MINING, BUSINESS AND STOCKS.
LEAD PRODUCTION
OF UNITED STATES
In Spite of Shrinsagc in 1905 the Out
put for Year Was 20 Per Cent
or Worlds Total.

Washington. Dec 14.-Although the
United States was the greatest loser
among the nations in the 1905 produc-
ton of lead. nevertheless, it turned out
in that year 81 per cent of the entire
worlds output, This is the statement
In a report by the United States geo
logical survey on the production OF
lead In 1908. Missouri. the leading
producer showed an increase In the
amount of the mineral mined. while
the three next states. Idaho, Utah and
Colorado. showed reduced production.
The geological surveys report on the
production OF lead in 1905. prepared by
c. E. Siebenthal. shows that 396, ,43S
short tons was produced from foreign
and domestic ores and base bullion
during the year, or 17.T56 tons less than
IN 1907 when the total product was
4l4,1S9 tons.
Missouri, the leading producer, show
ed an Increase in the quantity of lead
mined during the year as compared
with that mined in 1907. The three
Colorado-made largely reduced pro-
ductIon, or the smaller producers,
Wisconsin. Nevada, Montana. Kansas,
and Oklahoma made gains In output.
PRICES.
The year 1908 opened with lead at
$50 cents pound, but the price stead
lily advanced until August, when 1t
reached 4.625 cents pound, and then
declined steadily to z15 cents, the
price at the close of the year. The
price of lead during the eight years
from 1921 to 1903 has ranged from 355
cents to cents q pound.

ton in 1908 among the Iead-minIng
countries of the world the United
States nevertheless produced 81 per
cent of the worlds output of lead
The production of lead from foreign
and domestic sources from 1926 to 1905.

{. [. GODBE RETURNS
FROM P|OCHE CAMP
Resumed at the Consolidated
Piochc Property.

| Manager Ernest l.. Godbe. OF the
| Prince Consolidated mine at Phoebe
came up from camp this morning after
spending about week inspecting the
mines in which he is interested, es-
pecially the Prince Con. and the Con-
solidated Phoebe Mines company, the
latter being recently formed by the
consolidation of the Nevada Utah and
the Ohio Kentucky properties.
During his stay In camp Mr.. Godbe
gave orders that work be resumed in
the Greenwood shaft on the latter
property. This shaft was sunk about
800 feet two or three years ago but
little or no exploratory work has been
done from the shaft. The property
has, in fact. been shut down for about
two years, Work will now be resumed
at the depth of approximately 400 feet
where the shaft penetrated body of
sulphide ore, which though large is
low grade. a force of men will now
be put TO work exploring this ore body,
and IN order to facilitate this work ar
rangements have been made for the in
stallation of compressor. which is
now being moved from the Jack Rab-
bit district. A small force of men will
be put to work at present but Mr..
Godbe expects to increase the number
OF men as occasion demands
AT the Prince Con. everything is said
to be looking first class. The tonnage
In the mine has been greatly increased
during the last go days by the ex-
tensive development work which has
been done. During that time two shifts
have been constantly engaged in block
ing out ore on the different levels above
the boo level The big compressor has
furnished air for from six to eight ma
cnine drills constantly. and all the
drifts run are said to be still in ore.
the quantity of which Is said to be
immense. the character of which is a
low grade iron 1uxing ore, CARRYING
some values In the precious metals
A few sample cars of ore have been
shipped as test, but the mine is not
making any extended shipments at
present.
The feeling in Phoebe at the present
time Is reported to be optimistic. A
great deal of work is being done. and
the feeling is general that better days
are III store for the old camp in the
near future

The cry of Alaska is being heard. The sound is reaching the East "as the voice of one crying in the wilderness, prepare ye the way" for the kingdom of self. government is at hand. They have set rulers over us who have scourged us with lashes. Our hearts have been troubled and by the waters of the Yu- kon we have sat down and wept. We stuck knife into few of them before we sat down to weep. We asked for home made bread and they gave us 8 carpet bagger. We have made gold bricks without straw. The voice of lamentation is now stilled, for our de- livery in congress is being heard. The East is taking up our cause and on all sides the press is heralding our griev- ances. The dawn of political liberty is breaking, and behold! joy cometh in the morning.-Bert Howdeshell in Ketchikan Miner.

AIaska's Gold Output

Reports from different sources unite in the prediction Shat the the output of gold from the Tanana country will be the greatest ever known, and these predictions are made at time when the truth is fairly easy to ascertain. There is no longer any labor troubles in the camps; the supply of labor IS fully equal to or in excess of the de mand; the dumps are the largest the camps have ever seen, fully one third larger than last year, and the outlook is for an abundant supply of water, so that all of the dumps can be cleaned up.
 With all of these favorable condi- tions, there is good basis for the claim that the output of the Tanana this sea- son will be between S12O0O,0O0 and S13OOO,OOO, the probabilities favoring the higher figure. The pay average is reported 10 be better than last season, which is another point making for greatly increased output.
 With conditions as they are, there is prospect for three more prosperous seasons in the Tanana country under the present system of placer mining. Large hydraulic plants will have many years of work before them thereafter, and before the three years roll around some of the numerous quartz prospects which are making favorable showings now will develop into paying and per- manent mines. The interest taken in the development of quartz properties was never as keen as it is at present.
 There is one thing to the advantage of the development of quartz proper ties in that country. If the showing is good, the holders of prospects will not have to hunt around on the outside for capital to develop them. The prosper ous placer miners at home will be able to produce all of the capital needed when they are shown good thing. It is this fact which encourages the belief that the new quartz era on the Yukon is fairly at hand and that permanent mines will be opened in number before the placer deposits approach the ex- haustion period.-P.-I.
