Metal Quotations
Eastern Markets

Silver IL lower. The price is ap-
controlled by the large buy
ing interests. The market should i'm
prove.
Lead is advancing in price and con-
tinues In strong demand: but little
lead could be obtained at any time dur
ing the week under 8 cents. Spot lead
is almost unobtainable in any quantity
and even small lots can be had only at
an advance of 25 cents over the quoted
market. The market is bullish and the
increased production which is expected
will probably be absorbed. Inclement
weather and the influenza epidemic
prevented the February production
from being increased to satisfy the
demand
Copper is still low in price but should
improve it's market position in the near
future. The foreign situation is show
ing signs OF Improvement and although
no great domestic demand is apparent
supplies are being absorbed.
Zinc is quiet at a good price. with nc
signs of great fluctuations.
Tungsten ores are subject to nom
inal market and the western industr!
is dead
Cadmium is quoted at s14s pc
pound.
Manganese II active with increase
domestic production. Prices averag

BLACK METAL MINE MAKES
ANOTHER RICH STRIKE

Last Sunday the Black Metal Mining I
Company struck . thres-foot ledge OF
high grade carbonate ore In the east
stops adjacent to the 3oe-foot level
A raise run by the oid-timers had mar
rowly misssd this ore, which lies alonx
the north and south break. and the face
of the raise was but . few feet away
from the ore when they quit. However.
q careful study Of the geological con-
ditions led the management to resume
this work, and the recent strike was
made. Although II II early yet to fore
cast the extent Of the ore. the face at
the present time shows over three feet
of high-grad carbonate ore.
These shoots Of rich ore are An I'm
msnss help In enriching the grade OF
nuxing ore shipped. and although the
tonnage found In these rich deposits II
naturally not great. the richness OF the
ore contained makes . satisfactory In
crease In the settlements.
The recent Improvement In the sur
face equipment. which included new
cylinder, crank shaft. piston and con-
necting rod complete, makes almost q
new engine Of the Fairbanks-Morse
sixty horsepower engine. This engine
supplies power for the compressor. the
mine hoist being run by compressed
air. The complete installation IL now
running smoothly and the management
does not anticipate any further delays
on account Of machinery breakdowns
Underground conditions at the pres.
ent time are more than satisfactory
At least $500 tons Of ore lie broken II
the slopes and chutes ready for hoist
ing. and this reserve IL being added t.
every day. An average amount of q
least eighty tons Of ore Is hoiste'
daily. which tonnage will be increase'
with better weather conditions.

Despite its immense former produ
