He added that final returns had
not been filed until last week, when
reports were sent in from districts
in outlying towns. The districts,

geologist for the United States Geo
logical Survey, made, in its 22nd
annual report, detailed report on
the Elkhorn mine, at that time in
operation. His figures show that,
during the period from 1882 to 1900
the mine yielded s. ,438 ounces of
silver, $685. ounces of gold, and
1882, 784 pounds of lead. No report
is made on zinc recoveries, as at
that time penalties were added for
zinc.
Today, with improved metallurig-
zeal treatment processes the zinc is
recoverable. At the 2300-foot level
the Elkhorn ore body is reported
continuing downward. The Elkhorn
mine yielded ore assaying as high
as 5000 ounces of silver per ton.
20% lead and 15% zinc. Under pres
ent operations the year 1913 is ex-
pected to yield minerals equivalent
to previous year outputs.
The values contained in taiiings
now being shipped, once consid-
cred waste, now compare favorabIy
with the head values Of many mines
producing milling ores. Tailings
values as heretofore stated, now
commercial, show that the original
values of crude ore milled in Elk
horn were high For the past year
the Elkhorn tailings have repre-
sented the principal source OF silica
flux for the East Helena plant of
the American Smelling and Rein
ing Company, which company be-
sides smelling thousands of tons
during 1943 has stockpi1ed around
5000 tons for winter requirements.
approximately 10000 tons of lead
zinc tailings remain to be shipped
which tonnage should be able TIA
meet silica requirements of the
smelter for the next two years.

Block Leasing Practice

Block leasing in western min-
ing fields, which was considered to
have a clear road ahead and was
counted on to produce valuable
and substantial addition to the vital
metal supply for war industry, has
hit another snag and leaders of the
industry are frankly stumped, not
knowing Just what lies ahead.
Despite two federal court deci-
sions holding that mine lessees are
not employees of the lessor but in
dependent contractors, and despite
assurance from the Bureau of In
ternal Revenue that the decisions
would not be repealed, the Social
Security Board in Washington has
refused to accept the situation and

producers in terms of both man
power and materials. The point be-
yond which it is not considered
economic to encourage new produc-
ton is set at lie pound of zinc.
Through quotas assigned under the
premium price plan no mine which
is not in operation will be assigned
premium prices for metal produc-
ton in the B or c ranges. A mine
which cannot be opened for pro-
duction and produce profitably on
the basis of lie zinc cannot antici-
pate premium price payments over
and above this level.
To Respect Commitments
However, some exceptions will
be made in cases where definite
commitments have been made to
producers. Development under an
RFC loan is not considered to in
volve any commitment TO assign
ment of quotas in excess of lie TO
enable a mine, which has received
such a loan, to commence mining
operations on a profitable basis.
This matter will be the subject
of further review during the sec
ond quarter of 1914 in light of the
zinc and labor situation at that

Early day development carried
development and mining to the
2,3OO-foot level, from the original
Elkhorn inclined shaft, with mil
lions of dollars in lead, zinc and sill
yer produced
The past year and half has
seen complete and modern electrical
installation at the Sophia vertical
shaft, situated approximately $50
feet in the foot-wall dolomite of the
Ellkhorn ore body. While the old
workings followed one 35 degree
dipping commercial ore body, these
workings, according to survey, did
not penetrate by any prosecuting,
the recently developed ores WHICH
occur as replacement deposits in
the lime and dolomite. Present work
has explored ore bodies 10 to 20 feet
in thickness and containing values
in lead, zinc, and silver ores, suit
able for a milling program.
Occasional high grade crude ore
shipments have been made together
with continuous production of lead
zinc taiIings at the rate of one to
four Cotton cars per day. The latter
program has witnessed trucking
and railroad loading of materials
producing approximately 100000
pounds of lead and like amount of
zinc. On a per man basis of strateg-
ical minerals produced the Elkhorn
project has to its credit. during the
past year, a probable greater out
put than any project in the state.
This means that for its size,
Boulder and vicinity has, in COM
parison to other localities made a
tremendous direct contribution to
the war effort, in war materials and
critical and strategical minerals.
Tailings shipped have averaged APP
proximately 7 ounces of silver, 2.59o
lead, and 3.5%6 zinc with minor
amounts of gold per ton.
While Mckee has explored and
developed the EIkhorn property
through mine workings, Mastin
Taylor of Boulder, has been in
charge of the tailings project. Out
side of direct contribution to the
war effort, through metals pro-
duced, the Mckee and Taylor OPP
erations have created basic pay
rolls for the Boulder district and
contributed in a positive way to
the economic welfare of the com.
munity.
