Milwaukee Road plans 140 mile extension to coast
The Milwaukee Road intends to extend electrification 140 miles west from Avery Idaho toward the coast as power becomes available. Current electrified stretch runs from Harlowton to Avery with work starting on 149 miles more, and Montana Power contracts cover finished section power though motive power remains.

Incomes From Licenses By Minerals Separation Co
The Minerals Separation Co seeks about 18 million dollars in damages from Butte & Superior for patent infringement. Over the past two years the company shows North American income from royalties totaling about 1.185 million dollars. Inspiration Consolidated Copper first licensed the firm in April 1913, with many other mining firms following, and Inspiration reported 5,816,350 tons of ore at 1.548 copper with 75.29 percent overall recovery. A director notes limited likelihood of large payments if sued, while a Montana mine project advances with ore claims and drifted levels revealing fair-grade ore and substantial stopes ready for mill operation.

Crown Prince Fronts German Positions In Marble Quarry Fight
Berlin reports five failed French efforts to seize German positions in the quarries south of Marony on the crown prince’s front, with heavy losses. British reconnoitering detachments southwest of Acheville were repulsed and attacks north of Monchy were shelled. Fifteen British and French aircraft were shot down on the western front yesterday. A second item notes investors’ war time gripe over fewer Jump-on fares due to all eligible men being at the front, causing conductors to struggle with adherence to timetable.

Miami ruling over mineral separation patent split clarified
The Miami company wins no clear victory as circuit court of appeals at Philadelphia voices that the decision does not prove infringement. A later telegram from attorney John F. Neary suggests Judge Wooley’s majority found no infringement due to lack of prior agitation in the Calion cell, potentially easing use of the Callow method without royalties. A Buckington minority dissents, but the door remains open for U S firms to dodge English payments.
