Chemistry May PrOUe
Key to Large Stores
Of Manqanese in u. s.

A chemical key through which great
stores of manganese might be unlocked
for use in production Of steel supplies
has been described by engineers de-
veloping western ores.
Mack c. Lake of San Francisco, vice
president of Manganese Ore Co., sub
sidiary Of M: A. Ham Co. of Cleveland,
said that by use Of the chemical proc
ess the company would be able to pro-
duce about 100000 tons a year Of
high-grade manganese ore from de-
posits that once were considered al
most useless.
The first deposit to be tapped Is
southeast of Las Vegas, New. Lake said
negotiations were completed with the
government for construction there Of
$4500O 900 mill to be in operation
this year.
In addition, a second huge deposit
has been found In the Artillery peak
area in Arizona.
A chemical reaction which concern
trates low-grade ores 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 disso1ves In water. The solution
is removed from the sludge and evap-
Grated into dry white crystals of man.

Montana Bankers Sponsoring

Of Defense Saving bonds and Stamps
and Other Services Rendered by
Banks" but, the rules say, "only the
outstanding other services rendered BY
banks should be discussed"
Ben r. Draper of Helena, secretary
Of the Montana Bankers association,
announced the contest.
Students planning to enter must
notify their school principals Of their
intention. and they must submit their
manuscripts to the principals on or
before Monday, April 10.
Prizes, heretofore given In cash, will
be given this year in defense bonds
worth 500, $50 and $25, respectively,
for the three best essays. As in previ-
Gus years, the first-place winner will
be invited to present his essay person.
nally before the associations annual
convention.
The winners will be announced by
May 20.
Complete information regarding the
contest is being sent to all Montana
high schools.
The contest announcement explains
the reasons for subordinating the topic
of the service of banks to that of the
value Of defense savings as follows:
Banks believe that the investment
should be made in defense bonds and
stamps because patriotism and your
own self-protection demand that you
do your part: defense bonds are the
best investment in order to accumulate
a reserve against the reconstruction
period after the war, and their pur-
chase will curb initiation, which must
be prevented at all costs, and which
might become most dangerous enemy
of our country"
Banks are cooperating with the
government in every possible way to
help win the war. the announcement
continues, adding that they are glad
to serve their country by selling de-
Tense bonds. for which they receive no
commission.

$135, 1000 Annual Saving Seen
I'm State Reorganization Program

Savings Of at least s135,o00 annually
in expenses of operating the Montana
state government will result from re-
organization steps already ordered in
IS state agencies, Gov. Sam C. Ford
said in a talk at Butte.
Speaking at meeting Of the Butte
branch, American Association Of Uni
versity Women, the governor said that
over long period of time, Montana
legislatures created numerous boards
agencies and departments with little
or no notice to whether the duties of
these groups were being duplicated by
other state agencies.
He declared that before the reorgan-
ization study was started the state
had 1876 different agencies, including
departments headed by elective off,
GERS.
When the study is completed, he
said, and If the recommendations of
the governors advisory committee are
accepted by the legislature. this num-
Der will be decreased to SO.
Proposed constitutional amendments,
If approved by the people. would fur
ther reduce the total to 20.
Aside from prosecution of the war,
the governor told the university women,
the biggest problem confronting the
people Of Montana is the reorganiza-
ton Of the states business structure.
Governor Ford estimated six years
will be required to complete the re-
organization.
Reorganization of the state govern
ment, to effect economies and increase
services to taxpayers, was set in mo-
ton by the 1941 sessions of the legis-
lature. The legislature approved the
plan, provided for formation of a gov
ernor's advisory committee, and ap-
propriated funds to carry on the work.
The advisory committee, composed
Of w. E. Dowlin of Billings, chairman:
Fred Bennion of Helena, secretary;
Russell E. Smith of Missoula, Senator
Charles Mahoney of Jordan, Senator
Leonard Plank of Chester, Representa-
tive Dry J. Armstrong of Kalispell and
Representative James Dougherty of
Elliston. has been working on reorgan-
ization problems for many months.
A firm of Chicago governmental sur
vey experts was employed to make a
thorough study of the states govern
mental organization and report to the
committee with recommendations for
money-saving Improvements.
This survey has been completed, and
the advisory committee launched on
six-months study of recommended
changes.
Previously, the committee had ap-
proved many changes which could be
put into effect by order of the gov
ernor.
Changes yet to be made must await
approval of the 1s43 session of the
legislature
