for development of a technique for
rifle firing at night which has been
found successful by the army.
A letter from Patterson to Senator

that Roos' system was tested at Fort

LEXINGTON MINING
GO. BUYS NEIHART
MINES AND MILLS

Important expansion by Lexington
/ Mining Co., largest producer in Neihari
camp, south Of Great Falls. was an.
nounced this week. The Lexington, op-
Grating the Big Seven mine, has taken
over the Ed K1ies Mining Co. holdings
and has already started to drive 9
tunnel from the Lexington Big Seven
mine side to connect the Broadwater
mine, formerly Of the Klies company
The Lexington has also acquired the
Moulton mine Of the Kiies company
holdings and plans large scale develop
ment Of lead-silver ores.
The Lexington has purchased the
Florence Mining Co., owned and oper-
ated by Dan Reider, with mill of 80
tons daily capacity. This win cover
several claims including the Concen-
trate vein, which is large milling ore
body. This ore Is blocked out by several
tunnels but no ore was mined and no
Milling was done before the Florence
mill was built there by A. Franchie.

ing Co. in 1886.
Besides these properties the Lexing-
ton has acquired the Gait mine the
Cumberland and neighboring groups
and also has made a deal for the
Russell Stewart lease on the Queen Of
the Hills on condition that the Lex
ington gets the Queen and OBrien
claims.
1t is understood that the Lexington
will continue to operate all present
mills and will increase capacity Of its
present mill plus a 5O0-ton unit which
will give Neihart camp q 1O00-ton
milling capacity, turning out a large
amount of lead in addition to the
silver.

Deputy Co-ordinator Davies stated:
when the Pes order was originally

Carl j. Trauerman, secretary or the
Mining Association of Montana. has
been in touch with Washington since
the order was issued and oscar l.
Chapman, assistant secretary Of the
department of the interior, with repre-
sentatiVes of the U.S.GS., and bureau
of mines will attend the Butte meet
ing at 10 o'clock Monday morning at
the School of Mines. Mr.. Chapman
asked representative mining men from
Idaho as well as Montana to attend
men who know the potentialities Of
mining development and who In con-
sequence can wisely advise on what
can be done now.
Under present conditions the accent
think should be placed on strategic
and deficient minerals, which are es-
sential to the war effort and which
in general are deficient either in guam
tity or grade or both in the United
States" Chapman wrote to DR.. F. A.
Thomson of the School of Mines, In
suggesting the meeting.
Secretary Trauerman Of the associa-
ton stated:
when the order was issued, taking
away priority cards from mines whose
production in dollars amounted to
more than 80 percent in gold and sill
yer, it caused quite lot of consterna-
ton in the mining business and some
of the missing associations and oper-
ators Immediately got in touch with
DR.. Wilbur A. Nelson, head Of the
mining branch of the WPB in Wash
ington, D. G. 1t was realized that cut
ting the priority of such mines would
cause a large drop in the production
of zinc, lead and copper, produced by
these mines, but which could not pro-
duce the needed lead, zinc and copper
If their ores did not con-
tain high gold and silver values. In
giving out the priorities order, DIR. Nell
son overlooked another very import
ant factor The entire western smelt- |
ing industry must have silicious ores
in order to produce copper and lead. |
These silicious ores usually are gold
and silver ores. If such silicious ores
are not available the smelters would
have to start mining pure silicious ores
without values and that would take
more men and materials than the pres
ent silicious gold and silver industry"
These things were taken up with
Washington and the modified ruling
came through, providing for the A-10
rating on repairs and PD-1A on other
materials.

CONTRIBUTION
OF MONTANA is
BIG WAR FACTOR

BUTTE-"A week spent in Wash.
ington convinces me that, In spite o
the babel of tongues about pensions
in congress and fan dancers in civilian
defense and host Of other inconse-
quent trivialities, the might of Ameri-
can production is really beginning tc
roll like great juggernaut," said DR.
Francis A. Thomson, president OF
Montana School of Mines, on his re-
turn from attendance at the annual
meeting Of the American Association
Of State Biologists in the national
capital
II found a splendid seriousness of
purpose everywhere, both in admins
tration circles and out of 1t, and an
adamant determination to win the war
as speedily as possible and to make
everything without exception absolute
ly secondary and subordinate to this
supreme objective.
Naturally there Is some difference
of opinion as to exactly how this
should be done but no difference as
to the ultimate objective of absolute,
clean cut and positive victory.
Montana everywhere is recognized
as making a major contribution to the
war through her expanding production
of copper and zinc but much more
through her manganese
production from Butte ore at the Ana
conda reduction works and her pro-
duction of chromite already under way
at Dean and Red Lodge. In each of
two vital strategic metals, indis-
pensable IN alloy manufacture, Mon
tana not only is leading the nation but
is making the only substantial pro-
duction. Indeed, Montana is producing
more manganese, and since last week
more chromite, than all the rest of
the country put together.
with shipping everywhere In jeop-
ardy, Montana's mineral production Is
one of the hfelines Of victory"

SAYS
Gold and SiLUer?

Did you have your head on the
block when the priority ak fell on
March 3? Fifty-two gold and silver
producers received a hard, although
anticipated, blow. At least three size
able producers have already pulled the
switch. To many an operator, It meant
curtains" Just as his property began
bearing the fruits of his labor. Mon
tana Kilowatt sympathizes with every
one Of you, whether or not you started
taking his advice weeks ago to get
your electrical equipment In order.
But this is war. A war that becomes
more serious each day. Trade lanes
have been cut and as we now are
forced to rely on hemisphere produc-
ton Of essential metals previously i'm
ported, every mine operator will play
an important role. We must produce
vital metals faster than the Axis.
Many gold and silver operators have
already expressed their intent to shift
their operations to strategic metal
mining. Private initiative built the
good old U. S. A. and the same kind
of individuals are now busting
through" to help save our country In
this perilous hour.
Increased production Of strategic
metals will require motors and other
electrical equipment. The electrical
manufacturers are already swamped
with war orders. So, properly maintain
motors and control that you now have
and make them available for strategic
metal production If and when, you
cease mining gold and silver.
If you shut down, remove all under
ground motors and other motors that
have operated in damp locations to
dry storeroom Immediately. The heat
produced in a motor when it Is oper-
ating will keep its winding insulation
dry and prevent failure even under
very damp operating conditions. But
if left In a damp place during shut
down, the motor winding viii absorb
moisture and failure will occur upon
restarting, unless the winding Is prop
erly dried out and tested. AS very few

Let's get the lead out of our pants
