Montana Power Plans Test Well to Get Gas for Large Area Butte- -The Montana Power Co. Tuesday announced plans to drill a test gas well in the Big Coulee field to help determine whether the field contains enough natural gas to supply central Montana. Montana Power said the well would be started as soon as a drilling contract could be negotiated. The well will be completed on one of two newly acquired state leases in Golden Valley and Stillwater counties. The company on Aug.

4 announced plans to pipe gas 75 to 80 miles from the Big Coulee field to enough gas is found. and Heath Lewistowton would be served by tap lines. The proposed well would be Montana Power's first in the field. Two wells by another firm have been drilled into sand formations and are reported to have reached gas in commercial quantities. Montana Power said it hopes to find gas in the Third Cat Creek and Morrison Sand formations.

LOUISVILLE, 18.49 Manager Aluminum Plant Tells About Valuable Enterprise Butte An account of how aluminum production has given Montana a' new and valuable industrial resource was presented Tuesday to the Butte Exchange Club in an address by Howard G. Saterthwaite, manager of Anaconda Aluminum company plant at Columbia Falls.

He spoke at club's luncheon meeting in the Finlen hotel. "The Columbia Falls Aluminum plant," Satterthwaite said "is the first industry in the northwest to take advantage of the sale of generator bus-bar power from the Bonneville Power administration. rate "To the qualify for the bus bar following requirements had to be met: The plant had to be built within a specified radius of a ma1 jor power development, in our case, the Hungry Horse power plant. "2. Connections to Bonneville power administration system's Hungry Horse-Hot Springs 230 KV transmission line had to be established.

This necessitated the company constructing a loop line from the plantsite to Bonneville 230 KV line, a distance of miles. "3. Transformer facilities from 230 KV system voltage to 13.8 KV plant voltage had to be provided. At the plant there are three transformers which step down the voltage to 13,800 volts and three regulating Only two units are necessary at a time to supply the two banks of transformers and rectifiers. Each bank of rectifiers, consisting of 16 frames with 12 tanks per frame, supplies one of two potlines with 90,000 to 100,000 amperes.

The maximum DC voltage that may be derived from the rectifiers is 700." Mr. Satterthwaite told of the simultaneous discovery in 1886 by Charles Hall, an American, and Paul Herroult, a Frenchman, of how aluminum could be sustained and controlled in an electrolytic cell or pot, using a bath of cryolite. "Neither of these men knew of the other's discovery until after the year had elapsed," said. "At the time of their discoveries both were 23 years old both died at the early age of 28 years, which in itself is an odd coincidence. "The sustaining of the pot pro.

duction consisted of replenishing the alumina in molten cryolite so that the pot production of aluminum would be continuous. Pots used after the time of Hall and Herroult followed the same pattern in that they consisted of two major parts: "1. A permanent cathode consisting of a solid block of carbon with a shallow cavity in the top to retain the molten cryolite bath. "2. The anodes vary in size a and I numbers, but in all cases are solid carbons.

But, he said, there was sufficient illumination from street lights and a nearby community Christmas tree to make the crowd visible. The driver, Hollis Emery Drake, 32-year-old manganese worker and father of two children, pleaded guilty in justice court to a charge of driving a motor vehicle while intoxicated. Judge R. E.

Barnhill set sentencing for Wednesday afternoon, when Drake is to plead to a second charge of hit-and-run driving. County Attorney Edwin T. Irvine said the maximum sentence on each charge is a $500 fine and six months in jail. Munis said he had just driven past the crowd, assembled front of a state fish and game department office for a drawing of 35 elk hunting permits, when he saw a sedan without lights heading toward the drawing scene. The undersheriff turned around and came upon a "confused" crowd, scattered by the car, which had just rammed its way through the hundreds of people.

Munis estimated that as many as 25 persons were injured. Only two persons- -Pat Cline, Philips burg, and Arnie Jepson, Anaconda were still hospitalized late Tuesday.

He was placed under arrest and held without charge or bail Monday night and Tuesday morning.

Mrs. Drake, who was 1 in the car with her husband, was not held. Leonard Bowen, Philipsburg, was credited with saving a 12- year-old girl from injury.
