BACK TO NATURE

If someone doesn't do something
about this housing shortage in Ell
Centre, RR is going to start plan
to build a lot of arrow weed
wickie-ups like the Indian used to
build.
From what we hear, some of the
servicemen's families would well
come a cozy little arrow-weed shack.
In fact. they'd welcome anything.
And why not? Back in the early
days in Imperial Valley an arrow
weed ramada over tent was con-
sidered a palatial residence.
If worse comes to the worst, we
might get the Boy Scouts to un-
bend a lot of ten cans for the
scrap stock pile and nail them to
frames of some kind. If we had
snow we could build igloos.
You never can tell what will re-
suit from a great community effort
to solve a knotty problem.

A HAZARDOUS PROFESSION

Guy Wood, formerly deputy
sheriff in the northern part of I'm
perial county, is having difficulties
these days. He has embarked on a
cattle raising and farming deal in
the Julian area.
He had to do some land clearing
soon after he took over and you
ought to see him now. He ran
afoul of some poison oak or poison
Ivy. From the looks of him, he
must have run afoul of both the oak
and the ivy to gather up so much
poison.
When last seen in the more set
tied parts of the mountain region,
kGuy was broken out like the dickens
/ and smeared with some kind Of
anti-poison goo. He resembled a
totem pole with red warts.

Editor:
l was amused at your editorial
written as an ad for the Landowners
Royalties Company. l find that the
penny ante poker game of Bill 0'Haire
and associates had a Zoe limit so con-
sequentiy the money shifted around,
but the real poker game is played with
table stakes so the little fellow has
the same opportunity as the man be-
hind big bank roll, and my opinion
is that the oil business should be
played as the real poker game with no
limits and should deal in any COM
modify of intrinsic value.
You also made a distinction between
the shoestring boys and the big COM
panies. They should all be active par
Elephants in the oil game and should
be allowed to play with no limita-
tions in either cash or royalty or any
commodity as the limits of the game
will always be the economic returns
from the venture.
l, as an independent, welcome the
major companies to participate in Mon
tana as they will make new markets
which will in turn help the producer
and the royalty holder, but we do not
want them to restrict the independent
so that they are the only ones that
win be able to play the game ac-
cording to their own rules.
Very sincerely yours,

Magnetic
Deposit In
Teton County

A magnetic deposit that has re-
ceived the attention of the U. S.
Bureau Of Mines is located north of
the town of Choteau in Teton county
and its development will follow sue
cessful introduction of sponge iron pro-
cesses in the West.
In June, 1912, reports of a scrap iron
shortage led the Gleason family of
Choteau to submit samples of the de-
post to Charles L Kolstad of Spo-
kane, who secured assays and deter
mined that there is a deposit of good
grade iron ore U. S. B. M. took sur
face samples but was unable to take
samples at depth. One test hole, still
incomplete, encountered at seven feet
good grade of hemitite ore which
assayed better than 500 iron. 1t was
impossible to penetrate through this
layer with hand drills Testing viii be
resumed this spring, according to Mr..
Kolstad, who is trying to get priority
rating in order to get a compressor
and jackhammer.
1t is estimated that there is some
10000, 600 tons of ore in this de-
post and there are several other de-
posits in the district. That such a de-
posit is commercial is indicated by an
operation of National Lead Co. on
$4,000 0O0-ton deposit, described in the
December, 1912, issue of Mining &
Metallurgy, page 594
Samples of the Choteau ore ran
from 1870 to 9OSo magnetic and while
no large percentage of titanium was
reported the sponsors hope that titan
ium will be found. The Bureau of
Mines report on a 5OO-lb. sample,
taken from parts of the 13OO-acre de-
posit is:
Iron, 1870; manganese, O.59o in
soluble, 1850; silica, 1900; lime,
1870; titanium, 1870; magnesia, 1.23c ;
vanadium, O.1669o; aluminium, $500.
On other samples, taken from the
walls of the deposit: three feet taken
from bottom up on 9la foot wall, 1870
next three feet, 11.59o and the tor
3la feet, $3.50 iron. One sample, taken
from ore picked up on the surface, went
$3.50 iron.

More L.iberol RFC
Looms to Miners

New type RFC mining loans under
the Hayden bin would set up in the
mining business individuals desiring to
engage in producing minerals Of value
to the country in wartime. At present
the RFC is authorized to make such
loans only to persons already engaged
in mineral development. The MeCarren
bill suspends for the duration a re-
strietion on loans for the development
of mineral deposits, restriction that
provided that such loans must result
in a profit.

Only 20 Out of
81 Stute Mines
Are Operating

Mining operations in Montana have
dropped to an all-time low, owing
to wPB restrictions on gold and silver
mining. One operator estimated this
week that of 81 active mines one year
ago, but 90 are now operating, out
side ,of Butte.
Five or six companies have secured
preliminary development loans from
the RFC but these properties have not
yet come into production. The new
loans are expected to inspire renewal
of development work for the purpose
of opening strategic minerals. AS
against the old, slow-moving methods
the RFC has now stepped up the con-
sideration and granting of loans, has
lowered interest rates and the prin-
cipal question to be answered is
whether the loan. will be advantageous
to national defense"
1t is believed that miners and pros
peetors at large are not cognizant of
the liberal terms of the preliminary
loans else there would be greater
number of mines, new and old, start
ing up.
