MORE THAN A GAMBLE.
An Erroneous View Taken by the
Conservative East.
Denver Mining Record)


Whether the high priests of bank
ing in New York City favor gambling
or not, their institutions make huge
profits on money loaned out to foster
speculation on the stock exchange.
And these same financiers not infre-
Iquently shrug their shoulders when
mining is mentioned and refer to 1t
with self -conscious righteousness as
gambling"
II mining were as uncertain and
hazardous as the purchase of high
priced Industrial securities on margin,
lit never would have reached its pres
ent magnificent proportions. The min
ing industry, which ranks second to
agriculture, is something more than a
gamble.
A .pessimist once said that while the
price of a given stock can move only
two ways, either up or down, the av-
erage investor will make a wrong
guess nine times out of ten. Anyone
who has made a study of the stock
market will be prone to concede the
truth of the saying. Manipulation,
sudden war scares, the lowering or
passing Of certain dividends, legisla-
tive enactments, sentimental influ-
ences and other factors have their ef-
feet in upsetting the most logical cal
culations and play havoc with quota
tons Even old-time traders often
are no better price prophets than the
most credulous lambs.
Let the New Yorker gamble In
stocks, IL he chooses. But the west
|erner prefers to invest in the tangible,
conservative industry Of mining-an
industry that offers splendid returns
under right conditions of manage
ment.

COPPER AND SPELTER
EXPECT BIG DEMAND
IN SPITE OF JULY DULLNEss, BIG
INTERESTS LOOK FOR LARGE
ORDERS VERY SOON.
(New York Sun, August y

The a cent a pound cut in the price
of lead by the American Smelling and
Refining company, from 5A to 5h
cents a pound was about the only in
cident in an otherwise dull and unsat-
isfactory metal market during the
past week.
The passing of the month of July
was without marked feature in cop
per, spelter or lead. Sales were of the
most ordinary tonnages and the ex-
pected buying movements, particu-
larry in copper, failed of materializa-
ton.
From a copper buying point of view
July was a disappointment, which
every one of the large producers ad-
mitted. In contrast with June's rec
ord business, the month just ended
was extremely dull, although there
were some sales by large producers,
ranging from 20 down to 10 cents.
There were also sales down to Sh
cents by some of the smaller mining
interests.
Despite the fact that the volume of
new business booked was decidedly
small, there was very large inquiry
from many quarters, none of which
however, developed into actual orders
A thorough canvass was made for the
purpose Of learning conditions among
producers This sums up the situa-
ton: "There have been large inquir-
les for the metal, but no orders Of &C
count. This may be explained by the
large brass manufacturers having used
some Of the copper bought a month or
two ago on new orders, leaving re-
quirements for their new bookings OF
finished material until prices lowered
There is no doubt that all consumers
have been looking for copper to go to
at least IS cents a. pound"
Producers Unanimous.
The Anaconda, American Smelling
and Refining and Phelps-Dodge inter-
ests were included in the canvass as
well as some Of the smaller producers
and their views were unanimous.
One of the most encouraging feat.

MINERAL PRODUCTION OF IDAHO IN 1914

The value of the mine output OF
gold. silver. copper. lead and zinc in
Idaho in 1914, according to C. N. Ger
~ of the United States geological sur
vey, was $24,645.S4S. against $24,149,-
049 in 1913 and $21,466,521, in 1912.
There was a notable increase and a
record production of silver, lead and
zine, but decrease in that of gold
and copper. The increase in total
value was $496,799, due principally to
a larger output of mines in the Occur
dAlene region of Shoshone county, as
shown in the accompanying table.
Gold.
The production of gold decreased
from $1,S44,559 in 1913 to $1,152,S16 in
1914, or $192,244. The gold output
from placers was valued at $500, 454 !;
that from deep mines at $451,S61. OF
the placer gold, $56S,9S9 was produced
by dredging. Boise county led in gold
output with 1.227, and Lemhi eoun-
ty followed with $3O5,991. These are
the counties in which most of the
dredging is done. The gold output
from mill bullion by amalgamation
and cyanidation was 12,2S4.03 ounces,
from concentrates 3,16S,4S ounces, and
from crude ore smelted 6,4062S ounces.
Siliceous ores supplied 17,5S2.59
ounces of gold, copper ores 1,O7656
ounces, lead ores 2,46711 ounces, and
lead-zinc ores 725.7S ounces.
Silver.

London, where there were big stocks.
In fact, the London quotation Of $50
was equivalent to but 40h cents here.
While spelter prices were soaring
to their unprecedented levels, the
London market trailed far behind, as
the English buyers refused to come
into this market at the current figures
then. 1t was domestic buying that adj
vanced the market. Later the English
shortage became more acute and the
demand more insistent which resulted
in a sensational rise in London spell

ures that has developed during the
past week or two (next to the secur-
ing of actual orders) has been the very
large tonnages for which inquiries
have been made.
One of the largest amounts inquir-
ed for was 10000 tons of copper to be
delivered during the next six mnoths.
One producer said that he had indi-
rectly received an inquiry for great
err amount, while another producer
told of an inquiry that had come to
his attention calling for 1000 tons a
month for the next two years, or a
total of $4,000 tons.
owing to the war orders placed in
this country producers are confident
that a buying movement of gigantic
proportions must soon take place.
They believe that copper will again
be on firm 20 cent basis rather than
in its present struggling condition.
Sharing in this belief are producers
who handle between 80 or 80 per cent
Of the country's entire output.
Readjustment of Prices.
With the sagging copper and spell
ter prices manufacturers of sheet cop
per and sheet zinc have started to re-
adjust their quotations to conform to
the new conditions.
A 8 cent cut has been ordered in
sheet zinc to a new basis of "a cents a
pound Sheet copper has been drop
ped " cent a pound from It's recent
high of rs cents to 24h cents and cop
per rolls have been lowered like
amount to 1914 cents.
Consumers have shown no signs yet
of reentering the market for either
spelter or copper. With big de-
mand for brass for munition purposes
1t is thought that buying Of these two
metals should be simultaneous.
Manufacturers are frightened and
until this condition has passed they
will not come into the market for
