LEAD TARIFF WILL
HARDLY Be REDUCED
Col. Hackett Believes That
the Interests of West Will
Be Protected.

One OF the most encouraging hopes Of
the lead producing industry Is the belief
that President Taft will veto any rcduc-
tion in the lead tariff until the tariff
commission shows absolutely that the ex-
istins schedule is too high. and that
President Tart Will exercise his veto
power without question is the firm con
victlon of Col. James l.. HaclSett, presi-
dent Of the Prince Consolidated company.

This veto power, insisted the colohel.

grounds but there can he no question
that any president or party would fare
mighty poorly at tho hands OF the lead
producing states like Wisconsin, Mis-
sourl. Utah, Colorado Idaho and Ne
vada should either succeed In making Il
drastic reduction In tariff on nothing but
political grounds.
Mining, says Colonel Hackett. is bound
to pick UP from now on, although he does
not expect anything like n complete re-
turn to prosperous business conditions
until after the presidential election. Tho
producer OF metals certainly has reason
to rejoice at ths present silver and cop
per market. and the recent advance In
silver has meant materially increased
profits TO the Prince Consolidated. Col
onel HacSetj was pleased TO report that
everything with this company is progress

NIPISSING OUTPUT
DURING THE MONTH

January production of the Nipissing
Mines company amounted TO io6. S26
ounces OF silver valued at S22i.903. which
compares with 407, III ounces for Decem-
Der. i03. i0S for November and 43t.9S6 for
October. During the month shipments
were small and amounted to ore valued
duo TO the fact that the high grade plant
was shut down for the annual cleanup.
This has now been completed, and IT Is
expected that the February output Will
be large.
The most important developments for
the month were those al veins e, 122,
100 and so. and were briefly rs follows:
Az vein f3 development work on the
25o-foot level continues satisfactory; the
ore shoot now having a length OF $50
feet with the face OF the drift showing
inches of ore assayiug $500 ounces
4 raise on this vein was started In De-
cember and encountered good ore at a
height OF so feet above the third level.
The vein has width of to inches
and at present is assaying 1000 ounces
per ton West OF the shaft some stopping
was done, the vein here averaging S
Inches IN width and carrying 5000 ounces
per ton.
During the month the intermediate
level at vein l22 encountered new ore in
the bottom Of The drift. Where opened It
showed a width OF inches and was
nigh in silver carrying 1000 ounces per
ton. The face of the drift shows from
TO 8 Inches of calcite and cobalt low
IN silver. 1t is the intention TO develop
the new ore from raise from the sec
ond level below. AT vein 100 the work
consisted of stopping and crosscuttine
In raise completed between the FIRST
and second levels the vein assays 400
ounces, inches In width
AT vein so the raise which has been
driven connecting the hrst and second
levels is now being completed. The dis

Is being driven from this shaft TO the
southern boundary Of the property II,
has now developed a distance of 5?5
feet. In this distance a few calcite
veins were encountered and the most
promising one is now being driven on.
Nipissing will profit by the small ship
ments made In January and by the large
silver shipments forthcoming In Feb
ruary, due to the higher price of sill
ver prevailing for the latter month The
metal is quoted now at 60Sc per ounce
the recent rise having been very rapid
the market having advanced since the

ANOTHER SIDE TO
CUT IN LEAD PRICE

The reduction by the American Smelt-
ponnd In It's price for lead within less
than fortnight has excited more than
the usual gossip. One hypothesis is that
It is q warning to congress 10 refrain
from reducing the tariff on lead and lead
ore. If the price for lead be low the
producers OF lead ore receive less. howl
and write To their representatives In con-
cress who may thereby be influenced
The recent drastic reduction is to be an
object lesson. @. i. u. However. this
is something like cutting of the nose to
spite the face. 4 more rational hypothe-
sis is that the smelling company wanted
10 sell lead and, having found the de-
mand sluggish at the previous price,
made series of cuts In order TO stlnu
late consumption and make Its supplies
move.-Engiueerin and Mining Journal
