Judging from The amount OF work
in progress this winter in the mines
of Cape Nome the output of gold next
spring will be the greatest in the his
tory of the peninsula. And what is
remarkable in this statement is the
fact that none of the big companies is
operating on an extensive scale.
Electrolytic copper is strong and
higher. 1t is reported the Calumet is
willing to sell 100000 pounds of cop
per at 1870 March copper exports
promise 10000 tons. The largest pro-
ducers declare stocks are small. both
in producers and consumers hands.
The Hecla Mining company, operat-
ing the Hecla silver-lead mine near

The Hecla is shipping its ores to the
Saida smelter in Colorado, where they
are fuxed with local silicious ores. The
Hecla has cut loose from the Ameri-
can Smelling & Refining company,
which is losing, in some measure, the
dominating position which it formerly
held in the Occur d'Alenes. The Bun
ker Hill & Sullivan is clear out of the
