NORTHWEST MINING NEWS.

The Standard Silver-Lead Mining

April 80, $33O,972 March 81 and
$352,375 February 2S, according to a
series of reports issued from the Of

pany suffered net loss of 5,587 in
April and of $21, 400 in March, but
earned net profit Of $34,706 in Feb

The National Copper Mining CON-
pany, operating mine and mill at
Mullan, Idaho, earned $4,000 to
$4,000 net in May, according to an
official estimate. This is comparable
with merely nominal profits in other
recent months. The increase in
earnings results chiefly from the
yield of an ore body developed in
recent weeks above the s00-foot level.

MARKET AT SPOKANE.

The general business and economic
situation is a true paradox. On one
hand it may be said that continued
advances in the average price of
many commodities, due, in large
measure, to continued wage in
creases, is hating real development
and REIMBURSEMENT" more than any
other single influence. On the other
hand it may be said that efforts to
organize the country for peave activi'
ties have made considerable head
way. There is good tone to gen.
eral trade, with broad activity in re-
tail lines at various centers owing
to the relatively high spending
power of the wage earning classes.

AMAZON DIXIE.
Crosscutting 10 tho North Vein
Drifted 800 Feet.

The management OF the Amazon
Dixie company has discontinued drift
ing on the south vein after running
east and west a total distance of 800
feet There was a very good showing
of ore continuously in both drifts,
sometimes with only a few inches and
at other times lead silver ore was well
distributed throughout the face of the
drift. The showings In both the east
and west faces We're better than ever
before when work was discontinued
The purpose in stopping drifting at
this time was to transfer the work to
the crosscut to the north vein in an
ticipation of a shortage of water for
power, the amount now not being suf-
ficient to keep up work in both places
and provide power for the hoist and
pump. This north vein was uncovered
while eXcavating for the dam, where
it showed surprising values in lead
and zinc 1t was cut a short distance
from the portal of the main tunnel,
where 1t carries or 6 per cent zinc.
1t is a big, strong vein. but the cross
cut that is now being run Is the first
attempt to explore it. This crosscut
is on the 100 level, over 400 feet be-
low the main tunnel 1t is possible
that the vein may be cut in about so
feet further.
Several of the large stockholders in
the east are expected to visit the Am
azon-Dixie this month, and 1t is prob
able that arrangements will be effect
ed at that time to provide electric
power.

NATIONAL SHIPMENTS
IS CARLOADS IN JUNE
EARNED $4,000 IN MAY
A DNJUNE RECORD WAS
BETTER.

The National shipped 16 carloads of
concentrates in June, this being one
carload more than the record for May.
Had it not been for lost time in the
mill, one stop alone being for almost
4S hours, the shipments in June would
have reached Is cars. The company
earned a net profit in May of $20OOO
in round figures, and this means pro-
fit after deducting all operating ex-
penses and freight and treatment
charges. There ar eabout So men on
the National payroll, which represents
a monthly outlay of around $lO,OOO,
while other expenses would probably
bring the cost of operation up to the
neighborhood of $4,000 per month. AS
compared with May, the net profit Tor
June will no doubt be considerably
higher. The average grade of concen-
trates shipped was practically the
same, that is, about Is per cent copper
and 40 ounces of silver, while the av-
erage settlement prices of both metals
were higher than in May
Ore in Upper Levels.
A large amount of ore is available
on the 500 level, which is 200 feet
above the main working tunnel, and
work now in progress will probably
prove this ore shoot to be much longer
than is now exposed. The ore has not
been found on the 900 yet, but there
are unmistakabe indications that 1t is
not far away. the rock being heavily
stained with copper The group seems
to have faulted, which may make
little extra prospecting necessary be-
fore locating the ore. Ore that is now
being milled comes chiefly from the
1900 shaft level. This will be exhaust
ed before long, after which all work IN
the shaft will be discontinued for the
present at least and the ore will be
drawn from the ground above the
main tunnel This will make sub
stantial reduction in the operating ex-
penses and enable the management to
increase development work on the
upper levels with reasonable pros
pect of disclosing much ore of a better
grade.
