KINSLEY DISTRICT Is
COMING TO THE FRONT

After a trip of inspection to the prop
critics of the Kinsley Development COM
pany in the Kinsley mining district, west
of Deep Creek, Manager Newton Dunyon
is now convinced that the principal ore
shoots that have been under development
are going to the deep.
while we have been doing work out
there for the past three years" said
Mr.. Dunyon yesterday. the comparative
isolation of the district and the sue
cessive bOOms of Nevada gold camps, to-
gether with difficulties in securing and
keeping competent miners. have made re-
suits come slower than they ought to
have done. We are getting along first
rate now, however. and believe this will
be the best year we have had. In open
cuts and in prospecting shafts a great
deal of material has been moved. The
first shoot of ore we encountered was
cut off with pOrphyry dyke. We have
now traced it up and found the point
where it is going down and. during the
season we shall tap ii at considerable
depth in a cross-cut from a working shaft
we are now putting down. Where ex-
posed. there is now from two to three

LEAD TOUTED
TO GO HIGHER
Mining Worlds Review of the
Market for Past Week
Scents a Rise to SIS.

Early in the year lead was freely Of
fered for sale at as low at $3.50 per 100
pounds, f. o. b. New York. which. by the
way, was the lowest price in a long while,
says the Mining World of Chicago in its
issue of yesterday This decentralization
in the market was the result of the ag-
gressive competition of Independent pro-
ducers which compelled the American
Smelling & Refining company TO Withdraw
as the so-called lead trust There IS
also no doubt that the agitation for con-
gressional investigation of the "smelter
trusts tactics in the lead market hast
ened radical action by its managers, so
today there is free for all fight Tor
what little business is offering.
During the past week interest in the
lead market has been revived by the bull
ish feeling of the "smelter trust" in ad-
vancing its price to 81 per 100 pounds, the
highest quotation since early December
last To be sure the smaller producers
likewise raised their price-schedule, and
If current events are correctly interpreted
there will be q further advance, perhaps
to IS per 100 pounds in the not distant
future.
The encouraging feature OF the situa-
ton Is that the lots of lead purchased
speculatively when prices were lower are
nearly all worked off among small buyers.
This. coupled with the fact that opera
lions in the producing centers of the
Occur d'Alenes in Idaho, Leadville, Colo,
the Mississippi valley territory, Mexico
and British Columbia, have during the
past few months been below normal owing
to the curtailed consumption and low
market price, suggests that the situation
in lead Will improve henceforth. OF course
the rehabilitation of the lead Industry will
depend largely on the position of silver.
for much the larger part of the domestic
supply of lead is obtained in refining both
metals.
A popularity about the present position
OF the market is that in the United States
"a country which contributes over one
third of the worlds supply of lead-better
prices are being obtained than are quoted
in the European markets. The American
duty OF rs cents per pound acts as d
check on imports, so competition here
cannot well be initiated by European pro
ducers.
Foreign production has fallen off some
what during the past three months, and
we are advised that the principal sellers
are experiencing duh business. There
appears to be a feeling prevailing that
their stocks until the market for their
manufactures improves, and no matter
how much the price is shaded the lead
market does not seem to gain orders.
May be with the betterment of trade in
the United States there shall also return
to Europe the prosperity for which lead
producers are waiting so anXiously. 1t
VIII also be instructive to watch the CT
feet of the expiration on June 20 of the
Canadian lead bounty law. In 1907 the
United States imported 11,07S.557 pounds
of lead Gin ore and base bullion from
Canada.

UTAH COPPER'S
MARCH RECORD
Mills Have Been Chewing Up
Ore at Rate of Nearly
5000 Tons Daily.

What's new at the Utah copper mills
or mines?' was asked Manager d. {.
Jackling yesterday.
Nothing new at the mills: nothing
new at the Mines" was the laconic re-
ply. LAS a matter of fact, We are run

it will soon be so tame for You news
gatherers that you would as soon e4,

can say to you now is that March Is
going to be the banner month for pro
duction. We shall not quite reach IL
but we shall come close to treating
5000 tons of ore a day in the company 5
two mills for the month. Everything IS
running like clOckwOrk and from now
on IL is simply going TO be question %
adding additional sections to working
units of the new mill and corresponding
ly increasing the output of copper.
While Manager lacking characterized
this important bit of information as
nothing new" it will be viewed differ
emily by the mining world which IS
watching the development of the COM
pany's stupendOus enterprise with prob
ably more genuine interest than is being
centered on any other mining enterprise
in the country today. The fact that eV
erYthing is being so nicely adjusted that
the management is beginning to take ev-
erything as matter of course. tells a
story that will ring true in the minds of
such news. 1t means that ali there is to
the proposition now is to keep adding
to production and thereby build up the
earnings to such a figure that the enter
prise will be recognized as the greatest
copper mining and milling enterprise in
the world.
The amount of available ore that has
been developed i'm the mine is already
such that the stockholders will not have
to think about that for the next fifty
years and when that period has passed
it will be recognized that the mountain
of ore in the company's empire of ground
has merely been scratched

GENUINE MINING NOW ON
IN THE FRElBURG CAMP

One of the big local interests in the
Wyoming-Freiburg company. the COM
pany that is building up a great produce
ing mine in the Freburg district, Lin
coin county, Nevada, has returned from
a visit with some of the big banking and
sheep raising men OF Wyoming, who are
also most prominently identified with the
undertaking and who, like the local con-
tingent, are said to be enthusiastic over
the prospects for the companys future.
AT the property 1t is said that, after
doing considerable prospecting and sur
face development work the point at
which to drop down a permanent operat-
ing shaft has been selected and the bore
has now attained a depth of more than
100 feet. 1t is the purpose TO sink anoth-
er 100 feet before drifting begins and then
the ore shoots will be developed at regu-
lar intervals as the shaft is sunk and lev
els are esta blished. A great deal of fine
Silver-lead ore has already been encOun-
tered, but il is understood that the large
permanent shoots cannot be expected I'M
til depth enough has been attained to
reach the solid formation.
Freiburg is attracting more attention
right now than il has done in twenty
five years. The e. d. & II. company.
controlled by d powerful St. Paul crowd
is working a large force of men on its
property. adjoining the Wyoming on the
west. Last fall the company erected all
necessary buildings and put in everything
needed in the way of tools and equip
ment for a genuine campaign of real
mining.
The Tri- Metallic company. operating on
the south side of the Wyoming. has been
pushing work for long time and now
boasts developed mine that is attract
ing wide attention. Other properties i'm
the district are being rounded into form
with vigOr and men from all over the
country are being attracted to the dis
trict
An automobile line from Phoebe to

from the mines has recently been estab-
lished and the operators of the district
are now making arrangements to secure

Mr. Gates. who is extremely conserva-

he declared that in his opinion the pros

very flattering.
