LEAD-z|NC TARIFF
BEFORE THE SENATE
Western Producers Hope
That They Can Be Heard
by Proper Committee.

Utah lead and zinc ore producers are
confident that the senate VIII allow suf-
flcient time and opportunity for them
10 present such matter as they may have
in the endcaVor TO secure more favor
able metal tariff treatment than that
outlined In the Underwood bill. The re-
port came west two weeks or SO ago that
the finance committee of the senate was
unwilling to grant any industry a hear
ing for the reason that sufficient time
was given, and data presented. before
the previous congress for the committee
question.
Later. 1t was stated that a resolution
Is pending before the senate giving any
and all Industries time to make such
showings as they desire. but what dis
position OF this resolution the senate has
made if any at all, is not as yet def
inlteIy known Western ore producers
are In hopes that It viii pass and that
their representatives may be given an
opportunity Of appearing before tho COM :
mitte and asking for tariff treatment In
accord with their ideas and the require
mcnts of the situation.
II happens that the western lead and
zinc ore producers did not get together
to take action until Just recently, and
they succeeded In making such a show
| ing during the session, which was held
In Salt Lake City, that the information
there gathered has never been given TO
congress before. and congress should
certainly have the same before takins
final action on the tariff Dill One OF the
items never before emphasized or ap-
prec!ated is the Importance OF lead ores
| as the carrier for silver and gold, and
| this is considered q point that will I'M
press members or congress VINO are

metal that enters into the money Of the

it begins TO look as though the path o

BUTTE & SUPERIOR
DOING BETTER WORK
Engineer Skinner Confirms
the Favorable Recent Re-
ports on Mill Work.

Confirmation OF the exclusive infor-
nation recently contained IN these col
urons regarding the vast Improvement In
the mill operations OF the Butte & Su-
pcr!or company is had in message to
the home office by Engineer e. y. Skin
ner OF Thompson. Towlc & Co. THIS
message was wired from Butte after Mr.;
Skinner had given the mill i personal
inspection. and he made the following
statement.
The Butte G. Superior situation
shows great Improvement Recent
changes Will Increase saving TO 30
close to 700 tons OF ore daily with
one unit OF the mill in operation.
Concentrates run AZ per cent zinc.
Based on present results and 90 per
cent spelter. the company Will snow
operating profit of s2l5 per ton.
Second unit OF the mill Will be
placed In operation during the latter
part OF May. The mana cement be-
iieves mill will treat 1900 tons eco
nomically, and II Is hoped TO reduce
present costs 81 per ton. On In
creased tonnage this would indicate
earnings Of nearly 50 per share.
II is becoming appreciated that
Butte & Superior affairs have improved
steadily during the past two weeks. but
the company, like all producers OF Zinc
ore. naturally feels the big slump In the
market price of spelter. Some compa-
nies are making between SO and $40 pei

did when spelter was at It's high range

pressive communication from the secre-
tary. under date OF Nav l. and as this
communication is one that will go down

p. S.--You CAN ask questions, too.
II will be recalled by those connected
with the mining boom Of recent years lr
Nevada that the Gold Bar, largely Salt
Lake proposition, was one OF the most
striking advertisements FOR the Bullfroe

there. The mine was supposed to be-
nlled with gold ore and the company
even Installed an expensive mill. Moth
ing ever came OF the proposition except
that 1t dropped out Of sight for a time
II is evident that Secretary Watson
believes the Gold Bar worthy OF at

Location of Strike.

This new strike was made in the old
workings. at a depth OF 300 feet which
means that the point at which the ore has
been encountered Is just beneath the OLD
slopes from which the Beck Tunnel
shipped such a heavy tonnage several
years ago. Frank Birch. the assistant
manager Of The Knight mines. states that
when he visited the mine the other day
there was i s!N-foot face OF ore, in which
DRIFT had been driven for distance of
about ten feet. This ore carried all the
way from 10 TO 250 ounces in silver,
and from 80 TO 10 per cent lead. and

The party spent ten days on the Hud-

There is not hill, large or small, in
the camp that fails to show pile OF
ore stacked up on various prospects.

Story Told Showing How
Faith, Despite Adversities,
Is Often Awaiting.
HOLDS SAME SYSTEM

Willie in Nevada recently. Henry Jones
of Salt Lake managed to acquire about
sixty acres OF mineral ground. within
which is located a continuation Of big
quartz dixie, which. on the old Tip Top
property. has become liberal producer.
The Jones group is not over 500 feet
from the old Tip Top. all of which is
located In the Ouoota district In Min
eral and Esmeralda counties, Mr.. Jones
has prepared a report on the Tip Top
group. giving some interesting history.
Of which the following is a. part:
This mine was located by others
seven years ago and Il company or
ganIzed called the White Mountain
Milling & Mining company The re-
port is that between $4,000 and S40,-
600 was spent In developing the prop
erty. with a return OF only $500 from
small shipment Of ore, which came
from the upper level Any one who
has had the privilege to examine
this mine can hardly explain how the
former management ever did permit
such valuable property 70 slip out
OF their hands. 1t seems. however.
this is another freak mining story,
The present development consists OF
1000 feet in two levels. Crosscut and

ore did exist in large bodies. but of

Deal Was Closed.

Mr.. Thorndyke, we'll known In min
ing circles aud a classmate OF John
Hays Hammond. a noted engineer.
learned about this Tip Top property
early In July, 1911, and on his own
behalf decided to make an examina-
ton, so he sampled and surveyed
the workings. Returning to Bishop,
Cal, he had the samples assayed and
the result showed $40 10 s27 per ton
in values. The ratio OF metals is
ten ounces silver to one ounce gold.
This result convinced him that the
mine contained large bodies Of COM
mercia ore.
Not being contented with his first
and third times and got the same re-
turns. He was not able TO finance
the property alone. He interested
NJ. d. Mcmillan of Laws, Cal. 10. the
extent of backing him on payment
to secure a bond and lease. So Mr.,
Thorndyke went TO Goldheld New,
and interviewed the officials of the
old company and secured an option
= on the property. and, making sub
stantial payment, received lease
for total sum of SIS, 900. Later he
shipped enough ore TO take up the
lease and bond.
Engineers both before and after
Mr.. Thorndyke took possession did
not report favorably. but in face of
tenaciously placed his faith in his
own work and In the possibilities OF
such Il large and unusual body OF
quartz. In April 1912. with the help
shipped approximately 100 tons OF
ore. all OF which came from the
upper level The vertical depth from
the surface is less than forty feet.
There We're only sixty days OF actual
working time. spent In accomplish
