Ernst of Seattle, sec- | retary-treasurer of the Rufus Silver-Lead Mines, who have taken over the property for the purpose of developing it. They brought in a quantity of equipment and supplies and have se- c.ir.da warehouse in Stewart in which to store company goods while they are waiting to be moved up the hill. Included in the supplies is a complete assay plant which will be taken to the property. This will enable them to keep an aceurate cheek every day on the result of mining op- irations. The Rufus group consists of tijiht claims which are considered as among the best of the i-pper Bear section. A large number of ore exposures have been traced, and wor's this summer fill consist largely of thoroughly I respecting these. Some of the ighcBt grade silver-lead ore on| isplay in Stewart comes from his property. A substantial amp is to be built at once and GOLD ORE ON ! TEXAS CREEK Henry Hummel, manager of the Texas Creek Comstock property, created more than a passing flurry of interest early this week in Stewart when he exhibited what is undoubtedly the finest specimen of high-grade ore ever shown in the camp. The piece is nearly the size of your hand and consists of galena in a quartz gangue, but with streaks and nuggets of free gold scattered all through it. Henry admits it is a piece of float, but in the company's \ office in Hyder is a large collec- t on of samples taken from in place on the claims, and many of these show identically the same; character and quartz matrix. The two engineers who have been on the ground tell him that gold-galena ore is apt to occur in any of the shoots where the cross fissures cut through thei. main reins. To date there have been 14 galena showings found on the property, but little work has HON. JOHN OLIVER Premier of the Province, Defeated in This Election.

J. Conway. Local residents had become acclimitized to these ex- jpressions of quadrennial mad- , ness and some of them talked j back to the speakers, which made more interest for those who went there to be entertained Before this paper is read, the election will be over and everyone will again have his shoulder te the wheel of progress for Portland Canal mine development. But in regard to the meeting: It was good. E. J.

No Advertising Accepted for First Page FIXING THE PRICE OF LEAD CRITICISED though it often is, we are disposed to think that the fixed lead price of the American Smelting & Refining Co. is, on the whole, a goon thing. As most of our readars know, this price is fixed by that company from time to time according to variations in supply and demand, and the figure is used as a basis of settlement for all lead-bearing material bought by that company for smelting. It is also used for _ large part of the lead that is sold by the company, on contract, to consumers, though, in selling, the prices quoted in Mining Journal-Press are frequently the basis of settlement, and a considerable business, chiefly in individual sales of small lots, is done at the best brice that can be obtained. But in times of soarcity the Smelting company has shown a commendable desire to prevent a runaway market and has sold such lead as it had available, at its fixed price, even when high premiums might have been obtained for small lots by breaking away from its policy. Now, with lead prices declining, it will be noticed that the A. S. & R. fixed price is somewhat above that for which lead can be obtained from some sellers. The policy 10c. per lb.; in fact, the price might have gone above that of copper. And then, in April, the price would have dropped three or four cents in a week. This would have been a bad condition, for with the excessive prices, production would have been unduly stimulated and consumers would not only have been obliged to make violent changes in their prices for finished lead products, but would have probably have turned to substitutes where possible. Then, with the weakening in the market, the stage would be set for a reaction. The idea behind the fixed price is, of course, to make conditions more agreeable for ths A. S. & R; to prevent, so far as possible, the forced reception of a large amount of lead-bearing material at fancy prices, foilowed by aale of the lead a month or so later, after it has been smelted and refined, at a loss at greatly depressed prices. But this moderate amount of price fixing, like that of the U. S. Steel Corpor. ation, we believe to be for the good of the industry. It has none of the evils of a complete and country-wide price-fixing policy from which we suffered during and immediately after the world war.���Engineering and Mining Journal-Press.
