corded In the history Of the State
Reference to the accompanying
table, which the News" pre-
sents as fairly accurate, shows the
gross output of copper for the year TO
be l42s7S77 pounds, as compared with
996S 900 In 1899 Without taking into
account the gold shipped by the Gey-
ser Marion earlier in the year. the gold
output is placed at 1s6S6l ounces. which
shows an increase OF nearly 1900
ounces. or about $3.50, 900 over last years
report, The magnificent output OF lead
last year is surpassed this year by A.
293.66I pounds, while the silver produce
ton exceeds last years record by $40 1872
ounces, and comes within 1872. GIG ounces
Of reaching the record Of 1892, which
was the banner year for the white me-
tai In the aistory Of Utah mining.
With the exception Of the
Highland Boy and Centennial Eur
eka. the totals given have been
furnished the News" by the
various companies. and may be consid-
cred final. j. Is probable that the High
land Boy ami Centennial Eureka esti-
mates for the year viii be found accur-
ate enough FOR all practical purposes,
as they are based on the reports fur
pIshed by those companies on June 3Oth.
II the output Is the same for the last
Blk months Of 1900 as it was from jan
uary to the end of June-and the ship
ments show little or no change--the fig
ares IN tie table may be considered as
practically correct. The report OF the
Mercur ~ strictly accurate, while the
total output Of the Sacramento. with
the December estimated is pronounced
sufficiently accurate b. the officers OF
the company. The Con. Mercur output
for December Is estimated TO be similar
20 that Of November, which makes the
total amount since the incorporation

THE A. S. & r. co.
The showing made by the American
Smelling and Refining company places
| this year in a very favorable light. An
| increase Is noted all round. The cop
per bullion shipped by the company
| this year, with the December output
estimated is placed at 5,G41SG3 pounds,
against 4S95,09O pounds shipped last
! year, This years output Of gold ex-

The silver bullion shipped is also in ex-
cess OF that Of last year In 1899 g.
S2S,6iO ounces were shipped by the COM
pany while this year 46l3,3ls ounces
were forwarded to the east. A marked
Increase Is also seen in the lead bull
lion exported, which aggregates
the grand total Of Il. 95S 92S pounds, as
compared with 43 Cos Gl9 pounds export
ed by the company last year. The ex-
port value of all this product Is esti-
mated at nearly S6.500,0 900.
A splendid showing is made by the
Park City mines. According to the
statements furnished by the companies,
the aggregate copper production was
509s7O pounds, while the lead shipped
from the camp was As $50 pounds,
or nearly half of the total lead output OF
the State. The silver production was g.
20b,Ss4 ounces, or about 81 per cent OF
the entire amount produced In the year.
The amount Of gold shipped was S,57S
ounces. OF the entire amount OF gold
produced, Mercur is credited with a
little over so per cent The Highland
Boy comes prominently TO the front
with its production OF nearly ~ million
pounds OF copper I'm addition 20 gold
and silver. The Centennial Eureka has
has also made a splendid record, as has
the Daily West. The Silver Kings
output is not segregated, but It's pro-
duction is q magnificent one In addi-
ton 10 the copper totals given should
be include in the Grand Gulch and
Savanie shipments, which while not
exactly In Utah, are owned by Salt

FLUCTUATIONS IN LEAD.
The latter months Of the year closes
with lead quotations standing on
settled basis OF $500 per ton. This Is
due 20 the American Smelling and Re.
flning company agreeing 20 pay the
rcoiue's that sum REGARDLESS ~ the
market fluctuations which have hlther-
80 been very wide. As illustrating this
81 nay he mentioned that on January
2dd lead stood at S452is per hundred
pounds which was followed boy a
further advance TO A51ia on the Sth.
The price remained at this figure or
around K, until May eth when II
dropped to A5j. This was followed
by decline TO 1920 on the 14th OF that

had a backset, however owing to later
shipments not running so well as the

per at &c. but II fell on to 1874 before
the month closed. June witnessed a
further decline 10 l5 which was fol-
lowed by an Improvement In July when
the metal opened at 1874 and went 20
l51s on the 23rd OF that month. In
August copper reached 1854, at which
figure II remained pretty even until
November l9 when another advance TO
1875 was recorded December opened
with the same quotation and the pros
poets Of copper remaining firm are
considered very good owing to the
great demand for It in electrical and
other pursuits.
SILVER PRICES REVIEWED.
silver opened the year at 5SB but
moved up to go on January %. on
February It had further advanced to
60as but fell back 10 $685. before the
month was out and did not reach 90
again until March l5. April opened
with the metal quoted at $685. and no
particular change occurred until the
latter part of May when 10 moved up
To go. During June Il climbed steadily
until II reached sos on the 2jth OF
the month July opened with the
highest quotation Of the year, viz, GlA.
which, on the 9th Of that mouth, was
changed 20 Gl&. a decline followed
and on August 18th the quotation
reached 81 again. from which figure Il
moved up to 62A on the 18th. A gradu-
al stlnanIng up took place during Sep
TENDER and on October 9Th the metal
stood az 64As from which figure II de-
clined 10 G2N on the 18th, but Jumped
TO Gj on the 23rd OF October November
opened with the quotation standing at
64ia Some fluctuations between mar
row limits occurred during the month
and ON December LIST the metal stood
az Gi%. The quotations on silver this
year have been higher than they have
been since the spring Of 81. and the
prospects for further advances in 1901
are considered good.
PARK CITY SAMPLER.
During the past year the Park City
sampler has handled $1,000 tons Of ore
from seven shipping mines In the dis
trict The tonnage does not differ ma
terially from that OF 1899 which speaks
well for the stability OF the camp. II
is very probable that several promising
prospects will be- entering the shipping
