Since 1912 Output of Copper
Has Been More Valua-
BILE Than Coal.

ASHINGTON, d. c., Nov 19.-Un-
w iii 1912 New Mezico was one of
the two states in the Rocky
mountain region Wyoming being the
other, which lay more claim to recOg-
milton as mining states by reason of
their production of coal than by their
output OF precious and semiprecious
metals, according to a statement Of the
United States geological survey. In 1912,
however owing TO marked increase
in production, the value OF the re-
coverable copper content of the ores
mined in New Mexico exceeded the
value Of the coal mined.
The increase in the copper prOduc-
ton was due principally 10 the opera
lions OF one company mining with
steam shovels a large acreage of low
grade deposits at Santa Rita In
1911 the recoverable copper content
Of the ores mined in New Mexico was
4,05I, O40 pounds, valued at 500, 1856
in 1912 this product amounted TO a.,
030,964 pounds, valued at $5,615, 109,
the quantity in 1912 being approx
mately II times and the value
more than IL times that OF 1911. The
coal production increased from 3,14S,-
158 short tons valued at $4,525, 1925, to
5,536,S24 short tons, valued at So
O37.O51
The Ration district produces a cox
ing coal of good grade, and extern
sive coking operations are carried on
at Dawson. Gardner and Koehler. The
bother commercial mineral products OF
the state are gold, lead, silver, zinc,
stone, clay products, fluOrspar,
gypsum. iron ore, lime, mica mineral
waters, salt sand and gravel. gems,
and vanadlum minerals The total
value Of the mineral products Of New
Mexico increased from SS,176.229 in 1911

DOES AWAY WITH
TIMBER EXPENSE
Superior 6 Boston Fills in
With Waste AS Ore
Is Extracted.

n a IAMI, ARIZ., Nov. I9.-At the
MI Superior & Boston the most
notable of changes instituted
since superintendent Tinker assumed
charge of the property Is the manner
of doing away with the exuense Of
timbering as the ore is extracted from
the ore body between the 500 and
500 levels. Formerly the ground was
timbered as the ore was stopped up
ward, but by the new arrangement the
only timber to be used VIII be that
required in the raises that will be
kept open between the levels as air
channels and means of extracting ore
and drawing down rock broken in de-
velOpment work above.
As the ore is extracted along the
extent of the body the waste will
be filled in behind and whatever
more rock needed for complete filling
will be sent down through the raises
as the development and exploration
work above the 500 is carried for
ward Through this manner of obviat-
ing necessity of timber to hold the
stopped section the operating costs will
be reduced to very marked extent
Raise Being Lifted.
a ralse IS now being lifted from

reached the level Of the present Slope

To Operate Test Mil.
The Inspiration Consolidated prob
ably viii begin operating Its new test
mill December J. However. this de-
ponds greatly upon electric power and
water. An eight inch pipe line has
been laid from Wog's ranch to the
mill, but no water as yet has been
turned into the line. The power is
dependent upon the osevelt-AIiani-
Superior transmission lire, now in
course OF construction, and it is not
certain that the wires will be at the
inspiration plant at the required
time.
The mill will have a daily capacity
Of 500 tons It will be so constructed
that the method Of treatment may be
as often as desired.
viii Employ Many Men.
