Running Wolf
MagnetOn1eter
Survey Next

Next step in working out posi-
bilitieS of the Running Wolf iron
deposits near Stanford is likely to
be the employment of a magnetic
meter crew to locate lenses of the
ore not reflected in surface out
crops.
This is the word received by A. ].
Breitenstein, secretary of the Great
Falls Chamber of Commerce, from
e. w. Newman, district engineer
for the u. S. bureau of mines. Says
Newman's letter:
"We did quite a thorough trench
ing and drilling job last fall on APP
proximately one mile of the deposit.
and proved definitely that the iron
occurs in lenses rather than being
a continuous vein. In fact, only SO
percent of the contact which we ex-
plored showed any iron.
I'VE have carefully gone over the
other five miles in which some iron
float can be seen, and can find no
other section that looks any better
than the ore we explored. The only
chance for finding any large ton
mage of iron ore on Running Wolf
would, therefore, be in blind re-
placements in the limestone, which
do not show on the surface. Since
the largest percentage of iron in the
deposits is magnetic, any such
lenses, if present, could easily be
picked up with a magnetometer.
have therefore recommended to
Washington that before planning
any further drilling, a magnetic
meter survey be made of the whole
area. / received word recently that
magnometer crew would not be
available until after July, and then
it would depend upon iron funds
made available for the next fiscal
year. However, expect to get this
work done eventually IF this work
locates any lenses that are really
large, ! win recommend more dia-
mond drilling"

Are Available
The truth is that we have barely
scratched the surface of our min
eral possibilities, and this is par
ticularly true of the west and
especially the northwest" Lilly
said, continuing:
There Is, by the way, grave dan
ger that we will soon become a
have-not nation If we do not rid
ourselves of the bureaus and regu-
lations which have all but stopped
mine development, but that will be
the fault of our system rather than
the lack of metal resources. If only
a small amount of the money that
is now being used to maintain
regulatory and directive bureaus of
fly-caps, meddlers and shoppers,
was put into the hands of practical
mining men they would soon prove
the utter absurdity of Mr. Bats
contention.
VIII DO Harm
THE most charitable position
that can be taken on Mr.. Bats un-
fortunate statement, is that he was
not informed, but ignorance in this
case and in his position is inexcus-
able. Unfortunately his statements
will be widely accepted in the east,
and will therefore adversely affect
mining investment possibly to the
extent of hampering our war effort.
"Our metals are the chief strength
of our country being not only the
muscles of the war but also the
muscles of peaceful industry, and
those who either Willingly or un.
Willingly discourage or hamper
their development are rendering the
country a distinct disservice which
should not be taken lightly or pass
unchallenged."
