LODES AND PLACERS.
Showing Necessary to Exclude Ledge
From Placer Patent.


Float. outcroppings, lodes and
abandoned locations, separately or
combined, are not sufficient to con-
stitute a known lode within the ex-
clusion of the placer mining law To
be impressed with such character
the lode must, at the time of applca-
ton for the placer patent, be clearly
ascertained and defined, and of such
extent that 1t will then, in view Of
conditions then, justify development
and exploration, and because of which
the placer claim is valuable and more
valuable than for placer mining pur-
poses. Subsequent development, hoT-
terial IL the lode be not thus known
when the application for the placer
patent Is made. And the reason Is
that lode outcrops exist everywhere in
the mining country. Not one in hun
dreds develops into profitable mine.
Valueless, no reason exists to exclude
them from public grants and patents,

HISTORIC BUILDING.
Old U. s. Assay Office in New York
Being Torn Down.

The u. S. Assay Office In Wall
street, New York, has a certain inter-
est to the mining and metallurgical
fraternity, since 1t is estimated that
about 81, 00,000,0 900 has been put in
circulation from here. The old build
ing has long been one of the land
marks of the city. 1t was erected in
1923, of gray sandstone and Is a fine
specimen of Ionic architecture.
1t was originally the home of the
United States Bank In the Andrew
Jackson regime, but when that insti-
tuition was liquidated 1t was transfer
red to the Bank of the State of New
York. In 1854 the building was sold
to the United States government and
has since been used as assay office.
According to the New York Tribune,
its front rooms were abandoned In
1910 when the walls next to the sub
treasury began to bulge, and II has
been found impracticable to use the
facade in the construction Of the new
1907 900 fireproof building to be put
up. This will have the largest vaults
in the country, costing $327000.
Commenting further on this, the
Tribune says:
Robert w. De Forest, president of
the Metropolitan Museum of Art. is to
be the new owner of the facade of the
old assay office. The gift of this his.
toric bit of architecture from the gov
eminent to Mr. De Forest was an
nounced February "a by Commander
Alfred B. Fry, chief engineer Of the
treasury department in this city
Although Mr.. De Forest could not
be seen--he Is now In the West Indies
1T Is understood that the facade will
be taken down and each stone num-
bered carefully. Then 1t is probable
that 1t will form the front Of a new
building to be erected by the museum
TO house Americana. This plan will
be carried out If sufficient funds are
obtained. II is expected that collec-
ton of colonial furniture from Mrs
Russell Sage will form the nucleus OF
the exhibit.
Bids for the removal of the assay
office will close on March 16, and
shortly after the wreckers win go to
work Within a few months the erec-
ton Of new building will be begun

ADVANCE IN SILVER
HELPS COEUR 'ALENE
WHITE METAL AN IMPORTANT
PRODUCT IN CONNECTION
WITH LEAD AND ZINC

During the year 1914 the mines of
Idaho produced over 1900, 900 ounces
of silver, valued at over $7,0O0,Oo0,
most of which came from the Coeur-
.d'Alene district and with the exception
of small shipments of silver ore, all Of
the product from this district came
lead, zinc and copper mines. With this
large output, the advance in the price
of silver means a large increase In the
profits and the operators here are
therefore greatly pleased at the pros
pect of further advance. Commenting
on the silver situation, the Butte Miner
says:

Drifting and prosecuting has been
carried on all winter with very favor

a milling character good in silver and
lead values have been exposed and
the latest report from there Is to the
effect that the lode is improving in
value and the management Is in hopes
of getting shipping ore as they attain
greater depth, but everyone has been
convinced that the Hemlock Is no
longer a prospect. but a sure enough
mine. The property is located about
one and one-half miles northwest of
Saltese, on Packer creek and on a spur
cf the Northern Pacific.
Last Chance Big Shipper.
1.-THE Last Chance has been the larg-
est shipper in this section, having
shipped about $171OO0 worth of ga
lena ore.
Work on this property has been on
new tunnel to tap the former shoot
of ore at greater depth and two
shifts have been working with a result
OF about 1900 feet of tunnel. with
about 30 feet moro to run to get under

lead, zinc and copper mines. With this
large output, the advance in the price
of silver means a large increase In the
profits and the operators here are
therefore greatly pleased at the pros
pect of further advance. Commenting
on the silver situation, the Butte Miner
says:
Causes of the Advance
The jump in the price last week
was due very largely to the depletion
of stock In London owing to the
steadily increasing demand from India
and also owing to the unusual demand
for new silver coinage from all parts
of the British dominions.
Until about two months ago the
normal spring demand for silver by
India was met by shipment from
China, where silver bullion dealers
We're sellers of the metal. This situa-
ton has now changed and China is
again buying silver and the demand
from India is steadily increasing.
Large buying orders from London
this week revealed the fact that con-
trary to general belief no considerable
Accommodations of silver are available
In New York.
The big copper companies which
produce silver rs by-product have
disposed of the larger portions of their
holdings and stocks in their hands are
down to the normal basis.
The output of the Cobalt mines is
It present below normal, owing to 9
shortage of power in the camp and an
accumulation Of six months output of
the Nlpissing mine had already been
shipped to London last January, hence
no large quantities Of silver are avail
able in Canada. Mexican production,
too is at "a very low ebb. with no
prospects of better
Production Curtaled.
As a matter of fact, the total pro-
iuetion of silver has been less than
FORMAL on account Of the curtailment
# the copper output. which is the
thief source of supply in this country.
The extreme western silver mining
districts have been storing their pro-
ducts in the San Francisco banks,
and except in rare cases holding the
utput of prices higher than so cents
an ounce, and this has also tended to
strengthen the market.
Another factor that has entered into
the situation has been the buying OF
quantities of silver bull
lion for account of large speculative
interests who foresee a very important
advance in the price of the metal at
the close of the European war, when
there must of necessity be big de-
mand from Europe to redeem the i'm
mence amount of paper money issued
in France, Belgium, Germany and
amount of coinage required by these
Countries.
1t is said by silver bullion dealers
that Russia has become a larger con-
sumner of the metal for coinage pur-
poses and it's demands for these pur-
poses win probably show a great in
crease in the very near future
The outlook for higher prices for
silver bullion continues to be exceed
ingly encouraging.

MANY SALTESE MINES
ARE BEING DEVELOPED
SECTION OF GREAT MINERAL
WEALTH MAY SOON ENTER
PRODUCTIVE STAGE.

The Muscular of last Monday con-
taius a letter from Saltese which re-
views some of the mining operations
in that section, from which it appears
that there is much activity in the way
of mining development and prospect
ing In that vicinity, and that the town
of Saltese itself Is rapidly assuming
an air of prosperity and business i'm
portance not heretofore known. Like
many districts of known merit, Sal
tese has been slow in developing its
mineral resources for reasons not
easily explained but common to most
mining camps in which large capital
Is required to engage In profitable
mining. That period now seems to
have been passed, and now largely
through the efforts of the Saltese peo
pie themselves, the district Is begin
ming to attract the attention 1t merits.
OF the present situation the writer in
the Muscular says:
Good Transportation Facilities.
"The early mining excitement dates
back to the first discoveries in the
Occur d'Alenes and about that time
the whole country was prospected and
located, but owing to transportation
facilities and the long and severe VIM
ters. there being no railroads nearer
than Wallace or Missoula, nearly all
of the old prospectors and locators
sold out their interests and left the
country.
"The transportation problem has
been solved, as we have both the Nor
thern Pacific and Milwaukee.
Tarbox Is Good.
"'rhe Tarbox, located about two and
one half miles north of Saltese, on
Packer, was one of the early locations,
passed into other hands, was incorpor-
ated and equipment installed for sink
