MINE To TREBLE
MILL CAPACITY

Standard Silver.Lead Company
Is increasing the capacity Of its
mill at the old Gould property in
the Marysville district near Hell.
ena, Mont, to 100 tons a day.
Since late September while devel.
opment has been under way the
company has been testing the ore
with a pilot mill having a capac.
ity of IS tons a day. This mill has
recovered coarse table and flota.
ton concentrates.
Operating with this pilot mill,
the company from end Of Septem-
ber to middle of April has shipped
$4,000 of gold-Silver concentrates
to the East Helena Smelter of
American Smelling & Refining Co.
The new mill will use tables and
flotation cells for recovering most
of the gold and silver, with a cy.
anide department added for treat
ing the tailings from the concen-
trating department.
AS in many gold mines, the ore
in the Gould property is Spotty
and difficult to sample accurately,
owing to free gold in it. During
recent weeks the mill heads have
averaged u ounce gold and "a
ounces silver a ton.
The company has two years ore
supply blocked out for the new
mill. The new mill is expected to
be in operation early this summer.

PRODUCTION Up

California crude oil production
was estimated at 493,30O barrels
per day during the week ended
May IL, compared with the pre-
vious weeks estimate of 473,700
barrels.
Part of the upturn was attrib-
uted to Kettleman Hills which
stepped UP the $4,000 daily,
against $500 for the previous
week. This gain was due to new
competitions which included Union
Oil Co.'s Ameriada-King No. 5,
completed May 8 for 10000 bar
relS and a 1,50O-barrel producer
for Kenda.
Important increases also were

BUSINESS STILL
HOLDS WELL
ABOVE 1888

In its weekly summary of tn
general business situation, tn
Standard Statistics Company, o
New York, currently comment
as follows:
Further evidences Of sea
SOnal recession in various buSl-
ness lines have been recorded
this week, and the tentative
estimate Of the Standard Sta
tisticS Company industrial pro-
ductiOn index for May has
been placed slightly below the
spring peak figure for April.
"While it is indicated that
business totals win recede grad
ually not only during the cur
rent month but probably also
throughout June and July, &C
Hvity In the majority Of in
dustrial lines remains SubStan-
TALLY above that of a year ago.
VIRTUALLY all consumer goods
industries are operating cur
rently at q somewhat reduced
rate. Particularly is this true
Of textile lines, although de-
mand throughout retail trade
has moderated during recent
weeks. While such buying is
extremely sensitive to prOspec-
tive price changes, present in
ventOrieS appear somewhat
large and may tend to prOlOng
the normal spring recession in
these lines.
Among the heavier lines,
similar receding tendencies are
beginning to be noted in auto
mobiles and lumber. On the
other hand, steel operations
have reached q new spring
high point as consumers take
advantage Of price protection
to cover forward needs. The
continued favorable level of
electric power output and mer-
chandise car lOadings reflect
the fact that numerous small
industries also are experiencing
. continued rising trend Of
activity.
"The fact that recessions are
not appearing in unison sug-
gests that declines in at least
some lines are being governed
mainly by circumstances pc
culiar to the industry. The
seasonal recession in the aggre-
gate, moreover, should be mod
Grated because of this factor"

COTTON PRICES
TURN EASIER

NEW YORK, May IA Q.N.SO.
Cotton futures displayed an cas-
ier tone today in desultory trad
ing.
Outside influences were mixed,
the easier tone in grains and the
slump of almost so points in
rubber being partially offset by
a rise of IS points in silver fu-
lures. Cotton at the opening was
off 6 to 8 points, chiefly because
of dip at Liverpool, where
equivalents were 3 to S points
below due prices. The list moved
up somewhat in later dealings,
but limited buying orders cur
tailed the rally.
Selling today came from the
South, spot firms and New Or
leans. There also was consider
able liquidation by professional
traders. Demand was limited to
routine price-fixing for the do
mestic and foreign trade and
scattered commission house pur-
chases.
Early in the afternoon, futures
were off 6 to 8 points. July
was off 8 at 11.20, October off
at 11.37, and December off at
11.49.
