OLD LEAD QUESTION
HAS BEEN REVIVED
Ten Per Cent Reduction TO
Cover Smelling Loss Is
Called Excessive.

A point tina. great many producers
of lead ores arc unwilling TO conccde is
that 10 per cent ot tho lead contained in
ores is lost during the smelling process.
The shipper Of Iced ore, therefore, finds
that tho snelter cuts this 10 per cent
from his shipments, paving for 90 per cent
OF the assay value OF the ore This has
been the custom for so long n tlplc that
number Of producers arc wondering H.
during ;he past fcw decades. there have
not been improvements made In equip
ment and smelling practices whereby
much OF this excessive loss is not euml-
mated. and, lf eliminated when the pro
ducer is 10 begin reaping soma benefit
therefrom.
4 reduction also IS made In other
metals. but lead is used Us an illustra-
tion. Many producers assert that II ts

the actual losses in smelling ores, but
Chat the statistica rs 4 matter OF course
are IN possession % the smelters. They
available 10 them. and they believe fur
thermore that the 10 per cent Is eNces-
slvc. The general impression il that the
lose is not IN excess OF 3 per cent
The mines of Ctah during 1912 pro-
duced 9.00U,0o0 pounds ot lead in round
figurcs, and rho producers had To forfeit
100000 pounds as result OF this 10
per cent ruling. II. "a they allcge, the
actual smelling loss IS only per cent
they should have been paid for 10000
pounds more than they received the
value of which was over $1,000. Their
theory is that the 10 per cent basis came
about when lead smelling was prac-
tcslly in It's infancy, dating, perhaps.
from the Swansea DAYS. and that smelr-
Ing companies are reluctant TO alter a
settling basis once established.
II the producer could be convinced that
his impression is erroneous and were

statistics there uuGuestionably would he

between the producer and the smelters

PRINCE DEAL TOOK
NEW TURN THURSDAY
Knight Interests Were Af-
forded Opportunity to Par
ticipate in the Deal.

An Interesting turn was given 10 the
Prince Consolidated deal on Thursday
when II became matter of general talk
about the streets that the Jesse Knight
interests had been approached for the
purpose Of interesting them In the Prince
company. The reports had II that the
Prince ores would be decidedly welcome
TO the Knights should they stlll be de-
termlned, as anticipated, to start UP the
Tintic snelter again.
There was more truth than fiction in
these reports, and ii is known that the
Jesse Knight interests had the matter
OF participating with the Charles u.
Knox acquisition OF control several
months ago under consideration. but
nothing came OF IL. They are consid erIng
the matter yet, but IL Is definitely known
that this Is as far as the matter goes
No decision has been made one way OF
the other, The Knox interests have un-
til February 15 to make up their minds
whether or not the deal as already gem
orally well known will be consumma I cd
or turned down.
As far as known there is nothing de-
veloped Of an adverse character that
would change the plans OF the Knox in
terests. Tho market action OF the stock
for O. time was considered a reflection
OF sentiment surrounding this deal, but
il transpired later that the stock acted
moro. from manipulation than any other
cause and the slump in tho Ftock was a
stock market development and not some
thing inspired by adverse mine condi-
tions

LIMESTONE IS MAIN
OUTPUT AMONG ROCK

More limestone is produced in the
United States than any other liind OF
stone, not excepting granite. and its value
is also greater.
The value of the limestone output in
1911, according TO the United States geo
logical survey, was SS3. S97 .S62, a decrease
Of S7o6.31s from the figures for 1910. The
decrease in value was chiefly In lime
stone used for huxing. These figures do
not include the value of most OF the
stone that IS burned into lime nor Il
large quantity of limestone used in the
manufacture OF Portland cement.
The principal states that produced
limestone in 1911 We're, in rank OF value,
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois.
New York and Missouri. each having an
output OF more than S2,000,000.

The Tribune has received a communi-
cation from an Idaho engineer asking
II there has been any arrangement made
for protecting buyers OF Rochester MIN
ing ground Or stocks in Rochester mining
companies, In view Of the fact that the
ground OF the camp is located upon the
territory granted to the Central Pacific
Railroad company years ago. II, as lie
asserts. the land already Is patented to
the railroad, there may be some legal
difficulties TO overcome before title to
any OF the land can be perfected.

termination without delay for the good

IDAHO WEATHER HAS
RETARDED THE MINES
Special to The Tribune.

BURKE, Ida. Feb e.-Wardner mines
We're again forced TO close down last
week on account of additional snowfall,
which played havoc with outside work
at the. Last Chance OF the Federal group,
and at the Stewart. The shutdown was
from Sunday TO Wednesday. Efforts are
now being made to operate. hut 1t Is
with difficulty that the ore cars are
moved. All ore bins and chutes are
filled to capacity with ore and further
workings depend upon transportation to
the mills, A rotary snowplow, driven by
three engines. is attempting TO clear the
Federal high line and open hauling from
tho mine to the mill.
The blockade that had caused a con-
gestion of cars loaded with Occur d Alone
ores in the Wallace yards was remov ed
late last week. and every effort is being
made by the railroad to clear the yards
and deliver the ore TO the smelters be-
fore another period of blustery weather
brings about a repetition OF the conges-
tiop. Ore deliveries which ordinarily are
made In from four TO eight days are re-
auirlns from fifteen TO twenty five days.
This is not only hardship on the rail-
road companies and shippers. but throws
the smelter routine out OF gear by bring
ing in more ore than the capacity OF the
smelter yards permit; thus the opening OF
q blockade by the railroad relieves con-
gestion at the shipping points only to
swamp the point of delivery

Where Burden Rested.

Two years or moro ago tho Beck
Tunnel company was $4,000 In debt,
today this has been reduced TO about
$4,000, and the directors did not call upon
the shareholders Tor a single cent TO
bring this about. When the Knight
interests canvassed the situation they
were unwilling To levy assessments to
meet this Indebtedness. for Mr.. Knight
stated that TOO many stockholders had
felt their shares in case assessments
were levied The Knight interests there
fore carried this debt for the company.
During the past two months approXi-
matey 900 OF the debt has been can
celed. and this has been reduced, as
said. to about $4,000 through ore ship
ments. The property looks better at
this time than IL has at any time
throughout the past two years or more,
and IL conditions continue az they have.
the company will begin laying aside a
surplus from or soon after the directors
