IDAHO LEAD OUTPUT
GAINS ON MISSOURI
INTERESTING FIGURES REGARD
ING LEAD INDUSTRY FOR
YEAR 1918.

The bureau Of mines has just issued
ia general report on Lead in 1913
which contains much valuable infor-
nation to those interested in the min
ing industry, much of which will be
published in subsequent issues of this
paper. The statistics were compiled
from confidential reports from every
lead smelling company in the United
States The following statement, taxi
en- from the introductory to the report,
gives the totals of production for the
year, with some comparisons of state
productions;
State of Lead Industry in 1918.
| The production Of primary lead
| from domestic ores in 1913 was 436,430
short tons, valued at $38, 8,4O5,S40 based
on the average New York price, as
compared with 415,395 tons, valued at
$37 1886, $50, based on the average New
York price in 1912, gain Of 2l,OS5
tons equal to SOC per cent, in quanti-
ty and of $1,020,290, equal to 2.73 per
cent in value The production in 1911
was 4o5, 1868 TONS valued at $36,527,
$40, based on the average New York
price.
Though the lead prices were main
tanned at fairly high level for the
first 10 months Of the year, the tota
production in the United States from
from the total in 1912, which was low
er than that in 1911. This decline il
output was due to the shutting dowi
of mines and smelters in Mexico OF
account of the unsettled conditions II
that country for the production o
domestic lead was larger than ever be
fore. The lead of foreign origi
smelted or refined In the Unite
States in 1913 was less than half Q
similar lead refined in each of tn
three preceding years.
Idaho Gains on Missouri.
The largest gain in domestic smelte
production was made by Utah, wit
10 405 tons, or II per cent, and ldah
came next with an increase of 1907
! tons, though not so large in propol
tion. Colorado and California follow
! ed with gains of 1901 and 2483 ton
, respectively Missouri's output suffer
ed the greatest loss, 10,1S0 tons, or

> state retained first place in produ'
tion, being credited by the smelte
with 35 per cent of the total lead pr

CLEARWATER COPPER
NEEDS A RAILROAD
MAY CONVEY ORE OVER DIVIDE
BY TRAMWAY-MUCH ORE
IN SIGHT.

Sam Seidenfeld, former resident
of this city, now of Spokane, was IN
Wallace yesterday, he having exten-
sive property interests here. Asked
regarding the Clearwater Gold & Cop
per Mining company of which he Is
the principal stockholder, he said that
nothing was doing OH the properly at
this time, and the unsettled condition
of the copper market made 1t impossi-
Bile to make any predictions as to the
future Just before the breaking out
of the European war Mr.. Seidenfeld
said that plans had practically been
completed for the construction OF
| tramway from the Clearwater prop
erty which Is In this county, across
the divide to the Amador mine, dis
tance of about 13 miles There 1t was
proposed to erect q plant of some type
to be decided upon for the treatment
of the ore, the branch railroad to the
Amador mine affording transportation.
This plan fell through on account Of
the war practically destroying the
market for copper and nothing defifi-
ite in the way of plans are now being
considered.
Much Ore in sight.
Mr. Seidenfeld says the lower tun-
mel on the Clearwater mine has been
run 1900 feet. and 1900 feet of that
distance is In ore that will average Ii
feet IN width and run 5h per cent cop
per and from $3.50 to 50 In gold. At
places the ore shoot Is 35 feet wide.
The face of this tunnel has depth OF
about 300 feet and by extending It q
few hundred feet 1t Is possible to at
] tain depth of 1000 feet. shaft has
r been sunk from this level to depth
Of 11O feet, but no drifting has been
, done on account of lack of facilities
S for handling the water. Mr.. Seiden
r field says q conservative estimate OF
the amount of ore In sight would bt
e 400 900 tons.
He is confident that the Northern
q Pacific will eventually build a cutofl
q between Missoula and Lewiston
] through the Clearwater country, which
= will give an outlet for the ore. Blu

CALEDONIA DIRECTORS
AUTHORIZE DIVIDENDS
MONEY ON HAND TO PAY. THREE
OF 2 CENTS PER SHARE
ORE HIGH IN SILVER.

meeting of the directors Of the
Caledonia Mining company was held
in this city last week when a resolu-
tion was adopted authorizing the pay
ment of a dividend of cents per
share on the first of December jan
uary and February. This means a
disbursement Of $52 100 for each of
those months, the outstanding stock of
the company being 2,605,000 shares.
This also means that at the time the
resolution was passed there was ac-
tual cash on hand with tie ore in
transit to cover the total of these three
dividends, amounting to 1885, 800.
A Nice Christmas Greeting.
/ The action of the directors is a
highly gratifying Christmas greeting
to the fortunate stockholders in Gale
donia. The mine is in excellent con-
dition for economical mining, large
bodies of ore being blocked out Whict
enables the management to maintain
the maximum production with sur
prisingly small number of men.
The high silver value in Caledonif
ore is an important factor even at tn
present low price of silver. The Ions
predicted advance in the price of tn
white metal is still looked forward t
hopefully by Caledonia stockholders.
