IddhO's Gold and
Silver Production,

Statistics collected from the mines
of Idaho by the United States Geo
logical Survey show that in 1906
they yielded gold to the value OF
S1,14o, 200, an increase OF $751;
4S2 over the production of 1905.
The principal producing counties,
with amounts ranging from $22e,-
O24 to $87, 607, named in the order
of amount of product, are Boise,
Owyhee, Idaho, Elmorc, Custer,
Lcrnhi and Shoshonc. The placers
of the Boise basin show a consider
able increase as do the siliceous
ores of Custer. The DcLamar mines
Owyhec county, decreased their
output owing to technical causes.
Some what less than two-thirds OF
the States production was deriv d
from siliceous ores and one-third
from placers. Copper and lead ores
added only about 500, 600. TIE
total value of the placer output
was S355, o37 of which only about
$4,000 was derived from dredg-
ing operations.
Of silver o,081,8l5 ounces were
produced, an increase of 800, 722
ounces. Of the total 2, 5, 995
ounces we're derived from the lead
ores of the Occur d Alene district,
an increase of more than 500, 600
ounces. Only 765, $40 ounces were
yielded by siliceous ores and
564, 1913 ounces by copper ores.
In value of it's silver output
Idaho ranks fourth among the
states, Colorado, Montana, and
Utah exceeding it.
The production OF precious
metals in the United States in
1906 is reported by Waldemar
Lindgren, geologist OF the United
States Geological Survey in an adj
vance chapter from Mineral Re-
sources of the United States, CAL
