Ivan was the largest lead producer,
followed by the Hercules, Hecla, and
Morning. Considerable lead was pro-
duced by the Tamarack & Custer,
Gold Hunter, Consolidated Interstate
Callahan, Caledonia, Sierra Nevada,
and Last Chance, at Wardner. OF the
total lead, the Occur d'Alene district
produced about 286,O0O, 900 pounds. In
other districts of the state large ton
nages of lead ore and concentrate
came from the Idaho Continental,
Pittsburg-Idaho, Latest Out, and In
dependence mines, near Ketchum, in
Blaine county. The Greenhill Cleve-'
land, formerly a large producer of
both lead and zinc, was closed in the
early part Of the year. Toward the
end of the year shipments from the
Caledonia mine, near Wardner, were
decidedly decreased. A notable pro-
duction, however, came from both the
Hecla and the Tamarack and Custer
properties.
The mine output of recoverable zinc
in Idaho. decreased from 70, 1876
pounds in 1917 to approximately A.
100000 pounds in 1918. This de-
creac of over 80, 900 pounds was
due largely to increased expenses and
the lower price of smelter. One of
the main decreases was made by the
largest zinc producer in the state, the
Consolidated Interstate Callahan which
was treating a large tonnage of ac-
cumulated tailings during the third
quarter of the year, while develop
ment was progressing in the mine.
The Success mine, which was formerly
a large zinc producer, shipped only
about one-fourth of it's former out !
put. Other zinc shipments were made
the Morning, Frisco, Hercules,
and Hecla. The Douglas property,
one Pine Creek, was not as productive
formerly on account of difficulty
n transporting the ore, and the Sur
prise Consolidated, in the same dis
was idle. Considerable ship
nents of zinc ore came from the
adjoining the In /
;~erstate Callahan, and in Blaine coun-
y shipments were made from the II
North Star and the Kusa property. II
