Smelters Keep Equal Rates Amid Denied Cuts
The Nelson and Trail smelters maintained the $15 per ton rate for ore with 20 percent lead or more and $11 for lower lead content, denying reports of further cuts. Statements from J J Campbell and W H Aldridge refute rumors, noting rates have been in effect since January 1. A London and British Columbia inquiry echoed that miners received the reductions as published. The last chance claims and Everett contracts were clarified as unaltered, with the Footman Granite mine confirming year‑start reductions. Meanwhile Theodore Roosevelt Jr underwent pneumonia treatment at Groton School, with his condition described as reasonably comfortable and Mrs Roosevelt expected to travel from Boston.
