Spokane investors led by Jay P. Graves explore nitrate extraction on Home Builder properties near Coeur d Alene Idaho with a proposed plant in Spokane, requiring several hundred thousand dollars for a 10 000 pound daily ammonia unit and a matching power facility.

Utah Metal Mines Developing Copper
The annual report to stockholders shows copper ore development at the Utah Metal Mines in Bing ham canyon with high grade ore expected. Lead prices depressed in September and October last year curtailed production at the Metal and Tunnel company. A disputed claim with a neighboring mine is not operating this portion of ground, with amicable adjustment anticipated next year. Production figures compare 1917 to 1916 in ounces and copper pounds.
