Lead Production of Occur d'Alenes.
Lead was quoted Wednesday in New
York at $7.65. Aside from three day
in the early part of June last year
when the nominal quotation was 81 [,
| So though fha g.
month was under &c. this is ava,
above all price records since 1876
What such a market conditions mean
to the lead producers of the Coeu
d'Alenes district is exemplified in tn
following statement and calculation
If the price of $7.65 100 pounds 70
lead were maintained on the ayerag
for one year the earnings of all tn
mines put together during the /
month period from this source alone
which means ignoring both zinc an
silver, though both are selling at muc
higher prices than usual, would be
approximately, 100000 above mol
NAL. By normal is meant a produC
tion of 10000 tons of lead, at a sell
ing price of $40, the average of NOR
than 20 years. In figuring the prof
beyond normal allowance is made bot
for smelter deductions, and the fac
that the producers of 60 per cent O
the output of the Occur d'Alenes woul
be paid only half the advance in pric
beyond $40.
Under absolutely normal condition
and price the earnings of Coeu
d'Alene producers usually distribute
as dividends in the course of a yea
amount to 100000 The high price
for silver and zinc are adding profit
in excess of $4,00O,0OO a year. Tots
net earnings of Occur d'Alene mine
as whole, with output and prices a
at present, would, therefore, approx
mate s1,500,00O a month, or SIS, 900, 90
a year. Every advance of 25 cents Ii
the price of lead implies that on tn
normal output of the district profit
are increased s1700 a day, or 100000
a year.
