TWO T|NT|C MINES
POST DIVIDENDS
Iron Blossom and Grand
Central to Distribute $685.
600 to Stockholders.

Directors OF two Tintic mines met at
Provo Yesterday and declared dlvi-
dends.
Iron Blossom declared the regular
quarterly dividend of 10 cents a share,
aggregating 100000 This Will be
sent to stockholders on January 26, the
transfer books closing January II.
With the payment of this dividend the
company will have distributed to its
shareholders profits to the amount OF
Sl,S77, 900 and tho company is carry
ing cash surplus in excess OF $780,
900. Tho recent report from the mine
is to the effect that it is in excellent
physical condition, with ore reserves
ahead to last it moro than year.
Grand Central directors posted the
quarterly dividend OF ) cents share
Checks will be mailed to stockholders
on January "a, and the transfer books
Will close January 90, This dividend
amounts to S25. 900 and brings the to-
tai disbursements made to stockholders

YEAR 1913 WAS GOOD
ONE FOR PARK CITY

The year 1913 was the year of the
development Of rich ore at the camp
of Park City, says the Record. Though
shipments were lower they gained in
quality what they lost In quantity, says
the Deseret News. At the American
Flag q large high-grade vein was de-
veloped from which the company
shipped 100000 worth of ore and placed
about four times as much in sight
Some of this ore went as high as 500
ton. At the Silver King Consolidated
an unusually rich body was opened up
at a depth OF 1850 feet in the shaft
which was sunk to the 1900 foot level
during the year. The development
work that is being carried on at the
property will shortly place it in the
class OF regular shippers from the
camp. The Silver King Coalition also
opened up an immense body OF high
grade ore that made it the second great
est mine in Utah. During the year
it paid $3.50, 100000 in dividends and a
judgment of 100000, The Daly-Judge
opened up large body Of high grade
ore and the DAILY West placed much
ore in sight. The Thompson Quincy
became a new shipper from the camp.
In spite OF advances made there are
always setbacks. Among those at
Park City this year were the New York
and the Wabash. The former decided
TO quit work after spending many
thousands of dollars in development,
but finding no large ore bodies. The
Wabash has been idle for several years
and was forced into bankruptcy, al
though it is said that S1,000,000 was
spent on the property.

RAPIDLY LOCATING
URANIUM DEPOSITS

When a well-known prospector Of
this community went over into the
Skull creek country few days ago to
locate uranium and vanadium claims
he found that all the land for miles
around had been staked out and that
scores Of men were at work, says the
Vernal Express.
This man, whose name has not been
given, is acquainted with all that couu-
try and frequently brought to VeruN
many samples which were tested al
which showed high values. Recently
he interested number OF men OF the
city and they advanced money to pay
his expenses in doing location work. It
is believed that the Skull creek coun-
try, lying to the north Of Rangely, is
rich in uranium and vanadium. The
men encountered By this Vernal pros.
pector had nothing to say in reply to
questions asked by him.

GREEN RIVER BUSY
ON ASSESSMENT WORK

Nearly every able bodied man in this
vicinity Is engaged In doing assessment
work just now. either for themselves or
outside parties and companies says the
Green River Dispatch. Thousands OF
dollars worth OF work IS being done on
mineral as we'll as oil claims
The Cameron uranium GLAZING, about
twenty three In number, are being
worked under the direction OF Dennis
Baldwin. This company alone. II Is esti-
mated, is spending not less than $500 in
doing assessment work on It's locations
here.
Assessment work for the Enan OH com
pany OF Philadelphia has been finished

The year 1914 bids fair 10 be a great
year for this city. ns the Indications are
that development work will be prosecuted

Falling Off in California.

The output estimated by the survey
for California in 1913 was 5,396 TASKS,
valued at $605,525, a decline of 5l2S
TASKS and of $257 500. This was the
smallest recorded production Of Cali
fornia since 1860, when the production
was estimated at 10000 TASKS of 1914
pounds each, valued at $685., 500, and
except for 1860 the value of the output
in 1913 was the lowest since the com
mercial mining Of quicksilver In that
falling OFF in yield from the important
Guadalupe and New Almaden mines, in
Santa Clara county, and it may be
noted here that the increased output for
1912 over 1911 was to be credited chief
ly to the Guadalupe mine. There was
also decline in Sonoma county in 1913,
from the Culver Baer and Cloverdale
mines, where the loss nearly equaled
the output for 1912, and there were
small decreases in Trinity and San Be
nito counties. The famous New Idria
mines Of San Benito county have de
clIned slightly in output for the last
two years but remain the LARGEST pro-
ducers in America and produced nearly
half the entiro output Of the United
States in 1913. In Fresno, Mana, Santa
Barbara and Lake counties there were
gains, chiefly in the Helen mine of Lake
county, and in San Luis Obispo county
there was a notable increase at the
Oceanic mine, where, it is understood,
considerable ore bodies have, been de-
veloped. No new furnaces were report
ed to have been erected In California
in 1918.

Imports and Exports.

Exports of quicksilver from the Unit.
ed States for the calendar year 1913 are
estimated, from the records Of the bu.
reau Of foreign and domestic commerce
of the department of commerce, at s2,-
442 pounds (1099 flasks), valued at SAL.
1872. In 1912 the exports were 23,2SS
pounds, valued at $13,360, and in 1911
they were 2l,S41 pounds, valued at sl3,-
995. The imports entered for consurnp-
tion are estimated for 1913 at 152, ,375
pounds, valued at $66,943, against 49,
700 pounds, valued at 1920 in 1919,
and All ,944 pounds, valued at s251 1886,
in 1911. The greater part of the i'm.
ports for 1913 were received in the last
half of the year, and the above esti-
mates may prove too high, as exact rec.
ords are available for only the first nine
months Of the year.

Supply.
FROM CALIFORNIA

The domestic production Of quicksil-
yer in 1913, according to preliminary
figures collected by Il. D. McCaskey Of
the United States geological survey,
from the individual producers, was 10,
6S1 TASKS of seventy-fve pounds each,
valued, at the estimated average San
Francisco domestic price for the year
of $39.33, at $774,054. A comparison of
these figures with the final published
survey figures for 1912 shows a decrease
Of $3.50 TASKS and Of S279,Ss7. This is
the lowest recorded output since 1860
and the lowest except in three years
since 1850, when the commercial pro-
duction OF quicksilver began in this
country. There were twenty'three mines
reported productive in 1913, however,
against twenty in 1912, and, outside OF
California especially, new prospecting
and development were active, and the
output in two of the three producing
states increased IN 1913, and gives prom
ise of further increase in 1914. As was
indicated in the preliminary review OF
the quicksilver industry published by
the survey one year ago, the reported
gradual decline In output from some OF
the larger ore bodies, especially In Cali
fornla, and unfavorable market condi-
tions resulted in the decrease for 1913.

Production in Other States.

No production of quicksilver was re-
ported from Oregon, Utah or Washing"
ton in 1913, or from any of these states
or Arizona in 1912, but an output Of
the metal was reported in both Mar
icopa and Yavapai counties in Arizona
in 1913, in the Quartzite district and
in the Mazatzal mountains, respective
ly, Development work has been under
way at the latter locality especially,
where extensive surface showings have
been found and brisk mining has begun,
and four.p retort was in operation
on the Sunhower claims at the close Of
the year. In Nevada there was an
actual decline IN output Of nearly so
per cent from that Of 1912, but more
interest and activity in quicksilver min
ing were indicated in this state in 1918
than in any other state in the country.
In Humboldt county considerable devel~
opment work was done in American,
Coronoda and Eldorado canyons, a num-
Der Of promising new finds were report
ed, plants were erected or improved,
and a small output is reported from
several producers. In Mineral county
important new finds were reported in
the Pilot mountains, thirteen miles east
of Nina, considerable number of loca-
tiops were made, and development work
has been in progress. In Nye county
the Mercury company continued produc-
tion near lone, though with decreased
output, and the Nevada Cinnabar com
