AustraIia's Decrease in Gold.

"The latest returns from Australia show that the production of gold in that commonwealth and in New Zea. land suffered decrease of llS,75 ounces for the first half of this year as compared with the correspondny period of 1911. The tendency for many years past has been toward a de- creased output from the Australian gold fields. The output of the United States IS about stationary, while it is generally estimated that Mexico has fallen behind in it's production in 1912 and 1911 on account of disturbed politi- cal conditions. It is to South Africa. therefore. that we must look for any addition to the supplies of the precious metal. So far this year the Rand dis. tricts have made a handsome expan. sion, although the rate of improve. ment here is not so great as at times in the past" says Financial America
 ''In fact, it is by no means certain that the world can rely upon such phenomenal additions to It's gold sup. ply as were characteristic of the earlier years of the Rand's develop. ment. In the meantime the industrial

Electric Power for Mines.

Every mining camp in the wes, should be able to secure electric power for the operation of it's mines and mills. No matter if fuel for the generation of steam power is abundant and cheap, the application of electric power is cheaper, more convenient and more reliable. In the absence of wood for fuel or when a long wagon haul is involved where coal has to be used, many good mining properties are compelled to operate at a very close margin of profit, or to close down altogether, unless the ore is exception ally high in grade. In the west, where the use of electricity is becom- ing 50 common, there are still many camps which have not, as yet, been supplied with this convenience, this necessity: and the mines of these dis tricts can show any amount of 6S, 10S, l2S and even l5S and POS ore, which cannot be handled and treated at a profit on account of the high cost of fuel for power-generating purposes. And yet any of these camps could be supplied with electric power, although ten, twenty or forty miles from some stream where this power could be generated. In the west, today, there are a number of camps which are practically idle because of the fuel and power problem; and, the mines of these camps can make a showing of thou sands upon thousands of tons of ore which could be handled at handsome profit if cheap power could be secured. There are many mines in these dis tricts with quarter of a million blocked out in their workings which are now idle. but which could be operated successfully by the installa- ation of an electric power plant at a cost of from 5,OOO$ to O,OOOS.
 It seems strange that opportunities of this character are not more quick ly recognized and seized upon by capitalists and investors. A 4O,OOOS- plant would not only supply electric energy for one mine. but three or four, and the industrial feature of such an enterprise in considerable; as such a plant could also be used for manu- featuring purposes in valley towns, and an extensive lighting system inaugurated, as well.-Salt Lake Min ing Review.

Attractions of the Fair.

The commission has decided upon several attractive features which have been under consideration for some time. One of these is Dr. Carver's aggregation of diving horses, one of them to be ridden in the fifty foot dive by 'the girl in red," a most thrilling performance. Another attraction will be Queen the diving dog.
 A contract was also closed with Professor Abbott of Denver, for three racing balloons The three balloons will be in the air at the same time d from each at the same time para- chute Jump will be made. The captive balloon of course will be feature as in the past.
 One of the most attractive of the features secured is the "Haywagon Rubes," consisting of an aggregation of tum blers and other artists dressed in rural costume of a pronounced type. They will perform surprising and fun. ny stunts in front of the grand stand.
 These, with features previously de- cided upon, will constitute six most spectacular attractions which will be worth far more than the price of ad mission to the fair. It will be such a collection of features as have never been witnessed before at one time any where in the southwest, or for that matter, anywhere on the Pacific coast.
 The foot racing events were also de. cded upon. Invitations are extended to amateurs to take part in events of from one to five miles, the winner in each to receive a handsome medal. There will also be a modified Mara thon of fifteen miles in which there will be at least three contestants and it is expected that worlds record will be broken. The runners will be Harry Mclean, the Pima, a .Hopi h. dian and Zuni from Gallup, N. M.
