No. 1145 G. Street n. w. I


Washington, Aug 1O.-The annual re-
port of the United States geological
survey on lead production, which is just
completed, shows that during 1898 the
United States attained record by pro-
ducing about 10000 more short tons
than in the previous year when the
200, 900 mark was first passed in our
history with an output Of $4,000 short
tons.
The report gives an extended account
of the formation of the American
Smelling and Refining trust and
enumerates the United States Smelling
and Refining company of Great Falls
and Helena as among those entering
the trust
The report shows that the total pro-
duction of refined lead in 1897 was 291,-
036 short tons, 1898, 31069 tons; desil-
verified lead, including foreign base
bullion refined in bond, 1897, PAT, 4S3
tons; 1898, 267,S43; soft lead, including
a quantity of lead produced in the
Southern states, 1897, 43,553 tons; 1898,
42,779 tons; refined from foreign ores
and base bullion, 1897, S3,671; 1898, 3d.
945 tons; net American product 1897,
PIP, 900 tons; 1898, 222, 900 tons.
Since 1891 special returns from de-
silverizers have been made on the

The total value of the mineral produce

s7O9 Sic $50, against $64S. S04, 500 in 1897. This
shows an actual increase of $61 .0l1,S51. OF

year. and $433. $50. l4l in ores and minerals,
against $407,913,912 in 1897. The values
given for ores and minerals include S3&.-

bauXite, manganese and iron ores which
were used for making aluminium ferro-

Eighteen secondary products for which
statistics were collected derived from
some of the ores included in the totals,
had an aggregate value of $40, 432, 500 in
1898 against Sal, us, APO in 1897. There was
also a production of copper, lead, silver

BUTTE MENTION.

The retmbering of the Parrot shaft
is complete and shipments of ore are
now being regularly made. The ore is
sent to the Anaconda works. Sinking is
now in progress al this mine. Since
the general shut down the Parrot smell
ter has been entirely idle except a part
of the converter. This has been oper-
ating upon matte from the Colorado
works, reducing it to pig copper. 1t
is understood that the work is now
nearly completed.

is reached as representing the product
of the United States.
THE method based upon the smelt-
ers' returns Is given the preference be-
cause the smelter is closer to the source
of production and therefore much more
accurately reflects the output of The
mines. For compact districts. in which
the operations are conducted by large
mining companies, 1t is possible to ar
rive at close estimates of the lead con-
tents of the ore concentrates. But
nothing short of an elaborate, express
sive and yet untrustworthy census of
thousands of small and scattered mines
would make it possible to arrive at the
production of lead through the ore.
For the statistics of output we must
therefore rely upon the smelters, and
we are dependent upon them for the
data which enable the statistician to
trace the lead output to it's source ter
ritOrially.
so far as the statistics bearing on
the marketable supply of the metal are
concerned, the records of the desilver-
izng plants must be the guide. since
the refiner stands closest to the con-
sumner. His returns. therefore. are the
important ones from the commercial
point of vieW.'
The report further shows that during
1898 only 1874 ,953 pounds of lead in ores
originating in Montana was smelted at
the valley smelters in Denver, COM
pared with 3,597,023 pounds in 1897. 1t
also speaks of a slight increase in the
output of the Hecla Consolidated, and
the erection of the new smelter at Twin
Bridges.
The total production of marketable
lead in the United States in 1893 was
31O621 short tons. as compared with
291. O36 short tons. this including the to-
tai amount of the metal from domestic
and foreign sources. OF this large
quantity is exported, leaving the bal
ance available for home consumption.
The following estimate is presented OF
the consumption of lead in 1897 and
1898 The figures representing domestic
stocks are aggregates of returns re-
ceved by this office:

Defeated Again.

The high school eleven met the V. A.
second on Drislane's field last Monday. In
spite Of having beaten the visitors once this
fall, they we're thoroughly and squarely de-
fested. The disgrace, tor disgrace it is, of
the result belongs mostly to the members
of the team who made the defeat possible
through their lax practice. The players
who got so stuck on themselves were not
new players as only two of the half dozen
to whom the vast glory of the team belongs
were green men, and among the members
to blame are two veterans. That V. A was
heavier is no excuse, her team work was
vastly superior to the home article.
On the kick off v. A. brought the ball
to the center where it was lost on downs
Thompson then made the only run of much
account for the home team, gaining about
so yards on criss-cross. From a point
near her own line V. A. then easily pushed
down the field for a touchdown. No goal
A second touchdown for V. A. was mar
rowly prevented by the call of time for the
first halt. The second halt was much like
the first, except that V. A. kicked goal
after making touchdown. The old p ay-
ers put up their usual coed individual play
which will help but never replace team
work. As usual Busby & and Thompson
were particularly good willie among the
new players. McKinnon seems to be the
find OF the season, tackling in way that
some of the more experienced would do
well to initiate.
