Ohio Leading States.


The United States in 1903 turned out
Sos, O52.2 07 worth Of brick and tile manu-
features. Every State and Territory in
the Union contributed TO the totals. but
Ohio led all others with products valued

Premier Ore Producer.

Treatment of Lovy-grade Ores the
Main Features of Year.

Colorado Springs. Colo. Jan. Z.-The
Cripple Creek district, during the year
1900. maintained its reputation as the
worlds greatest gold mining camp
with a production OF 1883 tons Of
gross bullion value Of SIS, 4.1136a. This
brings the total production Of the camp
since its discovery, in 1891, well past the
quarter OF q billion dollar mark. Com
pared TO the production Of 1905. as est
mated by the State bureau OF mines. 1873
shows an increase Of $2.s1S,Is7. The aver
age value Of ali ores subjected to treat
ment was S21-45.
During the year dividends o. record
amounting TO Sl,100.551O5 were paid by
seventeen companies. as against nine in
1858. In addition 20 dividends Of record,
profits Of the close corporations were be
tween $4,000 and $4,000. while the profits
OF the leasing companies approximate
l,009,O00. Between 800 and $500 miners
were continuously employed. the pay roll
for the year being $4.0l0OO0.
Leasing Operation Is Feature.
The main features Of the year were the
extension OF leasing operations. the
steady progress Of the deep drainage tun-
mel, rich strikes on the lower levels in
dicating future possibilities OF deep min
ing, and the discovery and adoption OF
methods fer the treatment OF Iaw-grade
ores, with the consequent increase in
the activity Of mills within the district
The solution Of the l0w-grade treat
ment may almost be spoken OF as an
/ accomplishment Of the year 1908 three OF
the biggest producers. the STATIONS IN
I dependence, Limited; the Portland, and
the Golden Cycle. taking the lead IN
perfecting methods. As a result millions
OF tons OF ore heretofore considered OF
too low a value. now lying on the dumps
and in abandoned workings. will be con-
verted into gold.
Deep Tunnel Near Completion.
The drainage tunnel VIII be completed
within the year. according TO present IN
dications. It VIII drain the camp az a
depth Of 200 feet below the present water
level. and competent mining men are Of
the opinion that this big hole will pro-
long the life of the camp many years
and add tens OF millions Of dollars 10 the
worlds gold supply.
The production Of the entire State OF
Colorado for the year 1903 in gold, silver.
