Gypsum, Valuable NOn-Mineral Used In
Increasing Volume By Building Industry

Butte, Nov. 2.-In the heart of
central Montana an oblong area 20
by II miles, in which Lewistown
is almost the center, lie extensive
deposits of a non-metallis mineral
now coming into its own on a
steadily increasing scale due to the

its of gypsum occur in at least
four formations of three geolOgi-
cal ages: the Ellis of Jurassic age,
the Chugwater of the Triassic, the
of the Mississippian, and the
Kibby of the Mississipian. Gyp-
sum has been or is now being
mined commercially in near
