Zinc Producers Agree On Terms of Sale
of Grades of Metal To the Government

! off the government will get the bene-
fit of it.
"This arrangement as made by the
zinc producers and the government is
eminently fair. The dfferential be-
tween high grade and prime western
is somewhat lower than the average
of what prevailed previous to the war.
However, the dfferential is in favor
of intermediate Gas compared with
prime westerly is somewhat higher.
AS to the price for prime western it.
self, the cumulative average for the
10 years ending with 1916 was about
Sk C st. Louis. This was, of course,
considerably higher than the arithme-
tic average for the same years, owing
to the greatly expanded sales in 1915
and 1916 at greatly elevated prices,
zinc being the first Of the major met
ais to rise to extravagant figures.
"Any comparison with 10-year av-
erages is, however, Of no use except
to furnish a basis for ideas. There is
no particular sanctity about a 10-year
average, a 20-year average, or any
other average, either arithmetic or
cumulative, and certainly no reason
why any such figure should arbitrarily
be selected as price. The real con-
sideration is what is the economic lev
ell? What price will produce all the
zinc that Is needed?
"At the present time, with the in
flated prices prevailing for labor and
material of all kinds, there is not
much doubt that determining price
for zinc is in the neighborhood of
SIZE, st. Louis. so long as the present
supply is required. AT that level the
sheet ground mines of the Carterville-
Webb City district of the Joplin re-
gion cease to be profitable, or are so
slightly profitable that there is but
little incentive to operate them at
maximum capacity. So long there
FORE as the zinc from them is needed
the price for the metal must be at
least SIC st. Louis, all other condi-
Ttions remaining as al present. When
their zine is no longer needed, they be-
ing the principal high cost producers
the price will go below SIZE, and those
mines will have to be closed and will
remain closed until reductions in the
wages for labor, the cost OF material
etc, permit them to be operated again
"At the present time about all the
! zinc that is being produced in the
United States is needed, or probably is
going to be needed. When, therefore
the zinc producers agree With the gov
rnnmnt upon a price that will maintain
, the supply. without yielding an abnor.
NAL profit both parties to the trans
action are conforming to the precepti
Of sound economies"

The purpose Of this committee is to
insure the government of it's supply
of zinc during the war and to secure
the cooperation of the zinc producers
of the country In taking care Of what
ever needs may arise.
The following prices for slab zinc
have been fixed with government ap-
proval:
GradeA-11 Nc per pound
Grade Bile per pound.
Grade CSC per pound.
The price Of Grade c is protected
against decline.
These prices are in carload lots
with freight allowed to New York de-
livery rate points.
During the war Grade A metal has
sold as high as 42c per pound. and the
market price at the time of making
these prices was 1Sc per pound. Grade
c metal has sold as high as 27Rc per
pound and the market price at the
time Of making these prices was l0c
per pound.
Fair for Both Producers and Govern

property of which is about mile
from the little town of Black Cloud,
On Grouse gulch. a tributary of Nine
Mile. The Ruth is on the opposite

Black Cloud group and is believed to
be continuance of that famous vein.
A trosscut is being run which, ac-
cording to reports from the property
this week, should reach the vein in
about $50 feet. Five men are en-
ployed and the property is equipped
with compressor and everything nee

OLD VET ERAN.
Vein Widens With Most Favorable
Indications for Ore.

The west drift on the Old Veteran
is now at a point Just about under the
portal of No. tunnel, about 300 feet
above. About rs or 100 feet from the
portal is, the big showing of iron car
Donates which is believed to be the
top of an ore shoot. A change has
recently taken place in the drift that
iustilies the belief that this ore shoot
is not far away. About two feet OF
white vein material that appears to
be mostly quartz and lime is now in
the face and assays show. values in
gold, silver and lead. 1t Is pronounc
ed the best indication of ore that has
been encountered. The oxidized vein
matter also continues about two feet
wide, and the entire width Of the vein
is about seven feet.

mated that on the summit the road is

that the snow will disappear from the

After making this polar expedition,
the viewing party descended and
walked over the line of the proposed
new road to Lookout, encountering
snow at only one place for a few hun
dred feet and found the Lookout sum-
NIT absolutely free from snow From
conversation with members of the
party ii is learned that it is perfectly
feasible to connect the present road
with a road from the Montana side by
building not to exceed two miles on a

ally 4. 1t would not be an expensive

ponds upon the construction of road
across the summit that is safe and
that is open to travel for the longest
possible period each year. The people
of Mineral county recognize the i'm
portance of changing the road to
Lookout and the commissioners have
decided to build their end of it,
amounting to almost four times the
distance required from the Shoshone
county side. Shall Shoshone county
maintain a barrier to this great trans
continental highway by refusing to
build two miles of road?

In connection with the official reports
that the Germans are withdrawing
some 20 versts to- new lines on the
Riga front, General Toheremissoff,
commander of the armies on the
northern front, has reported to the
government that the position of the
Russian forces is improving. He said
they had managed to prevent a
further advance and had secured the
safety Of all ways of entrance to Pet
rograd. The armies apparently had
awakened to consciousness he
added.
AS a result Of the German with
drawal, apparently for the purpose of
Strengthening the line for winter per-
manency, it is understood the pro-
visi0nal government has changed its
view that the capital should be re-
moved to Moscow Immediately, and
that it will now proceed very slowly
with the removal program.
