MINERAL PRODUCTION OF TEXAS
VALUED At OVER THIRTY MILLION

tons, valued at $4,2SS.92O, against
2~.1SS,612 short tons. valued at So
655.744 in 1912. Texas is the only
state in the union that produces
considerable quantities Of both BIZ
luminous coal and true Ignite, or
brown coal.
The only other mineral products
of Texas which contribute as much
as 1000. 900 to the total value are
asphant, cement, clay and natural
gas. The manufacture of Portland
cement in Texas is an industry
barely five years old at the end Of
1918. The value of the cement pro-
duced in Texas in 1913 was $685.
O63, an increase of over $500 900,
from $2,O62 124 in 1912. Raw MI.
terials for the manufacture Of &C.
ment are ahCndartly dis ributed
throughout tho state. The present
operations are confined to four
plants, two near rallas and one each
at San Antonio and Fl Pasc
The value of the natural gas pro-
duced also showed a substantial in
crease. amounting to $2,073,823 in
1913, against $1,405,077 in 1912.
The asphalt produced in Texas. which
is principally residue obtained from
the heavy asphaltic oils, amounted
to 122,O26 short tons in 1918, val
ued at $1,97O,354. In addition to
this a small quantity of natural as
phalt was produced.
The only mineral products of any
Importance which did not show an
increase in value in 1913 over 1912
we're gypsum and salt. The decrease
in the salt production was due to the
destruction by fire of n Of the salt
making establishments at Colorado.
Other mineral products of the state
are limestone. granite. copper, gems,
a small amount of gold, from ore,
lead. lime, mineral waters. quick
silver. sulphur and zinc. Sulphur
operations, with methods similar
to those employed at Sulphur City,
La, were begun at Bryan Heights, in
Brazoria county, in 1918.

HOSTING
FORTY TONS DAILY

Since the recent gales have so
thoroughly cleared the Seven
Troughs Coalition mine OF
gases. the property has resumed
work under full pressure and seven
ty men are now being employed In
the various underground workings.
Forty cars Of ore are being taken
out daily which will average around
500 a ton, and the mill is being
operated two shifts to keep up with
the production.
The Bird winze, which is being
sunk through the heart OF the ore
shoot, is going down at a rapid
pace since the installation OF the
auxiliary hoisting plant on the 1900
level station, and will soon have at
tanned sufficient depth to admit of
breaking ground for the 1900 level
station. This winze has been in ore
its entire length and shows a fine
vein of very rich ore at the lowest
point.
The south drift, 1900 level, shows
four inches on the footwall assay
ing 1918; fourteen inches in the CEN
ter assaying 1898, and six inches
against the hanging wall assaying
$447. Between these different
streaks is a vein filling closely IN
terlaced with small seams all run
ming very high. The entire width
of the vein from wall to wall Is ever
eight feet.
The north drift, 1900 level, show
ed a disposition to pinch for a few
feet, but has again opened to a
three-foot vein of ore.
An exhaust fan, to be used to
force pure air to the lowest levels
of the mine, is being placed in posi-
ton and will loon be in operation.
Other underground improvements
noted are the replacement through
out the 100 level by heavy track
rails for the 8-pound rails, which
are too light for the constant traffic
to which they are subjected, and
the installation of a passenger skip
in the Friedman Wine to facilitate
the handling of the large force of
miners to and from their work. =

MASON VALLEY SHELTER
WILL NOT CLOSE DOWN

There has been a persistent rumor
in this community that the Mason
Valley smelter at Thompson is to
month. This rumor is circulated by
those. evidently, who want to see the
institution closed. The Times has it
from the very best of authority that
the company has no intention Of
closing the smelter so long as ore
enough to pay running expenses can
be obtained. and the amount of ore
will have to be cut down consider
ably before that happens. The out
look for better prices and cash set
Elements for copper is better today
than it has been for some weeks past.
1t is hoped the situation will con-
tinue to improve. If the copper
situation comes to such a pass that
the smelter has to draw it's fires it
will be a hard blow to this section.
Those who persist in closing the
smelter every few days can be con.
sidered as knockers rather than
boosters. A good word and an opti-
mistic view always helps to inspire
confidence. and when the smelter
closes is time enough to bewail the
situation. To be sure the outlook is
not as bright as it might be, but it
will do no good to be a calamity
bowler. We are better off in this
community than are the people in
any other part of Nevada, and those
in many other states. Quit your
knocking and be a booster. If the
country don't suit you, get out of
it, or try and make things better
here.-Yerington Times.

tests in which his team took part:
The Individual star Of the contest

Ever since the inception OF the

The high school series is nearing its
end, There are but three moro con-
tests scheduled. and of these only one
is of much Importance. Business Is to
play Tech, Central Is to meet Eastern
and Western. OF these, the contest
between Business and Technical is the
one that will be of general interest,
as the Stenographers have the only ag-
gregation that will get an opportunity
to stop the Manual Trainers In their
rush to another championship.
Business won from Eastern by a score
Of 10 to 0 yesterday and Technical de-
feated the Light Blue and White by 9
margin of only 1S to 0, yet the Manual
Trainers are undoubtedly stronger than
Business by a bigger margin than that
chances are that Business will not be
able to stop Tech, though 1t may put
up a splendid battle against much
more powerful combination physically.
Business and Eastern gave very
good exhibition of foot ball in their
contest Of yesterday. The Light Blue
and White performed in a manner that
was very creditable. despite its defeat.
Both teams played spirited and ag-
gressive foot ball. giving evidence, of
having been well coached and having
players who knew more about the
game than ordinarily are seen In
scholastic contests.
If there was one star OF the contest
it was Culligan. quarterback on the
Business eleven. His work in directing
the play Of his team was very good
and his running was also of an excel
lent character. He showed ability to
advance the ball himself that was ex-
ceptionai.
