The Story that the Smelters Refuse to
Pay Cash for Ore is Denied

upon their regular contracting patrons
an easing up in the shipments of
grades aud classes OF ore with which
their plants are already congested. To
help out the situation, wherever it is
possible 10 do 50, ores are being dI-
verified first to one plant and her to
another in different parts of the
country.
A message from Goldfeld Thursday
night said the Mohawk had been
closed down because the American
Smelling company had refused to
pay cash for the ore. In the first
place, the Mohawk and other Nevada
ores are not purchased by the smelt-
ing companies direct. These ores
reach the smelters through the sam
ping mills throughout the Nevada
camps, which buy them. By the time
they each Salt Lake or the several
other markets in which they are dis
posed of, they have lost their identi-
ty. so it would be impossible to say
that a smelling company has refused
to pay for Mohawk or any other ore
similarly shipped.
But the statement is made here that
lot u - itttlNtu anu dCCGDb-
ed is being settled for in precisely the
am manner that settlements have
been made all the time. If ore is
shipped from Utah, Nevada or Idaho
mines to Colorado, Nebraska or other
points more remote from the point of
reduction han are the Salt Lake
plants, it requires just that much
longer to get returns. And it evident
~ follows that in cases where all the
works have loaded up on certain
grades of ore and that they are lack
ing in others, there must be a slowing
down somewhere until things are
Strengthened out again. These and
dozens of other reasons are advanced
in smelling c~oireles why producers
have been asked to help the situation
out.

An unusual condition eonfronts the
mining and smelling industries Of this
region, and, in discussing it, the first
thing to say is that it is not true that
the smelters here are refusing to paw
cash for the ores they buy. Neither
the Silver King Coalition nor any
other company has made such a state
ment, but such inference has peer
drawn, undoubtedly, from conditions
that have arisen. This was made
plain yesterday in talks with both
srnelter and mine managers in this
city.
Here is the situation: During the
present season the mines of Utah, Ne.
vada Idaho and other sections of the
West have been producing heavier
than at any time in the history of
mining. The smelter companies have
hustled with all the energy at their
command TO meet the requirements Of
the industry, and, while their capac
tiles have been materially increased,
manufacturing, railroad, fuel, labor
and all ither conditions have been
such that it was difficult for reduc
ton companies to handle all the bus
mess that was offered. This has been
particularly true, as it has and does
apply to the production of sulphide
as compared with the output of oxi
died ores
The result has been that the bins.
yards and all available places about
the smelling works of this valley arc

handling only as they can be worked
up with characters and grades Of ore
into which and with which they may
be mixed to make desirable charges
for the furnaces.

condition of affairs. the smelling com
panies are temporarily compelled to

SEEKS TO KEEP GOLD
AT HOME
England and France Raise Discount
Rates, but Concede Ability of New
York to Command Currency
for Trade Credits

The contest of the European money
market to retain their gold resources
was indicated by the simultaneous ac-
tion Thursday of three of the large
central banks of Europe and a call
for a meeting on Friday Of the gov
erning board Of the fourth. The Bank
of England advanced its rate of dis
count from 6 to Z per cent, a rate not
before reached since 1873. The Bank
Of France advanced its regular dis
count rate from 3 IL to 4 per cent,
and fixed the rate for loans on seeur-
tiles at 4 IL per cent. The National
Bank of Belgium advanced its rate OF
discount from 5 12 to 6 per cent, and
DR.. Koch, director of the Imperial
Bank of Germany, called a meeting
of the law governing board for Fri
day, at whiehit is expected to advance
the discount rate form 6 to Z per cent.
These movements in Europe are re-
garded as an indication of the abil-
ity of New York to command the
gold and the efforts of the European
banks to protect themselves against
the demand.
Even the high discount rates, how
ever, dft TeShfutu as lHsullcleH 10
prevent the further Importation of
gold into this country, in view of the
large credits which are being created
by the shipment of wheat and cotton.
The high rate fixed by the English
bank is not expected to entirely ar
rest exports from London to New
York, but is counted upon in London
to equalize the distribution of the
yellow metal among European money
centers so as to offset losses to Amer
lea by importing gold from other plac-
es. The fact that the Bank of France
had advanced its rate. although only
to 4 per cent, is considered a reeogni-
tion of the severity of the pressure
upon the banks great gold resources.
This action is of specific significance,
because it is the consistent policy of
the aBnk of France to afford com
merce the benefit of a low and uni
form rate of discount, and ever to
buy gold at a loss unless conditions in
the international money market make
it necessary to protect the reserve.
