According to figures recently furnished by the
director of the Census Bureau the estimated cost
of the next Federal Census will be very little in
excess of $12,ooo,ooo. The cost of enrolling the
population is likely to be kept within the expense
limit fixed by the preceding census. The proba-
bic decrease per capita in the cost is due to the
fact that permanent census bureau has been es-

CEMENT OUTPUT WAS
$4,000, 900 BARRELS

The Portland cement producers of the
United States have replied so promptly
to the statistical inquiries addressed TO
them by the United States geological sur
very that 1t is now possible to make a
very close estimate of the Portland CO.
ment production for the calendar year
1907 Edwin c. Eckel, who is in charge
of the statistical work on cement for
the survey, has accordingly prepared the
following statement.
Returns have been received from eightv-
seven plants. representing over % per cent
OF the Portland cement production of the
United States. AS the ten plarHs which
have not yet replied include only two
large producers, il is possible to make
fairly accurate estimate of the total
cement production of 1907 The returns
so far received indicate that the total
output of Portland cement in the United
States during the calendar year 1867 was
approximately 100000 barrels. This
should be compared with an output of
f6.46S, 424 barrels In 1906. and of % 246, SIP
barrels in 1905.
Though the production of 1907 shows
an increase over that of 1906. it is slight
as compared with past annual gains in
the cement industry, indicating that the
Portland cement production of the Unit
ed States has now reached a stage in its
development where il is directly and
promptly affected by general business de-
preston.
An official statement that the cement
required for the Panama canal would he
only 4.500.O00 barrels has served to put at
rest exaggerated ideas concerning the i'm
portance of this work to the cement trade
The further statements that bids would
be asked for delivery of clinker on the
isthmus. and that the government might
possibly erect its own cement plant there
are also of interest to existing American
plants.

MINES AND MINING

cause they are. by old methods, untreat-
able.
Let us take an ore containing the sui
phide of copper. lead, zinc, iron, manga
nese, with gold and silver and gangue
The crushed ore is run into a trans
former, which looks like a small blast
furnace. made OF fire clay, or of lined
iron. 1t runs continuously, and descrip-
ton may be started at stage when
tapping has just taken place. The top
of the transformer has a cone. and ore
is poured in. The chlorine enters at the
bottom, through a carbon tube or
tuyere. The chlorine bubbling through the
ore displaces the sulphur. which comes
off and is condensed. This evolves a
great deal of heat so that the trans
former is self-heating, and there is no
coal or cOke-firing or outside heating of
any sort. The temperature is controlled
by the rate of heating of the chlorine.
The secret of success lies in keeping
the temperature right, but a consider
able range of temperature Is permlssl-
bic, so there is little trouble on this
score. Large transformers are best-over
ten tons When the sulphur has passed
off and has been collected. the trans
former is tapped, and the mass OF FUSED
chlOrides is run out into water aud
through a filter press when cool enough.
This takes out the gangue and lead chic
ride carrying the silver. The gangue is
easily separated from the lead and sill
yer chiorides, and these chlorides are then
dried and fused in contact with lead,
which extracts the silver and any gold;
and then with zinc. which gives the lead.

chloride, which is ready for the electricity
sis watts.
Final Electric Separation.
The filtrate from the press contains
little lead and silver in solution, and
copper iron, manganese and zinc The
lead and silver are taken out with spongy
copper the copper is taken out as sponge
or cement by zinc, and we nave iron,
manganese and zinc chlorides left. The
iron is chlorinated up to the ferric state
and zinc oxide is added to cause pre-
cipitation This throws down hydrated
ferric oxide, which is the base of iron
paint and marketable. The solution is
further chlorinized in the presence of
more zinc oxide and the manganese goes
down as peroxide.
We now have nothing left but zinc
chloride, which is separated by cleo
trolysis and the zinc and chlorine are
ready to be used over again.
Anthony, arsenic, bismuth, cobalt,
copper, gold, iron, manganese, silver, tin,
zinc have all been treated successfully
on a very large scale at the works first
mentioned, which have been in operation
nearly three years, and, as l said be-
fore they are seeking even here, ores
which other people cannot use, to car
ry them fifteen thousand miles to their
smelter.
The process is, of course, fully covered
by patents, and il is not known yet upon
what terms licenses for its use could be
obtained. My informant has, however,
made application for these particulars.

it treated only the iron sulphide and gave

the product.

PRODUCTION OF IRON
AHEAD OF CONSUMPTION

The statistical work of the United
States geological survey on the iron ore
production for 1907 is sufficiently far ad-
vanced to justify a preliminary estimate
on the total amount of iron ore pro-
duced in the United States during the
last year. Returns have so far been re-
ceived from producers known to repre-
sent about half the output of the coun-
try, and these returns indicate that the
total production for the year will fall
between 100000 and "a, 000.0o0 long tons
The total production in 1905 was Al
526.l63 long tons; that of 1906 was AZ. =
rs long tons. A total production of So
OO0000 tons in 1907 would amount to an
Increase of about II per cent over the
production in 1906. This gain was very
unevenly distributed among the several
producing districts The Lake Superior
district seems to show an increase of
about 10 per cent; the southern district
shows an increase of only per cent
and the northern or northeastern district
gains per cent. The western district
figures are as yet very incomplete, but
appear to show little or no gain over
1906.
AS the estimates are based on incom-
plete returns they are subject to correc-
ton. but, whatever the corrections may
be, final returns will show that the pro-
ductiOn of iron ore during 1907 was large
~ in excess of its consumption. The
amount of ore held in stock at the close
of the year at mines, ore docks and
other receiving points is probably the
largest in the history of the iron trade.

QUILL PUSHERS STRIKE
1T AT SEVEN TR0UGHS

The ground of the Seven Troughs Flor
ence NJ. & L. company, an association
composed largely of Salt Lake newspaper
men, is more than fulfilling the most san
guine expectations, as is evidenced by
an important strike and developments OF
the week, says tn Seven Troughs Miner
On this choice block of ground, recently
leased from the Seven Troughs Mining
company and lying 400 feet north of the
Seven Troughs Fatrview shaft, Davis x
SaXton, who are conducting prospecting
operations, opened and followed down for
thirteen feet a vein that is believed by
every one who has been on the ground
to be the north extension of the famous
FairVieW vein.
The dip and strike and position of the
vein is exactly where it ought TO be- but
the best evidence in the eyes of observ-
ers is the vein contents themselves. Be
ginning a few feet under the surface,
values appeared as shown in paintings.
This pay streak has increased in extent
ana richness until at a depth of thirteen
feet the entire bottom of the prospect
ing shaft pans, some of the highly oXi-
died streaks yielding a fine string of col
ors in the pan.
The vein matter as yet shows evidence
of extreme surface agitation, being some
what mixed in character. but its contents
of fine blue quartz. heavily impregnated
with the sulphide of iron, and lively look
ing tale and porphyry, give every indica-
ton of the apex of a rich mineral lode.
As a result of the strike Manager Ray
ID. Harris has ordered the suspension of
prospecting operations and the commence
ment of mining operations. This was done
Wednesday. when the operating force
started the double compartment vertical
working shaft some 30 or 60 feet west of
the alex of the west dipping exposed
vein. This is being sunk with all posi-
bic speed. 1t is figured that IL will in
tersect the vein at depth of from 40 to
120 feet. Those conversant with condi-
tons on the lease are confident that this
event holds a notable sensation for the

UTAH GOALS
ARE HIGH GRADE
Fuel Testing Laboratory Gives
Pleasant Valley Product
Good Send-0ff.

The mines of the Pleasant Valley dis
trict, Utah, annually produce about half
a million tons of coal, or more than half
the entire output of the state, according
to Joseph A Taft, one of the biologists
of the United States geological survey,
whose report on the area has just been
published in the surveys bulletin No. SO.
The Pleasant Valley district lies at the
junction of the Book cliffs and Wasatch
plateau, in Carbon and Emery counties.
extending westward from Castle Gate and
southwark from Scofield through the val
leys of the west fork of Price river and
Huntington river. The main line of the
Rio Grande Western railroad crosses the
coal-bearing rocks at Castle Gate. and a
branch connects the mines in Pleasant
Valley with the main line at Cotton.
In the Book cliffs proper, which ex-
tend eastward from the vicinity of Cas-
tie Gate. and in the eastern edge of the
Wasatch plateau, the geology is simple,
the rocks lying almost flat, and the coal
measures being admirably exposed in the
bold and. for the most part bare edges
of the cliffs. In Pleasant Valley, how
ever. near the north end of the Wasatch
plateau, and in the canyon of Hunting
ton river Immediately to the south, the
surface features are smoother, especially
in the more elevated parts, though deeply
cut into canyons and gulches.
Here the edges of the coal-bearing
rocks are concealed in a large measure
by covering of soil and weathered rock.
Vegetation is also more abundant here
