 "REMEAEBER- ~
 PEARL HARBOR!" When ABRAHAM LINCOLN called for volunteers to put down rebellion ard save the UNION, , a Waterbury boy of seventeen promptly responded and went over to Hartford to enlist and his father first heard about upon his sons arrival at Annapolis for training.
 The father as mighty proud of his son, whose record for bravery in action in many a bloody battle / of the Civil War was enough to make any father and mother proud.
 And when that "Waterbury boy" reached his "Ninety-fifth year" he entertained a group of High School students at the old Porter homestead.
 On that occasion Wales Porter expressed his faith in the new generation of Americans. "They will rise" said he, Ito the occa- sions, aS their sires and grand sires have. I am sure. AS think of all that has happened during my own lifetime, I wonder what is in store for them. In national affairs I trust that they will hold fast to the example and counsel of Washington and my great and beloved Commander, Abraham Lincoln"
 The "Old Bachelor" vividly re- members the terrible scenes of Saturday, April 18th, 1865 and the solemn words of General James A. Garfield to restrain a million frantic citizens assembled around

 Indeed, WATER B JURY GREEN" is hallowed ground-for here has been enacted many of Americas most stirring and im- portant events, and individual deeds of exalted courage. During the period of the Brit ish occupation of New York in the Revolutionary War, all New Eng land movements of troops and provisions made a grand "detour" via Boston, Hartford, Waterbury and "Break-neck-hill", to Fish kill-on-the- Hudson, opposite West Point.
 That "detour", famous as 'The Old Military Road, ran through the length of WATERBURY GREEN, but the majestic forest of FILMS" that we are now fa- miliar with, did not come till the father of the late beloved WALES PORTER, transplanted the young Slips" from his farm on Chest nut Hill, when WALES" was a very small boy.
 General Washington and Gen. eral Lafayette passed over ''The Old Military Road" on several occasions.
 General Rochambeau and his army made the "detour" via ''The Old Military Road"

Dakota Mines
Are Listed in
Recent Surrey

VERMILLION, S. D.-AS one Of its
contributions to the nations total war
effort against Japan, the state geolog-
ical survey has just completed a file
of all mines and quarries in South
Dakota which have ever produced min
eral products essential in the national
economy.
This announcement was made by E.
P. Rothrock, state geologist and head
Of the geology department at the State
university.
This file includes the names, owners
and the available information on pos
sible production and usefulness of each
mine and quarry in the state. South
Dakota can produce several materials
which are available in only a few
places in the United States, and which
in time of war are essential. It also
produces many other products which
can be used to supplement resources
found elsewhere, and to release for
war duty other supplies by taking their
place in the local market.

State Boards
Called in On
Oil REGULATION

A National Conference Of Petroleum
Regulatory Authorities to provide 'for
the fullest cooperation between the
federal government and the oil pro-
ducing states in the work of petroleum
coordination" has been formed by
Co-ordinator Ickes Appropriate Off
Gals of all oil producing states includ-
ing Montana and Wyoming, have been
designated as entitled to representa-
tives. Regular meetings are to be held
in Washington to consider petroleum
problems. A date for the first meeting
will be set when the list of members
is complete.
The Oil Conservation Board of Mon
tana is expected to designate its chair
man or some other person to repre-
sent the board at these conferences.
Among the various problems an
nounced is that of increasing produc-
ton from those fields which yield the
high-grade crudes necessary for the
manufacture of 100-octane and other
aviation gasolines.
problems such as this will be stud
led in the light of their effect on pro-
duction from fields which yield lower
grade crude petroleum and on state
and other policies" says
the official announcement.

divisions Of production. refining, trans
portation and marketing.
The plan was evolved by Ralph K.

procedures to be followed in applying
for preference ratings and securing
essential materials; the maintenance

materials and equipment held by sup
ply houses and oil companies and adj

THE division will obtain preference
ratings and ALLEGATIONS in appropriate
relation to competitive demands, and
expedite deliveries consistent with the
ratings.
1T will administer, within the au-
thority of OPC, all oil industry prior
ity orders which are not directly re-
lated to operating projects; administer

METALS BONUS
GOES IN EFFECT
ON FEBRUARY |

WASHINGTON-The office Of pr,c,
administration, preparing productior
quotas for copper, lead and zinc mine,
on which to base bonus payments for
increased output in 1912, reported the
task probably would not be completed
before Jan. 81. The bonus program
goes into effect Feb. 1.
The government-owned Metal Re-
serves Co. will buy at premium price
any quantities of such metals produced
in excess of the quotas, which are TO
be based on 1871 output. The program
is intended to stimulate production of
metals vitality needed in armament
production by squirting companies to
work low-grade ores which otherwise
would not be mined profitably.
OPA estimated lead and zinc OUTPUT
could be boosted 80 percent by the
bonus price system. Other sources said
no such gain could be expected for
pper-probably not more than 5
percent, which, however, would be
pure gravy" in the words of one Of
fetal
A bonus Of cents a pound win be
paid for extra copper production and
"a cents a pound for extra lead and
zinc. Regular ceiling prices are IL cents
for copper, 81 cents for zinc and 81
cents for lead.

NeU Process
Refined Lou
Grade Manganese

SAN FRANCISCO-A chemical key
through which great stores of manga
neSe might be unlocked for use in pro-
duction of steel supplies was described
here by engineers developing western
ores.
Mack c. Lake, vice president of
Manganese Ore Co., said that by use
of the chemical process the company
would be able to produce about 100000
tons a year Of high-grade manganese
ore from deposits that once were con-
sidered almost useless.
The first deposit to be tapped is
southeast of Las Vegas, New.
A chemical reaction which concen-
trates low-grade ore is the secret of
the new process. First the ore is
crushed, then leeched with water and
sulphur dioxide fumes. This turns the
manganese into manganese sulphate,
which diSsolves in water. The solution
is removed from the sludge and evap-
GRATED into dry white crystals Of man
ganese sulphate which a roasting turns
into manganese oxide. 60 to IS percent
manganese.

Forest Royalty
On Mining Claims
Declared "Out''

WASHINGTON Senator Wheeler
democrat, Montana, was notified by
G. M. Granger, acting chief Of the
forest service, that the service had
broadened it's mineral leasing policy
on exchange lands in the western
states to encourage exploitation of
metalliferous minerals.
The senator made public a letter
from Granger in which the latter said
mining permits on exchange lands &C
quired by the service would "ordinar-
lily" be based ION small charge per
acre, depending on surface values, and
there viii be no royalty"
Changers letter was in response to
a complaint from Charles H. Scholer

at Missoula, Mont, was "endeavoring
to impose a 10 percent royalty, in adj
dition to acreage fees" for the privi-
lege of mining certain gold placer,

REVISE TOTAL
FIGURES FOR
1871 OIL RUNS

Estimates Of December production by
the OIL Conservation Board has made
available revised preliminary total
figures on Montana oil production dur
ing the year 1871 and the oil board
figures show an error in the previous
figures tabulated in the Journal, In
which a fiscal year total was carried
into the totals for the year.
The board figures for December are
quite accurate as they are complete
except for Cedar Greek, Cat Greek.
Frannie, Lake Basin and the Sweet
grass Hills where not all producers
reports have been completed. Final
figures are not usually available until
the 25th to 18th Of each month follow
ing the month covered by the pro-
ducers' individual reports
The December estimates of the board
show a total Of 7,703 barrels for the
month. an average of d, $50 barrels per
day or 169,425 barrels per week. The
oil producing allotment for Montana
recommended by the petroleum CO.
ordinator was 81 500 barrels per day
during January, 1912.
In a tabulation Of production by
months, the boards estimate for De-
cember is shown, in this issue of the
Journal, with correct totals, revealing
the error in the former tabulation.
