NEVADA THIRD IN
GOLD PRODUCTION

Washington advices give the gold
production of the United States in
1911 as $96,233,52S, and the silver
production 57,796,116 ounces, accord
ing to preliminary estimate issued
by George +. Roberts, director of the
mint. This is reduction in gold of
about $4,000 and in silver of about
100000 ounces, as compared with 1870
Among the states and territories
the principal gold producers were:
California, $20,510,59S; Colorado,
$19, 9,513,S60; Nevada, $1S,96S, ,57S;
Alaska, $l6,002,976; South Dakota,
81, 7,43o,367 Utah, $4,709,747; Mon
tana, $3,16S, $40; Arizona, $2,954, ,79O,
and Idaho, 81, ,l69,261.
In the order named, Utah, Montana,
Nevada, Colorado and Idaho led as
silver producers.
The net amount of gold and silver
used in the industrial arts was ap-
proximately $34,000,000 gold and
26,000,00 ounces of silver The coin
age of the mints was gold, $50, ,176,-
s22; silver, $6,5s0,30l; nickels and
coppers, $3,156,726. Total, $65,79O,-
$50 The net gain in the country s
stock of gold coin, including bullion,
in the treasury during the year was
close to $l00,000,000.
The directors report gives the
final figures for the production of
gold in tn eworld at $454, 900.
The director also made a prelimin-
airy estimate ON the world IS produc-
tion in 1911 of gold, at an increase of
100000
Australia showed a continuance of
the decline which has been persistent
since 1903, the loss in 1911 being es-
tablished by the director at nearly So
100000.
These three grand geographic divis-
ions produced nearly $i00,000,000 and
the gains and losses in other produc-
ing countries probably Offset each
other.
Although gold production continues
to increase, the increase was at a
diminishing rate and the director ex-
presses the opinion that there is
nothing to indicate a repetition of the
phenomenal gains that were made
between 1890 and 1899 and between
1901 and 1905. They were the result
of the discovery of new fields in Trans
vaal.
The only country shown with sub
stantial gains is Africa and the Trans
vaal field is nearing its maximum.

mining EXPERTS
VIEW OF NATIONAL

An experienced mining man, friend
OF the Mining Review, who has made
quite an extensive examination and
study of the great National mine at
National, Nevada, has the following to
say regarding his impressions:
"rhe general formation is rhvolite
and andesite. The vein is irregular
with occasional splits. The ore occur
renee, however, is in punches at ire
gular intervals; and small lunches at
that. But, when these lunches occur,
they are so rich that they make one
sit up and take notice 1t is the
only mine that has come under my
notice and observation in which the
term massive could be applied in de-
scribing the occurrence of gold. The
gold is taken out in chunks and
nobules, and the immediated surround
ing material is taken out and designat.
ed as 'second-class But. in any 9th
er country this second-class would be
called first-class; and mighty good ore,
at that. The balance of the vein car
ries very slight values, if any.
The management slopes every foot
of the ground. The National is sim
ply a high-g grade mine, and it would
be too unsafe, even, to leave the small
est of blocks untouched. The ground
cannot be prospeeted by the ordinary
method Of blocking out, as one might
easily miss a fortune by foot. Here
the entire vein must be broken down.
This is the greatest gamble in mining
! have ever seen or heard of. There
seems to have been a complete separa-
tion Of the cold and silver values from
the iron. antimonv, arsenic and what
ever other minerals occur in the vein
And the gold and silver have been
into practically pure
state by itself. As a matter of fact.
nature has done mighty good job of
concentration or separation of the min
eral; piece of good milling practice.
have concluded that no engineer liv-
ing could form an accurate estimate of
the value of the property. 1t is sim
ply phenomenal ore occurrence, or
freak. This is the condition. What the
mine viii disclose at depth is a great
guess. On the lower levels the iron oc-
eurs in greater bodies, and throughout
the upper levels the vein appears to me
to have undergone a very strong leach
ing action, leaving q possibility for the
occurrence of a zone Of precipitation
at or below the permanent water level.
Taking all signs into consideration,
believe that this condition may posi-
bly, occur. | admit, however that 9th
ers have taken contrary views. OF
course, | regard the matter from the
freak condition existing here. -

SELLING NATIONAL
FOREST STUMPACE

The government is ADVERTISING for
bids on large body of timber on the
Tahoe national forest, in California.
with an offer of terms which inauou.
rate an important departure from the
policy of the past.
About 73 million board feet Of saw
timber is offered for sale, with To-
year period for the removal of the tim
ber The national forests contain q
vast supply of merchantable timber,es-
timated at the equivalent of over 500
billion feet board measure, a great
part of which is ripe for the ak or al
ready overmature. In many cases,
however, the purchaser has to make
very heavy initial investment in trans
portation facilities. To have this pay,
he must be able to figure on large
operation, requiring number of years
to carry through.
The timber sale of the forest service
recognizes that, in view of the gen.
eral upward tendency of stumpage
prices, long contracts based on pres
ent prices would be strong incentive
to speculation, and might turn out to
be highly disadvantageous to the pub
lie. To protect the public, as consum
ers, against monopoly prices and also
against exhaustion of local supplies
through overcutting, sales of timber
are carefully proportioned to the ex-
listing supply and demand, and sales
to small purchasers, who are vastly in
the majority, are encouraged. To pro-
tect the public, as owners, against
sales at what may prove to be too low
price, it has been the policy in the
past to allow no operations extending
over more than five years. A plan has,
however, now been dvised for allowing
longer operations, with periodic re-
vision of the stumpage rates.
At the end of the first five years of
the Tahoe sale the price to be paid for
the timber cut in the following five
years will be determind by the prices
of lumber which have ruled in the To-
cality during the preceding year.
Since it is recognized that present
stumpage prices are rather high in
proportion to present lumbey prices, If

ducing staates, viii probably show a
decrease of about 100000, pounds
from the production of 22l ,462 900
pounds in 1910. This decrease can be
attributed to tn relatively low price of
copper, which caused some companies
either to suspend operations or to
produce below their maximum capaci-
ty. No unusual developments took
place in the state during the year,

The production of copper in Utah
in 1911 will show a decided increase
over the output of 125, ,lS5, 900 pounds

Bingham district, though the Tintic
district contributed an important
amount and the Frisco district made
larger production than in 1910.
