Montana Resources Shine In Industrial Range
Montana annually yields about 50 000 tons of manganese and arsenic with new output spurred by cotton boll weevil control. Lead production reaches 37 million pounds yearly, fourth in the nation. Sapphire mines in Yogo Gulch yield half of America's precious stones, with 600 000 carats produced yearly. Gypsum and cement from Montana add to manufacturing, while hydro electric potential rivals national totals.
