Secretary Brush of American Smelting & Refining says Coeur d'Alenes miners cannot rival build plants due to a yearlong contract. Last year contracts were for 8,000 tons monthly, since May output rose to 10,000 tons, and next year contracts reach 12,000. All mines except one are contracted, the exception sending ore to the Pacific coast.
