valued at $12,7S8, 355 in 1912 This in
great extent from Shoshone county.
There was falling off in Lemhi coun-
ty, but a considerable production came
from what is now Fremont county
since the changing of the boundary of
Blaine county. The two important
sources of lead are lead ore and lead
zinc ore The former supplied 8421
per cent of the total, and the latter
1878 per cent. The average per ton
Of ore mined improved somewhat. The
recoverable lead in lead ore averaged
S37 per cent and in lead-zinc ore 3.S8
per cent. Crude ore shipped directly
to smelters supplied S0,919,791 pounds,
or 35.46 per cent Of the total lead out
put Nearly all of this was lead ore,
which averaged 1881 per cent lead and
had a value per ton of $5015 for all
metals. over So per cent of this lead
in crude ore shipped came from sui
phide ore Concentrates contained
236, 952 154 pounds of lead, or 74.54 per
cent of the total yield. The lead con-
centrates averaged 5O.75 per cent lead
and had value of $6212 per ton for
all metals.

The production of zinc ESTIMATED

pounds, valued at $959,479 in 1912, to
23,173,953 pounds, valued at $,2S774l,
in 1913. This output far surpasses all
previous records and shows an in
crease of 9,26S,45 pounds in quantity
and of $33S,262 in value, largely from
Shoshone county. OF the total spelter,
1915 per cent came from lead-zinc
ore and 9.g1 per cent from zinc ore.
From crude ore shipped 2,25S,756
pounds of spelter was produced, or
9.75 per cent of the total. This pro-
duct came almost all from the Beaver
Summit and Lelande districts of Sho-
shone county, averaged 1888 per cent

zinc concentrates 20,915,197 pounds oi

came principally from lead-zinc ore

Center districts and averaged S4.5'
