The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1907-10-03
PROSPECTS ARE BRIGHT


---------
Have investors in Occur d'Alene
stocks or residents OF the district
any cause for uneasiness? The
Miner answers most emphatically
no. The outlook could scarcely be
brighter since prices for all the
country's products are good and
the demand for them is Unsuitable.
Take lead for instance, the metal
which we produce most largely.
Its present price though lower, than
it has been for some months is so
per cent higher than it was when
three Of our biggest mines were
acquired by the Federal company
at a cost Of approximately $15, OOO,-
GOO. These mines were paying
large and regular dividends, as
were all the rest of the producers
at that time, and every one Of
them would continue to do the
same if lead declined to three cents,
which it is in no danger Of doing.
The fact is that the price Of lead
is lower today than it is likely to
he in three months from now or at
any time in the future, but just the
same its present price is 80 much
more than producers were in the
habit Of receiving 10 or Is years
ago that they scarcely dared to
hope that they would ever get it.
Then, too, the demand for lead
ores never was greater. Trust
smelters and independent plants
are competing so fiercely for sup
plies Of wet ore that they are con-
stantly trying to buy the larger
shippers in order to assure them
selves Of the handling Of their entire
output.
With regard to copper we find
that since the district has developed
its first shipper smelters all over
the west are endeavoring to secure
a share Of the Snow Storms output
and that only the lack Of a proper
classification Of freight rates on ore
prevents their extensive use Of
Snow Storm ore right now. This
matter Of freight rates is one that
should be adjusted in 80 or 60 days
now that attention has been attract
ed to it from so many quarters.
As to the price Of ccpperit, too, is
high as compared with that obtain
able 10 to Is years ago when the
industry took its greatest strides
and forcibly attracted the attention
of the greatest capitalists in the
world by the enormous dividends it
was paying.
A few years ago nobody bothered
about zinc in this country. In
fact the whole Rocky Mountain
region was scarcely considered as
factor in the market. Its ores are
being more largely sought for every
day and the facilities for treating
them are being constantly increased.
The price for zinc has 80 fur
been well maintained and contin-
ucs to be above that Of lead.
Silver is about two cents an
ounce higher than the average price
during 1906 which, in turn, showed
II considerable advance over the
ruling prices for some time pre-
viously.
There is therefore nothing in the
present situation to justify the
slightest dependency. On the
contrary conditions are such that
4 boom for the Occur d'Alenes
seems. inevitable before long.
The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1907-10-03

With copper at Is cents, the
figure below which all experts
agree that it is unlikely to fall
even temporarily, the Snow Storm
is bonanza mine. More than
half its total earnings to date, made
by leasers, were gained when copper
averaged only a fraction over u
cents.
The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1907-10-03

Lead cannot under any circum-
stances fall to four cents a pound
as at that figure it could be ex-
ported at a profit. Had the mines
OF the Occur d'Alenes been able to
average that price for their product
their dividends would now total
nearer $50, 100000 than $50, OOO,-
600.

Only $500 Ya.r

That is what the Miner costs.

mining news.
The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1907-10-03

These times call insistently for
liberal advertising Of the Occur
d'Alenes. The district never need
ed publicity more than it does now
nor was it ever 80 impregnably
situated to justify it. All that has
to be done to attract capital is to
set forth the districts productivity
and dividend earning capacity, to
accentuate the unparalleled indiffer-
ence with which it is able to con-
template a reduction in metal prices
that has paralysed other camps;
and to recapitulate its splendid
opportunities for investors. What
are you doing to give it the pub
licity needed to insure its greater
prosperity?

The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1907-10-03

So far as the Miner can learn the
American Smelling 4 Refining
company, the so-called lead trust,
has never made any overtures to
the Independent producers of the
Occur d'Alenes looking to a reduc-
ton in the production Of lead.
The Engineering and Mining Jour-
nal has evidently been misinformed
on this point.

Of all the atrocities perpetrated
in the name of Record of Occur
d'Alene Dividends" that published
in the Press on Tuesday was the
worst. 1t scarcely gave the record
Of a single company right and its
grand total, which was only about
81 100000 off, was relatively as
accurate as any Of its figures. The
fact that the dividends were said to
be those paid in November" was
one Of the least harmful errors.

WASHINGTON, January 10.-Milton
Purdy, assistant to the Acknowledgement,
who was designated to make an
investigation OF the Brownsville af-
fair, returned to Washington to-
day from Texas and Oklahoma.
and reported to Secretary Taft. He ex-
poets to submit this evening a written
report on the Brownsville incident, sup
p%lementing and concluding the long tele-
graph and mail reports he has presented,
but it is stated that these reports will
not be made public until they are printed
and transmitted to the Senate, probably
next week.
1t is understood that the President will

message on the subject of the Browns
vile incident, and from some inquiries
that have been made it Is expected that
he will indicate that he has decided to
amend the original order Diminishing the
battalion cS the T~wenty-fifth Infantry,
so as to remove the bar against the
future employment of the men in the
civil service. The reason for this change
Is believed to be a conviction that there
Is a reasonable doubt as to the right
of the Executive, though clothed with
the power to regulate admission to the
civil service, to prescribe by name in

asked, pointing to Mr.. Mahon.
For answer Mr.. Mahon rushed across

Mr.. Smith, of Iowa. fa%cetiously re-

DROP CARLISLE SCHOOL.
Senate Subcommittee Cuts OH
Appropriation for Institution.

Appropriation for Institution.
WASHINGTON. d. c., January 10.-
Carlisle Institute, which was established
at Carlisle. Pa, in 1879, for the higher
education of the Indian, Is in danger q
being abolished. The subcommittee Of
the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs.
which has the Indian appropriation bill
under consideration, has agreed to report
an amendment striking out the appro-
priation for this school.
The reason advanced by the members
OF the committee Is that a school so far
way from Indian reservation IS not so
effective as the Western educational in-
situations for the Indians.
The appropriation bill as 1t passed the
House carried $3.50 900 for the support
of the school during the ensuing year.
The members of the subco%>nittee are
not confident that tho Senate will accept
the amendment, or even that the full
committee will follow its suggestion. but
they will make an effort to have 1t
adopted, believing that if they fail a
movement will have been started that
eventually will bring about the abolishs
ment of the school.
One member of the committee 1aId to
day that, while he was not ready to say
that the higher education of the Indian
had been a failure, few instances could
be cited where the Indian had made the
most of the benefits OF his schooling.

Gladys Shelton, the young lady who was

brought here Tomorrow.
When she can see the five negroes now
in Jail at Rustburg. they will be brought
here and carried before her for identif-
cation. There is an air OF mystery sur
rounding the movement OF Sheriff Beard
