THE LEAD TRUST AND PRICES

For some weeks Harry L. Days
organ, the Times, kept screeching
about the iniquity Of the smelter
trust because it did not pay mine
owners in general and the Hercules
owners in particular the full New
York price for their lead, though
Mr.. Day well knew that the reason
the New York price was 30 high
was because the so-called smelter
trust was upholding the market in
pursuance Of the agreements it had
entered into with the large lead
producers when they contracted
with it for the treatment Of their
ores. However, Mr.. Day chose to
ignore all this and to assail the
so-callcd trust, urging such lead
producers as had not contracted
their output to ship to independent
smelters.
On both occasions of the lowering
Of the New York market quotations
for lead Mr.. Day again rushed into
print abusing the trust for its per-
fidy in reducing prices and accusing
it Of doing 80 without any justitca-
ton.
In its last issue the Miner printed
a brief paragraph headed Why
Lead Fell" We hope this came
to Mr.. Days attention as it set
forth on the authority Of the
Chicago Mining World that the
reason the American Smelling 4
Refining company, improperly
called the smelter trust, reduced
its price for lead half a cent a
pound was because independent
plants have been quoting the mar
ket at discount" and added
significantly, "of course the inde-
pendents will retaliate. b"
What did Mr.. Day expect? Did
he think the so-called smelter trust
would be foolish enough to keep up
the quotation by increasing its sur
plus stock at high prices while such
people as himself were shipping all
the lead ore they could to Compel
ing independent plants which were
discounting the market on it?
Well, hardly.
The question naturally arises did
Mr.. Day know what he was squeal-
ing about?

The West Nine Miles diagonal

and blocky formation that looks
very favorable. 4 The two foot ore
streak which II has been following,
like its predecessors has been left
on the footwall side. There ID no
sign yet OF a hanging wall. though
the ledge has already been proved to
be over 40 feet wide.

It looks very much to the Miner
as if the magnates of Wall street
had pulled off a very successful job
on the public. 1t believes that they
deliberately put up the price OF
copper to the unreasonable and alb
normal figure Of % cents a pound
for the express purpose OF first
booming copper stocks and selling
them to the public and then ham,
mering them down, when the price
Of the metal slumped as they had
planned it should, and buying
them back. They, OF course, knew
that such an extortionate price for
copper as Is cents a pound would
90 stimulate production and reduce
consumption as to eventually create
. surplus and that when this condi-
ton was realized a slump in the
price was inevitable. They could
then hammer the stocks Gas they
have done) down to the prices at
which they wished to buy them
back Gas they are doubtless now
doing or preparing to do) as they
are also well aware that when the
panic is over the price Of the metal
and, then the prices Of the stocks
viii quickly rise again to normal
figures. Something Of the same
kind 81 game has also been worked
III connection with lead stocks.
The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1907-09-26

II q temporary curtailment OF lead
production is deemed advisable by
the Federal company it is only
natural that such reduction should
take place in the output Of the
least productive mine.
The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1907-09-26

It would be very silly trust that
would bust itself trying TO keep up
the price Of lead to make money
for other people, but it could
scarcely be sillier than some Of the
mineowners who tried to give it the
double cross.
The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1907-09-26

Occur d'Alene people have no
reason to get uneasy about the mar
ket price Of either lead or copper.
World conditions guarantee that
neither can possibly fall as low as
it did 10 to Is years ago and yet
the mines OF this district were able
to make money then though not
nearly 80 well developed or equipped
as they are now and though many
of the conditions which now make
for economical production, such as
railroad facilities and competitor,
improved milling appliances, cheap
power and a market for by products
such as zinc, were totally lacking.
While investors have been able
to make no profits by buying Occur
d Alene stocks OF late those who
have had the courage to buy in the
face of generally declining prices
have secured investments that will
make them a lot Of money when
the tide turns, for as Shakespeare
says, There is tide in the affair6
of men that, taken at the food,
leads on to fortune. =" The ebb tide
is Just about to turn now. If you
wait till the food is in full swing
before embarking you may lose the
most profitable part Of the voyage.
The temporary laying off Of some
Of the miners at the Snow Storm
and Morning mines need cause no
uneasincss. Until the situation at
Butte adjusts itself the northwestern
copper smelters are necessarily I'M
able to use as much converter lin
ings as formerly and this curtail-
ment of demand has been 80
sudden that there has been no time
for the Snow Storm management to
make arrangements to market its
ore elsewhere AS it will now pro-
coed to do.
The squeeze to which all inves-
tors in Butte copper stocks are
being subjected by the the trust
magnates ought to cause the public
to turn their attention to the Occur
d'Alenes and there are evidences
that this movement has already
begun. The small investor has no
Business in Rockefeller company

nounces strike Of paying tale in
quantities. in the Transcontinental
company's property, stating that
the tale assays three per cent lead
and four ounces Of silver to the
ton. Since when did tale carrying
such values become valuable except
as an indication?
With the Spokane exchange out
Of business and much jobbery there
fore eliminated, the Wallace
brokers, if they wish TO popularize
and perpetuate their board, should
take prompt and radical action to
prevent the short selling Of local
stocks. A marked improvement in
prices and volume Of sales would
