The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1917-10-25

Mining company made to expire in
March. 1913. the terms of which are
Iunimpertant.
Better Terms for Hercules.
During the year 1912 the plaintiff
entered into the following new con-
tracts: Hercules Mining company. for
all its product, contract being made to
expire May %, 1915, settlement
terms at 80 per cent of the lead con-
tents at full New. York prices and 95
per cent of the silver contents, with
freight and treatment charge of $l4
per ton; Sierra Nevada Mining COM
pany for all its product, terms similar
to Hercules, excepting that freight and
treatment rate was placed at SIS per
ton; Bunker Hill 4 Sullivan, covering
product containing 10 per cent in lead
and more, made to expire May 81
1915, settlement terms full New York
price for 80 per cent of lead contents
SIS per ton.
The answer then alleges that in the
year 1914, competition between said
smelling companies for Occur dAlene
ores apparently ceased and that Bun
ker Hill was informed of the plain
tiff's intention to increase smelling
charges after June /, 1915. 1t is al
legged that the plaintiff warned indie
pendent smelling companies that if
they entered into any contracts aztec
June l, 1915, to purchase ores from the
the plaintiff, would make it impossi-
bic for said other smelling compan-
les to thereafter do business in the
Occur d'Alene district The defendant
alleges that said other smelling COM
panies, as a result of said threat, per-
suasion or agreement, did refrain from
making contracts for any of the ores
last above named Prior to, and sub
sequent to April 49, 1915, the Sierra
Nevada endeavored to make a new
contract with plaintiff and other smell
ting companies, but was unable to do
so on terms comparable with those
which had heretofore prevailed. The
best terms offered by the plaintiff
were those upon which settlement had
been made with Bunker Hill for me-
dunn grade ores between the years
1910 and 1915. Thereupon, Sierra New
ada ceased to operate its mine or pro-
duce ores therefrom.
The answer also alleges that on or
about June l. 1915, Hercules also en-
deavored atoasecure from plaintiff and
other smelling companies a contract
for sale of its ores after June /, 1915,
but was unable to do SO upon any
terms approaching those heretofore
accorded by the plaintiff. Subsequent
~, during 1915, Hercules acquired the
Northport smeter and transformed it
from copper to Il lead reduction
plant.

What Caused the Break.


On or about June 5, 1915, the plain
tiff notified Bunker Hill that thereaf-
ter it would settle for it's high grade
lead ore on terms no better than those
that had heretofore been paid for its
product running between 80 and rs per
cent in lead. Bunker Hill promptly
notified the plaintiff that it refused to
accept such offer and construed it to
longer desired to purchase its high
grade product; that the prices offered
by the latter We're not equal to the
best market rates and terms in the
district at that time, which We're full
New York price for lead, with freight
and treatment charge of $15 per ton
Thereupon Bunker Hill ceased to ship
to the plaintiff any of its product in
excess of Is per cent, excepting a few
tons shipped by mistake and without
the knowledge or consent of the oftic-
ers of the company. Thereafter, Bun
ker Hill made numerous efforts to sell
its high grade to other smelling com
panies, but was unable to secure a
contract, notwithstanding the fact that
the product was much desired in
smelling practice.
1t is alleged that, for the purpose Of
preventing Bunker Hill from receiving
the benefit in competing terms ana
prices provided in the contract of 1900,
the plaintiff refused to make any new
!, contracts in the Occur d'Alene district,
and has refused to give any better
terms than those accorded prior TO
June /, 1915. for product containing
between 80 and IS per cent lead. Ihe
plaintiff, since 1915, has offered better
terms and prices to other shippers,
provided they would first secure from
Bunker Hill a waiver of the benefit of
said better terms.
Explaining it's action in erecting its
own smelling plant at Kellogg, Bun
ker Hill alleges that it was necessary
| in providing means for extracting val
ues in its product carrying rs per cent
An lead and more than 80 per cent and
| less. for the purpose of treating sur
fcient of the product containing be-
tween 80 and IS per cent as to yleld
81 tons of metallic lead daily and for
the purpose of creating competitive
rates for all of it's other ores which had
been cut off by acts or the plalntlff'
Kellogg Plant.
This part of the answer continues:
Said smelling and refining plant was
practically completed during the
month of July, 1917, and since July,
1917, this defendant has been operat-
ing said smelling and refining plant
and has been engaged in smelling
products of this defendant which con-
tanned more than rs per cent in lead
and some of the mill products OF this
defendant which contained less than
80 per cent in lead and defendant in
tends to continue to smelt said pro-
ducts. together with sufficient Of it's
other products containing between 30
Der cent and Is per cent to yield 81
tons of metallic lead per day: and Will,
unless said plaintiff complies with the
terms of contract of March 20, 1905,
smelt the remainder Of its ores and
products. This defendant has entered
into contracts with other mining com
panies for ores to mix with ores OF
defendant and has entered into sew
eral contracts binding itself to sell the
Itaad and silver produced by said smell

WOULD GUST GERMANS
FROM MASONIC ORDER
French Members Say Teuton. Have
Betrayed Principles of Craft.

Special TO The Washington Herald.
Paris, May 29.-A movement that has
already gained considerable ground has
been begun by French and Belgian, Free
Masons to disinternationalize Freemas-
onry on the continent by the exclusion
therefrom Of both German and Austrian
lodges.
The argument Is put forth that neither
the Germans nor the Austrians have
shown the spirit OF charity and fratern-
ity which is the foundation Of the prin-
ciples Of FTeemasonry, but have used
their privilege of access into French and
English lodges for the sole purpose Of
spying and betraying the craft to whom
they have sworn brotherhood.
Attention is also called to the fact that
Leon Magette. senator from Liege, was
arrested and deported at the instigation
Of German Masons because he had pro-
posed to them that they sit in Judgment
on the atrocities committed in Belgium
and protest against them.
At the beginning of the war OF 1870
the Grand Lodge of Belgium addressed
general letter to the Grand Lodges Of
France and Germany, requesting that the
Free Masons belonging to the belllgerents
use all their influence to prevent acts of
cruelty and to conduct the war as
humanely as possible.
The return post brought q letter from
the Grand Lodge Of France. signed by
some OF the best known names in the
country. notably those of generals who
constituted the high command in the
fields, and who promised to do every
thing within their power to mollify the
horrors and rgors Of war.
No response was ever received from
the German Grand Lodge nor from any
German Masons. On August 2, 1914, be-
fore the invasion OF Belgium, the Bel
gian Grand Lodge. then not foreseeing
that their country would be overrun.
again wrote to both the Grand Lodges
Of France and Germany, putting forth
the same suggestions made in 1870
The same noble response was received
from the French Grand Lodge and even
| from many individual lodges, while on
the part Of Germany was nothing but
the same significant silence, claim the
leaders Of the movement, which was
marked by TeutOn Masons' deeds of vio-
| lence against their brother Masons, by
assassination. the burning of allied Ma
sons homes and the violation Of the
latters' wives and daughters.

Hoover Started Work
As Oregon Office Boy

Portland, Ore. May 29-Frcrn once boy
in 1885 to national food administrator in
1917 for the United States and perha ps
for all its allies, is the brief history of
Bert Hoover" now Herbert c. Hoover.
The gap of twenty-five years in which
Bert passed into 'HTbert' Is filled
with many incidents Of worldwide re-
nown.
Twenty-Five years ago Bert Hoover
began his business career as an once
boy in the employ Of his uncle. DR.. Min
thorn, who had charge OF the Oregon
Land Company. at Salem. After q
thorough trial the uncle said with con-
vlction that as an office boy Bert was
not worth $35 a month. which he had been
receiving.
But Bert was equally finn in his con-
viction that he was easily worth SIS a
month and more. That was the start
and the office was left behind. with Stan
ford University as the goal. There young
Hoover attained his degree by working
his way through college.
