Sale of Midnight Callahan Zinc Lead to the Federal Go
The Federal Mining and Smelting Company exercised its option on the Midnight claim by paying $25,000 to N Sheridan, securing ground central to the Morning group including the You Like and Evening veins. Jones & Baker of New York previously controlled the stock. Sheridan planned development via the Fannie Gremm tunnel and extensive underground work totaling about 6925 feet with costs around $200,000. The Midnight vein, apexed near the You Like, caused cross-vein work and raises to prove the section within Midnight, leading to a shift in ownership and plans for consolidation with the Federal group.

Lead price advances give cheering outlook for mines
Lead has risen 70 cents to 4.90 per pound over two weeks with expectations of further gains. Surplus stocks are nearly exhausted and demand remains strong across sectors. Mexican lead exports to Europe rise as European demand outpaces American after duties. New York reports show no orders beyond April delivery, signaling anticipated price rises. Major mines like Tamarack and Hunter stay active, and the rise could trigger idle mines to resume production and spur development.
