The SiIUer States.

The Mining and Metallurgical Journal has undertaken to give some interesting statistics relative to how five of the sil yer producing states and territories are affected by the depreciation of silver.
 California is not classed among the larger silver producing states of Cobra do, Michigan, Montana, and Idaho, al though in the year 1884 this state pro- dnced 3,000,000$ and in 1885 $500, ,OOO$ of silver for the years but the output has declined year by year, until it is now about SOC, ,OOO$ year.
 Silver is the third most important mineral product of the state at the prts- ent, and would rank second to gold if our laws permitted the honest industry of silver mining.
 The lowest cost of producing silver may be estimated at 50 cents on the dollar, for when the price of silver fell to nearly that figure the last silver mine closed down, as it would not pay at that price.
 The loss of the silver mines to the state has been 1,5OO,OOO$ year since 1885, for the 12 years since that date to the present time, total loss of 18,000,- OOO$, or about equal to the total mineral output of the state for one year.
 Arizona at the present time produces about 5OO,OOO$ of silver, but in 1881 and 1882, 7,OOO,OOO$ were produced each year, and has gradually decreased each year since that time, due to decrease in price.
 Since 1882 the loss of the silver mines to Arizona has been about 44,500, ,000$ for the labor or cost of producing about 50 cents on the dollar.
 The silver output of Nevada has de- creased from 7,OOO,O in 1888 to about 500 ,O00$ at the present time. The loss to Nevada through the suspension of sill yer mining has been 29,25O, ,O0O$ for loss of labor estimated at cost of production.
 At the present time New Mexico pro- duces about 25O, ,OOO$ and the largest sil-
Mohave County miner., 1897-09-04

yer production of the territory was in 1884 and 1885, with an output of 3,000,- 000$ The loss in this territory by the suspension of silver mining has been 16,500,O ,O0O$ for labor or cost of produc- ton since 1885
 The amount of production of silver in Utah up to the recent decline was esti- mated at little over 4,OOO,OOO$ The largest production of silver was in 1881, when II ,313,1 were mined. During the last six years Utah alone has lost 21,000,000$ due to the falling off of silver mining.

The discoverers were MT. Beglson, and expert representing California syndi cate. and Messrs. Gladhaugh and Rip stein, two old residents of Cook Inlet. The lead is said to be 300 or 400 feet wide, the ore being copper with 1,000,. 600 tons in sight.

Thousands of senseless people, ignor- ant of where they are going, are still heading for the Klondike. There will be appalling accounts of suffering and death in horrible form from all along the route before long. This journal tried to stem the silly tide by publishing the truth, but those whose maginations were inflamed by reading the countless columns of rot spread all over the coun- try would see nothing but that which their fancy created.
 Reg garding the geology of that region, Prof. Lindemann, who explored the up. per Yukon in 1871 and 1873, says that ''the mineral zone extends east and west, instead of northeast to southwest. The formations are of an earlier period in the earth's history than are those ia millar with the limits of the United States proper. I noticed five different strata, the upper and thinnest one being 30 feet thick.
 ''I think that the entire country IS mineral territory, and the entire Alaskan range goldoearing, the placers being found on every stream leading from the range on either side. The ledges are of tremendous width, but the gold-bearing rock is of low grade and cannot oe pro- fta ply worked without the aid of capital.
 "The geological form ation where gold is found is black slate of the Carbon iferous age. I found there also lime, quartz and a quartzite, but no ashen granite. I found a granite about 236 miles west of Cooks inlet, and 1 found hematite 13O miles northeast of the Alaskan range.
 "In the Kalhum hills, which were first explored by Russians, there are copper and coal. About sixty miles north of Mount Lake I found oil. I crossed and examined ffty-two streams and rivers and banned gold in all of them. 1 found many small nuggets, some of them weighing as much as five carals. 1 took gold out of the Katrin hills, where no other white man has ever visited. That point is about 23O miles north of Cooks inlet and probably 600 miles north of the klondike field. But all my explorations showed low-grade values. The Klondike placers are un. doubtedly rich in spots, but they will be found to be great exception. On Por- cupine river I found flour gold aud some small nuggets. Along the exposed lodges 1 made many careful analyses, but al ways to find low values.
 "The dip rock varies greatly-from 11o to 79. Some quartz Assures I noted and they were all knifeblade seams. There were tremendous ledges, however, that would be very pro6ta ble workings for big mills, backed by an abundance of capital. ."-M. & s. Press.

There is no reason to fear that Alaska gold will glut the market. Arizona has already produced more gold this year than Alaska and British Columbia together and yet there is not the least trace of ex- citement in the territory. The steamer Portland brought down men from the frozen north who had accumulated 2,OOO$ in two years and who were glad to leave the Land of the Midnight Sun for a more congenial cline.

P. B. McKeon, of Milford, has taken a bond for a deed on a bed of pumIce stone ten miles east from Milford. For years it has been known that this ar ticle existed in this vicinity. Experts in that line have been here, but all went away without doing anything. The pumice has been considered too fine and soft for any marketable value. This lat ter find is different, however McKeon claims that he has the proper uff this time, and that fine face of ten feet thickness supports his claims. As the article is worth something like 50$ per ton on the cars at Milford, and it can be loaded for three dollars per ton it is reasonable to state that quite formid- able competitor in the pumice business is springing up in this property Salt Lake Herald.
