H. c. Bolstnger. manager of the

ed and repaired the Hubert to a
depth of 1850 feet. Workmen are
now engaged in stopping on the 1850
drift west, on fine streak of fair
ly good ore, also drifting, sinking
winzes, etc. on the 1150, west. At
the breast Of the 1850, east, there
is a body of ore from 3H to feet
wide, of fair grade. A raise is now
being made at this point to connect
with the $50, which work will open
up large bodies Of ore known to
exist in this ground. Lessees are
working the fifth, sixth and seventh
levels with good results. There is
about 500 feet Of unexplored ground
between the Newhouse tunnel level
and the bottom of the main shaft
which ds now being explored. There
is no reason why the main ore shoot
that has been continued from the sur
face to the 1850 foot level, and which
has produced over two millions OF
dollars, should not continue through
this ground. II such should be the
case, the Hubert mine will soon be-
come one of the great producers OF
the county.

The smelter trust reports net
income of over five million dollars fol
the first six months of this year.
This is a quarter OF a million, dollars
less than the same period of 1912,
and is partly accounted for by a de-
crease in smelling charges The as
sets of the company are valued at
one hundred and ninety million dol
lars with surplus of over seventeen
million dollars in undivided profits.
Those who are in position to know,
state that the smelling and refining
plants Of the trust can be duplicat-
ed at an expenditure of from fifteen
to twenty million dollars. With the
earnings in excess of a million dol
lars per month, it does seem as II
the charges for smelling could still
be reduced, very materially, without
sending the Guggepheim dynasty to
the poor house.
