Morning lead mine sale shifts ownership to American Smelting
Control of the Morning lead mine at Mullan near here transfers to the American Smelting and Refining company, giving the combine control of most U S lead output. The Coeur d Alene region supplies about four fifths of the nation s iron output, while four military dollars are paid for the property. The Federal company now controls nearly all Coeur d Alene lead ore, with only a few mines remaining under other ownership. The Morning mine, discovered in 1885, operated by a 2 mile tunnel, produced over 1.5 million dollars in a year and may sustain production for a decade. The transfer follows long ownership changes and the region s mining power dynamics.
