New Quicksilver Mines in
United States Are One
Striking Need.

The report OF III. D. McCaskcy OF the
United States geological survey on the
quicksilver production of the country dur
ing 1911 has been received. and IT shows
that this important industry enjoyed the
most prosperous year since 1907 There
were twenty-five mines producing quick
silver in 1911, against nineteen the year
before. AS In 1910, there was no quick
silver produced in Arizona. Orcgon Utah
or Washington in 1911, Mr.. McCaskey
says. in part:
"The material decrease in domestic
stock OF quicksilver available for con-
sumption indicated in the survey report
for 1910 became marked in 1911, This
resulted In the heaviest importation and
the lghtest cXportution IN many years.

Some Injustices.

Taxes. for instance, cannot be deducted
under the law. so the mine owner pays
taxes on the amount OF money he pays
out as taxes to the state. Neither fire
nor liability Insurance is under the law
an expense to be deducted from net
proceeds for taxation purposes. so the
money the mines must pay 10 protect
their taxable improvements. thereby saw
ing an income for the state as well as
for their respective properties. and the
damages paid through injuries OF em.
ployees are not legitimate expenses OF
operation under the state law. Legal
expenses Is another item which cannot
he deducted in deriving the net proceeds
account
These complaints have been directed In
part against the state board of equaliza-
ton, and the board with Justice can
come back with the statement that they
can only deduct such expenses In deTiv-
ing the net proceeds account as the law
specifically gives them the right to do.
Tho board OF equalization, II Is stated
by one prominent operator, should be
given a wider discretionary power in the
matter OF mine taxation. especially In
the taxing OF idle or struggling proper
ties and their improvements,

which have been made on this property
have been based on cents per pound.
While scent speiter is probably n bet
ter price 10 allow than 1-cent nevcrthc-
less II is interesting To note the rapidily
with which profits increase with an ad-
vance in speter. The difference between
6 cents and cents indicates an addi-
tional profit OF SO so per ton of ore treat
ed. On the basis of 1000 tons per day,
this would mean increased profits of
$3.50, 900 per annum, or 81 per share on
the 100000 shares OF stock. The engi-
neers estimate that on l000-ton basis
and scent spelter Butte & Superior can
earn around $40 per share.
We have been advised that the first
unit Of the new mill which went into
commission recently, Is now treating 400
to 800 tons OF ore per day. while it has
been operated at the rate OF 600 tons per
day for certain shifts. This unit Is being
rapidly tuned UP and il is expected that
early in July 1t will be handling fully
600 tons daily. The rated capacity Is
500 tons per unit

Capacity of the Mill.

Work on the second section is being
rushed, and this is being rapidly put into
readiness for active operations. The
placing In commission OF this unit Of the
mill will depend. however. upon the in
stallation OF a new hoist which has been
ordered. This VIII take at least from
thirty to forty days. 1t Is believed now
that the second unit will be operating and
thoroughly adjusted by the latter part OF
September. While It Is believed that the
entire mill will treat at least 1900 tons
per day, the prediction has been made
that 1t will handle as high as 14o0 tons
per day.

Where Relief Lies

IT Is stated that there Is now a com
Ss fnr ibe n,,rpnse ,,s Of revising the code of
tho state. The mining fraternity has a.
golden opportunity for securing adequate
taxation by appearing before this com
mission and laying their complaints and
suggestions for improvements before it
for adjustment. The commission doubt
less desires TO hear from all affected In
the desire to secure adequate laws, and
10 avoid abuses that time and experience
have developed. Yet, far known,
there has not been a single representa-
tive OF the mining industry before this
commission TO get hearing. IT has been
suggested. therefore, that mining men
take advantage OF this great chance,
They should meet and formulate their
complaints and tho programme they de-
sire carried out.
