N As the condition of the roads continues to improve, ores are now becoming more plentiful. There will soon be a general movement of the accumulated product from the camps and an abundant supply for the smelters. During the week the Pennsylvania smelter "blew in" another stack of 100 tons capacity, as the result of the increased ore supply. The Germania has also started up its two copper furnaces, which are now turning out casting copper, the capacity being twelve tons of copper per day. The ore receipts of the week were of the value of $107,773, against $72,133 the previous week. The base bullion output of the smelters was $61,582; Ontario and Daly silver, $50,102; cyanides, miscellaneous, $2700; total bullion output, $124,804, against $146,536 the previous week. The base bullion output of the Salt Lake smelters was as follows: Pennsylvania, $19,732; Germania, $26,500; Hanauer, $15,950. Ore purchases were reported as follows: Bamberger & McMillan, $23,623; Germania, $33,900; McCornick & Co., 0. $39,050; Commercial National bank, $10,-42- 0; $11,-20- Silver. ced equi-distantly-spa- es w, - Co-Tena- nt step-by-st- ep co-tena- Ore-dock- e, idler-pulle- ys Ore-Crush- er. nt The price of silver is again advancing and conditions indicate that a higher range will prevail for some time to come. The New York Financial Record has this to say concerning the demand for silver: "The stock of silver available is very small, while the demand Is large at both home and abroad, particularly for foreign account. There has been a most persistent effort to keep the price down, but the quotations are gradually advancing, and we should not be surprised to see very much higher prices before the end of June." Following were the fluctuations during the week: Thursday Friday Saturday 67?'vC Monday 67c Tuesday fi77c Wednesday 67c 68c 68c Lead. Lead has advanced to $3, at which point it remained during the week. Following is the Engineering and Mining Journals review of the lead market: "At last the low prices which have existed for some time have, attracted some attention, and there has been a large and satisfactory business doing at somewhat higher rates. Some lead for prompt delivery has been sold at $3.05, but for May and June shipment this price has been refused, and has been asked. The West also $3.07 reports large transactions at rising prices, and the St. Louis market is above the parity of ours. The spring weather has evidently influenced work, and pipe manufacturers out-of-do- or are exceedingly busy." The Cripple Creek Mail, explaining why so many properties are Idle, says: "It Is not safe or wise for the owners of unpatented claims to announce a strike or work them after it has been made. To do so is to invite a lot of human cormorants and devil-fis- h to swoop down on you and take away what you worked hard and long for. The district is crowded with scoundrels who are here just for that purpose, and many of them are backed in their nefarious work by men enjoying good standing and wealth. Men who have owned and worked mines here for two or four years have lost them by the thieving trickery of men who have been here but a few weeks. The results of the operations of these scoundrels na-be seen occasionally in our report of mineral adverses filed." Go to Harris & Wilson For Fire Life and Accident insurance.
