Mining Industry of Idaho.

ituhoNty VI
In reviewing the mining industry of
the state of Idaho for the year 1914,
Robert N. Bell, state mine inspector,
in his report says
The permanenec and potentiality of
ldaho's mineral resources are SPLEEN
didly exemplified by the past years
mining results, especially in our most
extensively developed and operated
district, that of the Occur d'Alenes, in
Shoshone county, whose operators
have met the conditions of excessive
ly low prices and depressed metal
market conditions, due to the Euro
pean war and have been able to con-
tinue in operation with a few excep-
tons throughout the year by concen-
trating their efforts on their better
grade ores which, through judicious
advance development on the part of
the leading operators, were available
for selection as an Offset for low prices
and have resulted in giving the state
another record-breaking yield of it's
dominant metal production in lead,
silver and zinc, amounting to a gross
mine value of all mineral shipped
from the state of 24,976, 7O6.36, and
consisting of:
345,334 ,206 pounds of lead.
49.239,000 pounds of zinc.
1921, 1923 ounces of silver.
5,17S,000 pounds Of copper.
62,23S ounces of gold.
Considerably over 90 per cent of the
output was credited to Shoshone coun-
ty mines, except in gold and copper
and their lead, silver and zinc output
showing remarkably increased yield
over the record year of 1913.
In spite of this largely increased
output of mineral, the total gross value
Of the same was only a few hundred
thousand dollars over the value of
the year 1913 output, as near as can
be figured from the uncertain market
figures quoted, due to the closing of
the metal exchanges during part of
the year.
The Morning mine, whose silver
values are relatively low, and for lack
of ore market was forced to close dur
ing the middle of the summer, throw
ing several hundred men out of EN-.
ployment. The company. however
kept on as large force as possible
and took advantage of the shut down
| to retimber its big four-compartment
shaft from the two-mile tunnel level
and to extensively improve the flota
ton equipment Of its large milling
plant.
The Hecla mine, producing one OF
the cleanest ores in the district, had
to cut off one-fifth of its production fol
market reasons, which resulted in re
ducing its profits so per cent, ano
some Of the zinc producers were run
for the benefit of the crew, as there
was hardly any margin of profit posi-
BILE on the zinc prices available
throughout the year.
