WENIGER SEEMS WINNER
OF BLACK BEAR CONTROL

SHARES-PRESlDENT HA-
CAMS LETTER.

AS the authorized representative of
majority of the stockholders of the
Black Bear Mines company, Sheriff r.
e. Weniger, stakeholder and director.
has called a meeting OF the stockhold-
ers of the company in this city on
August 3. This action is taken as a
result of a letter mailed to the stock
holders a few weeks ago, in which he
charged the affairs of the company
had been mismanaged and the inter-
ests of the stockholders disregarded
through the domineering influence Of
Peter Bernier, director and largest
stoclholder with the cooperation of
C. A. Hagan, president, and Otto Grice,
director This letter seems to have
found the stockholders generally ripe
for revolt for Mr. Wenger stated yes
terday that in response TO his appeal
he and his friends would go into the
meeting with stock and proxies repre-
senting more than 100000 shares out
of a total issued of 100000 A large
amount of Black Bear stock is held in
Wallace and vicinity. and as signif-
cant of the attitude of those who are
most intimate with Black Bear man
agement Mr.. Wcniscr stated that lie
either has the proxies or the assur-
ance of support of all of these except
Mr.. Bernier. Mr.. Weniger and Dennis
Goggin a Black Bear stakeholder and
former director of the company re-
turned this week from Colfax, Mos

Rotary treasurer and William f.. New

cured bond and lease running for
five years on the Silverado and oper-
ations on the property Will begin at

ton. The bond and lease covers all
property and equipment of the Silver-
ado company which includes % unpat-

acres OF land joining the mining
claims, a flotation mill of 100 tons ca
pacity, 7-drill compressor, well equip

Plans of Company
As explained by Nit Newton, tine
present main tunnel, which is 1900
feet in length and extends to the Po-
Iaris vein, will be extended 800 feet,
Or whatever distance is necessary, to
the Yankee Boy vein. Mr.. Newton
was for five years manager of the
Yankee Boy and was instrumental in
that property for the sun
shine Mining company, which is now
operating it on a profitable basis. His
with the Yankee Boy nat
rally led Mr.. Newton to give much
attention to what is commonly called
he dry ore belt and the relative posi-
ion of the veins that traverse it. His
conclusion is that the vein now expos
d on the Silverado, the Chester west
# the Silverado, and the Nellie east,
re on the Polars vein. and that the
Yankee Boy vein will be found on the
;ilverado some 300 feet further south. |
t is on this theory that the develop
nent of the property will proceed.

CLOSES A CONTRACT
WITH ANACONDA CO.
TERMS INSURE PROFIT
Best Ore Showing Ever On
S6O--Start Crosscutting on
1OOO--Mill improvements

THE SUCCESS Mining company
has closed "a contract with the
Anaconda Copper Mining COM
pany for the sale of its entire
zinc output and shipments have al
ready started to the electrolytic zinc
reduction plant at Great Falls. Mont
This announcement was made this
week by A.. C. Kennedy. general man
ager of the Success company. who eN-
pressed much satisfaction over the
contamination of the contract Since
the resumption of production at the
Success mine inability to dispose of
the zinc product prodtably has been
a serious handicap. and as conse-
quence there has been a large and
steadily growing accumulation of zinc
concentrates, estimated at $500 tons.
While the product could have been
disposed of to zinc smelters in the
middle west, the cost of freight and
treatment would reduce the profit to
such narrow margin that the man
agement, rather than ship under that
condition, decided to store the zinc
orable opportunity to dispose of it,
The wisdom of this course was DEM
onstrated last week. when representa-
tives of the Anaconda company visited
Wallace and entered into an agree
ment with Mr. Kennedy for the stock
on hand and the regular zinc output
.of the mine The short freight haul
to the Great Falls plant, together with
Anaconda's modern treatment facil-
ties, enable the company TO offer much
more favorable terms for Occur
.dAlene zinc than distant shelters
The terms Of the Success contract
have not been made public. but they
are on a basis that will return the
Success company a very satisfactory
profit. The zinc concentrates now on
hand viii average less than 40 per
cent Now that a market has been
secured for zinc, it will be TO the adj
vantage of both the Success company
and the Anaconda to raise the grade,
which will be accomplished largely by
making a closer recovery of the zinc

HIGHER LEAD PRICE
SAYS FRANK MSMITH
AN OPTIMISTIC VIEW
Thinks Upward Movement
Will Continue--WilI Attend
Reno Silver Conference

TRANK NJ. Smith director of the
r Bunker Hill smelter, in spite of
the recent rapid decline in the
price, takes an optimistic view
of the lead situation. He was in Wal
lace last Monday. having remained
over a day after the visit of the SpO-
kane engineers, and it was on that
date that the price of lead recorded
an advance from &c to 6.25c Com
menting on the rise Mr.. Smith said
that he had felt that when lead drop
ped to &c the bottom had been reach
ed and that the next movement would
be upward. At that figure foreign
lead had been effectually shut out of
the American market which he I'M
derstood was the purpose in the re-
cent rapid reduction in the price The
foreign market for lead is now some
what stronger, to which Mr.. Smith at
tributed the upward movement Of the
domestic price. He also said that since
the outlook for a permanent adjust
ment of the disturbed condition in
Europe now seemed brighter, he OK
pected to see the price of lead con-
tinue TO move upward until it reach
ed the former level of &c and possibly
7lac Further, he said that if agree
ments are reached that will start the
wheels of industry in Europe the de-
mand for lead over there will absorb I
the foreign product and in that event
he would expect to see the price of
lead within a year advance to Sc or &c /
for there is no production of lead /
in the United States even now. and /
in Europe would oper- /
ate to increase consumption in this T
Mr.. Smith said that as per /
cent of the lead produced in this coun-
try is used in the manufacture Of

Public Service
"HE REPORT of the commission

THE REPORT of the commission
representing the Idaho bureau
of mines and geology, being "a
Preliminary Study of Certain
Reported Platinum Occurrences Near
Occur d'Alene. Idaho" was given TO
the public last Monday by Dr. Francis
A. Thomson, secretary of the state
bureau who submitted it to the Coem
d'Alene chamber of commerce with
appropriate comment The investiga-
ton was undertaken purely IN the in
terest of the public, and particularly
in the interest of the people of Occur
d'Alene City If the platinum was
there as claimed, the people of the
state should know the facts from
dependable source, for it would be
matter of the highest Importance and
value to the state. On the other hand.
if the reports of rich platinum depos-
its are false, then it is even more inn
portant that the public should know
it and thus be protected against fraud
ulent promotions and to establish a
basis for punishment of those guilty
of the fraud. The report of the com
mission has been received by the
Miner. Every line bears evidence that
the gentlemen making the investiga-
ton, every one of whom is well known
and has the highest personal and pro-
fessional standing, were actuated sole
ly by desire to make the nvestiga-
ton absolutely fair and to compile a
report strictly in accordance with the
facts as found 1t is not surprising. ,
therefore. to those who have intelli- /
gently kept in touch with the situa-
ton that the report has completely F
exploded the platinum boom down by
the lake, but it is nevertheless unfor- T
tunate that many innocent people We're
victimized by the fraudulent repre-
sensations of those who have for years
been Fleeing the public by the same
identical methods. It is hoped that
this report will be the means of bring
ing them within the meshes of the I.
law, for certainly they should not be
permitted to practice the same crook 4,
ed methods in other fields
Why Investigation Made.
The report explains that the inves- 9
tgation was undertaken, first be-
cause the United States is dependent q
upon foreign countries for its supply ]
of platinum, from which it is evident {
that if the mineral existed as claimed f
near Occur d'Alene it would be a mat t
ter of the greatest Importance to the c
nation and to the state of Idaho; sec C
ond, wide publicity had been given to il
the alleged discovery, and it was ne e
cessary for the public to know the
truth third, charges had been made
by G. r. Rogers, A. H. Moe, J. S. e
Green and others that the state bureau C
of mines and geology had refused to S
make an investigation to get the facts; il
and finally it was known that conflict il
ing reports had been made by assay p
ers and reputed assayers to whom Y
had been submitted, the as s
sayers of reputation invariably find Ii
