Are Treatment Charges Advancingq

The manager of one of the heaviest
producing mines in the state has ar
rived at the conclusion that the local
shelters are raising their working
charges on ore; otherwise he is at a
loss to account for the difference that
has been made in these charges within
the past few months on the same class
and value of ore.
To sustain his position the gentleman
stated that last week he sent in a con-
signment of ore on which the freight
and smelling charges were $140 This
week he had in another lot which came
from the same place in the mine and
in which there was a difference of only
IS cents in value to the ton, on which
the freight and working charges were
$3.50 per ton.
To prove that his Surmises were cor
rect. the gentleman gave as an illus
tration the fact that in May of last
year he sent in a lot of ore that as
s2yed $50 in the precious metals to the
ton and on which the freight and
working charges were IS. In Septem-
Der of the same year he shipped an
other lot of the same grade of ore and
OF the same assay value, on which the
freight and working charges were
$3.50. Again, in June last, on a ship
ment that carried values of $S3 to the
ton he was charged $1019 for freight
and working charges, while in January
of this year he sent in another lot of
the same value and of the same quail
ity Of ore, on which the charges were
$3.50.
As there has been no change in the
freight charges the gentleman argued
that there had been steady and rapid
advance in the treating charges
He has charged the ore buyers and
smelters with having made a raise in
their charges, but claims that he re-
ceives no satisfactory answers, unless.
from some of them, a denial on general
principles is made.
1t is understood that the ore buyers
claim that the treating charges during
the past year have been too low. and
that they will have to be somewhat
higher if they stay in the business: but
that it is their intention. to make the
charges as low as possible.

WEST DIP ORE BODIES.
Continuous on It's Strike For Over
$4,000 Feet.

1t was reported on the streets yes
terday that ore had been discovered on
the Gray Rooster group Of claims on
the west dip and that the mineral,
which is almost Identical with the Mer-
cur ore, carries good values.
1t is understood that when the ore
was first struck in an incline shaft
the vein was Is inches in width and
that within a few feet more it had
widened to three feet, and that ASSAYS
of the rock showed $40 in gold to the
ton, while the Indications are that the
ledge viii increase in size as work
progresses.
The discovery of pay ore on this
property proves the continuation of the
mineral-bearing zone for a distance of
over $4,000 feet, and this, in itself,
means great deal for the western
slope country.
The Gray Rooster group is located
5000 feet north Of the La Cigale, and
the finding of the precious metal with
IN its confines shows an unbroken con-
tinuation of the ledge for the distance
above stated, as follows:
On the Daisy group, 1000, feet
On the Omaha group, 5000 feet.
On the La Cigale group, 5000 feet
On the Edna group, 1000 feet
ON the Gray Rooster group 3 900 feet
On the Broken Hills group, 5000 feet.
An encouraging feature of the work
now being done in the development of
these properties is the fact that the
ore carries better values, compare
lively than that being extracted from
the mines on the Mercur side of the
divide, and with depth it is found that
the ore bodies are increasing in size
and value.
1t is believed that with the coming

that Mercur is now blessed
with, and that the mines there will
