have agreed to work for stock, and it is
probable they will take a contract.

SUCCESS MAKES LARGE
LEAD ZINC SHIPMENTS
LARGE ORE RESERVES AND MILL
RUNNING FULL TIME
NEW DRY HOUSE.

With large bodies ore opened up
and productive on three levels. the
mill running full time and ore ship
ments, both lead and zinc going for
ward AT rapid rate. the Success
mine which a year ago was heralded
as come back" may be said to
have arrived 1t was only about
year and half ago that the new
Success ore body was discovered on
the 700 or main tunnel level and its
development created "a real sensation.
The old Success ore body had been
mined to the 1900 shaft level. or 900
feet below the new discovery. and
the question was would the new ore
shoot extend to a corresponding depth.
This question is being steadily an
swered in the Affirmative. On the
$50 level. 100 below the 700 the same
ore shoot was found and its explora-
ton proved it to he larger and OF
even better grade than on the level
above Another ore shoot was also
found on this level which had been
overturned ny Ailt tOll nti lllditAEt-
ment Development of the $50 was
followed by exploratory work on the
1000 level, 40 feet deeper, and where
the second shoot found on the $50
was found increased in size and which
is now believed to be identical with
the ore exposed on the 400 level just
before the mine closed down several !
one discovered on the 700. will soon |
be reached on this level and is ex-
pected to be fully up to the standard |
fixed on the levels above. Motor
troubles have delayed unwatering the |
shaft. but this will soon he overcome
when the work of opening up the ore
on the levels below will proceed.
Shipments of Lead and Zinc.
The Success mill is running full time
now and shipments of both lead and
zinc concentrates are going to the
shelters at rapid rate Last month the
shipped II carloads of lead
silver concentrates and II carloads of
zinc, the latter being taken from the
large stock of zinc concentrates ac-
cumulated prior 20 the contract for the
purchase of the zinc product by the
Anaconda company. An even better
record of shipments is being made
this month. Yesterday the seventh car
Of lead concentrates was being loaded,
and so FAR twenty cars of zinc have
been shipped. This in spite of the
fact the mill was shut down a week
this month for repairs. The company
is making a very satisfactory profit

MINING OUTLOOK GOOD
LEADS FINE POSITION
LOCAL ZINC MINING TO GET I'M
PETUS-REcoRD EXPORTS
OF SILVER.

The demand for lead is strong and
production hardly keeps pace with
consumption, while the outlook for
even better conditions is decidedly ia
vorable. In this situation it is rather
difficult to understand why there is
not more active interest in the de-
velopment of new lead mines in this
district. and the only explanation
seems to be the uncertainty due to the
unsettled condition in Europe, The
situation over there is at least more
hopeful, and this is reflected by a
general strengthening of the metal
markets. Locally the regular produc-
ing mines are making their usual out
put except Hecla, which is rapidly
pushing work on its new plant and ex-
poets to be productive by the first of
the year. The only bad feature of the
local situation is the absence of large
new development enterprises, but this
may be expected to change with a
continuation of the present favorable
outlook The entranre of the Ana
conda company into the Occur d'Alenes
is expected to give an impetus to zinc
production, which is a matter of the
highest importance to the district. The
preliminary steps in organization of
silver export association also tends to
give a more cheering outlook for min
ing in the Occur d'Alenes. Yesterday
a report from New York stated that
silver purchases for export were the
largest on record, which is taken to
mean that foreign silver buyers an
ticipate an advance as a result of the
organization of the silver producers of
North and South America. In its re-
view of the metal markets in the issue
of September Is the Engineering and

l"HE STRIKE on the shaft level
Of the Western Union. reported
in the Miner of last week, is
proving fully as important as in
Dictated at that time. The published
account of the strike was officially
confirmed the following day by Ben
L. Collins manager of the Western
Union. in a letter issued to the stock
holders, under date of September 10.
After stating that having cut two fis-
sures in prosecuting 20 feet south
from the bottom Of the shaft, Mr. Col
Inns
Five Feet of Ore.
I'VE started to drift east on the
center fssure and followed it for 100
feet to a point where it intersected
the first fissure cut At this point the
ore began to show along the contact
it being about inches in width Since
striking the ore we have followed the
ledge "a feet with the Certifying re-
suit that it has wdened to more than
feet and is all good milling ore with
the high grade scattered throughout
the entire width. This morning the
shipping ore is concentrating along
the tale seam in real commercial guam
titles and every round shows gradual
improvement both in milling and ship
ping ore The formation is Burke
quartzite and every condition is the
best have ever seen. It is almost
certain that we are Just coming into
the west end of the ore from which
shipments were made OH the upper
level"
SO confident was Mr.. Collins that the
strike would prove to be the most i'm
poitant in the history of the mine and
insure its future as a producer that
he closed his letter by advising the
stockholders to sit tight. Don't sell.

was .he tip he gave the stockholders,
and from the information received
from the mine yesterday is was sound
advice
Shipments Cover Expenses.
Upon his return from the Western
Union yesterday afternoon, Mr.. Col
Inns stated that the ore shoot. which
had been followed about 60 feet, had
steadily improved. there being two
strong shoots of practically clean high
grade ore on either wall with lower I
grade ore between. \ shipment of
this ore viii be made next week. and /
Mr. Collins authorized the statement /
that shipments of ore now being re- |
moved in extending the drift will more /
than cover all operating expenses.

Lead.

"Sales of lead have been excellent.
In both New York and st. Louis de-
mand was active and the buying wave
for several weeks continues unabated.
AS high as 6.75c was realized in st.
Louis but most of the sales fall in
the range of $40 to 6.75c. Supplies of
spot metal are scarce in New York and
forward lead is also none too easy.
Today a price of &c per ID. was paid
for a fair sized lot of New York lead
for November shipment. Stocks in
the hands of producers are equivalent
to about one weeks production. Con-
sumption of lead by storage battery
manufacturers is better
Lead is in good demand in Europe.
Spanish production has decreased ow-
ing, perhaps, TO the leanness of the
ore handled and perhaps to labor
troubles. Australian production has
been affected by a fire in one of the
principal lead mines on that CONT
nent. Mexican output is running close
to 10000 tons per month with most
of it going abroad. The strike of
dock workers in London has made it
difficult to provide satisfactory trans
portation for the metal as the ships
do not like to dock there

Reconstruction Plans and Insurance.
After briefly referring to the fire, it's
origin and extent Mr.. Hanley says:
THE plant was insured for 1891 900 90,
all of which has been paid by the insur-
ers. This sum will not replace the
plant which is now under construc-
lion, as we are preparing to replace
set of wood frame buildings with
steel frame and concrete, and have,
finally, a plant as nearly fre-proof as
possible.
1t is difficult to set an exact date
for resumption of production but from
present indications. we hope to be able
to resume mining before January
first next
IN addition to our fire insurance,
we carried a one reillion dollar Use
and Occupancy policy, which is in
tended to protect MS against loss of
profits to that amount over period
of a year"
