a position in which it must provide &
western connection, or submit to a
sacrifice of a large percentage of the
ore business of the district. The build
! ing of the Northport smelter has d.
verified all Hercules ore to the west, a
large tonnage which was formerly
hauled to East Helena by the North
ern Pacific. Much of the Bunker Hill
d Sullivan ore goes to the same des-
tination and is handled by the North
ern Pacific, but this will end upon the
completion of the Bunker Hill smelter.
1t is only question of time when the
Callahan will mill its ore at
Enaville, a location in which the Nor
thern Pacific will be at a great disad
vantage in holding business which it
now has almost exclusively. The
Bunker Hill smelter will create a
large business for the railroads. but
the Northern Pacific will not be in DO
sition to share it to any great extent
with its present facilities. Under the
circumstances it does not require an
expert to figure out that the Northern
Pacific must make some move to keep
in touch with the readjustment CT
much of the heavy traffic which is
about to slip from it's grasp. This
would be effectually accomplished by
closing the gap between this city an !
Occur dAlene, and at the same time
give the company new cutoff trans
continental route. That the Northern
Pacific is planning to do this is the be-
lief of all who have watched the shift
ing traffic of the district with re
ence to the transportation companies.
Bunker Hill Survey.
The mysterious railroad survey that
is being made by the Bunker Hill &
Sullivan down the river from Kellogg
is the subject of no end of conjecture.
In some quarters it is interpreted to
be a move in the interest of the Mil
waukee, while in others the hand of
the Northern Pacific is plainly seen.
The purchase Of the ranch at the head
of navigation of the Occur dAlene
river a few months ago by the Bun
ker Hill & Sullivan was construed to
be in the interest of the Milwaukee
and was accepted as positive proof
that it's line would be Immediately ex-
tended to this district This theory is
now upset by the announcement of
President Earring that his company
has no intention of building here this
year. In spite of this, however, there
are strong reasons for believing that
1t will enter this field before long. But
no one seems to be able to figure out
what use the Milwaukee had for the
Old Mission ranch, and the opinion is
now advanced that the Bunker Hill
bought it, not for the Mil
waukee, but as a possible site for the
smelter.
With all these rumors in the air, ii
is impossible to run down any defin-
lite information as to railroad con-
struction, but there seems to be no
no doubt before the summer is far ad-
that important construction
will begin which will have an import
ant bearing upon the railroad traffic
If the district.

Bunker Hill s Sullivan Shelter and Its
Effect Upon the Smelling Business

The establishment of the 100000
smelter plant at Kellogg by the Bun
ker Hill & sullivan company is at
tracing widespread attention in min
ing circles throughout the country,
and its effect upon the smelling of
lead ores with reference to the big
smelling companies which have here
tofore handled the business is made
the subject of much discussion. The
following from the Engineering and
Mining Journal of April is of spe-
cial interest:
The Lead Shelters.
ION March 81 the Bunker Hill &
Sullivan Mining and Concentrating
company announced its final decision
to build it's new smeltery at Kellogg,
Idaho. There had been long consid-
Grafton of the relative merits Of KEEL
logg where the mine is situated, and
some point on the Pacific coast The
questions of fuel, fluxes and freight
rates were of course prime factors In
the meanwhile the ironwork for the
furnaces had been in process of manu-
facture at Allentown, Penn, where
fore no time was being lost on that
account.
1.-The entry of the Bunker Hill & |
Sullivan company into the lead smelt
ing business is going to add greatly |
to the interest and competition in
that business in which the American
Smelling and Refining company has
gradually been losing it's predomin
ance. Inasmuch as several of the
large producers now publish their pro-
duction figures in their official reports
a comparison of them with the total
production may be made.
THE total production of lead in the
United States, both from domestic and
foreign sources, was 615,253 tons, as {
reported in the Journal of January 8, {
1915, compared with 56S,329 tons in
1914 Since then three important /

Crosscut Has Probably 200 Feet to
Reach the Vein.
Much interest is being shown in the
progress Of work in the crosscut on
the Silver Moon. Within the last few
days a diabase dixie was encountered
which is generally accepted as a fav-
orabe indication of ore where it
comes in contact with the vein. There
are two definite veins on the Silver
Moon, one running in northerly and
southerly direction, the other easterly
and westerly. The two intersect on
Silver Moon ground On the first one
d shaft has been sunk 1876 feet which
has disclosed considerable ore. The
crosscut now being run is to inter-
sect the east and west vein at point
about $50 feet west of where the two
veins intersect and at a depth Of
about 900 feet. The prospect of en-
countering commercial ore on this
level is regarded very favorable, and
particularly when the drift is extend
ed east to the junction of the two
veins The Silver Moon company owns
nine claims on Canyon creek opposite
the Frisco, joining the Headlight on
the east and extending to the summit
where it joins the Big Divide, while
on the west it is connected with the
Alameda.

refinery of the Pennsylvania Smelling
company was recently acquired by the
interests owning the Hercules mine in

les was very large producer, the
smelling of whose ore recently pass

about the door, indignant at the de-

a wagon built high one side to catch
the golden ears of corn he threw into
the wagon.
The man who drove to the field, with
never a backward glance, was small,
