LEAD MARKET.
Better Conditions Expected When the
Peace Treaty Is Siqned.

Peace Treaty ls Signed.
The Financial Review, of New York.
published by Coleman & Reitze, I'M
der date Of January rs, has the fol-
lowing comment on the lead situa-
ton:
"The price of pig lead was further
slashed this week when the American
Smelling & Refining company cut the
trust asked price from &c to SIC a
pound, New York. This compares
with S.05c per pound war price pre-
vailing in early December, and for
many months before, the S05c price
having been fixed by the government.
"The Independent price of lead, fix
ed by the st. Joseph Lead company
and Bunker Hill & Sullivan, has here
tofore been 1ac a pound under the
asked price of the American Smelling
& Refining company. The general
sales price has been between the trust
and independent asked prices. 1t
would now appear, if the independents
follow the cut, that about 5A to 5Bc
will mark the general price level at
which pig lead will change hands on
the new price scales.
'4The present stagnation in lead as
in other metals and commodities fol-
lows from the abrupt end of war de-
mand, and the fact that neither re-
demand, nor for that
matter even normal peace demand,
have yet set in.
"a further extraordinary situation
in lead, not existing in other metals
except perhaps zinc, lies in the fact
that a huge accumulation exists IN
Australia of pig lead and concen-
trates accumulated during shipping
in war times, but now be-
ing unloaded on the market.
'The leading lead mines of Idaho
and elsewhere have curtailed opera
tions, as the mutual coordination that
exists in the copper industry under
of this sort is not so
very we'll developed in the lead min
ing and smelling industry. However,
the situation in lead as regards re-
newed demand apd exhaustion OF
war time accumulation, is
expected to adjust itself by about the
time the peace treaty is signed, II
not sooner"

MINING MAGANEsE ORE
At PH|l|PsBuRG, MONT.
BETTER GRADE OF coNcEN.
TRATEs BEING PRODUCED
REVIVE SILVER MINING.

w. w. Williams, of Philipsburg, ont
of the large manganese producers OF
the district, arrived in Butte recent.
ly on his way to Chicago and Biz
mingham, Ala. on manganese bust
ness, says the Anaconda Standard
Mr.. Williams brings more cheerful
report from the manganese producers
than that indicated when the war
suddenly put an end to the demand
for that class of ore, and now believes
that there is still a future for the
business in Philipsburg. This posi-
bility is based upon the successful
work of the electrical separating pro-
cess first introduced in the camp by
the Beaver Creek Mining company,
which now is successfully handling a
large daily tonnage and making pro-
duct of such grade and quality that it
rs thought a permanent market can
, be held for it for some time.
High Grade Concentrates.
1t has been demonstrated that the
electric concentration of these ores Is
capable of producing chemical grade
of dioxide manganese concentrates
from ores that are suitable for max
ing this kind of material, and this
product commands higher market
price than the furnace ores that have
been shipped heretofore to the steel
plants.
This grade of manganese concel.-
trates Is largely used in the manu-
facture of electric dry batteries AMI
the market will consume large ton
mage annually. But very little chem
ical grade manganese dioxide is pro-
duced in the country, the larger sup
ply coming from Nova Scotia, and
If 1t is demonstrated that the Philips
burg district can furnish the raw ma
terial of the character required to
make it there will be a permanent and
profitable market for all that can be
turned off.
Rich Silver Mines.
In spite Of the shutting down of
many Of the smaller manganese prop
critics, there is still considerable &C.
tivity around the camp and Mr.. Will
liams estimated that about half the
force of last summer is employed on
manganese properties still operating
and on several silver prospects that
are being developed. Several deep
shafts are under way looking for the
deep silver ores, and the Bi-Metallic
company is expecting to sink the shaft
on the old Hope mine on Hope hill to
the 1O00-foot level during the coming
summer.
The Hope mine was second only to
the Ri metallic in it's production of
silver in the camp, and for some time
has been producing a considerable
quantity of good grade of copper
silver ore from leasers who have been
above the water levels in the
old mine.
