There have been various rumors rs
20 the effect that these recent consolid-

the fact that the National Lead COM

there viii be no serious competition be-

potent I'm the American Smelling

Lead company. They are supposed
TO be very largely interested In the

the Occur d'Alene combination Is con-
cerned Il Is probable that the interest
Of the Standard people Is limited 70 the
smelling plant at Monte Cristo, In
Washington, which was owned by MI
Rockefeller, and has been put into the
consolidation at high nominal value.
This Is, however enough to give stand
ard interests a considerable snare IN

1T Is a reasonable surmlse, therefore,
that the four big companies will co.

GENERAL WEAVER'S SUCCESS
Seems 10 Have Solved the Problem OF
saving Snake River Gold.

The operations OF Gen. J. j. Weaver
on the Snake river In Idaho, are result
ing quite successfully. SO confident was
he that the -four gold. contained In the
sands of the great stream could be
saved that he went to great expense In
rigging up dredge, which has been
In commission for the past two months
or more.
At the request OF Judge Olden, pres
ldent OF the Bank OF Commerce OF
Boise, Ed Bcrnon, mining engineer
of that place, made an inspection of the
works recently, and expressed himself
fs being very agreeably surprised at
the results being accomplished, He
says
II inspected the dredge and mines
that Gen. Weaver Is operating on
Snake river. | prospected the gravel
bar and found by pan test from 80 TO
60 cents to the cubic yard. The general
had washed about is or 20 yards before
| got there. lie thought he had about
500. but the Snake river gold Is de-
ceiVing, I will put IT at ti5, that would
be about $40 to the cubic yard. Your
dredge is capable Of handling 1000
yards In "a hours. You can eaisly see
what that means. When say that the
Snake river gold Is decelvng, | mean
this. that II IL very fine and flakey,
making 1t more bulgy and a person not
accustomed TO handling that class of
gold dust viii be easily deceived In
guessing at It's value. II Is the highest
grade Of gold we have in this country.
about 10 fine.
You no doubt win be surprised at
the discrepancy between my banning
test, which shows from 35 to so cents
per cubic yard and the results obtained
with the dredge, There Is but one solu-
ton Of thls-the gravel Is thoroughly
impregnated with those fine particles
Of gold, 80 light and fine that you cam
not save them I'm pan nor any other
device that Is known, except your tank
and saving devices connected with It,
Hence the discrepancy.
"The general had the misfortune OF
breaking n small cog wheel In the ma
chine which delayed him several days
In making his test run. The wheel
came the night before left for Boise
AS we left the next morning he made
run of % minutes and shut down;
drew 10 inches out Of the tank that ex-
posed the upper quick silver cups and
TO our establishment the quick silver
was coated with that almost liquld
gold. With the best gold saving ma
chine that we have had all thta gold
would be lost. II has never been saved.
/ am convinced that the miners have
lost 40 per cent Of their gold. am also
satisfied that your method OF saving
gold will revolutionlze the mining In
dustry In this country"

THE LEAD COMBINATIONS.
Review Of Present Conditions Ivy a New

In summing up the lead situation in

with the organization OF the United
Lead Company and the new concern
which is taking over all the principal
mines OF the Occur d'Alenes. the lead

come fairly well consolidated. The

furnishing about 40 per cent OF the
domestic production Of lead. The smolt-
ing Industry Is effectually concentrated
in the hands Of the American Smelling
& Refining company. The manufaC-
turing industry is now practically de
vided between the National Lead COM
pany and the United Lead company.
There are n few concerns which remain
outside, but they are OF no great inn
portance. The National Lead com
pany and the United Lead company
win be TO certain extent compet-
tors, although at the present time
there Is considerable difference IN their
principal interests. The National Lead
company Is essentially a producer Of
white and red lead, but TO a compare
lively small extent Is engaged In the
manufacture OF sheet, pipe and other
metallic products The United Lead
company has taken over the principal
factories making shot, sheet, pipe and

Anthracite Coal Ontnut

Philadelphia, Sept. i6.--Ohiclals of the

no step has yet been taken toward a
curtallment of the output Of anthracite
coal and that the matter has not even
been considered 1t was admitted,
however, by one official that the market
for domestic sizes was practically dead
ana he said that he would not be sur
prised IL the miners were put on foul
days a week In a short time. Mean
While, independent operators without
any storage facilities for their surplus
output are said to be cutting the prices
for the domestic sizes MS much az 40
cents per ton Offering the coal for $3.50
at the mines, as against the circular
price Of 1915.
