Fisher and his scientific organ
ization has set the pace in this field
and as a result scientific search for
minerals has recorded many sue
cesses where the instruments of the
Fisher Research Laboratory are
used. In this connection Fisher says
in his booklet:
Since the beginning of the 10th
century science has assumed a per-
tinent, If not essential, role In ore
finding. Chance discoveries have
passed, the age in which plain luck
accounted for million dollar ore
bodies is closed. The increasing
demand for metals requires con-
stantly expanding reserve of ore
to satisfy the needs of modern in
dustry. This increased demand in
turn stimulates the search for min
erals, and it is in this search that
improved geologic methods of in
vestigatidn have become important.
During the past two decades a
new method of prospecting has ap-
peared, which cOrre1ates the talent

WELL I'M PROSPECT

Mon-O-Co Oil Corporation of Har-

another well on Harlo dome, about
seven miles northwest of Ryegate.
The company drilled a we'll on this
dome last year, completing it as a
dry hole after topping the Madison
lime at 1850 feet and drilling to
total depth of $3.50 feet. New 1oca-
ton is some distance to the east
and apparently higher on structure.
The company's plans are revealed
by filing with the Securities and
Exchange commission, covering
non-producing working interests in
the venture.

dustry subcommittee of the Sem
The subcommittee has prepared
and issued the report as:
l. A guide for copper, lead, and
zinc producers-most of whom are
small mine owners and operators
inasmuch as mo explicit details of
the administration of the plan have
yet been made public TO the mine
operators themselves, nor have the
methods and formulas used in cal
culating premiums heretofore been
available to applicants" and as
2. An historical Recommendation of
an important economic experiment
which should be available to the
public for study, particularly as
proposals are being made from var
subsidy plan"
The subcommittee report presents
detailed information with respect
to the evolution, development, adj
ninistration, and operation of the
Plan; data concerning production,
premium payments, metal prices,
and costs; the mechanics of dtsburs-
ing premium payments; agency and
committee letters, statements, and
memoranda selected from the files
of the senate small business COM
mittee; and all agency announce
ments, form letters, and other
known documents relating to the
premium price plan for copper,
lead and zinc.
During the life of the plan, the
report states, some 212 millions of
dollars in premium payments have
been expended to 300 mines
through June 1915 the plan
probably has saved the taxpayer
several billions of dollars in the
ultimate cost of war material. 1t
continues:
1.-The effect and implications of
the economic trend upon the do
nestle mining industry may be in
dictated by the average cost
ceiling price plus premium pay
ments) current during the month
of June, 1945, for domestic copper,
lead, and zinc, which was 1915
cents a pound, S.725 cents a pound,
and 11.142 cents a pound, respective
". The cost of metal produced in
the Tri-State district alone mis-
souri,, Kansas, and Oklahoma) was
much higher than the average for
the country as a whole-being 49,
05S cents a pound for lead and
1890 cents pound for zinc during
June, 1916.
cit is evident from the foregoing
that ceiling prices of IL cents a
pound for copper, SIS cents pound
for lead, and 825 cents pound for
zinc must be raised considerably or
eliminated entirely in the near flu
ture, or that subsidies must be con-
tinued on firm basis beyond June
30, 1916, and perhaps substantially
increased.
THE fact that an increase in cell
ing prices would reduce premium
payments on domestic production
by a corresponding amount should
be given serious consideration by
the administration or when legisla.
ton is being drafted.
AS there is serious and grow
ing shortage of lead and copper
incalculable injury to the domestic
industry - retarding reconversion
efforts may result if premium
payments for copper, lead, and zinC
are discontinued and If ceilins
price increases in lieu Thereof
should be insufficient to permii
large numbers of mines to continue
IN operation on profitable basis
or If reasonable adjustments arr
