Standard Mill Labor Issues
Colorado Springs. Feb. 20.
graphic for visual presentation of text(From Our Special Correspondent.)
graphic for visual presentation of text The market closes this week far from satisfactory, owing to a struggle precipitated this week between the Western Federation of Miners and the United States Reduction and Refining Company over the attempt to unionize the Colorado City plants of the company.
graphic for visual presentation of text Like a flash out of a clear sky came the announcement on the 15th that a strike had been ordered against the Standard Mill, the only plant of the United States Company now in operation at Colorado City.
graphic for visual presentation of text Of the 200 men employed, but 25 responded, and barring some inconvenience for a day or two operations at the big mill have continued uninterruptedly since that time, although under a guard of deputy sheriffs of El Paso County. Rioting on a small scale was attempted on the 16th, but suppressed by the civil authorities as well as the unions; so that a semblance of peace is maintained, although the battle is by no means concluded.
graphic for visual presentation of text The owners of the Standard Mill have filled the places of the strikers, and are stocking their plants with food and bedding, anticipating a long fight, as they announce that they will not accede to the demands of the strikers, as the trouble has been precipitated entirely by the interference of outside labor leaders.

Colorado City Mills Runs Protected
The Standard and Portland mills at Colorado City are running under the protection of troops. The refusal of the Cripple Creek mine owners to stop shipping ore to the mills will doubtless result in a miners' strike unless it happens that the unions of Cripple Creek will refuse to recognize the authority of the Western Federation of miners and stick to their work. It is generally admitted that this strike is a fight to a finish between the Western Federation of Miners and the mine owners, and mill operators of Colorado, and that the struggle has but started.

Denver. March 28.
graphic for visual presentation of text Governor Peabody's advisory committee has meetings in Colorado Springs and Colorado City, and yesterday heard considerable testimony at Colorado City, from the strikers, who sought to show that inadequate wages were paid, and that employees had been discharged from the Standard Mill of the United States Reduction and Refining Company solely because they had become members of the local Mill and Smelter Men's Union.
graphic for visual presentation of text However, the question is no longer one of wages or hours, but of recognition of the union by the United States Reduction and Refining Company. The union insists that discharged union men shall be reinstated. The manager of the mill offers "to take back all men who left the employment of the company on account of the recent strike, without discrimination, as soon as vacancies occur"
graphic for visual presentation of text The officers of the Western Federation of Miners demand that "men who have been discharged and those who have left the company's service on account of the recent strike shall be taken back, without discrimination, within 30 days".

Info Title:
Standard Mill to Close for an Indefinite Period Soon
Denver, Colorado.—The Standard reduction mill of the United States Reduction & Refining company, located at Colorado City, will be closed for an indefinite period as soon as the ore on hand has been treated, according to an order issued by Superintendent J. Dawson Hawkins.
graphic for visual presentation of text This probably will require a week. Mr. Hawkins stated that he had no intimation as to the reason for taking this step, it being ordered by General Manager C. M. MacNeill. C. M. MacNeill, vice president and general manager of the company, recently stated:
graphic for visual presentation of text "We cannot run a mill on atmosphere. If there were plenty of ore the mill probably would continue to run." When pressed to answer whether the lack of ore comprised the reason for closing down, he said: "That is one of the reasons."
graphic for visual presentation of text The Standard plant is one of the largest plants handling Cripple Creek ores, and holds some long time contracts with several of the biggest producers in camp. By the closing down of the plant, which has a capacity of 13,000 tons per month, 200 men will be thrown out of employment. It is understood that the plant has not been running at its capacity for some time, but the report of a lack of ore comes as a decided surprise, as it was generally supposed that the Standard mill was getting all the ore it required to keep running.
graphic for visual presentation of text The United States Reduction & Refining company shut down its Colorado-Philadelphia plant about two and a half years ago, and it was thought in local mining circles that this mill would reopen in the near future. The mill has been kept in perfect order, ready for resumption at an hour's notice, and the mining public was prepared to hear of the resumption of the Colorado-Philadelphia instead of the shut-down of the Standard. Despite the repeated and emphatic denials of the United States company officials regarding the report that their property and assets have been sold to the Guggenheims, the shut-down of the Standard is regarded by some as the first step in the actual transfer of the property to the American Smelting & Refining company.

Info Title:
U. S. Refining & Reduction Co. and Smelter Rates

Cripple Creek—The United States Refining & Reduction Co. and the smelters have announced a sweeping reduction for treatment and transportation rates. The reduction is from 20 to 25% under the present charges, made on October 15 last, when a big reduction was made.

The statement given out by the company's officials reads, that effective on all bills of lading of Dec. 26, 1907, and until further notice, the following open rate will apply:

  • Up to ½ oz., $4.50 freight and treatment
  • ½ to ¾ oz., $5.00 freight and treatment
  • ¾ to 1 oz., $5.50 freight and treatment
  • 1 to 1½ ozs., $6.00 freight and treatment
  • 1½ to 2 ozs., $7.00 freight and treatment
  • 2 to 3 ozs., $8.00 freight and treatment
  • 3 to 5 ozs., $8.50 freight and treatment
  • f. o. b. car at Denver, Pueblo and Leadville:

  • 5 to 7½ ozs., $5.50 treatment plus freight
  • 7½ to 10 ozs., $6.50 treatment plus freight
  • 10 to 12½ ozs., $7.50 treatment plus freight.

As a result of the reduction, the production and shipment of low-grade ores of Cripple Creek will receive a great impetus, and the output for 1908, if the new rates are kept in force, will show a very large increase.

A record has been made by the Eagle sampler, which shows that great activity is prevalent in the Cripple Creek district. During January 21,100 tons of ore were sampled, and now the tonnage is largely increased. In one day of two 9½ hr. shifts the plant sampled 1052.5 tons, which constitutes a record.
graphic for visual presentation of text The ore is going to the mills at Colorado City and Florence. The Golden Cycle mine alone is shipping 200 tons per day. The reason for this activity is the reduction in rates charged by the United States R. & R. Co., which charges only $3.50 per ton for ores of $8 or less.

Info Title:
United States Reduction & Refining Co. Rate Changes
Cripple Creek—An increase in the treatment rates on ores from this camp has been announced by the United States Refining & Reduction Co. of from 25 to 50 cents per ton on all ores except that from $8 and $10 in value, which remains unchanged.
graphic for visual presentation of text The reason given by the company for the advance is that since the cut in open rates on the treatment of ores its mills have been operated at an increased expense, and frequently low-grade ore showing a pay sample had been handled at a loss. It is also claimed that in living up to the 24-hour settlement and taking care of long time contracts an increase in rates has become necessary to look after the heavy shipments in the open ore market.

Info Title:
Golden Cycle & U.S. R. & R. Companies Treatment Rate Wars in 1908
The Golden Cycle mine has been one of the steadiest and largest producers in the camp for many years, and the great help given to the Cripple Creek district by J. T. Milliken in building an 800-ton mill at Colorado City and treating (in addition to the Golden Cycle ore) custom ore, cannot be over-estimated.
graphic for visual presentation of text Their rate of $4.50 for freight and treatment on $8 ore was the means of making the camp look like 'old times' again, for almost every property with anything in sight, commenced operations either under lease or company account, and everyone was looking for leases in the mines or on the dumps.
graphic for visual presentation of text The United States Reduction & Refining Co., to meet this competition, put down their rates even lower than the Golden Cycle, making a $3.50 rate on $8 ore (though they have since raised this twice during the last three months), thus more than ever stimulating development work all over the district.
graphic for visual presentation of text Unfortunately many lessees shipped thousands of tons of dump ore that ran close to $4, leaving the Reduction company but little margin for loss, hence their reasons for putting up their rates to discourage the shipment of ore running under $10 per ton.
graphic for visual presentation of text However, the good work done by the Cycle people is highly commendable, and has been the means of bringing the camp back to a good monthly tonnage.

CRIPPLE CREEK ORE PRODUCTION.
———

According to statements of the smelter and mill representatives and the accompanying estimates of values, the output of Cripple Creek mines in March amounted to 73,125 tons, carrying a gross bullion value of $1,358,455. This production is 3,979 tons in excess of that of February for tonnage, and $105,401 in value.

Increases are shown at all of the plants, with the local mills handling an exceptionally heavy tonnage. This output is largely due to the favorable weather condition. The output:

U. S. Refining & Reduction Co. Still Offers Chlorination
Chlorination Abandoned.
graphic for visual presentation of text The decision to abandon the chlorination end of the treatment at the Portland will leave but one company still treating Cripple Creek ore by chlorination, viz., the United States Refining & Reduction Company.
graphic for visual presentation of text At this company's Standard Plant at Colorado Springs a combination of chlorination and cyanidation is used, on much the same order as at the Portland, with the exception that at the Standard chlorine is generated electrolytically instead of by the action of sulphuric acid on bleaching powder.

Info Title:
Chlorination of Cripple Creek Ore Lost Out to Cyaniding
In the early days of gold milling in the Cripple Creek district the cyanide mills were worsted in the competition with the chlorination works and, for many years, the latter held the field.
graphic for visual presentation of text Improvements in cyanidation, however, altered the conditions, and the cyanide mills are now undoubtedly ahead.
graphic for visual presentation of text
graphic for visual presentation of text Emphasis is given to this conclusion by the fact that the Portland company recently decided to change its mill at Colorado City, having a capacity for the treatment of 10,000 tons of ore per month, from the chlorination to the cyanide process.
graphic for visual presentation of text This will leave the United States Reduction and Refining Company with the only chlorination mill in the field, and three of its chlorination mills are idle.

Info Title:
Standard Mill, Last of the Chlorination Plants, Has Just Been Closed-Down
THE BATTLE of the processes has been nowhere waged more vigorously than in Colorado, where chlorination and cyanidation have competed with varying success during two decades for preference in the treatment of the ores of Cripple Creek.
graphic for visual presentation of text For a long time the big battalions of capital were on the side of chlorination, the principal plants using the process being consolidated in a corporation capitalized at £2,500,000 and known as the United States Reduction & Refining Co., which must not be confounded with the smelter trust, called the American Smelting & Refining Co. or its chief rival, the United States Smelting, Refining & Mining Co.
graphic for visual presentation of text Cyanidation is the victor, for it has been apparent for several years that the application of tube-milling and cyanidation to the tailing from the chlorination plants had placed these in a humiliating position. The Standard mill at Colorado Springs, the last of the chlorination plants, has just been closed-down, leaving cyanidation in undisputed possession of the field.
graphic for visual presentation of text The mill trust has now four chlorination mills on its hands, besides a plant for using zinc-fume in manufacturing paint, all of which are idle. These originally cost £300,000, or, if we include the Metallic Extraction plant, about £400,000, against which stocks and bonds were issued for £2,500,000.
graphic for visual presentation of text No assets remain, save the residue discarded in the heyday of chlorination, now only a memory.

Standard Mill to Suspend Operations Next Year
A MILL SUSPENSION AT COLORADO CITY.
graphic for visual presentation of text———
graphic for visual presentation of text Announcement is made that the United States Reduction and Refining Co. will temporarily suspend operation of its plant at Colorado City on account of the continued decrease in ore shipments. The existing contracts of the company will be taken care of by the Golden Cycle mill at Colorado City and the United States plant will close about Jan. 30, after treating ore now in transit and on hand.
graphic for visual presentation of text The fact that the competitive Golden Cycle plant will care for the United States Co.'s contracts has given rise to conjecture concerning the nature of relationship now existing between the two concerns.

Standard Mill Closes as of December First
Chlorination Abandoned at Colorado City
graphic for visual presentation of textDenver Correspondence
graphic for visual presentation of text The closing of the Standard mill, at Colorado City, Colo., the principal works of the United States Reduction & Refining Co., has been announced, and its custom ores from the Cripple Creek region will go to the Golden Cycle Mining & Milling Co., to whom the field is practically abandoned.
graphic for visual presentation of text This is the outcome of the rate war started by the former company about three years ago, in order to do away with the competition of the smaller plants and the custom business of the Portland and Golden Cycle mills.
graphic for visual presentation of text J. Dawson Hawkins, president and general manager, has issued a circular to the producers with whom the company has contracts, informing them that he has arranged with the Golden Cycle company to handle their ores at contract rates, and instructing them to make shipments, commencing Dec. 1, to that company.

graphic for visual presentation of text
graphic for visual presentation of text Salvage of potash from gold-mill residue is the object of the International Potash Corporation composed of Omaha and Lincoln capitalists, who have secured a lease from the Morse Bros. Machinery & Supply Co. on the 6,000,000-ton dump at the dismantled mill of the United States Reduction & Refining Co. near Colorado Springs.
graphic for visual presentation of text Chemists have decided that the dumps average 11% potash. Answering an inquiry into the discrepancy between the potash content of the dumps at two mills {Portland Mill having 7%] treating ores from the same district, the explanation has been offered that the United States mill tailing was mostly made at a period when the ore was subjected to different treatment from that subsequently practised in the Portland mill.
graphic for visual presentation of text A new plant, 125 ft. square, costing approximately $100,000, is being erected and is expected to be in commission by May 1. The process is one developed by professors of Johns Hopkins University and goes by the name of that institution.
