John r. Cook, manager Of the
Mendha mine. returned Tuesday
from Salt Lake where he spent
a week on business and during which
time he arranged with the smelters
to ship an increased tonnage OF ore
from the Mendha when the railroad
is ready for traffic again.
The bins at Mendha are filled to
oveiflowing with shipping ore and
until It is out OF the way operations
at the mine are necessarily handi-
capped. Mr.. Cook is endeavorinE to

MINES GIVE RAILROADS
THE GREATEST TONNAGE

Just quarter of a century ago
our annual mineral output was only
$ioO, 900 ,OOe Wielders OF the pick,
pan and shovel have since steadily
boosted the amount skyward. until
in 1907 the production reached the
%, ,050, 100000 mark. The year 1893
suffered decline, but 1903 added
few more millions, and the next
year or so will see two and half bill
lions.
In tonnage comparisons with other
industries a clearer idea of the extent
to which the mining industries have
grown can be gained. During the
year ending June 30,1907, the total
+ eight of mainline origin carried by
4 railrof DIS was 89S.l84,972 tons,
or this tottS the products Of the mine
amounted. to 76,S99, ,6aS' tons, or ap-
preximately 5S.4 per cent. Properly
added to this is the item of manu-
factured mineral products, such as
petroleum and other oils, bar and
sheet metal iron, pig and bloom, ce-
| ment, bricl and lime, ETC., amount
ing to 76,2S2,9S1 tons, giving grand
| tai of over 553 900. 900 tons, or ap-
proximately 81 per cent Of the total
.ailroad traffic. This is against
about 34O,0O0,00O tons furnished by
all other industries combined, such
as agriculture, forestry, livestock and
/ OH ort; ;ola, of rnopI,fo ot rra othar than
manufactured mine products. Fol
Purposes of clearer distinction il
! + ould b. stated that manufactured
mine products do not refer to the fin
ished articles made of the minerals
and metals; it embraces only those
raw minerals and metals extracted
from the rocks by treatment and re
duction processes which resemble
manufacturing.
/ But a more striking parallel may
he drawn. During the same periot
approximately 1000 miles of Of rail
road were in operation in the Unitet
States; subdividing this mileag'
among the different industries in pro
portion to the tonnage furnished b,
es ch we find that some $4,000 mile
sre engaged exclusively in haulin
mineral products, and about 5000
miles are hauling the products Of al
other industries combined.
Still another comparison Two IN
lion freight cars ran over these road
carrying their freight; 1,240,000 wer
exclusively handling cargoes of mir
eral producers, end 76n.Oft cars sa
isfied all other purposes.
The railroads were then employin
come 1,e75000 men; of these abou
,0i7 TOO were concerned with train
exclusively handling mine product
and $50, coo filled all other needs.
