Manager Reports Promising Ore Show
ing in West Drift.

Since the last issue of The Miner, in
which was given an extended report
of the showing developed at the Ida
no. Nevada, on Placer creek, the man
ager, A. J. Mcdonald, has made a
brief report to the directors of the
most encouraging terms of the outlook
for the property. His report is accom-
ranied by a detailed financial state
ment from Il. r. Turk, secretary
treasurer Of the company. Manager
McDonald's report follows:
Since my last report our contract
for 200 feet of drifting and crosscut-
ting on the 200-foot level, 100 feet to
the east and 10 feet to the west, has
been completed. We have discontinued
work in the east drift for the present
and are now working entirely in the
west drift, where it is looking very
promising at the present time. We
are following a fine showing of copper,
quartz and some lead mixed with it
along the foot wall of the ledge. This
is at point about $50 feet west of the
shaft. | would recommend to your
board of directors that you let anoth-
er contract in the west drift. | think
the work can be accomplished a great
deal cheaper that way than by days
pay. We are working only four mer
at the present time by days pay"

MILL TO HANDLE TAiLlNGS.
Good Profit to Be Made in Dump on
Government GuIch.

The Government Consolidated Mines
company, which was Incorporated a
few weeks ago, will build mill of
zoo or 300 tons capacity through the
sale of treasury stock. The company
has lease on large tailings dump on
Government gulch, about two miles
from Kellogg, which according to care
full sampling contains an average of
3.S ounces silver and 465 per cent
lead. A recent announcement by the
company gives an estimate of the cost
of handling, milling and marketing, the
figures show a net profit of $3.50 per
ton. 1t is estimated that the com
pany has not less than 100000 tons of
taiings, the aggregate profit from
which would be $252,000 The pro-
posed mill will cost $4,000 The
company already has the following
equipment which has been used in
working the tailings; Concentrating
tables of SO to 20 tons capacity; flot-
alton unit of so tons and elevator and
trommel of 100 tons. Electric power
can be installed at nominal cost, as
the power line crosses the property
The control of the company is in the
hands of well known practical miners
and the management will be in the
hands OF r. P CrisWell.

THE PRICE OF LEAD.

Engineering and Mining Journal)
The cut in the price of lead to "
cents stimulated buying and during
the week following transactions were
far in excess of the normal. 1t is gen.
orally a good policy in such a declin-
ing market as was being experienced
in lead for some big interest to take
the bull by the horns and cut the price
to such a low figure that buyers can
not fail to be interested, after which
the market has chance to build up
again. The cut to 5 " cents was i'm
mediately recognized as being prob
ably bedrock price. If the buying
power of our dollar be now only two
thirds of the normal, and there is
much evidence in support of that view,
5h cents for lead now Is equivalent
to only 3.6 cents previous to the war,
and we know that lead never con-
tinued long at so low price. A
price of cents now may correspond
with 4 cents formerly.
The first burst Of buying last week
was manifestly to a large extent to
replenish the depleted stocks of dis
trbutors. Whether real consumption
| is to be revived remains to be seen
! 1t is we'll known that the use of white
lead was curtailed in 1915 and prob
ably there was further curtailment in

MILWAUKEE HAD TO PAY.
Government Receivers Value Of Tim
Der Cut in Right of Way.

The United States supreme court on
the case of the Milwaukee railroad
VS.. the United States in favor Of the
latter. When the railroad was built
through the st. Joe forest about ten
years ago, the forest service made the
usual requirements that timber cut
along the right Of way must be paid
for, and that the railroad must sign
certain stipulations to protect nation
al forest interests. The company re-
fused to comply with these require
ments, and the case was pending in
the courts until the decision above
given was reached.
On october 10, 1917, the railroad de-
posted in the Western Montana Ma
tional bank at Missoula the sum Of
$S9,264 in payment of damages item
