BIG YEAR IN MINING INDUSTRY.
Labor Troubles Cause Decrease in
Gold Productions.

Gold Productions.
Denver, Colo, Jan. 15.-The past
year as it affects the mining of gold,
silver, copper, zinc and lead will be re-
membered as having marked a per.
iod of very substantial productions
by a number of new enterprises, or
ganized within the past three years.
The general impetus which has been
in evidence in the development of the
lines since 1898 and which reached its
climax in 1902 was not deferred in
1903, Notwithstanding the fact that
the preliminary figures compiled by
the director Of the mint show II de-
crease in the gold production OF s6,-
100000. This loss is readily explain
ed by the falling off Of the Cripple
Greek output due to labor troubles.
While 1902 was in every respect a
memorable year for the mining in
|dustry-one which witnessed the great
est amount of new development work
ever undertaken for a like period
yet 1903 will take rank as staisfac
tory sequence to memorable year.
In the west, particularly in Colora.
do, Arizona and California, operations
of the mines have been hampered by
labor difficulties, each Of which found
a local reason to aggravate it. While
