Make the Barracks
a Club for Soldiers

Assuming that every soldier
gets his job back when he returns
there Will still be a large number
seeking employment at a time
when jobs are not easy to find,
In many places provision is being
made for boarding and lodging
these men while waiting for work
Tor 1t Is evident that they will not
come out of the army with anv
surplus cash to carry them over
until employment is found. What
is Wallace and the Coeur
dAlene district going to do about
1t? We have met every war de-
mand loyalty and literally up to
TINS time; let us not fail now in
the final test We speeded the
boys away with lusty cheers,
waving flags and blaring bands.
Now that they have performed
their duty with splendid valor,
1t is up to us to see that upon
their return they are made to feel
that their service and sacrifice
are duly appreciated. The bar
racks in this city, occupied by SOL
diers who We're here to protect our
industry in the early days of the
war, should be transformed into a
club for the soldiers waiting for
work. Everything should be pro-
vided for their comfort and
maintenance, all in a spirit that
would make them feel that it was
done with the same patriotic mo-
tive that cheered their departure,
that it is due them for services
rendered. There should be no
further delay. The boys are
coming almost daily and they
should have place at their dis
posal with ample accommodations
without cost while waiting for

RECORD SHIPMENTS
FROM THE NATIONAL

at $4,000
IS COPPER AND SILVER

A FTER A RUN Of hard luck
~ that caused much loss Of time
/ and which would have dis
couraged a less determined
management, the National now seems
to have entered upon a period Of un-
interrupted operation with everything
| favorable for the accumulation of a
substantial surplus in the treasury.
Although there was some delay caus-
ed by mishap In the mine the
months of November and December
were characterized by a series of un.
avoidable accidents and delays In the
mill which greatly cut down produce
tion Of concentrates. However. the
new year seems to have marked the
turn In the long lane of hard luck, for
during the month of January the Ma
tional mine and mill have been run.
ming without a hitch and shipments
have been going forward at rate
never equalled before The mill has
been handling approximately 800 tons
of ore per day. and by tomorrow eve-
ming, the last day of the month, tho
company will have established a new
record of IA carloads OF concentrates
shipped during the period. The price
of copper when the final settlement
for these shipments Is made remains
to be determined, but the best auth
critics seem to place 1t around 23
cents, and silver will be $1.O1M. TAX
ing 80 tons as an average carload, a
these shipments would be $4,000 per
car, or a total value of shipments for
the month of $4,000 The concen-
trates run about Is per cent copper
and probably 40 ounces in silver.
Much Ore Available.
The ore that is now being milled
comes generally from the 500, 1900 and
400 levels, on each of which large
amount has been broken down. Re-
cent work has disclosed a better grade
Of ore on the 500, and work now in
progress Is expected to disclose a
similar result on the 600 Work for
the present has been discontinued in
the drift from the winze on the 1900,
although there is reported large
showing of ore of good milling grade.
The mill Is running full time, han
ding about 300 tons Of ore per day
with half the plant in operation. A
higher grade concentrate could be
produced, but experience has shown
that better results are obtained by
holding the grade down to about is
per cent copper Assuming that the
market for copper will soon be ad-
iusted on a basis of from 20 to 20
cents per pound, and with an assured
price Of 81 an ounce for silver, the
outlook for profitable operation Of
he National is very flattering, in fact
'ar better than 1t has ever been in
he history Of the mine.

Work for Soldiers
Constructing Roads

The matter of employment for
returning soldiers is receiving
universal attention at this time,
and as a means to that end the
construction of highways has
proved to be the most feasible
plan. The commissioners of this
county are giving attention to
the solution of this problem, and
1t Is hoped that an extensive cam
paign of road building and i'm
provements will be undertaken,
both because the county needs
better and permanent roadways
mad because it is the duty of the
people to see that employment Is
provided the men who gave their
services to the country In war. In
a letter to julius p. Hall, county
surveyor, II. c. Allen, state high
way engineer states that 1--WE are
including in our tentative budget
some state highway funds for
Shoshone county for the years
1919-20," and adds that he had
never received much encourage
ment from this county and that
he Is glad to note an interest
displayed by the present board,
and also your own interest In as
sisting the matter" Mr.. Hall
called attention to the fact that
before the main highway across
this county could become q state
road, it would have to be survey
ed under the direction of the
highway engineer and right Of
way secured. OF the entire 81
miles in length, Mr.. Hall says
only miles of right of way Is on
record Referring to this subject,
Mr.. Allen said he expected to be
in this county within the next six
weeks and would then take up
the matter.

Power ls Secured.

Power Is Secured.
A. d. Marshall, manager of the Eu-
reka Mining & Milling company,
states that development will be re-
sumed as soon as the electric power
line of the Washington Water Power
company is extended to the property.
A new compressor has been installed
near the portal Of the lower tunnel
and 40 horsepower motor. 1t Is ex-
pected that the power company will
make the connection within a short
time. The distance Is only 215 feet
from the main transmission line. The
Eureka ground covers the ledge for
over 5000 feet. as evidenced by a large
outcrop in places 200 feet wide. Con-
siderable lead silver ore has been ex-
posed In the upper tunnel and the
lower tunnel, which has attained
depth of 400 or 500 feet, Is following
a north south vein containing some
ore. This vein evidently intersects
the main vein running east and west.
and it is the purpose of the manage
ment to extend the drift to the point
Of intersection which Is believed to
be not more than 200 feet. Mr.. Mar
shall expresses great confidence In
finding a commercial ore body when
this work is accomplished. The COM
pany is well financed and the man.

"Copper-The large producers did
no business this week. Indeed, we
have had no reports of any transac-
tions by producers large or small. The
air has been full Of vague rumors re-
specting what consumers would pay
or terms that had been offered to
them, but these rumors reflect wide
variations. There is no doubt that
copper has been offered during the
week by small producers at 19c., but
how much could be obtained at that
figure or how much could be placed
are both uncertain.
There can be no real market in
copper until some one of the large
producers, who has plenty of copper
to sell, undertakes to make a market.
In its initial stages such a market
would naturally be convulsive and
would no doubt, go lower temporarily
than the economic level. The idea
that there would be no substantial
buying at any price, under present
conditions, is fallacious. Delay has
already produced bad situation, and
every days further delay makes
things worse. The markets are 60
ing to be righted only by letting ma
ture take it's course. There might be
a temporary palliative If some large
buyer should come in.
when copper buying begins, as II
will some day, it is likely to occur
first in a demand for wire bars. The
greatest part of the present stocks Of
refined copper everywhere is in in
gots and ingot bars. Conversion of
these into other forms would be cost
ly."

The Engineering and Mining Jour
nal has the following comment on the
metal market for the week ending on
January %:
"There was very little business done
in any of the markets this week, but
such as there was reflected further
weakness. Lead Is distinctly in the
best position of all of the major met
ais, the lead producers having looked
things squarely in the face and hav-
ing displayed good judgment in their
handling of difficult problems.
"The British minister Of munitions
gave notice Of the following stocks in
his possession in Great Britain on
January 1, 1919: Copper, $4,000 long
tons; spelter COB, 22,273 speltor, re-
fined, SO17; aluminium, 1887; soft pig
lead, 62,5S2; nickel, 2O96; and anti
mony 35OS tons.
According to our own advices, the
stock of spelter in France amounts to
900 short tons. The French gov
ernment is refusing all licenses to
import metals until the stock in the
hands of the government Is exhaust
ed"

Mining Situation Unchanged in Spite of
Many Rumors.Review of
Metal Market

TIME PAST week has been rife
with rumors regarding the min
ing situation, ranging from a
report that all the mining COM
panies contemplated suspending op-
erations to the more cheering news
that the two mines now idle were pre-
pairing to resume. Along with the last
report was coupled the persistent as
sertion that the Day mines and the
Day smelter at Northport had been
taken over by the Guggenheims for
the measly consideration of $4,000
00O AS if this was not enough to sat
isfy the voracious nav of the smelter
octopus, the Bunker Hill & Sullivan
mine and smelter were also reported
within it's grasp, while another arm
had closed around the Interstate CAL
lahan, leaving the Hecla, Hunter, Ma
tional and Success and a few tailings
mills scattered along the river the on
ly remaining representatives Of once
prosperous and Independent industry.
1t was a great week for the dopesters,
the insiders, the wiseacres and those
who delight in dispensing the truth
about mining in the northwest All
of these rumors proved both interest
ing and entertaining and helped break
the monotony of an otherwise dull
and depressed existence, but the alb,
sence of any fact to support them
leaves the situation as it was in the
with the field again open
future Of the mining industry.
The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1919-01-30

The mining situation remains prac-
tically the same as it was when the
policy of curtailment of production
was adopted the last of the year, and
if there is any radical change con-
templated it is not yet in evidence,
Another cut in the price of lead was
Il feature of the past week and a
slight increase in the demand for the
metal was noted, but these were not
sufficient to exert any appreciable in
fluence upon local mining operations.
In the absence Of an active demand
for lead at home or for export, stocks
continue to accumulate, but so far as
can be learned the surplus lead in
the United States is not large COM
pared with the demand in normal
times and would be quickly absorbed
upon the resumption Of industrial ac-
tivity throughout the country. A for
tunate feature of the situation in the
Coeur d'Alene district Is the uniform
value in silver associated with lead.
The fixed price of $101B for silver
and an unlimited world demand for
the metal is a substantial offset to the
low price of lead and is a big factor
in meeting the operating expenses and
enabling the companies to continue
active.
