BenbOIU ChrOnlite
Is Being Shipped
From Columbus

COLUMBUS - Initial deliveries OF
chrome concentrates from the Benbow
mine at Dean in saltwater county were
made at Columbus, the railroad ship
ping point. There had previously been
some shipments of the regular ore,
which went to Butte for tests.
The concentrate material, delivered
from Dean to Columbus by truck, was
described as looking like cinders with
jewels in it," The bright metal, free
or in combination with other elements
and rejecting light from crystalline
surfaces, probably accounted for the
impression of "jewels."
Chrome is decidedly critical metal
in the production of war munitions.
With foreign sources shut off, the fed
eral government authorized develop

Of a series that stretch across con-
siderable part Of southern Montana

PHOSPHATE ORE
PRODUCTION is
ON INCREASE

WASHINGTON r. Sayers, d.
rector Of the United States bureau Of
mines, reported Montana and Idaho
mines participated In 1941 In the big
gest yearly production Of phosphate
rock TO date, with an increase Of 81
percent over 1910 to break all records
for national production.
Montana producers listed were the
Montana Phosphate Products Co. Of
Trail, B. c., and the Mineral Hill Min

pany was handled by the Anaconda
Copper Mining Co., at its Anaconda
Mont, smelter.
The Anaconda Copper Mining CO.
was the only phosphate producer in
Idaho
Montana and Idaho ranked third
and fourth in national production of
phosphate rock, behind Florida and
Tennessee.
Montana produced los ,1O8 long tons
in 1941, compared with a production
Of 64,239 long tons in 1910.
Idaho production, however, fell off
during the year from 80 ,088 long tons

PriOrities Only
For Mines With
Serial Numbers

Special reference to gold and silver
mines has been eliminated from Pref
erence Rating order P-56, which
grants high priority ratings for mining
machinery and equipment, the War
Production board announced.
In the March 2 amendment to the
order, high ratings we're denied to
mines producing more than 80 percent
in value Of gold or silver. Available
to such mines were A-10 ratings under
Order P-1O0 or other ratings they
might receive on PD-1A applications.
This percentage is now removed.
AS now amended, the order provides
that the high preference ratings which

operators with serial numbers, which
are granted by the Director Of Indus

Urge Tariff Bars
Be Maintained

Opposition of the Mining Association
Of Montana to any plan to remove
tariff on minerals extending beyond
the war period was expressed in the
hearing on the Mexico and Bolivia
trade agreements, held by the Com
mittee for Reciprocity Information at
Washington, D. G.
The formal statement was presented
through Julian D. Conover, secretary
Of American Mining Congress. He
agreed that tariff duties NAV be re-
moved for the duration of the war. If
such action is needed to assist the
war program but pointed out that
the government may purchase mineral
products from the western hemisphere
or other foreign sources at whatever
prices 1t deems expedient and that If
duties are paid the money simply goes
from one government pocket into an
other.
This Is one Of the subjects that re-

Inc MiSsOur1an says Seeing is be-

see, and how much of what you see
do you retain more than a moment
after you have seen It? All Of you
have probably had the experience of
looking at your watch and then being
unable to tell your companion the
hour by the time your watch has set

You must develop the use of your

are to contribute your best to victory.
How? Well, today as you walk through
your mine or mill or plant, stop and
study your electrical equipment. Look
carefully at the following items, at
least.
Ask yourself these questions.
Motors
Is the oil up to level?
Are the oil rings turning freely2
Are bearing openings covered to keep
out dirt?
Are the bearings and end bells COW

bearings?
Is the winding covered with oil and
dirt?
Is the shaft floating back and forth
and hitting the thrust shoulderP
Are the foundation bolts loose?
Is the belt or chain too loose or too
tight?
Are things piled around the motor
thereby cutting off ventilationP
What else do you see that doesn't
look right?
Motor Starters
Are the covers closed to keep out
dirt and insure proper functioning of
the thermal overload protection2
Are the heaters" correct for the
motor they protect?
Is the starter clean2
Are the contacts clean and smooth

Do any parts appear "jimmied"
which might prevent proper operation?
Are the daShpots on the plunger-
