MINING, REFINING OF
COPPER ILLUSTRATED

The story of copper, the red meta
regarded as worthless by early golt
seekers, and how it converted the
Butte diggings into the richest hill
on earth" was portrayed in a Ko.
dachrome sound film shown at the
meeting of the Rotary club, Tues.
day. The film, dealing with tbs
Montana operations of the Anaconda
Copper Mining company, showed
the processes involved in mining anC
reducing the ore, and certain phases
Of attendant industries.
Butte was first settled in 1864
as a placer mining camp. At first
the placer process produced a con,
siderable amount of gold, but pros,
perity did not come to Butte until
quartz mining operations were start
ed in 1875 by William A. Clark. 1t
was then that Butte started on
its way to become some of the fab
ulous things that have been claimed
for it.
A man named Dickie filed the
original claim on the Anaconda mine
in Butte and for two year under
took the mining of copper ore. When
it became apparent that a great
deal of capital was needed to de-
velop the mine to the point where
it would be a profitable enterprise,
Dickie sold his holdings to DAILY.
From the original shaft there have
developed a number of mines which
have ~honeycombed the hill with
some 300 miles of tunnels. The
annual output of copper from this
hill nearly equals the total amount
produced in the rest of the country,
and the annual value of copper, gold
and silver recovered aggregates
more than 100000, 600.
After a brief historical back
ground, the film showed the surface
operations and installations neces-
sary to get the miners to their work
and to bring to the surface the ore
they mine. In order to operate the
pneumatic equipment used in the
mining operations, and in order to
sustain the miners as they work, it
is necessary to compress 2O,000,0 900
cubic feet of air per day and to
force through the ventilating sys-
tenn some 100000 cubic feet Of
air per minute. The heat removed
from the mine in one day by the
ventilating system could melt 1000
tons of ice.
On the working face the miners,
using pneumatic drills, drill "a pre-

Dependents Earning
$500 Or More To Pay
Federal Income Tax

If a dependent, such as a college
student working during vacation, re-
ceives $500 or more in wages his
parents cannot claim him for ex-
emption when they file federal in
come tax return, according to pub
lie accountants who assist taXpay-
ers in making returns. They say
the parents have to see that he
files his own return. As a result
of loss of the right to claim ex-
emption on his account they may
have to pay from SIS to $3.50 more
than they would otherwise have to
do, depending on what income
bracket they occupy.
Many people are under the i'm
preston, it is said, that the exemp-
ton has been raised to $500, which
is Only the personal ex-
emption has been raised to $500,
and not on whether the child is a
dependent.
The following extract is from
"Tax Reduction Revenue Act of
Commerce Clearing House:
Increased Exemptions Amount
for Dependent. Amounts Increased:
The new law raises the exemption
amount for a dependent of the tax
from $500 to $500.
"The tests for determining de-
tendency, however, remain unchang-
ed. A dependent, to be such, can
not have a gross income of $500 or
more for the taxpayers taxable
year. To claim a dependency, the
taxpayer must have furnished over
half of the actual amount used for
he dependents support in the tax
able year. =

Hospitals in US. Admit
I18 Million in 1947,
Nearly Doubling 1887

About 1906, 900 patients were adj
mitted to the Nations hospitals
last ,year-almost 100 per cent more
than the 9,221,517 who were admit
ted in 1887, the American Hospital
Association reported today.
About 5000 900. nearly 2,000, 600
more than in 1916, entered general
hospitals and an additional 10000
900 hospital visits were made for
outpatient treatment, the associa-
ton said.
Average cost of patient care,
meanwhile, rose from $3.50, in 1915.
to $11.O9 last year. But the average
income from patients was $9.71, leav-
ing a daily deficit of s1.38 per pa
tient-to be made up through con-
tributions and gifts from the public,
association figures showed.
In all, the group said, hospitals
spent about s400.O00,000 more in
1947 than the year before because
of higher wages, higher prices ana
expanded services" Hospitals paid
an average Of 70 full-time en-
ployes for every 100 patients.
On the brighter. side. the asso-
citation citation reported that the
average patient in the general hos
pitfalls stayed for eight days as COM
pared with 9.1-day stays in 1916.
This reflects, the association said,
"the spreading practice of entering
hospitals in earlier stages OF ILL
ness" and increased numbers OF
persons enrolled in prepayment
hospital and medical plans.

PARIS, Aug. 9.-The legislature
continues debate today on Pre-
mier Andre Maries reform bill. The
measure is designed to give the
executive branch wide power to

day when European recovery pro-
gram dollars stop.
The bill is vague and general in
it's terms. Among other things it
would allow the cabinet to overhaul
the tax system and to order mill
tary and civil service economies
The Socialists, popular Republicans
and Radical Socialists making up
Mr.. Marie's coalition cabinet al
ready have made many amendments
to the bill.
Mr.. Reynaud has declared he will
resign if the measure is too badly
mutilated. He predicted budget
deficit for 1949 of TOO billion francs
$3.50, OO0,O OO unless stringent econ
omies are effected.
Warns Of Losing U. s. Aid.
eff the Americans suddenly got
tired of paying per cent of their
taxes for European aid He told
the assembly. France would lose 40
per cent of her raw material imports
and 100000 tons of cereals: coal
stocks would fall Is per cent, oil
stocks 80 per cent and textile pro-
duction would go down IS per cent.
Several thousand miners went on
