all grades was determined at 1874
cents a pound, as compared with 142
cents a pound, the average quoted
price for prime western spelter for
immediate delivery. 1t is thus shown,
as was in fact intimated in the trade
journals, that the output of the smell
tiers was generally sold up for two,
three, or more months In advance. 1t
is, also shown that the real value, in
stead of being 10 to rs per cent above
the value calculated from the average
price quoted. as stated in the New
Year estimate. was in fact about IS
per cent below that value.

BUTTE'S BIG ZINC NINE
A WONDERFUL RECORD
TREMENDOUS PROFITS, FAeu.
LoUs PRODUCTION SHOWN
BY ANNUAL REPORT.

The total gross value of zinc and
lead concentrates as sold to the smell
ters by the Butte & Superior company
during the year ending Dec 81, 1916
was $1S,244,133, according to the COM
pany's annual report now out, and the
net income for the year reached the
sum of $9,125,947, as compared with
S,417127 the year preceding. This
profit, the report states, is equivalent
to $33.47 per share.
The Report
President McKelvie says:
THE earnings for the four periods
first quarter $1,163,156; second quar-
ter, $2,107,153; third quarter, 2,761,-
S39, and fourth quarter, $3,093,79S, in
dictate the market demand for speter
and increase in the price. The pro-
duction for the last quarter was the
largest in the history of the company.
Every effort was made to produce as
large an output as possible so as to
take full advantage of the existing
demand and high prices. On a return
to normal conditions your company
will be in a position to maintain this
large production If desired.
Advance sales for 1916 have been
made at very attractive prices that
insure handsome earnings for the first
half of 1915.
During the year dividends to the
amount of $3,90S115 We're paid, made
up of four regular quarterly diy-
dends of rs cents each, and three ex-

AN ATTRACTIVE SERVICE.
No Trouble to Get Recruits for the
United States Marines.

Recruiting for the United States
marines is a simple proposition ap-
parently. For nearly three years the
marine corps has been kept to over
flowing with the most desirable men,
and at times a waiting list has had
to be maintained.
The attractiveness of the life in the
marine corps, which includes service
on land and sea and in foreign coun-
tries, has made the recruiting officers
task an easy one.
The authorized strength of the
United States marine corps is 1921

of being one Of the large producers
of spelter In the country.
Due to the fact that the company
Is engaged in mining zinc ore and the
product Is almost entirely spelter, the
word copper In the name of the COM
pany is misleading and the directors
have recommended the change of the
name of the company to Butte 4 Su-

submitted to the stockholders at the
annual meeting"
Mr.. Jaeklins's Report.
The total gross value of zinc and
lead concentrates as sold to smelters
was $13,244,133. The average total
cost of actual mining and milling for
the year was $5.11 per ton. This fig
ure includes all general charges and
mine development costs as we'll as
the cost of maintenance and all minor
improvements in both mine and mill.
Operating costs were lower than in
1914, notwithstanding the fact that
abor costs were higher and the fur
-her fact that additional expense was
involved in crowding production be-
'ond the point of efficiency as to ca
Dacity of mining and hosting faclli-
les.
New Shafts.
The new shafts" adds Mr.. Jack |
ing, will consist of a two-compart-
nent main hosting shaft with man
a nj, 4
upply shaft, with extra compartment
or air and water lines and signal ap-
aratus. The main shaft will be pro-
ided with direct connected electric
DIST suitable for operation to a depth
$500 feet and convertible without
lateral delay or great expense to a
apacity for operations to a depth of
900 feet. The manway shaft will
lso be provided with an electric hoist
esigned for operations to depth of
900 feet These two shafts are To-
ated in solid ground so feet apart,
ell away from the ore bodies and q
lerefore as nearly as practicable free

lie to mining operations.
"The entire equipment will be COM
leted and in use by the end of the
ear. The mill does not require any
xtensiVe alterations, but preparation
being made for a number of i'm
rovements looking to still higher re-
Overies and more economical hand
