TRICKS Of TRADE
IN SMELLING
Trust Is HuStling for Ore
Producers Urged to Move
Slowly.

Some queer things are being done by
the local management of the American
Smelling & Refining company these days.
On the 5th of the present month the COM
pany submitted a proposition and basis
on which it would handle the ores of the
Hecla company of Beaver county. The
terms did not look good and the matter
was allowed to drop. y couple of days
ago the company received a letter from
Manager c. w. Whitley. modifying some
of the clauses in the contract previously
submitted, the change having been made,
the letter claimed, at the request of th-
Hecla company.
THE funny thing about it is, said
Manager j. M. Reynolds yesterday, we
have made no request for modification;
these changes are offered without any
solicitation on our part.
But there was nothing tempting about
the proposition after the notifications
almost any kind of a change in the grade
of the ore would soak the Hecla company
good and hard.
That was one funny incident. Another
came to light during the afternoon. The
Biscuit Mining company, which operates
at Cherry Greek, Nevada, had the treat
ment charge on its ore cut down from
Sl7 to $3.50 ton. This ore carries about
80 per cent silica, the stuff that the smelt-
ing company is always in the habit of
penalizing at the rate of 10 cents per unit
for, the excess over iron. This would
indicate that the company is beginning
to need all kinds of ore and that il is
Just getting around to where 1t is willing
to make concessions TO get it.
II the producers of this region do not
get nervous. and simply decline to make
contracts with anybody for a little while
longer" said a mining operator who is
keeping in close touch with the situation.
they will get something half way right
in the matter of smelling charges. There
has been good wait already and il will
not make anybody bankrupt to wait a
little longer. Mr.. Guggenheim promises
to come out and fix everything ali right
next fall If necessary the producers had
better wait till next fall before resuming
production, because the thing to do is to
get things fixed right before entering in
to contracts.
another thing. Unless the man who
Is making a contract has been through
the mill and knows all about the bust
ness, my advice to him is to get some
expert at figures who has had expert
ence in figuring out the tricky clauses of
a smelling contract, TO go over the mat
ter with him. It is much easier to have
mistake corrected before the agree
ment is signed than it is afterwards. and
1t may mean dollars per ton. All smelt-
ing contracts that I ever made were
sugar-cOated; when the coating was re-
moved through experience the pill often
proved tosbe a bitter one. There are not
great many men who can properly dis
sect smelling contract, though most OF
them think they know all about it the
minute they read 1t over. About the sec
ond lot of ore they ship they learn there
was something about the thing that they
must have overlooked Later they find
many of them"

Big Bodies Of Fine 0xidized

Disclosures in the Golden Gate, the De-
Lamar end of the Consolidated Mercur
company's property at Mercur. are dem
onstrating that the old method of mining
and haste TO skim the cream and make
millions is to inure to the great benefit
of the company now in control, the Con-
solidated Mercur.
Some little time ago. said Manager
George H. Dern, who was in the city yes
terddy on business connected with the
handling of the Sunshine property. cit
was decided to sink a shaft down in the
Golden Gate ground for the purpose OF

early days but which has never been ac-
cessible since / took charge of the prop
critics. a few years ago. In sinking ia
feet we went through seventy feet of oxi-
died ore, some of it evidently from old
caved workings. and some of it from
entirely new ground. This ore carries
from s. or So up to $50 per ton in gold
and being all OXidiZed and requiring no
roasting. 1t can be handled at a mini
mum of cost. 1t seems to me that there
must have been a world of ore either
left standing or overlooked in this por-
ton of the Consolidated Mercur COM
pany's property, and we shall soon be
in shape to take II out.
I'VE are now drifting to connect with
the main working shaft in Golden Gate
ground and we have about 800 feet yet
to cover. AS we are working from both
directions with two shifts, 1t will not
take long. The miners covered 200 feet
of the distance last week.

FEDERAl-ElY LEVIES
FlVE-CENT ASSESSMENT

The new directors of the FederaI-Ely
company met yesterday morning and or

worth. treasurer, C.. W. Gnekow, the
bookkeeper in Mr.. Evans office. was
named as assistant secretary.
AS soon as the board of directors was
organized the matter of levying assess
ments was taken up and discussed, with
the result that, at the close of the de-
liberations. levy of cents a share was
made on the outstanding stock of the
corporation. 1t will. be delinquent April
70. while sale day is fixed for MAY IS
The first idea was to levy an assess
ment of 10 cents a share and collect il
in installments. 1t was finally decided
however. that a scent levy would meet
all obligations that would need to be
ers- BY that time the market NAV look
better and it is hoped that market may
then be found for treasury stock and
thus cut out the necessity of calling,
on the stockholders again. 1t is the in
tention during the present season to clear
up all Indebtedness against the company
and finish patenting up the ground. Near
ly enough work has already been done
to permit going to patent with such
claims as are yet being held under To-
cation rights. so it will not be an ex-
pensive task to clean that business up.
A. C. Ellis. jr.. and r. j. Evans yes
terday filed with the county clerk an
amendment TO the articles of incorpors-
ton of the Federal Ely Copper company
making the stock assessable. The amend
ment was adopted at 8 meeting of the

There were additional evidences of I'M
steadiness in the market yesterday and
toward the close 1t looked as though low

is not believed that anything approach

to justify that than there is to justify
