One of the directors of the Liberty
OIL company said last week that the
last word from the Spring Valley
scene of operations Is that the drill

The labor troubles which retarded
thinning and smelling operations are mp
parently ended, but, according to the

available for private industries.

The low price of lead has worked
almost incalculable hurt to western

and great reduction of forces In others.

tressing conditions for the mine oper'
ators-that number of the largest

will be reopened.
Here Is the way an eastern Journal
comments ON the lead situation:
'.,There are many reasons 10 expect
rise In the price of lead. Metal men
claim that the present price does not
reflect the true status of the market
and is wholly artificial. The market Is
