Minlrg Zinc Off.
The iuc or on in tho iiiIiioh of tbo
Kooky mount iaiurt were for a goner,

HUlllcleutly productive of zlno to

7.1 no valiicH. Leadvillo bad a zlno
producing urea that wiih practically
noglootod prior to live yearn ago.
Tbo zlno oreH of litdvlllo wore
found in Hitch iiiiihhIvo and compact
form that they concentrated a greater
bulk per 100 ton of crude ore than
did tb 7.1 no doponltH of Mltwouri but
tbo Leadvlllo zlno whh of au iwuy

of tbo MlHOtiri jack. Tho LcHdvlllo
produce received valuo only for
tho zinc in the host ziuc orea, atid
tbo gold and silver values wero either
lnt or iippropriatod by tho HtnoItcrH.
In other hccUoiih of tho western
mountain states, a sharp penalty was
imposed on ores Hold for their gold,
silver and lead values, when carry
ing in oro than ton per cout ziuc,
because of tho refractory nature of
such ores wlioti treated in lead-oro
smelters. It Ih understood that tbo
American Smelting company Iiuh
just inauguarted a more favorablo
policy toward load-silver ores con
taining an excess of ziuc, and that
tho penalty Iiuh not only boon ro
moved from such ores, but that pay
ment will bo he; oaf tor made for tho
zinc as well iih for tho other inotals
in the ores. TIiIh now situation has
boon tbo hopo of miners hIiico mining

tbo improved aspoct of affairs will
cause many loug-nogloctod zinc-load
bolts to hocomo very active and very
profitable. Journal for Investors.
