Mining Outlook Shows Improvement in Coeur d Alene District
The mining outlook in the Coeur d'Alene district improves as lead prices dip to five and a half cents. Mines mostly stay open, smelters expand ore storage, and costs are targeted for cuts to sustain profitable production. Freight rate relief and lumber price drops aid the shift, while powder and steel prices edge downward. European deflation looms as a restraint on metal prices, with zinc imports nearing profitability.

Big Reduction in Ore Freight Rates Proposed by Railroads
Reductions in ore freight charges from Coeur d Alene district points to East Helena Montana and Northport Washington are being prepared for Interstate Commerce Commission review. Proposals set new per ton rates tied to ore value from $30 to $4.50 depending on value, with current rates shown for comparison. If approved, district miners and shippers including Hercules Tam at Northport and East Helena A S & R interests would see substantial lower costs, spurring development and production while bullion rates to the Atlantic coast may also fall later. The Northern Pacific and Great Northern initiated the move to sustain ore shipments and mine profitability amid high existing rates.
