Battle Mountain Iron Mines

What is considered to be the largest
deposit of commercial iron ore in the
west was purchased here this week by
w. s. Wilhelm and J. s. Parker.
These gentlemen intend to begin devel-
oping the deposit at once and from all
indications it bids fair to rival the
largest iron mines in the world. The
ore is free from refractory element and
of a chemical purity that will enable it
to be converted into finished products
of q high grade at minimum cost.
That Battle Mountain may become q
second Birmingham is entirely within
the ream Of possibilities. At present the
most Of the steel and iron used on the
Pacific coast is brought from the east at
high cost for transportation, so that
an industry of this kind that would
manufacture steel and iron would be
Of vast Importance not only to this
section of Nevada but to the entire

MINES PAY $15o,0oo,0oo.
Occur d'Alenes Produce Great Wealth
Of Ore in 1907 and 1908.

The record of production by the sill
yer, lead, gold and copper mines of the
Occur d'Alene district within the last
year or two and the splendid showing
made by dividends declared and paid in
1907 and 1908 are fitting climax to
the record for the last quarter of cen
fury, in which these mines have con-
tributed to the metallic wealth of the
country in round numbers $150,000, 900.
OF this vast sum the lead mined was
valued at 100000 silver at $780,
100000 and gold at $4,000, 900. Copper
and zinc mines throughout the district
are coming to the front as wealth pro-
ducers very rapidly, and it is predicted
that before many years copper especial
ly will be one of the principal products.
There is no doubt as to the existence of
rich deposits of zine, but the ore is of
such a nature that more simplifed and
cheaper processes of separation must be
found before many of the zinc produc-
ing properties will be worked with
profit.
The Bunker Hill and Sullivan and
Federal Mining and Smelling company's
four mines yielded in profits, divided
among the stockholders prior to Janu-
airy 1, 1908, $15,67s,OOO. During the
last year these properties paid dividends
amounting to $1,s45,O00, and the
Bunker Hill and Sullivan paid in Janu-
airy of this year $4,000.
The figures for the Hercules mine are
only estimates, as the dividends are not
made public as in the ease of other
properties. 1t is known, however, that
the Hercules has paid to date profits
amounting to about So, 1924, 900, Of which
more than 100000 was paid last year,
and dividend of $4s,o 900 declared for
the current month on the goth.
The Snowstorm at Mullan has Welded
to date $645,O00, including a $45, 900
dividend in January, 1909. The Hecla
has paid 67 dividends in varying
amounts, including $4,000 for this
month, and total to date of 81 ,730 900.
The year of greatest production was
1907, but there is no doubt that it would
have been exceeded by last year had it
not been for the depression in financial
circles and the prevailing low price Of
lead and silver.
