With an increase of more than
l04 per cent, the mine production
Of lead WAS larger than in any
other year. The total output was
nearly 100000 pounds, valued at
about $4,000. as against 6,SO6.443
pounds. valued at 100000 in 1912
The mines at Bisbce produced much
lead ore and in 1918 there was a
large increase. The Shattuck mine
became 4 regular producer of silver
lead ore as well as copper ore. In
Mohavc county an increased ton
mage was shipped regularly from
the Tennessee mine to the concen-
tration plant at Needles. Cal.
The mine production OF recover
able spclter was about o,1OO,OOO
pounds. valued at $4,000. which
was an increase of about $4,000
pounds, or nearly per cent over
the production of 1912. On account
Of the lower price paid for the
metal, the total value decreased
more than 100000. The Golconda
mine in Nohaye county. formerly
the largest producer, was making
shipments OF zinc ore and couceu-
tratcs only part OF the year, and,
therefore, had a eready decreased
output Mach orc was, however,
shipped from the San Xavier mine
in Pima county and much con-
centratc was made from Mohave
county ores millcd at Needles.

New Plants.

Included in this estimate of cop
per produced are the outputs OF
the Miami. Ray, Arizona Copper,
and Detroit mines. The Miami prod
uct did not greatly exceed that OF
1912. The 5000 ton concentration
plant was active and the product
went mostly to Cananea, Mexico.
The International Smelling & Re
iuiug Company will build a copper
plant at Miami to treat this ore
and that from the Inspiration Minis.
Test plans using the flotation proc
esS were operated at the Miami
and Inspiration, as the saving BY
concentration alone Is not sufficient.
The Ray Consolidated Copper Com
Dany greatly increased its output.
from nearly 36.O0OGO0 pounds +
copper in 1912 to about 5000
eco pounds in 1913. treating 6C00
tons Of ore per day. Production
from Yuma and Pima counties was
not what it could have been. since
the Swansea and Pioneer plants
were operated only a few months.
At Globe greatly increased ship
mcnts were made from the Super
Tor & Boston, Iron Cap and Black
Warrior mines. and in Pinal county
from the Magma mine.

The mine yield OF gold in Ari-
IONA in 1918 was more than l9l,-
GOO ounces, an increase OF ; per
cent over the output Of 1912, which
was lSI .9969l fine ounces. OF this
total, over y per cent was taken
from siliceouS ores and most ri
the remainder came from copper
ores. which are undoubtedly the
source 81 the increased gold output
in 1913. The three largest produc-
ing gold mines were the Tom
Reed. Gold Roads and Nulture.
The Tom Reed output was about
the same as in 1912. the Gold Roads
had 4 slight increase. and the Vul-
ure a substantial increase. In
Yuma county operations were re
sumcd at the Ia Fortuna mine.

Silver Production.
The mine production OF silver
increased about 8 per cent, amount
ing to more than 5775,000 ounces.
against 3.490.3S7 ounces in 1912
Most OF the silver was derived from
copper ore. but. in 1918 the increase
IS due largely to shipments Of lead
ore and concentrates from Cochisc
and Mohave counties. Much silver
ore comes from siliceous orc.

Faithless President and Party

Woodrow Wilson and the Demo-
cratic members fthe House of Rep
resentatiyes were elected upon a
platform which, among other things,
said:
/ We favor the exemption from tolls

Yesterday the House of Represen-
tatives. by vote of 24S, to 1872, there
being 24o Democrats voting with the
majority, passed the Sims bin, which
repeats the exemption clause in the
canal act. This was done under the
whip and spur of President Wilson
and at his specific request, translated
into a demand.

The merchants of Fairmont have

sNowonder they are all succeed
ing, and no wonder their trade zone
is growing wider every day and every
year.
No city in the state is reached by
as many miles of traction line IL

this city the logical trading center

GOOD WORK AT pARKERsBURG

Parkersburg has Just held the sec

over 500 votes together with two
of the other commissioners, and nc
doubt all of the old commission
would HAYES been reelected had not
two OF the commissioners declined to
stand for II second term.
Parkersburg is a Republican city
but Mayor Murdoch is Democrat,
but political lines were not consid;
cred in either of ibis elections.
There's n reason.
Petersburg sIhasnt tho simplificd

eminent, providing for non-partisan
election. The candidates run in a
primary for the nomination without
party distinction, using no party
emblems on the ballots and two men
are thus nominated for each office to
be filled. After the nominations are
made the ballot is made up in the
same non-partisan manner. with no
party tickets or party cmblems
So Mayor Murdoch ran on his rec
ord and not on his party strength
which he very largely overran.
In the primary he was ably sun
ported by one of the Republican
papers of the city and his admins
:ration was warmly commended by
The other Republican paper. At the
:ity election his campaign was very
argely made by the Dispatch News,

1t is said that the last administra-
Ion was so conducted that party
strife never entered into the max

in the city service.
Parkersburg made phenomenal
record In advancement during the
Murdoch administration In the three
years just past. parkersburg is to
be congratulated upon having n
charter that brings about no partisan
conflicts and one under which /.
member of one political party can
be elected to Office by the votes OF
the opposite party without making
questionable political combinations.
1t is mot so much in the form of
city government as the way It is
administered. Mayor Murdoch has
