
diamond drilling has shown that in
one place it extends to depth Of at
least 500 feet.

in their wardrobes to eliminate buying
anything made with or from vital war
materials which they can get along
without, to help win the peace.
They are learning to make their old
clothes look like new through a
thimbleful OF dressmakers' alteration
and restyling tricks-such as lengthen-
ing or shortening hens or sleeves in
dresses, skirts and coats; eliminating
''bagginess" at the back. taking in
waists, and retaining used wool gar
ments. So that time will be used to
best advantage in war work, however.
the clubsters are considering the fol-
lowing points before altering and re-
styling garments: Is the original
fabric good enough to survive the
change? Is the color becoming-if not,
can it be dyed? Is the style adaptable
to the change?
The girls are receiving training in
