American Smelling & Refining
Co. Has Announced a New
Ruling Regarding 1t,
WILL HELP SOME PRODUCERS.
Effects Those Who Enter Open Market
With Their Orc Settlements at
SJ.25 Per 100 Pounds.

Manager c. W. whitley OF the local
plants OF the American Smelling and
Refining company, made the official am
nouncement today that new ruling
has been promulgated from executive
headquarters, rs regards to the local
settling price Of lead. HERETOFORE; at
least for some months past, the local
producer who entered the open market
lead--less the fixed charges, penalties
etc. plus the premiums on certain
classes--the arbitrary price Of SO so per
100 pounds. This does not effect the
larger producers, however Companies
sufficiently strong to dictate to very
large degree what they should get for
their product, have, in most cases en-
tered into contracts with the smelling
corporation in which the price on lead
was fixed above the 81 mark, This Is
the case with the Daly. West Silver
King and other such mines whore lead
is an important part Of the composition
( Of the ores produced. Il was the little
fellow who had to settle ON the lower
arbitrary basis
But under the new order Of things
the big smelling corporation proposes
10 give the little fellow n better show
to make money out of his lead and II
has sought to bring about n new basis
of settlement.
The price win be fixed in about the
same manner as copper has been FOR
some time past IN other words, as
Manager Whitley expressed It today
"the new settling price Is based upon
the actual average weekly selling price
OF finished, desiverized domestic lead in
New York city for lots Of fifty tons or
more deliverable within 30 days. The
price fixed for today is N,25 per 100
pounds
Temporarily" added Mr. Whitley,
there VIII be two local lead quotations.
There are some who win stll continue
TO receive only $780, in accordance
with their contracts But these have
about all expired, then the new rule Will
apply"
The change was not unexpected.
From reliable source the information
was received some time ago that the
transformation would take place during
the present month, II has come and,
II Is believed, a more stable and salts
factory price VIII be maintained In the
future.
As has been stated. the big producer,
Is not benefited by the change. But the
little ones are. The price viii fiuctuate,
hut on the whole better satisfaction viii
be given. Consequently the recogni-
ton given In the manner stated viii be
hailed with satisfaction in every camp.
