The Great Silver
and Lead Mines

OF the principal gold mines, for the
yield of the white metal is nowadays
so largely a by-product in the ex-
pioitation of r deposits containing
gold and copper, that the really dis
tinctive silver mines of any magni-
tude can be counted on the fingers
of one hand.
The Broken Hill Proprietary mine
in New South Wales continues to be
at the head of all the productive sill
e mines of the world. Next comes
the Tonopah Mining company Of
Nevada. 1t may be claimed that the
Federal Mining & Smelling company
should be given second place, because
1t makes a production bigger than
that of the Tonopah, but the Federal
company is a consolidation of five
properties. They are neighbors of
the Bunker Hill and Sullivan, in the
celebrated Occur d'Alene district.
The following data will be of in

enue and it promises to grow to much
larger proportions.
1t may be added hat the mines
OF British Columbia yield about go
600 tons of lead annually. and q
100000 ounces of silver. The Ion
lin district in Missouri contributes
1900 tons Of lead and the counties
OF st. Francois and Madison. also h
Missouri, produce 10000 tons. ont
OF the9350, 900 produced in the whole
United States. The total produc,...n
OF the world is about 100000 tons
Germany Yields 100000; Mex
leo 100000; Australia, 100, 900 tons
While the production of lead is
increasing, in response to the higher
prices for the metal and the greater
skill in milling methods. it is note
worthy that there is no such activ-
ity in the search for new mines as
there is in the exploration for cop-
per deposits.

At the last meeting of the Broken
Hill Proprietary company, It was
stated that the Barrier district had
since its discovery in 1885. Welded
100000 tons of ore, from which
100000 tons of lead and $500 o
ounces OF silver had been extracted
The value of the product was 6 o
ooo,oOo or nearly $500, 600, 900.
while the dividends paid aggregated
f~13,750,000 or $66,6S7,5oO. OF these
dividends the Broken Hill Proprie-
tary company has paid $44,3S7,2oo
on a capital of G3S4,OOO or s1.S62-
400. In the year ending May al.
1881 this mine produced 242.557
of ore, yielding S,79o.67o'
ounces of silver and 1853 tom Of
lead, valued at $~5,5O7,5OS. During

HIGH ASSAYS IN

CAMP In WHICH LOCAL PEOPLE
ARE NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
OF WINNEMUCCA.

G. A. Lane, a well known mining
man, arrived here yesterday from
Boyd basin, in the Pine Forest range,
twelve miles to the north of Dyke,
and about ninety miles from Winnie
mucca. Mr.. Lane brought with him
a number of samples of ore and the
assay returns from other samples
brought into Winnemucca from the
new district.
A strange coincidence about the
discovery of the @ district was that
L. Bryan, the p%rospector grubstaked
by Lane, and Ed Templin, another
~prospector staked by w. ]. Doug

city, met in the mountains, and
tossed up a silver dollar for the pick

LETT From the assays on both sides
OF the mountain there does not seem
to be much difference with regard to
choice. Mr. Lane brought the ASSAYS
from both sides.
We have opened up the ledge on

samples which / took to Winnemucca
We're taken out just before l left the

Mr.. Lane left for Goldfield last
night and he said that it was his in

Anaconda company's mines at Butte
produced ~2,979,90S ounce silver
during 1905, as an incident in COP
per mining. The copper mines OF
Bingham also yield silver, although
the amount is not enough to rank
them individually as important pro-
ducers of silver. The .Tonopah ore
contains a large proportion Of sill
yer, with the gold. The premier
mine of that district, the Tonopah of
Nevada, yielded ~$2,463,2OO in 1906.
the ore containing 3,194,3O9 ounces
of silver and 36,06S ounces of gold.
This mine is paying quarterly divi-
dends of $350,0O0, of which one
quarter comes from the Tonopah &
Goldfeld Railroad company. Dur
ing 1906 it earned $1,379,S67 in
profits, from $3.50 tons of ore.
the neighboring Belmont mine
earned $3S6,721 in profits from an
output OF 1853 tons, producing
nearly a million ounces of silver.
The three chief sources of lead are
quoted herewith and with these fig
lres we give the dividends paid by
mining companies, whose silver
production has already been stated:
