CORRECTION ON RAY
CON. NET RECOVERY

Attention las been called To the ac-
count given iii these columns on Tuesday
morning regarding tine six big porphyries
that the Ray Consolidated recovery of
copper 10 the ton OF ore was too much
underestimate, the recovery OF twenty
three pounds being given In the future
tense. whereas II should have been in
the present tense. The truth OF this
readily can be seen. The last quarterly
report OF the company showed a reCov-
copper ore. while the general average OF
the Ray Consolidated tonnage is 2.l7 per
cent copper,
Counting the average as only per
cent, copper however for the sake Of
hreEity. this gives ore carrying forty
pounds OF copper to the ton. and a 10
per cent recovery would mean the recov-
cry Of twenty eight pounds OF copper 10
the ton OF ore treated. Where thousands
of tons o. ore daily are handled. this
extra five pounds Is something too sub
start.oi To be overlooked.

Disastrous TO Iron.

The present tariff on iron ore is l5c
per ton. which corresponds to the
railway freight Tor about thirty
miles. 1t Is lnconceivable that the
removal Of this low tariff would have
disastrous effect upon our Iron
mining. As to the tariff on steel
products. Mr.. Carnegie has expressed
himself with clearness and emphasis
There is not the slightest probabil-
lty, that the duties on lead and
spelter will be entirely removed.
The chances are that the reductions
VIII be but moderate. Important re-
adjustments In commercial opera
tions Will. no doubt become neces-
sary, and the uncertainty about
these Will naturally create nervous
ness. but in the end we fancy that
no one will find him.
The copper producers Of the United
States exploit lower grades Of ore
than anywhere else, in places re-
mote from the markets for copper
consumption. pay the highest rates of
wages, export nearly 90 pcr cent OF
their product, command the worlds
market and do all of this without
the enjoyment of any tariff

VICTORIA CON. SEEN
BY DIRECTOR LYNCH
Announces Mine Is Showing
Best Resources in It's
EventfuI Career.

Confirmation OF tho existing extremely
fine conditions AT the Victoria Consoli-
dated property of Tintic has been brought
TO Salt Lake by James c. Lynch. direc-
tor OF this organization, who has spent
two days inspecting the mine On the
1200-Toot level the management Is open
Ing In both directions the rich ore body
found Via the new shatt, the ore being
us wide as twelve or fftecn feet in places.
and 1t is shipped as broken down, re-
ouiring no sorting whatever
Mr. Lynch said that the property has
The best showing OF it's history. and from
present Indications the present daily pro-
duction of car OF ore can be main
tanned for a year at least, with the
chances for still further extending these
resources excellent. John Shea, who
served the company SO long in the ca
pacity OF foreman. has been made super
intendeut, and Mr.. Lynch says that he
has taken hold OF his work just as lie
was expected to do. having the situation
very well In hand.
The management is expected TO hook
onto the new electrical equipment at any
time aud with the advantage OF tins

Ideal shape for successful development

Moscow Conditions.

This Red Warrior orc chaunel is the
same as that o. the Moscow property.
and the Moscow likewise has reached the
lnaI solution OF the fault problem In a
manner that soon will place it on the
regular dividend list. From the 600 level
up the Moscow has the finest ore show
ines Of its career and these three
visitors speak in the highest terms of
this mine. Some or the Moscow ore
carries extremely high silver values. and
ore widths of four TO five feet average
eighty ounces silver TO The ton in car
load lots. The company has about sew.
enty-llve men employed, a new hoist and
compressor are being Installed, and with
rliis new equipment future production
Will be materially amplined. The Mos
COW frequently makes shipments OF cop
per ore also to the local smelters.
The visitors assert that the Star dis
tTict never looked more promising, and
hey predict a splendid year throughout
1918 for several propositions there. One
property during the past few days, tne
Montreal, has made discovery of fine
ore right from grass roots and this
promises TO be heard from most substan
tally from now on.

none OF these cases. however, DO we
think that realization Will be so bad
as the forebodipgs The average
prices for spelter at ST Louis and
London during the ten years ending
with 1911 were about 6.35c and &c.
respectively; for the twenty years
ending with 1911 they We're about
4l3c. and 4.J1c., respectively. To

ing center. the freight from ST. Louis
and from Atlantic ports is about the

spelter would make no great diff
ference in the long run, IT would
however, certainly tend to equ3llzc
market conditions and prevent such
eXtravagances as have been exper
ienccd in the domestic market in
i911-12.
In lead the respective ten-year
averages have been about 456c and

differences than In the case OF
spelter, An abolition OF the tariff on
lead would unquestionably reduce the
American price, but certainly not to
The previous European level because
the latter would be raised by Amer
