. The establishment of a custom
‘mill in this province would give a
great stimulus to the mining in-
‘dustry.”” This statement was
made by Mr. Patrick J. Higgins,
well known mining man ofithe
Rossland and. New Hazelton ‘dis-
‘tricts.. “A large majority: of; the
.lead ores of this province contain
‘about equal percentages of lead
and zine. . This is especially. true
of: the New Hazelton district ore.
-where the average is 30 per cent
lead, about the same of zine, ‘and
with about. two ounces of silver
for each percentage, or unit: of
lead, :

‘This lead- zine ore 3 must frst be
sent to a mill or else one of! the
properties will be lost in the
smelting, Not only will one of
the properties be’ lost, but the
‘shipper. will be forced to pay a
‘penalty to the smelter for the
“trouble caused by the presence of

. _the foreign mineral,
“The average lead ore. of the

‘New Hazelton district runs thirty

per cent each of lead and zine,
and the loss suffered by the ship-

per. when the ore is ‘smelted _is|*
He loses the

“about $65 a ‘ton, :
value of the z ‘zine, he i is penalized
for the. presence of: the zine.in
‘the ore, and he pays a high rate
: for. the smel ting. becatise the lead
.. percentage is not high. All .this
‘loss would be obviated if. the: ore

: , were first sent to'a custom will. 1]

‘There the individual - properties

“would be extracted, and indjvid-.

“ually. ‘they: could” be amelted: at
ip very low cost...
ate “Fo

= es os $12 for extrasting: ead values

| Richmond’s

from: one: ten: of- ore’ running’ BOY"
per cent each of lead and zinc.

They penalize the shipper 50c for
each unit of. zine if. there are
more than eight units to the ton. |-
Therefore on this ore the shipper |
would be penalized $11 for the 22
units, In addition the zine’ ‘values
would be totally lost, which on
the ton. would mean a loss of
about. $48 according to the gov-

‘ernment euotation of eight’ cents

a pound for zine. :

“Now if that ton of ore had
been milled first the smelting
charge would have been reduced
from $12 to.about $6. This sav-
ing, together with the saving of
the penalty charge and the value
of ‘the zine retained,. would bring.
the cost down. $65,. Nor: would
that be the only added income
from the -ore,: for today where
the zinc is a total loss you-must

k| figure the cost of. mining, ‘thirty

per cent of which - is ‘to no avail.
There is the cost of packing the
ore to the water or rail, and also
the freight charge of $12.a ton

from New -Hazelton tothe: Trail |. a

smelter. All.of: these costs are
30 per cent dead losses, -
“The government could erect
a custom‘mill at’ Trail, or.some
place in:the, province which could
be easily reached, for about $50,-
000. It would be a ‘very good in-
vestment forthe government. as
the mining men of | the: province
would be willing to: pay: a‘ high
rate for their. work until.the mill
had been paid for. <The: amount

of work which would flow to. the 8

mill would :insure: a ‘good return
on the. investment... -Further-
more, hundreds .of mines would
‘be put. to. work which, are now
idle. The value of the ores treat-
ed would mean 2 great added in-
come to British Columbia, ; and
thousands of men would be given
employment. ”
