to the press. One of the features
of the year in Montana was the
teaching of low grade copper pres
at Butte. At the Bullwhaker oper-
ators we're experimenting and build
ing a teaching plant. At the Butte
and Duluth property the ore was
quarried, crushed, treated by sui
phuric acid, and the metal electro
lytically precipitated. L~eaching is
also being tried at the Royal Basin
mine at Maxville in Granite county.
In Jefferson county the Boston and
Corbin company had a new cotton
concentration plant in operation. The
value of the copper yield in 1913 was
over ~ per cent of the total value
of all metals produced in Montana.
The lead output increased from
7,446,7 TAO pounds in 1912, according
to mine figures, to S,547,OO0 pounds
in 1913, or nearly Is per cent. This
increase was largely due to ship
ments of lead concentrates and resi-
dues from zinc concentrates from
the Butte & Superior mine at Butte.
There was much activity south Of
Libby in Lincoln county, but princi-
pally in development work. At the
King & Queen property in Sanders
county, galena was shipped and a
75-ton concentration plant was being
constructed.
A record production Of recoverable
spelter was made from zinc concen-
trates shipped from Montana mines
in 1918. From 26,91S,SS1 pounds
of spelter in 1912, the output in
creased to S5,449,297 pounds in
1913, or 217 per cent. This was
largely due to results at the Butte
d Superior mine. The first half of
the year the plant was treating 500
IONS per day, but the tonnage treated
was increased to 1000 tons per day
the latter part of the year. In August
the mill treated 3O,440 tons of ore,
which made 1880 IONS of concen-
trates having al average zinc con-
tent of 49.41 per cent, representing
a recovery of 900 per cent by con-
centration and oil flotation. Other
zinc shipments were made from the
Iron Mountain mine in Missoula
county and also from Jefferson coun-
ty. At the Elm Orlu mine no zinc
ore was treated Dr. shipped, copper
ore only being sold. There is, how
ever, a large tonnage of zinc ore de-
veloped awaiting treatment by the
new mill being quilt south of Butte.
Concentration and flotation will prob
ably be used. At the present rate
of increase Montana will be a rival
of Colorado and New Jersey, if not
Missouri, In zinc production.
One of the interesting features
which affected or will affect mining
in Montana was the electrificvation
of the Butte, Anaconda and Pacific
during the year, and the use of cleo
tricity instead of steam in the mines
was found to greatly reduce costs.
A survey for railroad was made be.
tween Great Falls and Missoula by
the Chicago, Milwaukee & Puget
Sound company and the Butte, Wis
dom & Pacific railway will build 100
miles of road to connect French
Gulch and Elkhorn.

PRODUCTION Of METAL IN IDAHO
Shows INCREASE IN YEAR 1913

In 1913 the metal mine OUTPUT of
idaho vas SO much increased that
he total value exceeded that of the
record year, 1906, according to pre-
liminary estimates of c.. N. Gerry,
of the United States Geological Sur
vey. The value of the gold, silver,
copper, lead and zinc mine pro-
ductiOn was over $2S,500,00O,
an increase of over 1000, 900,
or nearly 10 per cent. Record
productions were made in silver.
lead and zinc; and substantial in
creases were made in output of all
metals but gold, which remained
close to the yield of 1912, the figures
for 1913 being $~1,373,OOO. The gold
yield from quartz mines, especially
the De Lamar mine, which was closed
in the last part of the year, continued
to decrease. To compensate for this
loss, the gold output from dredging
continued to increase and that from
copper ore was greater since the
Lost Packer smelter was operated.
The mine yield of silver output
increased 20 per cent, from 1894
745 ounces in 1912 to about $780,
600 ounces in 1913, a large increase
ever over the previous record out
put of 1906. In silver output the
state, which in 1913 had a value of
nearly 5000 900, was only exceeded
by Nevada, Utah and Montana. Near
ly all this silver was derived from
lead ore and concentrate, shipments
of which wese unusually large. An
other feature which accounted for
this record output was the large pro-
duction from the Greenhill-Cleveland
mine a Mace and the Hercules
mine at Burke, for the mines of Le-
lande district are notable for high
silver content.
The copper output from Idaho
mines increased from ~7,492,152
pounds in 1912 to about 9,312,OOO
pounds in 1913, an increase of over
"a per cent. The three main factors
in the copper output were the ship
ments OF crude ore and concentrate
from the Snow Storm mine at Lar
son, the yield of copper ores from the
Empire Copper property at Mackay,
and the copper matte produced at
the Lost Packer plant at Ivers. In
creased yield was made from all these
properties and dividends were paid
by the first and last. Copper was
also recovered from the lead ores of
Lemhi and Shoshone counties. Other
copper properties are being opened in
1.-The Hunter district of Shoshone coun-
y. A deposit of interest was that de-
veloped by the National Mining COM
pany which began the erection Of a
large mill in which the ~1otation pro-
cess will probably be used.
The lead mine production in
creased from 2S4,OOO,OO0 pounds in
1912 to nearly 81, 900, 900 pounds
in 1918, or over 8 per cent. At the
average price for 1913, this total
was valued at more than $13,50O,-
900. Probably SO per cent of the
lead came from the Occur d. Alene
region of Shoshone county, and the
remainder from Lemhi, Fremont,
Blaine, and Custer counties. Ship
ments from the Greenhill-Cleveland
mine more than made up for the

of mines in Gold Hill this week,
gives the important information that
the Yellow jacket, Crown Point and
Belcher companies have started the
new Byron-Jackson sinker pump
equipment in regular operation at
the joint incline, and yesterday the
water was lowered % feet below the
1400-foot level in the incline. The
water is being held at this point
while repairs are being made. One
pump only is being operated at one
time, and the progress made this
week has been very satisfactory. The
advance of pumping operations at
this point will be watched with a
very keen interest, and that the
lower levels in Gold Hill may be sue
cessfully and speedily unwatered, is
the wish of all. On the 14O0-fo,t
level of the Crown Point, repairs
we're made and timbers eased in
north drift No. 2. On the same level,
stope No. 2 is being bulkheaded and
filled. Either of the new sinker
pumps lower the water at a rate of
two feet per minute, under a pres
sure equaling a 25O-foot head.

pumping operations at the joint in
cline are having a general effect on
the deep levels, for with the lower

cline has been lowered also. This is
true of the Yellow Jacket incline,
and indicates plainly that the old
drifts and workings below the 400
are open through to the various
shafts and inclines, so that the new
drainage as it proceeds will be COM
plete. That the water is being low
cred in all of the mines is a most en-
couraging feature. On the 1300-foot
level of the Belcher, east crosscut
No. 1 was reopened and timbered 81
feet to the 6O-foot point, and be-
tween the 1900 and 1400-foot levels,
repairs are being made to the track
in the south compartment of the
joint winze. Shipments for the week
included the last of the concentrates
from Run No. 1, which we're sent to
Selby & Co.
The Yellow Jacket mill was shut
down this week on account of stormy
weather, and only 172 tons of dump
rock were placed in the mill bins.
One railroad car of concentrates was
shipped to the smelter. At the sur
face, 235 tons of ore we're sent to

valve OF MONTANA'S MINERALS
FOR 1918 REACHES $59,0OO,OOO

The total value of gold, silver,
copper, lead and zinc produced by
deep and placer mines in Montana
in 1913 vas somewhat over$59,000,-
900, a decrease from s~64,754,615 in
1912, over s per cent, according to
preliminary estimates of V.C.Heikes,
of the United States Geological Sur
vey. Metal prices were slightly less
than those of 1912, but there was
also a large decrease in copper yield
and consequently in gold. These
were in part Offset by a record i'm
zinc production and silver output
from zinc ores.
The gold Weld decreased nearly IL
per cent, the mine figures being 3d.
625,235 in 1912 and $3,194,000 in
1913. There was no great change
in the placer output, but a decrease
is noted in gold from copper ores
and from siliceous ores. The North
Moccasin mine in Fergus county was
successfully operated by the Barnes
King Development company and an
average of 1000 tons of SO ore was
treated per month. The Ruby Gulch
mine in Blaine county was productive
until August Z, when the cyanide
plant burned. N Deer Lodge county
the Southern Cross mine, owned by
the Anaconda Copper company, was
producing the latter part of the year.
An increase of nearly 4 per cent
wac nada in tho cilyor oufput of tho
state, the mine figures being 12,731.-
63S ounces in 1912 and 1929, 900
ounces in 1913. A decrease of about
10 per cent in silver output from
Butte copper ores was largely bal
anced by an unusual increase in sill
residues from the Butte & Superior
mine, which made a notable record
the last half of the yea Over 13
per cent of the total value of the
state output was hat of silver. The
new concentration and cyanide plant
idle after a few months operation
and results did not affect the gold
and silver output.
The copper output declined about
8 per cent, from 3O9,73S,S73 pounds,
according to mine reports, in 1912
to s 0,65S,000 pounds in 1913. This
last was about 80 per cent less than
the output of Arizona, the leading
copper producer in 1913. The aver
age price of copper decreased from
1875 cents in 1912 to about 1887
cents in 1918, and it is presumed
that no efforts toward a record out
put were made by the larger smelling
establishments. According to month
ly printed statements, the Anaconda
Copper company vas making an av-
erage of 22,000,000 pounds per
month and the East Butte Copper
company about 1,125,00O pounds per
month. The February produmtion
of Butte was low on account of cold
weather and fires in the West Colusa
mine, which interrupted work in the
Mountain View mine. The October
yield was notably low since the fires
were drawn at the Anaconda smelter
to clean the fues. The East Butte
company is fast getting out of debt
by making 100000 per month, and
plans to enlarge the plant, according
