factory is due to the untiring efforts

last January his company sent out
two agents, neither one of whom
knew the other had been assigned to
the work, to select a location for a
plant at city on the Mississippi be-
tween St. Louis and st. Paul. Both
agreed that Rock Island had the most
attractive advantages. In this con-
nection he suggested if manufactur-
ers in the crowded centers of the east
were made acquainted with the nat
uraI facilities possessed by Rock Is
land he had no doubt it would mean
the location of many factories here.

PRECIOUS METAL
PRODUCTION
Tabulated Statement OF States
and Territories

At tho risk Of wearying our readers
with statistics we present the final esti.
mate Of the production Of gold and silver
In the United states during the calendar
year 1901, recently issued by George f.
Roberts, director OF the mint. Nv. Rob.
erts' statement shows that during the
,esr the United ststss, produced $685..
500 ounces Of gold, valued at t7S, ,888, 200.
a decrease Of t5Ol, 800, or 0.8S per cent,
a. compared with the year 1900. Ten Of
the nineteen states and territories yield.
ing gold showed an increased production
California leading with tl,075, 200, an
increase due entirely to the normal dc.
velopment Of the mining industry. Ne
vada showed the material gain Of t987,.
600, which came largely from the newly
discovered camp Of Tonopah. South
Dakota also made a gain Of t3Ol,.
800; Idaho tl44,8OO and Oregon tl2S, 400.
The greatest decrease, amounting to o..
2S5, 800, was In Alaska. This was due to
the lateness of the season, which delay.
ed the opening Of the placers, and to
litigation, which interfered with the de.
velopment Of the industry.
Colorado diminished tf, 1875 800, y fact
explained by the decline In grade Of ores
extracted, the tonnage having increased.
The silver yield for 1901 amounted to
56.2l4,OOO ounces, Of the commercial
value Of tSS, l28, 400, which was 2, ,4SS, 600
ounces or five per cent less than II was
in 1900. The greatest gain-l ,483, 200
ounces-was In Utah, almost all Of which
came from the Park City district.

approximate distribution by producing
states and territories Of the product OF
gold and silver In the United States for
the year 1901:

MORE WORK
ON CLIMAX.
P. R. Bishop viii Commence
Operations on II Shortly.

Phil X. Bishop, one Of the hest known
pioneer mining mon in the Sumpter dis.
trict, was in town last week from the
Climax mine, In Cracker Creek district.
He and George W. Grayson, Of San
Francisco, have owned this property for
a number Of years. and It has been quite
extensively developed, principally by
tunnels. The lower tunnel Is in about
400 feet and the upper, 100 feet above the
lower, 600 feet.
Mr.. Bishop is now here to superintend
further development work on the Cli-
max, the most important part Of which
will be the connecting Of the two tunnels
by An upraise run through the 900 feet
between the two. Work will be prose.
cuted from both tunnels stimuli ultaneously,
sinking from the upper and driving the
uprsise from the lower. This shaft will
be sunk at the end Of the upper tunnel,
200 feet in.
Before work could begin vast deal Of
dead work had to be done before en-.
trance could be gained to the lower tun.
mel, caused by the breaking Of their
ditch, which il under lease TO the Col.
conda company. The Climax people
experience this each season when they
begin work. The mouth Of the tunnel
was oiled by solid mass OF large and
small boulders, earth and other debris,
and II required several days Of hard
labor to clear It away. When opened, II
was discovered that the tunnel was All.
ed to depth Of about seven feet for its
entire length with water, which when
released rushed down the mountain side
with such violence that huge boulders
weighing several tons were carried away.
AZ soon as the tunnel has dried work
will begin.
The Climax group 10 on the same vein
and adjoins the Columbia. II Ia sup
posed TO be one OF the best properties In
thst district, containing within its limits
the richest mines on earth. Numerous
assays showing that ore running up into
thousands Of dollars per ton have been
made, but, like the Z. 4 E., has seem.
ingly been under the malign influence Of
. hoodo0. For some reason or other II
has never been a. fully developed a.
its moro famous neiRhbors, and though
from time TO time rumors have been
current Of negotiations pending for its
sale at a big figure, the deals have thus
far not materislixed. This fact does not,
however, indicate that the mine 10 not
what 10 claimed for it by the owners,
who have all kinds OF taith that il will
prove Of equal or higher rank ~ = pro-
ducer than the North Pole, Golconda
and Columbia.
Mr.. Bishop returned q week or two
since from the famous old Auburn plsc-
ers, which he sold TO Chicago people,
represented by l.. c. Jsquish. He has
been putting the property in shape for
next seasons run. These diggings have
been worked for more than quarter OF
a century and have yielded millions OF
dollars worth Of gold dust. Under mod.
ern placer mining methods it 10 believed
they will again become IN important az.
