brick are now being made.
Since year ago last March the COM
pany has shipped 100 tons of bullion, and
the smelter In operation about one-haif of
the time. This, however, will be discon-
tinued and nothing shipped but the lead
output and refined product as soon as the
improvements are completed.
The works at Pilot Bay first demon
strated the fact that the ores of the dis
trict could be smelted at home as well as
could be done at the distant smelters. The
addition Of refining works will still fur

timing can be carried on in the Kootenai.
