TRACE METALS TO THE MINES.
Government Agents Will Ascertain Where
Gold and Silver Is Produced.

The new departure taken by the United
States geological survey cannot help but
prove advantageous to the mining indus.
try of the country. The features alluded
to will be the collection of statistics per.
tanning to the production of gold and Sil.
yer throughout Uncle Sans domain and,
with this In view, special agents have
been appointed and assigned to the dlf
ferent states. These agents will be in.
dependent and yet act as an auxiliary to
the director OF the mint, who prepares an
annual report OF the production OF the
precious metals, the report of the mint
officials being from commercial stand
point only, while the efforts of the geolog
ical survey will be directed to a study OF
gold and silver production from geoog.
ical standpoint.
IN this statistical work the special
agents will trace the origin of gold and
silver In our different mining camps and
districts, and they will make a Study of
the formation and of the geological con.
ditions wherein the greatest values exist.
A list will be compiled giving the names
and location of the mines producing gold
and silver bearing ore and, at the same
time, the character of the ore will be re.
corded, and attention will be paid to the
gangue matter, the nature OF the foot and
hanging walls, and all other scientific data
connected with mining operations pertain.
Ing to the recovery Of silver and gold.
The information thus obtained will be
published by the government In its an.
nual statistical report, and will thus be
accessible to those interested In whatever
way In the mining industry. This report
will surely furnish fund Of valuable In.
formation concerning the production Of
the precious metals, as II will be vGlumi.

LAYTON MINING ITEMS.
(From the Siandari.)


The Cougar miIe on which work was
commenced the first of last week, several
men being employed in facing up the tun
mel. timbering, ETC., closed down Saturday
night for an indefinite period.
Monahan and Murphy have cut tine
body of ore on their claim across Congo
creek from the Red Boy tunnel. This
property and the Wilson property adjoin.
Ing are sure to make producers under
proper development. In the former a
large pay shoot has been encountered
that assays nearly $40 per ton across the
entire face of the drift.
S. B. Dourty, manager and part owner
of the Yellow Daisy mine, near this city.
informs us that one of the lodges in the
upper tunnel has been cut and looks fine.
This property gives splendid indications
of developing into one Of the richest pro.
dueing mines In this section and Mr..
Dourty Is to be congratulated as:one Of
the possessors Of the property.
In the west crosscut Of the Concord
mine four foot body Of ore has been en-.
countered that assays In the neighborhood
of $40 to the ton. As progress on the
drift continues the pay shoot becomes
richer and broader. The Concord is Ger.
tainly a most wonderful property and at
this time indications are favorable that 1t
is as valuable as the Red Boy.

This year fish have been unusually
plentiful in Paaalmaquoddy bay, and

the beginning Of opera tons. More than
500 hogSheads We're taken at the fac
