SHELTER WANTS
COLORADO ORE
American Company Trying to
Land Output of Jesse
Knight Bonanza.

During the past two or three days
the American Smelling & Refining COM
pany has been dickering with the man
agement OF the Colorado company with
view to getting the company to ship
ore to the American plant until the new
smeiter at Tintic has been finished. J..
William Knight, manager of the knight
interests, who was up from Provo yes
terday, did not deny that overtures for
Colorado ore had cen made, but he eX-
pressed the opinion that nothing would
come of the dickering. He was inclined
to think that there would be no ship
ments from the property until the new
smelter was ready to take the ore.
For all that" said Mr.. Knight, sit
has been decided to put a few men back
to work in the old shaft workings of
the Colorado property and do some de-
velopment. What ore may be taken out
in doing this work will be piled in the
bins at the mine, which are now empty,
and held there until it can be moved
down to the smelter. We are now put
ting on men to extend the railroad to a
point closer to the new shaft workings
and from there on to the Beck Tunnel.
There is considerable rock work on the
grade and, as il was necessary to start
up the compressor at the old Colorado
works in order to get the use of power
drills for this work, l. was thought adj
visable to take advantage of the neces-
sity by utilizing some of the power in
the further development of the mine
This is the reason, also why it has
been decided to resume work in the
joint shaft near the Crown Point lines
l think work was commenced in that
shaft this morning"

GOLD MINE IN
BEAVER COUNTY
Two Hundred Feet of Free
Milling Rock Opened in
the Kitty CIough.

Samuel 4. TaTbett. vice president and
general manager of the Little Beaver
Mining e Reduction company, is UP
from Milford on company business. He
reports "a most encouraging outlook for
the future of the Kitty ClOugh proper
ty, that was some time ago acquired
by his company. So well is the ground
responding to development that he is
now negotiating for lease on a thirty
ton mill belonging to the Estella COM
rany, with property not far from his
mines, in order that he may make the
proposition at least pay its own way.
The Kitty Clough is located about
six miles westerly from Milford, and
two lodges run through the ground.
One is an iron ledge carrying about
$3.50 per ton in gold and 80 TO so per
cent iron, and the parallel ledge, dis
tant about forty feet, carries little else
than gold. A shaft was sunk 100 feet
on the iron vein and then a cross-cut
was made to the gold vein. From the
cross-cut this gold vein has been drift
ed in for 200 feet, and the work is still
going on in ore that runs from $3.50 to
$40 per ton in gold.
Manager Tarbett states that il is now
the purpose to sink the shaft in the
iron vein another 100 feet, cross-cut to
the gold vein and open up another level
at that depth. Here he believes the
values Will be better and the ledge

WHY THE MINES
Do NOT SHIP ORE
Figures That Explain What
Losses Would Be Under
Present Conditions.

The question is repeatedly asked why
the large number of silver-lead prop
critics that were making money and
some of them paying dividends last year
are-now producing but little or out of
the market entirely. 1t is argued that,
in times gone by the mines have con-
tinued to operate and make money, even
when prices of silver and lead were
lower than they are today.
Let me explain feature or two OF
the business" said a we'll known OPP
orator yesterday. Conditions were
never just as they are today and if my
recollection serves me right, there never
was time when both metals were as
low as they are at the same time; but
if they were, it was only the real high
grade mines that could stand the gaff.
Il know of a mine in this state that
last year produced about 500 tons of ore
month and paid dividends of $4,000
month out of the proceeds. If that
mine were to ship a corresponding grade
of ore today and in like quantity, about
the hest is could do would be to break
even. To illustrate: The ore of the
mine 1 have in mind averaged about 10
per cent lead and 40 ounces silver.
Without figuring in fractions, it may
be stated that last year the average
price of silver was 5000 per ounce.
Since the slump, the average price has
been about 55.32c, or 10c an ounce less.
That means a net loss of 81 a ton on
forty ounces, does it not? The average
price of lead last year was $5.35 per 100
pounds; since the slump the average
has been, say, $40. or difference of
$1.65 per 100 pounds, On 500 pounds OF
lead, the amount In a ton of 40 per cent
ore, the difference is $l.65 per LOG
pounds, or $500 per ton. Add this to
the loss of 81 per ton on the silver and
we have a shrinkage in value amount
| ing to $17.20 per ton. On 800 tons OF
| ore, the monthly output of the mine,
this means a loss of $1S,760 per month,
| or nearly the amount of the dividend
paid. There is no such thing as get
| ting away from the showing made by
| these figures. but that is not all. This
ore canrOt now be marketed under the
old contract. at all, as the smelter is
| not taking ore. If it was, there would
| be no object in shipping it. Further
| than that the American Smelling COM
| pany is now demanding at least 81 a
| ton more as a treatment charge on that
| character Of ore than the company was
| required to pay under its old contract
so, if shipments were made to the lat
| ter plant and all other features of a
contract that might be made were as
| liberal as those of the old one, there
would be an additional shrinkage of 81
a ton, would there not? Then the COM
pany would have to lose instead of 3d.
100 per month, on an output of 800 tons
$50 per month.
Here. then, are the reasons why the
| Park City mines have cut production
and ceased paying dividends, and this
| is why the Tintic mines are tied up;
|
ducing from any of the lead-silver prop
| ositiOnS that must depend on anything
| but the richest kind Of rock for tl1eil
earnings, and it is why none of them
low or high-grade, feels disposed to shiL
at this time"

STRIKE Is MADE IN
LEHI-TINTIC PROPERTY

Word from Tintic is to the effect that
a strike has been made i'm the Lehi-
Tintic coInrany's property, about three
miles North of Eureka that is likely to
prove most important. 1t is stated on
what is considered good authority, that
the ninetY-fcot shaft has just encoun-
tered between three and four feet of ore
that runs 3C.S per cent lead and 1916
ounces silver per ton; that the ore
carries a large excess of iron and that
the ledge tapped is apparently about
six feet thick. In a tunnel driven by
the company a small fissure is also said
to have been cut that carries a few
inches o. ore running over 50 per cent
lead and better than 10 ounces silver,
while the ere from both tunnel and
shaft shows a trace of gold.
Work has been progressing at the
property all winter and the belief at
camp is that the shaft workings, at
least, are going to show up a fine body
OF shipping ore as development pro-
crosses

NOT SOLID FOR JOHNSON
Bryan Has Strong Supporters on
the Minnesota State Cen
trail Committee.

St Paul, Mimi, March 5.-The Dis
patch today says:
One of the biggest political meetings
in the history of Democratic politics
in Minnesota is expected tomorrow,
when the members of the Democratic
state central committee gather in st.
Paul to fix dates for the coming state
conventions and arrange plans for the
campaign. The committee is composed
of eighty-five members, and it is ex-
pected that each will be represented
either in person or by proxies. In fact,
proxies have been eagerly sought by
the followers of Governor Johnson, the
one idea being to prevent their falling
into the hands of the Bryanites. Mem
bers of what is known as the govern
or's Kitchen cabinet credit the COM
mittee with nine out-and-out Bryan
ties. The members, 1t is claimed, will
make strenuous objections TO any
johnson endorsement, but they are SO
far in the minority that their protest,
beyond making trouble, will avail them
nothing. 1t was rumOred today that
the committee would be the opening
gun in Governor JOhnsOn's campaign
for the Democratic presidential nOm-
nation If ii is he is not taking any
hand in the preliminaries, it being in
directly the work of his admirers.

DOING OF UNLISTED
STOCKS ON EXCHANGE

There has got to be a slowing down
in the business done in Tintic stocks
before much time and attention can
be given to the unlisted shares. And
this suggests the thought that all COM
panieS whose shares are handled in this
market ought to list their stocks so
that regular and authentic quotations
might be made upon them. The eX-
change has outgrown all its early i'm
projections and its business is now con-
Quoted in a manner that makes il the
peer of any mining stock exchange in
this country. The best protection a
mining stock can now have is to be
quoted on this exchange. The compa-
MES owe 1t to their shareholders to
privide this protection, and they ought
to be willing to do it without urging.
The only sale caught yesterday was
one of 200 shares of Silver King Coali-
ton, at S3.75. Bingham Standard Cop
per was quoted at zoe at 2012c, Federal
Ely at 1012c at 12c, Mason Valley at
S120 bid, while 1915 was asked for
Ohio Copper and 12c for Uintah Treas

BUTTE MINES BEING
WHIPPED INTO SHAPE

JOnH NTll16, superintendent OF the
Amalgamated Copper mines, stated
early in the week that 5000 tons of ore
would be shipped from the Butte mines
to the Washoe smelter daily by the
end of this week, and that in a month
the capacity of the smelter will be sup
piled. Capacity means about 10000
tons of ore daily. There are about p
700 men now at work in Amalgamated,
North Butte and Butte Coalition mines,
and about $500 more will be added to
the mining force alone, and 5000 else
where.
Operations are being resumed at the
following properties: Anaconda COM
pany-St Lawrence. High Ore, Dia-
mond, Mountain Con. and j. I. c.;
Trenton-Gagnon mine; Parrot-Little
Nina and Parrot; Washoe-Poulin,
Clear Grit and Moonlight mines; Red
Metal-Tramway, Rarus and Minnie
Healy mines: Butte & Boston-Gray
Rock, Silver Bow and Berkeley mines;
North Butte-Speculator, Edith May
and Jessie mines. Minnie Healy will
be mined through the Tramway.
Retimbering the Parrot shaft has not
been concluded and will not be for at
least two weeks. In the meantime
Parrot mining will be confined to the
Little Nina property. Some retimber-
ing is also being done at the Never
sweat and repairs made on the engine
which will require about ten days
longer.
A small number of men will be put
to work in all the other mines of the
Amalgamated company, and the force
will be gradually increased.

COPPER STOCKS IN

which it is secured for use in this de-
partment of The Herald:
Boston, March 5-The market was with

sagged back to lower prices at the close
We hear of quite a large short interest in

rallies are feeble, but almost every time
new prices are being made and the set
backs do not go so far.

Mining Notes.

Two cars of ore from Utah and two
from Nevada mines were released from
the Taylor & Brunton sampler yester-
day.
Willard F. Snyder left yesterday aft
ernoon for Golconda and the Gold Cir
Gle district. He expected to go through,
storm or no storm, so there must be
something of Importance brewing. His
engineer, S. NJ. Levy, went to the camp
from GolcOnda on Wednesday.
There is to be a meeting of the ex-
ecutive committee of the Utah Mine
Operators association on Tuesday
next. While there has been little said
concerning what the association is do
ing, it must not be inferred that the
organization has ceased to exist.
J. William knight stated yesterday
that no word of a new strike in the
Mountain Lake had been received from
the superintendent, and he was quite
certain that one had not been made.
When the main contact would be
reached, he said, was problematical.
The Mohawk Silver Mining company
of Park City filed articles of incorpora-
ton with the secretary of state yester-
| day. The capital stock is $4,000. with
shares at 10 cents each. The officers
are: Patrick Heenan, president; John
Doyle. vice president; Dan H. Koran,
secretary and treasurer.

MINING STOCK EXCHANGE.
Business Continues Heavy at Slight
Iy Lower Prices.

Prices We're not as strong yesterday as
they were on Wednesday, but the volume
of business done was heavy throughout
both calls. Colorado opened at Wednes-
DAYS closing price of $3.50 and closed at
SO O5. That there has been considerable
manipulation of this stock is certain.
Buyers were freely taken around S.lo
and the probabilities are that the stock
will show greater strength again. How
ever there is nothing to indicate that
the least inside support is being given to
any stock. and it is therefore easy for the
professional element to form comblna-
lions and put the prices up or down at
will MANY of the stocks are worth all
and more than they are selling for and
they are good to hold. but it is risky
business to play on unprotected margins.
During the two regular and open board
calls a total of Isl, 200 shares of stock, with
a selling value of SIS, 593 %, changed hands.
Following is the list Of final quotations
and record of sales made during the day:
