GOLD AND SILVER
N|N|NCFOR YEAR
IN UNITED STATES
Report on Production by the
Geological SurveyNor-
NAL in Most Of the
States.
Capital News Special Service)

Washington, Jan. 9.-The gold min
ing industry of the United States was
generally normal in 1912, according TO
IL. p. McCaskey of the United States
geological survey, but early figures in
dictate the smallest production since
1907, when the output was Sa0,435, 100.
In 1908 the output increased to 1850,
600, in 1909 to $99.6TS.400, in 1910 it
dropped TO s96,269,100; in 1911 1t in
creased slightly to 96,S90 600, but IN
1912 it decreased to $91,6S5,l6S, accord
ing to preliminary estimates Of the bu-
reau of the mint and the geological
survey.
The decrease is to be ascribed main
" to Nevada, where there was fall
ing off of about $45000o0, chiefly from
Goldfield, and to smaller degree from
National and Seven Troughs. The great
Goldfield mines produced more ore
than in 1911 but the average grade
treated was considerably lower the
min at National was burned in Sep
tenlber, and production was delayed at
Seven 1roughs by a cloudburst in july
ON the other hand the Manhattan
Round Mountain and Eairview districts
somewhat increased their yields, a
decrease Of 100000 to S400.0 900 is also
indicated for Colorado. where. although
there was an increased production
from cripple Creek of about S5O0,o00
owing partly to successful drainage by
the Roosevelt tunnel, and an increase
in gold output also from Gilpin county,
there was an estimated decrease IN
production Of about $1,000, 000 from the
San Juan region, including the coun-
ties OF Dolores. La Plata, Ouray, san
Juan and San Miguel. The bulk Of the
decrease, however, was from the Camp
Bird Mine, in Ouray county, as the out
put Of san Juan and Dolores counties
increased. In Utah and Washington
decreases Of gold output Of 100000 TO
100000 are indicated In Montana
there was probably a smaller decrease.
Normal in Idaho.
The production of gold was normal
IN Alaska, Arizona, Idaho and New
Mexico. ana there was a somewhat In
creased output i'll California and Ore
gon The year 1912 was most prosper
GUS iii South Dakota, where the output
increased about 100000 and was the
largest In the history Of the state. The
great HomestalIe mines, as usual, made
the bulk of the output. The hydro
eleet re plant Of the company owning
these mines, which has been under

construction for several years, was
completed and in operation in 1912.
California retains first place In gold
output, regained from Colorado In 1911.
Gold dredging continued generally
active in 1912, especially in California
and Alaska. where increased dredging
capacity was added. The output from
100 dredges in 10 states dncluding Alas
ka) in 1911 was $10,311,5S9.
In the geological surveys report on
gold and silver for 1911 1t was shown
that of the total gold production "a per
cent was derived from placers, dredg-
ing alone producing 100 per cent; 53.S
per cent was from gold and silver mills
(23.9 per cent by amalgamation. 26.l
per cent by cyanidation. and 3.s per
cent by chlorlnation). and % per cent
from smelling. These proportions will
probably not greatly change for 1912.
except that dredging may be expected
to increase somewhat and the output
from chlorination will continue to de-
cline.
Decline in Prospecting.
A decline IN prospecting has been
noted In several of the western states,
and in 1911 and 1912 there was no not
able discovery Of new ore bodies or
deposits that seem likely to promise
Immediate material increases In the
domestic gold output. The largest pro-
ducers are operating at probably near
the maximum capacity, and, though
steady output from them is assured. IN
some places, as at Goldfield. the grade
Of ore has begun to decline. New de-
velopment and discovery of gold depos-
its will in all likelihood not much more
than offset such decline in grade, or
the exhaustion of older mines. From
present knowledge there Is no great
prospect of an increase In gold produc-
ton of the United States in 1918.
According to estimates made for the
survey by the bureau Of foreign and
domestic commerce. the imports in l9l2
comprised gold valued at S6l, 100000
The gold exported in 1912 was valued
at s4s. 500 600 The excess Of imports
over exports was about $12, 100000
against s20.262, III in 1911 and SAL
600 in 1910. This is a marked change
from the condition in 1909, when the
excess Of exports over imports was

The gold imported in 1912 was main

Canada close second. England
France and Central and South Amerl-
can countries supplied the bulk of the

amounts went to France, South Aneri-

estimates from the mines made by the
western offices Of the geological sur
vey indicate total silver production or
approximately 64.000,000 ounces, or the
largest output in the history of the
country.
This increase in production may be
attributed chiefly to the notable in
crease in the output of copper ores, es-
pecially those of Butte, Mont, which
contain considerable silver, and OF ar
gentiferous lead ores, notably OF the
Tintic and Park City districts, Utah;
the Phoebe district. Nevada; and the
San Juan region and the Leadville and
Aspen districts, Colorado. There was
apparently a small decrease in silver
produced from the great Occur dAlene
lead mines of Idaho. whose ores have a
lower average silver content than for
merly
High Prices Prevail.
High prices generally for silver, cop
per and lead in 1912 materially added
to the profits of production. The av
erage New York price for silver in
January 1912, was 56.3 cents fine
ounce; by May it had risen with va
rious fluctuations to 60.9 cents, by Oc-
tober to 63.5 cents, and the December
average price was about 63.6 cents. The
average price for the year may be talk
en- at 900 cents fine ounce, against SO
cents in 1911 and 1908, 81 cents in 1910,
and So cents in 1909. 1t was the high
est therefore since 1907, when the
average price was &c cents. The year
1912 was one of general business pros
perity, and Buying was liberal in all
metals For shipment to the far east,
especially to India. large purchases Of
silver were recorded
According to estimates made by the
bureau OF foreign and domestic COM
merce, the imports of silver in 1912
were valued at $47,So0,o0o. The ex-
ports of silver during the same year
We're valued at S70,272,000. or S22,472, :
900 in excess of the value OF the I'M
ports. In 1911 the value of the excess
of exports over imports of silver was
s21.91S.o75.
The imports of silver In 1911 were, as
usual, chiefly In ore and bullion, and
came mainly from Mexico and Canada.
The exports were almost wholly in re-
fined bullion and coin, and Went rs
usual chiefly to the United States. al
though large amounts We're also sent TO
France and Hongkong and smaller
shipments to China and British India.
