MAY DAY ZINC ORE
IS PROMISING ITEM
E. c. Coffin Believes Com
pany Will Reap Good Re-
ward From Shipments.

That the May Day company will be
one OF the big beneficiaries In Utah OF
the present splendid position of spelter,
and that the property is bounteously pro-
Vided with zinc ores, was the statement
made on Saturday by e c. Coffin, su-
perintcndent OF the Lower Mammoth
May Day property frequently during the
pest few weeks. Mr.. Coffin states that
heretofore the May Day management has
been unable to develop this zinc ore tom
mage for the market. although through
out the years OF May Day lead ore pro-
duction there was always more or less
zinc ore found and thrown 10 one side.
The zinc ore makes In IL bed beneath
the old lead ore bodies. and the fact tina /
the zinc was found practically underlying
the lead everywhere in the property Is
one factor that gives the manage ment
reason to believe a considerable tonnage
Of this new ore will be found. At one
point. for instance, the management has
driven for over twenty-five feet In mar
keteble zinc ore. and there are sixteen
men working In zinc ore at various
points, while several sets OF leasers like
wise are developing the zinc resources,
and at all points the ore has opened
splendidly. the showing at ali faces being
better than when the work first started
in earnest.
Heretofore. states Mr.. Coffin. the man
agement has avoided opening the zinc.
for it's presence in the lead ores provided
the foundation for penalties at the snelt-
ers. which, In some cases, were very
high. Some of the May Day lead ship
ments have carried as high as 25 per
cent zinc. and for the excess a stiff
penalty was exacted. The ore is ex-
trcmely good grade. running from IS to
47 per cent from pile samples. and It is
q carbonate which makes II all the more
welcome at the middle west smelters
Another interesting phase Of the May
Day work Is the new body of silver and
Coffin states that II is ore OF good ship
ping quality and It's size can be gathered
from the fact that the company has
started breaking IL down with power
drills. II rs not often that the company
can break ore with the drill. as the cx-
tent OF the body Is not always sufficient
TO justify such action.

The report states that at the Tooele
plant operations were carried on con-
tinuously, but not to fun capacity owing
TO the restricted output of the mines.
toward the end OF the year conditions
were materially bettered and the plant
treated larger tonnage of copper bear
ing. material than previously. The out
look for 1912 for copper ores Is better
as the mines under old contracts have
increased their shipments. and in addj-
tion new sources OF supply have been
secured. AT the Raritan Copper works,
from which the International Smelling
company derives It's greatest profit. work
was carried on at as great q capacity as
possible, During the year additions were
made to the plant. and these are now
nearing completion. With these. the ca

was probably the lowest In history,
