WORLDS COLD PRODUCTION

At the present rate Of production the worlds geld mines VII produce during the current year the high rec ord figure of almost Si0O,O00, 900. Twenty-Five years ago the gold pro duction of the world was only S100,- 900 GOO. which is something below the Snited States gold output this year, plus the gold from Mexico mines con trolled by American capital. The monetary stock of gold n the world is S5.70o.000.O00. It will be per eeiyed that if the gold production of the owrld goes on increasing at the ratio of the last five years during 12 years the result will be an addition to the stock of gold that will equal the value of the existing gold in the shape of coins.
 The fine arts consume gold to tlss. value of S125.000,000 a year. Taking the lowest estimate of the gold pro duciion for tais year. s3S5. .0O0. 900. 1t

These figres are startling. and they serve to prove that the recovery Of business winch is most evident in countries that control the largest sums in gold. is based upon the steady and increasing vol tune of gold production.

GOLD FEVER PREVALENT IN
 ALAMAC0RDO
Believed That Biggest Discov-
 cry For Years Been Made
 Camp Fires of ProSpectors Clean Along Mountains.

ALAMOGORDA. N. M.. Jan. H. There is much excitement here over recent mining discovery. The finds were made just three miles dde east of Alamogorda, in the foothills, at the base of the Sacramentos
 Every night now the camp fires of the prospectors in the foothills and mountains gleam like camp fires of sentinels of a vast most guarding un- known and unexplored treasures.
 The Alamogorda News says:
 The findings whicn have been made in the last week would indicate that there have never been better pros poets found in the southwest. Every hour sees more men with the gold fever than did the hour before
 The excitement began some time ago, when an old ml:er by the name of Farley, who was working with Mir Gore. found some orOppings which he thought were good. and following them up, he located q lead which he began to work, and developed some mineral which he insists runs hun. 1reds' of dollars to the ton. He tested it in every way possible, and the specls and flakes which he washed out were tried with nitric acid and stood the test They were pounded fiat, aud still looked the part. and Mr Farley still says that he has very rich find A little later Mir. Dunn got the fever. and got out considerable ore and had a number or assays made which run pretty good, up somewhere about S10 per ton. Then came Mir McAdams. who claims he has an as say of S1.70O per ton, made some place in Arizona. and on the first day of the New Year Messrs. Barrett and Geo Aesser found what is called a chimney blowout a little Assure or crack between two solid walls. which was formed there by a volcanic action or upheayel. The gas blew out tho walls. and then the heat be- ing so intense below the gas. kept blowing out, and while the other metals weer burned out the gold set tied on the walls of the rock.
 it Is such Q formation that these men found. and the rack shich forms these two walls is what is at present causing the excitement in this city. The Assure is beside and parallel to blum which is about 300 or 400 feet high. aud just such formation is s4ld To be the richest ever found.

GOT BAD NAME
 BY TELLING TRUTH
Early Arizona ProspectorS Found Experts Skeptical of
 Their Tales of Ore.

The stories told Of the richness or copper ore found in the early days of Arizona history would, says Fitz- Mac. put a competent copper expert of today Con his suspicious against it.'
 Yet 1 believe they were true and that was the trouble. It is the business of prospectors telling too good Q story about tneir copper Gis coveries. II they are true (which no doubt frequently happeneG) they cast doubt on the yal1e of the property
 "lt takes a very competent copper
 expert to lie successfully to we .
 informed purchaser about . copper
 deposit A green-hOrn always makes
 his story too good.
 While rich copper ore ar the sur
 face casts suspicion upon the value of
 the property. it doesn't conclusiyely cCuderan it. If there is enough of the rich ore that is all you want. aLu there is nothing further 10 be said br all the copper experts in the world. But invariably the richness indicaUes l1hat there isn't much of it-and o. that point the richer the worse. n indicates erosion always. but erosion may still have left a valuable Q"a1tl ty. The only safe way for 9 prOspec tor is to prospect the ground be'ore ! he begins to bolier-sink on it-sink half 8 dozen holes and do 500 or 500 l feet Of drifting. and then. if your ore lisn't 'tcC rich to sInelt" {as you VI probably find it isn'0. you may con cluGc yuu'ye got something worth hOl tleriDg about. and yoI can hunt up the ] jug and go on a royal old soak. Ev- l lerybody tries tO fool the honest pros I pcct0r. but (when it comes to copper) nobody fools him as often as he fools himself. 1t is different with gold or 'silycr prospects.

 Hinc ore bodies are found in fhe eicWlng camps in the state of Chi 'uahua: d) Picachos. on tbe Kan gas City. Mexico & Or'eut R.

Nnere carbonate ores are mainly pro iuced. su'phides occurring. but not on . commercial scale: @ Santa Eula- Ia, near the city of Chihuahua. pro 1uces carbonate ore excIusiely: (3) near San Ys dro, on the Chihuahua & Pacific R. R.. where suluhides oulv are produced, and Parral and Santa Barbara, producing sulDhidfs only.
 The zinc ore bodies are found a-- ociated with silver lead mines. and in this way partake of the devcloDment of the latter. although certain mines might properly be called zinc mines "a every case. however. silver-lead pres are those sought for and mined. conservative estimate places the rude z.nc-bearing ores. more or less veil exposed, in the state at 1 ,eO0. 900 tons, namely. Picachos 5O.OO0 tonr. santa Eulalia 100000 tons. San Ysid- TO 200,00O tons, AlmoIoya 5O.OOO tons. Parral and Santa Barbara 600. 900 ons The probable ava lable amount many times this. most of the pres nt mining being at cry moderate depths.
 The carbonate and siIicate ores are T;niEE from g per cent to f5 per cent metallic zine. as broken off. after the 1erest hand sorting. Cris suiphide res will run from 10 per cent to 8 oer cent metallic z'nc The. carbon lte ores always carry trifling mount of slicate. sometimes a little cad carbonate, calcium carbonate and 'rOu minerals.
 The su'phide ores are always com Hex. an dmust. as al present disposed f be niiied- A silyeriead eoncen- rate, possibly carry 'ng some iron and gold, is the marketable prodct always 'rccurable at tae same time as the zine concentrate.
 The mines are in all possible condf Hons Of development. from the sim.

Ore is seldom found at CITE siderable depths. as at 1900 f;.. but In srci case it is reached by high speed first-rnotion hoists. This spec'al case is in a very large and ricl silvcr- lead mine, where the zinc ore may be scid to De a valuable by-7roduct.
 A considerable part Of t.se ore is mined yhand drilling, cut power ills. worked by compressed air from seam or gas engines. supplied with rrcducer gas. are usea in the larger mine< and will supplant hand drilling as Inc mines become dcve'cpcd- Slphide ores present hard and complex milling difficulties. Formerly zinc ores were detriment to suphide ores. The ores being valued for the sil,er-lesd content and d,sposed of to the sncltcrs without removing the zinc were not only losing their zinc value. but were penaiized for its pres ence. but from a dcfriment it is now changed to a valuab1e product conse- quent on the art of separating and utilizing tho zinc portion.
