GIVES TO BUTTE "The Northwest," Railway Publication, Tells of Mining. The city of Butte la given a column of space in the August number of "The Northwest," publication of the agricultural development department of Northern Pacific railway. The article, entitled, "Millions in Metals," follows: "While many of the mining camps of the early days in the West have played out, Butte, In western Montana, still has several thousand men who are engaged in mining. Gold was discovered In Butte In 1864 and through successive discoveries ofi other valuable metals the colorful history of this western city has been made. "Soon after 1868 silver was discovered in deposits deeper In the ground than any worked by the early prospectors and by 1880 the population had reached 5,000.

Just as the silver deposits- seemed to be giving out, copper was discovered and the camp's permanency established. The present population within the city limits Is about 40,000. "The hill on which Butte Is situated, known as the richest hill In the world, has yielded considerable quantities of silver, $21,000,000 In lead. $36,000,000 in gold, $200,000,000 in zinc, and $1,000,000,000 in copper. Scientists say that only a scratch has been made on the copper and that It will be a source of Income for many years to come.

"Montana in 1930 produced in gold, silver, copper, lead and zinc, the volume being tons of ore. There were 489.17 ounces of gold, 7.052.889 ounces of silver, 196.187,523 pounds or copper, 21,306.044 pounds of lead and 62,841,108 pounds of zinc." HUGE CAAKFISH CAUGHT CLARKSDALE, Miss.

"The Lord thy God In the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with Joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing."

The intensive search for gold now being conducted in Montana by an army of small prospectors has had an interesting effect on both the United States mint and the manufacturers of gold pans. Natural gold in quantities of two ounces or over Is being accepted by the United States assay office In Helena, following recent instructions from the director of the mint at Washington.

D. C. This lowering of the minimum amount of the precious metal accepted is done for the purpose of giving encouragement to placer mining during the present season. The gold to be accepted In this unusually small quantity must be in the natural state, not dental or Jewelry scrap or other fabricated metal, it is explained. Based upon articles that appeared a few weeks ago1 In The Montana Standard, telling of the ex- naustion of the Montana Hardware company's stock of gold pans by a suaaen rusn or eager prospectors, the Engineering and Mining Journal of New York made an editorial of the subject in Its lasU issue.
