Settlement of Suit Between American
Smelling and Bunker Hill & Sullivan

pany should cease to do so then 1t
was obliged to give the Bunker Hill
not merely the terms that had. been
In force, but was obliged to meet the
terms of its competitors In the smelt-
ing business. The smelling company
did receive the major portion Of the
Occur dAlene output during 1915, 1916
and 1917 on terms that were no better
than those which the Bunker Hill re-
ceived during 1905 to 1915, therefore
the smelling company, by emitting to
make new contracts, was In position
to continue the old terms, assuming
the contract to be binding, so long as
1t refrained from making market
and SO long as it retained control of
the original production of lead ore;
come when such inaction would en-
tail the loss of the major production
from the Occur dAlene and therefore
tie loss of the Bunker Hill output, or
the smelling company would be COM
PEELED to meet its competitors terms
which necessarily would be affected by
the new competition of the Bunker
Hill smelter. Meanwhile two Of the
mines that had been shipping to the
smelling company became exhausted
so that since the beginning Of the cur
rent year 1t has not been receiving the
| majority of the ores" "a phrase sug-
costing the poor wording of the con-
tracD Moreover, the Bunker Hill
smelter was receiving SO much outside
ore that it was not dependent on the
output Of its own mine, and would
have been embarrassed If 1t had to
treat that output in addition to the
current receipts of custom ore. The
contract was uncertain in its defini-
ton of the means for ascertaining the
rates accorded by competing smelters
and as these terms might be changed
with each new contract made in the
region, 1t seemed likely that the con-
troversy would persist until the ex-
piration Of the contract. For these
and other reasons both parties con-
cluded to cancel the contract and en-
ter into new one that promised to
obviate litigation. Undoubtedly they
have been wise in so doing, but we re-
greet the event nevertheless, because
we have reason to believe that 1t
would have been to the public inter-
est to have suit In the course of
which the methods OF smelling COM
panies would have been barred, partic-
ularly In 80 far as they involve prefer
entail rates from the railroads and
against the producers of
ore. We rejoice, however, that a
possible menace to the success of the
Bunker Hill smelter has been remov-
Cd and that this Independent plant

Mining and Scientific Press)

We are informed that the contro-
versy, developing into serious litiga-
ton, that has existed for several years
between the American Smelling & Re-
firing company and the Bunker Hill
& Sullivan Mining & Concentrating
company has been settled. out Of
court. In our issue of December 1,
1917, and on other occasions, we have
referred to the dispute over an ore
contract eliminating in suit COM
menced by the smelling company in
the federal court of Oregon, followed
by petition for temporary injunc-
| ton against the continued operation
of it's own smelter by the Bunker Hill
company. When preparations were
under way for the trial of the suit it
was realized, we are informed that
the contract was so indefinite in many
particulars as to afford ground for
persistent litigation. Therefore the
parties in controversy, by mutual con-
sent have cancelled all contracts be-
tween them and entered into a new
one whereby the smelling company
receives a portion Of the ore of the
Bunker Hill company at rates that are
satisfactory to both parties In pre-
vtous references to the subject, we
have mentioned the salient facts. The
principal contract was for a period
of rs years, from 1905, but 1t provided
fixed terms for only the first five
years, covering such of the output as
contained between 80 per cent and rs
per cent lead. It did not require the
Bunker Hill to put it's ores through a
mill, and, as the ore from the mine
averaged less than Is per cent in lead,
II was possible to contend that none
of the ore came within the limits
specified. AS a matter of practice
however, the Bunker Hill company
did concentrate most of Its ore and it's
methods Of concentration were such
that at times nearly third of Its out
put was a product containing more
than rs per cent lead. As this grade
Of material did not fall within the
binding terms Of the contract. it was
provided that the smelling company
should have an option to purchase this
product by giving the Bunker Hill the
best going market rates and terms.
When the latter company built its
own smelter last year. II placed itself
In position, by bidding for other ores
produced in the Occur d'Alene, to |

lilemma arose over the concentrate of |

ompany to a majority of independent

BOISE PAPER SEES MUCH DIS
LOYALTY IN IDAHO.

According to the Boise Statesman,
Idaho has nothing on Wisconsin in
the matter of disloyalty. and any de-
rogatory comments from the people OF
this state directed at Wisconsin are
In the nature Of casting stones from q
glass house. In substantiation Of Its
assertion, the Statesman gives a num-
Der of instances Of pro-Germanism In
various parts of the state. but Omits
the very thing most necessary to
clinch the truth Of its assertions. name
ly, the places where these exhibitions
of disloyalty occurred. According te
the Boise paper:
In one precinct in northern
county of this state our national
holidays, such as Washington's
and Lincolns birthday anniver-
saries, have never been observed
in the schools, whereas German
holidays have been religiously
kept.
school houses in another dis
triet In the state were always dec
Grated inside and out with the
German and Austrian flags until
we went to war, and then only the
action of patriotic citizens forced
| the removal of these banners and
the hosting of the Stars and
Stripes. -
"At church in one small Idaho
town the head Of the congregation
| is reported to have jumped on the
American flag at one Of his SER
vices, while two of his congrega-
ton expressed themselves as hop
ing that none Of our boys who has
gone abroad would live to return.
