TALK FREIGHT RATES
At BOARD MEETING
BUSINESS MEN HEAR DETAILS
OF LONG AND SHORT HAUL
BATTLE.

With freight rates. or alleged dis
elimination by the railroads against
interior points, the chief topic of dis
cussion, the board Of trade held an in
teresting session Tuesday night and
gave close attention to J. A. Ford, sec
rotary of the Spokane chamber of
commerce, and Roy Gill. of the Holley-
Mason company, as they told of the
fight now being waged against the
long and short haul.
a large number of the business men
of the city attended the session, which
was preceded by a supper at the Ban
Quet restaurant. Donald A. Callahan,
chairman of the board of trade, pre-
sided at the meeting Prior to the
freight rate discussion the board heard
reports from committees one of which
reported that it had been definitely
decided to make no charge for tourists
at the park this summer and that the
board would join with the council and
business men in general in meeting
the expense of a Waterman at the
park. Secretary William Klieman pre-
scented several messages from the Ida
no delegation in congress in reply to
the resolution forwarded by the board
of trade protesting against a revision
of the mining laws. These messages
are givenin another column of this
issue of the Miner
Reviews Freight Rates.
In taking up the rate question Mr..
Ford reviewed the 3O-year fight made
by inland points against the practice
of the railroads in charging interior
cities the coast rate and back haul in
addition. He cited how the fight had
been practically won but with such
exceptions that fruits of the victory
had never been realized and that now
the fight was on again by reason of
the railroads seeking to abrogate the
rulings made years ago. He quoted
specific instances and gave figures to
show how the rates were applied and
where the differences affected the peo-
pie of this district.
The fight is now being carried on by
the intermediate Rate association.

mountain territory, the Idaho repre-

Mr.. Gill, vice president of the traffic (
bureau of the Spokane chamber of
commerce, followed Mr.. Ford and gave
further detailed instances of the injus-
tice done by the long and short haul
measures and spoke of the argument
used by the railroads on the water
question.
Chairman Callahan assured the Wis
itors that the members of the local
board of trade would give every assist
ance possible in the fight.
The chairman announced that the |
board was planning for another big |
meeting soon when the good roads |

LOWER FREIGHT RATES
WILL INCREASE TONNAGE
PRESENT HIGH RATES cURTAIL
OUTPUT OF IDAHO
MINES.

Mine operators of the Occur d'Alene
district are closely watching the out
come of the fight before the interstate
commerce commission in which a re-
duction of the freight rates on ore
shipments is sought. A full array of
facts relative to the condition of the
mining industry in this state has been
presented to the commission and
arguments are now under way show
ing the serious handicap carried by
the miners in the high freight rate
charge.
Representing seven of the inter-
mountain states. H. Prickett of Salt
Lake made the opening argument be-
fore the interstate commerce commits
sion. Give intermountain states
freight rates on ore as low as pre- war
rates and within a few months the
ore tonnage of western carriers will
increase 65 per cent over the ship
ments of 1921" Mr. Prickett stated to
the commission. He then presented
comprehensive exhibits showing in de-
tail how. metal production has de-
clined with the advance in freight
rates and showing further that ore
rates, even if reduced to the 1917 basis,
would still be high in comparison to
rates on other commodities.
Rates Retard Development.
Following argument by Mr.. Prickett
further facts were presented by A. G.
Mackenzie of Salt Lake, representing
the same group of states. Mr.. Mac
kenzie emphasized a point made by
Mr. Prickett that the inter- mountain
country wants to get ore rates back to
1914 level He submitted two extern
sive tabulations showing that other
costs. including wages, are now back
approximately to the 1913 level, that
wear being generally accepted as nor
NAL year, but that freight rates alone
are now way out of line. The freight
charges. he said. represented about p
per cent of the total cost of production.
and as long as that item remained
high. the industry must be retarded.
Mr.. Mackenzie introduced elaborate
exhibits showing tremendous falling
off of ore tonnage and production in
Idaho between 1913 and 1921. The ag-
pregate ore tonnage of Idaho in 1913
was 2.451,592 tons and last year was
1.149.626. Idaho produced relatively
more ore last year than any other
western state, but where Idaho had
sS4 producers in 1913 there were only
1913 last year and the total value of all
ores mined declined from S24149,O49
in 1913 to s15,2OS, 900 in 1921.
Other Costs Drop.
Statistics were cited for the several
states showing in every instance how
wages have dropped to approximately
the pre-war level; how other costs
have declined while freight rates
alone remain abnormal. Transporta-
tion costs enter so largely into the
costs of the mining industry he said |
that nothing like normal production
can he looked for until rates get back |
N nre-war level. One serious effect !
Of high freight rates has been to con-
fine mining to the higher grades OF
ore. which alone can be shipped at
nrofit under existing freight rates
Of this practice, he point
ed out. would work serious injury to
the industry generally. He said the /
railroads themselves would profit by
restoring pre-war rates

Silver and Gold.

The old Elkhorn mine ceased to OPP
crate in 1908 and had a record of pro-
ducing $14.O0O.OOO in gold and silver
At that time, owing to the low price Of
silver and inefficient milling, there
was no profit in working ore below 80
ounces in silver, and it is evident that
there was a low percentage of recOv-
cry from the ore that was worked.
The dump that is now being worked by
Mr.. Hewitt has an assay value of SIS
ounces in silver and O2 ounce in gold
per ton. A run of 10 days was made
by the Hewitt mill last October, dur
ing which 1880 tons were handled and
from which a recovery of 60 per cent
was made. The recovery was approx
imately 10000 ounces of silver in the
form of cyanide precipitate. assayng
5000 ounces of silver to the ton and 35
ounces in gold This product was

ounces of silver, the assay value of
this product being $50 ounces of silver

With this production under way
from the Yankee Boy the management

some months ago and are looked upon
as a valuable acquisition to the COM

Other Work Under Way.
With two regular shippers in the
Big Creek district considerable atten-
ton has been directed that way dur
ing the past year The Big Creek
Mining company has made a number
OF shipments during the past season
and has a well equipped concentration
handling the product of the mine.
Leasers operating the upper levels of
the Yankee Boy mine have made ship

high grade silver product, a 30-tOn car
showing 24O ounces of silver to the ton
going to the smelter last week from
the Gibson lease, while another leaser
shipped seven tons assaying S2S ounces
in silver.
Sterling Silver Advances.
A short distance south of the Yankee
Boy the Sterling Silver Mountain COM
pany is carrying on an interesting
piece of development work. A cross
cut tunnel has now been driven some
600 feet toward a strong surface show
ing from which values in silver and
lead were taken and the present work
will cut the vein at a depth of over 400
feet 1t is estimated that 200 feet
more will reach the ledge. This prop
erty has been under continuous devel-
opment for the past two years and the
work will continue steadily until the
vein is reached on this level. A heavy
flow of water was encountered Mon
dav. with a slight change in the for
nation which may prove the ieose 10
