The shippers of silver-cobalt ores receive no return for the nickel content, althoiifrh this metal forms an important constituent of the ore and is possibly, to some extent, s ived by the refiners. Plants have been established by the Coniapus Ueihictioa Company at Thorobl, and the Deloro Mining and Uechiction Company at D.loro, for the recovery of nickel and c 'bait oxides.

Silver bullion of a finei.ess varying from 850 to 998-2 is produced at the workB, other products being white arsenic and more recently nickel and cobalt oxides or mixed oxides.

The process consists essentially of amalgamation in cyanide solution in a tube mill where more than 97 per cent of the silver i„ the ore is recovered as amalgam. The residue then undergoes regular cyanide treatment whereby aa additional extrac- tion is made. During the summer a reBnery was erected, since which time the whole product of the mill has been shipped as fine bullion. Trenching was confined to the section south and east of Peterson lake , J'""^ "^ ^^ '"^" completed IS-T miles of trenches 2-7 feet deep at a cost of 98,831.58.

The chief sour.'es of the silver poduction in this Province are the silver- lead ores of East and West Kootenay. supplemented by the silver contained in the gold-copper-silver ores of Rossland, Boundary, and Coast districU. The production in 1911, based on smelter recoveries, was 1,887,147 ounce« valued at $1,005,924. The leading silver producers among the mines of the Province in order of importance are the Van Roi, Sullivan, Rambler-Cariboo, St. Eugene, Ruth, and Standard. The (JranEj- nii,u;s al Phoenix on a<-coiint of their large fmnajre of eopper or,.s come fourth a.s silver produ.-ers. with the others maintaining their relative positions. Considerable attention is being pai.l to the silver-lead properties of the Slooan district, with probabilities of increased production, from the Sandon Silverton, and Ainsworth camps.

The base price varies with the price of spelter at St. Louis, and a sUted amount is added or deducted for every unit of zinc in excess of or less than the base. The ailver is settled for at the New York price after making deduc- tions for losses in treatment. Limits are frequently set which lead or iron concents may not exceed. A typical example may be given. A certain mine was paid $28.50 per short ton for zinc concentrates carrying 45 per cent zinc, when spelter wag quoted at 6 cente per pound at St. Louis. For every unit above or below 48 i«er cent zinc 86 cente was added or deducted. For every increase or decreaee of one cent per pound in the price of spelter at St. Louis, an increase or decrease wa.s allowed of $7 per tton of 2,000 pounds, and proportionately for fractions thereof. In the case of the silver ooateat, six oimees per ton were deducted and 75 per cent of the remainder p«id for at the New York price. The sellers paid freight, custom? duty, and collection charges. 69 I Im iniporU of zinu tuki'ii as an in.itx of .oii^uinptioii. show a fairly steady uuTease.

According to "The Mineral Industr- " published in New Vork: "The market for molybdenum ores is very narrow.
