The Wallace Free Press believes
there Is something in TIT wind with
regard to lead, but what that some
thing Is is difficult TO figure out or
unravel. Already the greater por-
ton Of our ore supply for an entire
year has been contracted for by the
Omaha and Denver smelling com
panies, and the remainder will
probably go I'm the same direction
without any binding contracts,
About 10000 tons Of the product OF
this camp has been engaged ms a
certainty 10y Omaha and Denver
smelters. OF this Omaha has se-
cured some u, 600 tons and Denver
5000 tons. From the Granite, Cali
fornlu and Stemwlnder mines
Omaha secures about l2,O0O more,
and 1t Is probable the tusterund other
mines Will increase thisainount dur
ing the year to 2O,OOO tons, which
would make at least $1,000 tons of
ilrt-class ore for concentrates TO be
shipped to the Omaha smelter. OF
course there must bc some object for
these large shipments to one point,
and 1t Is our impression that the re-
Gently organized trust has finger
in the pie. BY buying up all tins
soft ore the trust has u corner OH the
market and can control the lead in
terests to great extent, or IL can
crush the opposition smelters 10y pre-
venting them getting hold of solt
ores to reduce the hardone Which
ever scheme Is In embryo, it will de
vclop shortly. One thing Is certain,
the Kansas smelling companies are
already squeallng and crying out
against the tariff ON ores from Mex
leo. The price of lead has been
for some time, and IL
is quite likely to go up above o cents
If the trust gets good hold on the
cinch. The Free Press believes the
smelter trust Ii quietly manipul-
lating things to have everything
their own way, and the prospect Is
quite good for its success.

The Cmur d'Aienes WIN Outstrip
Lcadviiie Ia "a Few Years.


The development of the mining
Industries are OF exceedingly slow
growth, says the Wallace Free Press,
yet the Cmur d'Alcnc mines are
pressing forward with such energy
that they are making a better show
ing for their age than any other
camp has been able TO do heretofore.
II Is only 10y comparison we can ar
rive ut anything like definite con-
cluslon rs To the headway we are
making. OF course, every lntclli-
gent miner knows we are ''getting
thcrc," hut the manner I'm which
we are getting there" remains to
be told by facts and figures.
For an Infant camp the Cmur
d'Alene has been Al prodigy, aud
weIp we able TO give the exact iig-
ures Of the output of Its mines IL
would make an Interesting column.
But we can only estimate the pro-
duct of the past years, which we
may place at $500, 900, won from
the territory d'ained by the Sputh
FORK of the Cuaur d'Alene river
lead aud silver. ono-half of this
sum was produced last year. bur
ing the present year from the indi-
cations met with ON every hand,
the output will increase to ut least
$1,000, 900, II II docs not exceed those
figures. Hence we are able TO show
II yield, aitor only Ave ycan of dc
vGlopment work larger thnn that
of any district ever discovered at
the same age. Ieadville Is frequent
ly cited ms having been u wonderful
camp, yet we lind that II took the
miners there nineteen years to take
out $40, 700, 900.

No doubt the figures ere approxi-
mately correct. They are taken
from published authorities. They
show that the Leadville mines only
nitcr nearly twenty years prospect
ing and development work began to
show what they were capable of
doing, We have here in the Cnur
PAlene nearly caught up with
Lcndville In five years, and were all
our mines, thut are rOady for ship

exceed that OF leadville even at the

Tho Cmur d' Alenc papers of last
week were brlmiul of Interesting
mining ncws and comment, indicat-
! ing great activity In tho beginning
of operations for the ensuing season.
The Wallace Free Press says;
The placer situation on Prichard
creek proper docs not look very
promising for the year, and little
work will be done until late in the
season, but on the old channel wash
and side gulchesa very large amount
of gold will be taken out. The min
el's have been preparing or better
work for several years. Last year
II new company, known as the
North Fork Hydraulic Mining Com
pany, built hvc miles Of ilumo
bitches near the Big Jam, and they
will turn their pipes loose on some
weeks. On Eagle creek, sgd Mills
Is getting his bedrock tiume I'M
der way. On Fancy gulch oper'
ations have already commenced on
Mr.. Mills big placer work, and at
the head of thcgulch Dan McGrath
il putting In considerable iron pipe
forhydraullc work, On Daisy gulch,
the next one south Of Fancy, Frank
Grove and parties are In good shape
for good bedrock ilumc work. From
this point for five miles along the
mountain on the north side of
Prlchnrd creek there will bc gold
taken out during the year. Dream
gulch will probably witness the
most extensive work, for IL Is hec
in all likelihood that the Spokane
company will do their squirting
Along MissOula, Dry, Nugget, Al

season.

the bedrock flame Is under good
headwny. All these things carry u
promise with them Of good times for
the town of Murray, which in turn
will be of benefit to the entire camp.
There Is every prospect Of plentiful
supply of water for the entire year,
and IL Is to be regretted chat Prich-
ard creek, with its eight miles of
placers, does not respond to the en-
esgy that is displayed by the miners
Ia the side gulchcs and on the hill
side. Whenever It does there will
be u boom on the North side that
will echo throughout the CGur
dAleneg and the whole of Idaho.
The owners of the Nest1l Con.
old wash placer, near Murray,
have lust received I, 100 pounds of
iron pipe tj62 feet). This win be put in
place as speedily u possible to get u
chance ut the first flow of water.
The company has one of the finest
reservoirs on the North Side, and Its
prospects for II han dsome cleanup
this season are bright, "a the old
channel has proved very rich ut this
point.
The drift diggings ON Trail gulch
are panning out quite well. Last
Sunday n cleanup of f0rty-two
ounces of gold was received from the
Billy Miller claim alone at the bank
of Murray. This cleanup contained
IA l-0uncc nugget, tine largest piece
that has been found on Irail gulch
for about "a year. Near the head of
Trail gulch the ground pays about
$50 to the set of imbers.
