The report OF the Chino company for

OAR year has been released IN the east
the salient fea lures of which were sent
across the wires yesterday morning. Dur
ing the period the company had the two
initial mill sections In commission, while
the third section was completed and
placed in readiness for operation whenever
needed. The two sections operating
handled as high as 1000 tons a day each
without difficulty, results demonstrating
that when the entire flve mill sections are
in commission the daily tonnage will he
In excess OF 1000 tons each.
A total OF 10000 tons OF ore was treat
ed at the mill, the production OF copper
measuring 2:27l.aSo pounds. The average
smelter costs and all, was 7.6S cents per
pound: Without taking into considera-
ton the miscellaneous revenues. the net
prorits for the period were sl96,s71 based
upon the company having received 1885
cents per pound for It's copper,
An average recovery Of 20.i pounds Of
copper to the ton OF ore handled was
satisfactory, although lower than will ul-

TRAIL SHELTER IS
TO BE IMPROVED
Special to The Tribune.

SpeCldl TO Inc tribune.
SPOKANE, Wash, May 23.-Offlcal
announcement is made in Spokane that
the Consolidated Mining e Smelling COM
pany will expend fully 800. 900 in i'm
provements on its smelter at Trail, B. C,
The beiterments include a matte plant
and a lead mill and the installation OF an
electric trolley system, thus increasing
the capacity of the works 25 per cent
The company has ascertained that the
cost OF treating copper ore has been great
ly reduced by running the raw matte
through the furnace instead of first
roasting It in furnaces and pots The new
process. which has been I'm operation
seven weeks, is known as the pyritic sys-
tenn, using 3 per cent coke and per cent
silicious ore.
The improvement In the lead refinery
consists of the construction Of a building
and the addition OF eighty-four refinery
tanks, giving the plant total Of 32i
tanks and increasing the capacity OF the
plant twenty-five to one hundred tons A
day.
The electric tramway system will con-
meet the five levels at the smelter and
the cars will convey the anodes from the
smelter direct 10 the refinery.

OUTPUT Of MINERAL
BY MICHIGAN MINES
Geological Survey Reviews
the Past Year From Copper
Silver Standpoint.

In 1911 according to B. S. Butler OF
the United States Geological survey, the
mines of Michigan produced 1880. 102
pounds OF copper, valued at $27.aS0,01S,
and 497,2S1 fine ounces OF silver. valued
at S263. .550. a total value for both metals
Of ST. 7.743.5 sag. This is a decrease In value
OF S715, ,69S, or about 20 per cent, from the
1910 production. due TO a slightly smaller
output of copper and little lower aver
age price for the metal. Owing TO this
slight decrease in the price of copper there
was a decline from S2.5a in 1910 to 81. 90
in 1911 In the average value per ton Of
rock treated. The recovery of refined
copper per ton Of rock milled in 1911 was
twenty pounds. compared with twenty and
one-half pounds in 1910.
The quantity OF silver recovered was
1921 fine ounces. an increase Of ,7S1
ounces over that OF 1910. OF the silver
5l3 ounces were obtained as picloiugs and
496,76S ounces were derived from the
electrolytic treatment OF 43, To5.777 pounds
OF copper.
The mines Of Houghton county pro-
duced $50 per cent OF the copper and 924
per cent OF the silver output In 1911.
