WE PRODUCE SMALL
AMOUNT PLATINUM
Seven Hundred and Twenty.
one Ounces Is Output
Record Last Year.

While the high price OF latinum in the
United States in 1912 encouraged pros
pecting for this rare metal, the produc-
ton in that year was but slightly larger
than that OF the preceding year. Accord
ing to David T, Day OF the United States
from Mineral Resources for 1872 on
the production Of platinum and allied
metals. recently published by the survey,
the output Of crude Platinum In 1912 was
721 ounces, compared with 62S ounces in
from the New Rambler copper mines, In
Albany county, Wyo., the entire domes-
tic production came from California and
Oregon. Tho greater part OF the Call
fornia platinum was obtained as q by
product in gold dredging In Butte, Yuba
sacramento and Calaveras counties.
The United States supply comes chiefly
from the manufactured and manufac-
tured platinum imported indirectly from
platinum sand were imported into the
United States in 1913. which, by the usual
estimate Of so per cent fine metal. would
yield 1924 ounces Of refined pla tinum.
In all, the refined platinum produced In
domestic reflneries from both domestic
and foreign sources amounted to approx
mately 3S.02e fine ounces valued at ST.
1872, 221, compared with 28,140 fine ounces
similarly obtained in 1s11. The total
19l2-both raw material and manufac
tured products-was S4,503.6S2, against
S4.S66,207 in 1911.

MINES HAVE MADE
DIVIDEND RECORD

In no other nine months period In the
history OF American mining and metal
lurgy have mines and works shown as
large dividend disbursements as those
In the period Just ended. And this, too,
despite the general belief that the pres
ent year has not been profitable one
as relating TO mining. When 146 COM
panies. looking to the operations OF
mines for their profits, can pay In nine
months $7S. 7T2 652, il would seem that
there has been little reason for the pessi-
same period in 1912. there is shown an In
of s1e s72, ,1O9 and with 1911 an increase
of s17se3. 232 In the 1913 period 146
companies participated, while In 1912
there were 1s8. and in 1911. 123 In total

CALUMET G HECLA
STATEMENT ISSUED
President Shaw Corrects Some
Erroneous Statements of
Company Affairs.

Quincy A. Shaw, president OF the Calu
met & Hecla Mining company, has issue
u statement in which he contradicts som
statements made by President Walker G
the mining department OF the America
of La Dor before the BosIo
Central Labor union. descriptive of wha
Mr.. Walker alleged were actual condl
tions in the Lake copper region. MI
Shaw says;
l have no desire in any way TO In
huence or attempt to influence public
opinion on the labor controversy now
existing, A full so per cent OF our
men are at work and we, have every
hope. OF being able to shortly clear
up the situation. But the misrepre-
sentntions of Mr.. Walker have re-
ceived such wide publicity In the
newspapers OF Boston and New York
that Il would be wrong TO allow them
to so uncontradicted.
When Mr.. Walker statos to a pub
lie assembly that my annual salary
as president OF the Calumet & Hecla
100000 and that the salary Of Vice
president Is $4,000, 1T must be plain
whnt impression ne is endeavortng
to create. In answer to that state
me4s nreasnt %Sua ID tss ssy Calumet haf my iaa5y a
Ia SIS, 900 q year. and that the salary
Of Mr.. AgasslZ, the first vice presf-
dent, is $4,000. He charges that the
men have been WORKING eleven hours
hours of work for the great majority,
I might say, are approximately nine,
and for some time we have been try
ing to plan operations 50 an eight
hour day would be possible
He states that new men are start
ed at a fair wage of $3.50 to 81 and
that after they have moved in their
contracts are cut to $3.50 to $2.75 a
day, This is untrue: Let me say
that the payrolls of the last full
month of the Calumet g. Hecla show
that the miners were receiving an
average wage OF s3.66 and the tram
mers net $3.50 And this net wage
means after deductions have been
made for their medical assessment,
which entities themselves and their
families to medical trea tment and
medicines, and for the aid fund, which
pays benefits in cases OF sickness and
minor injuries. Both Of these. 1
might say. are also supported In part
by contributions from the company.
In answer to his statement that
now only $50 men are employed In all
the mines. I would say that the to-
tai number Of men at work for the
Calumet company alone, exclusive OF
its smelters, is something moro than
5000. I think 1t approximately true
to say that 1900 or more men are at
work underground. These figures do
not include men at work In the Osce-
ola, Isle Royale, Superior. Quincy and
Copper Range mines.
