Tabloid Review 1 Reports to Board of Equalization in- dicate Production More Than Doubled During Fiscal Year Betterment in mining conditions in Montana, due chiefly to the en- hancement in market and mining conditions in the early part of the year, is reflected from the report of net precede of the mining com- panies to the state board of equal- ization. Slumping metal prices of recent months create a condition whereby the report for the year compared to the report for 1922 probably does not give a true pic- ture of present conditions, but despite the recent market reaction 1923 will show an improvement of a substantial nature over 1922. In 1922 the gross value of the product of metal mines in this state was $20,240,269.80. In 1928 the gross value rose to $53,539,871. The years compared are actually fiscal years ending May 31. The totals are obtained from the re- ports of 316 mines or mine oper- ators. In addition, 127 Operators reported \no production\ or \pros- pecting only.\ These last are not subject to' the metalliferous mines license tax until they begin ship- ments of ore. There are two sapphire mines in the state—one in Granite coun- ty, operated by the American Gem Mining syndicate of St. Louis, and one in Judith Basin county oper- ated by the New Mine Sapphire syndicate of London, England. The gross value of sapphires mined by the American Gem syn- dicate during last year, according to reports of the state board of equalization, was $37,284.80, while the New Mines Sapphire syndicate took out of the ground $102,467.71 worth of the gems. In 1922 the total net proceeds amounted to $882,002 and the li- cense tax paid was $13,559.92. In 1923 the net proceeds was $5,201,. 677 and the license tax was $78,- 293.67. Of the total net proceeds of met- alliferous mines for the state this year, Silver Bow county reported $4,897,734.84, leaving only $403,- 942.60 for the remainder of the state. Of the $78,293.67 paid as a total license tax, Silver Bsw coun- ty accounted for $73,493.02.

TREASURE STATE IS RICO IN HIGH ORME klANSANESE 1 .•••••••=1.,••••• Montana's manganese, like its cop- per and wheat, Is of so superior a quality that Its grade makes produc- tion possible in the face Of an adverse market, according to - data assembled by the state detSartment of agriculture and industry. yanganese from tne Phillipsburg district far the manufac- ture of dry -cell batteries commonly sells for two or three times the open market price, Deposits of manggneee ore are found in eight distinct districts in Montana, Philipsburg being the twist productive district not only in Mon- tana but in the United States. Large bodies of rhodochrosite at Butte are the source of valuable quantities of manganese. During 1917 and 1918 Montana produced approximately two- thirds of the total amount of this met - Al that was produced in the United States. It is estimated -that 25,000 to 50,000 tons are used annually in the manufac- ture of dry -cell batteries, but the greatest Market yet is for steel mak- ing, by the open-hearth or Bessemer processes. Manganese like ferroman- ganese is used as an alloy, the former containing 70 to 80 per cent of man- ganese going into structural shapes, sheets, bars and wire made by the open-hearth process. Splegelelsen, containing 16 to 30 per cent of man- ganese, is used largely in the Bessemer process for the making of rails, forg- ings and the like. President C. H. Clapp of the Univer- sity of Montana reports that deposits of manganese in various ore combina- tions are found also at Nelhart, in Cascade county, at Wicks in Jefferson, county, northwest of Anceney gulch in Gallatin county, west of Melrose in Beaverhead county and in Dry gulch Ir.

At 10 o'clock at night the city was aroused by the continuous bursting of air bombs over the ritnrocks that sur- round the northern part of the city, followed a little later by the bursting into flames of a cross nearly 50 feet in height, the \fiery cross\ of the Ku Klux Klan. As the cross blazed, lighting the en- tire top of the hills for miles around, hundreds of red glares were touched off, and on the edge of the hills 30 0 feet above the city, marched hundreds of white -robed members of the organiz- ation, carrying red and green flaming torches, Just back of the edge of the steep cliffs were hundreds more of the klansmen, forming a continuous mov- ing circle in which several hundred candidates were being initiated into the order. Back 100 yards or more from the edges of the cliff, stood six buglers, whose signals moved the white -robed members in their various maneuvers. In front of the buglers burned the cross.
