ON FREIGHT RATE

An Informal meeting of mine oper-
ators OF Utah. Idaho. Nevada and CAL
ifornia. with representatives OF tn,
yarious valley smelters was held ON
Tuesday afternoon of last week at tn.
Hotel Utah in Salt Lake City. The
object OF the conference was to discuss
a proposed meeting of the mining AMI
smelter men with freight representa-
tives OF the various Railroads tha.
transport ores to the smelters. with
a view to a readjustment OF freigh
rates on ores. particularly ores OF
low grade.
In the course of the discussion II was
the desire of the Railroads. and a view
expressed that in territory out side o
Utah the flat increase OF rs per cent
on low grade ores would mean the
shutting down OF numerous properties
mad curtailing IL operations of others
The meeting at which the ratequestion
will be gone into by Nevada. Idaho and
California operators was scheduled t.
take place at the Hotel Utah at 1890

The Combined Metals. Inc. controlled
by E. H. Snyder and associates OF
Salt Lake City. are operating the
Panaca group of mining claims owned
by Amalgamated Phoebe Mines s

long term lease.

production being taken out In the min
ing development work undertaken to
prove up the ever increasing ore re-
serves. Last month 1062.6 tons of ore
were dispatched to the American Smelt-
ing & Refining Company's plant at
Salt Lake City. the average analysis OF
this tonnage was gold ) SO; silver lO.2
ounces; lead 9.3 per cent. zine lis per
cent; iron l5.5 per cent; and insolub1e
25.4 per cent.
The ore is hoisted through the Green
sod shaft and hauled from the mine
bins to the Depot bins BY the Pioche
Pacific Railroad Company.
The income from these shipments up
to date has been more than sufficient to
pay the cost of operation and to prose-
cute the necessary development work
underground was done In 1919 between
the 5th and 9Th levels and this work
produced several car lots of rich silver
ore which helped materially to swell
the returns. received from the ore

1t is understood that plans have been
under consideration with view to the
construction of metallurgical plant tt
treat the complex ores from the bedd'
ing areas at or near Salt Lake City, but
owing to the application of the increas
ed freight rate the plans of the Com
pany may be changed and a smaller
metallurgical plant constructed a

n high railroad freight on the larg'
daily tonnage which will be handled a

mining Men TO MEET FOR

Resulting from the efforts of K. II.
Snyder, who is EXTENSIVELY interested.
with associates. in mining operations
in the Phoebe district. a meeting has
been called for next Saturday evening.
October ., at 1880 for the purpose of
a careful consideration of the new
freight rate that has been recently
imposed upon the already overburden-
ed ore producers of this and other sec
tions of the state.
All ore producers. leasers, shippers
and others interested are urged to at
tend this meeting. which will be held
in the club rooms. at the time stated.
of the Phoebe Commercial Club.
Mr.. Snyder. at this meeting, will ex-
plain the situation as IL exists and will
point out the advantages that may be
gained by interested persons through
the proper cooperation. Mr.. Snyder
has been in Salt Lake for the last few
months, and is in close touch with the
situation, in addition to which he
| is willing to pass along the informa-
/ tion gained to those who are victims
of this imposed freight increase. He
urges that all persons who are In
possession of data concerning profits
or losses. shipping charges, etc, bring
such data with them to the meeting
in order that constructive plan o.
policy be outlined with the view o
presenting plausible proposition t.
the railroad companies, in the hop'
that a better rate will be granted.

out in the following statement from
the Republican. dated Sept. 9Th which
is published at that place:
Ranger Caldwell is now skidding
the derrick on its fifteen acres north
side. Tom Williams. directing the
operations of the company. expects to
spud in a new hole next week. This
company is in the large production
area and is considered sure among the
north side operation, as fine property.
The misfortune of the company in los
ing it's first hole. through collapsed
casing at 100 feet. has delayed the
of oil. but does not otherwise alter the
situation. With resumption of getting
down quickly"
officers of this company say that
there are sufficient funds on hand to
finish the well and barring accidents
the work should be finished early in
December. The unanimous reports
from several Phoebe men who have
visited the scene of operation Is that
oil is a certainty.
This property is surrounded by five
large producing wells ranging from
500 to 1900 feet distant. The Magnolia
we'll which is 500 feet from tn,
Ranger Caldwell is expected to b'
brou hit in daily, it being 5000 fee
