With the cutting off of impOrta-
lions OF many mineral products the
United States geological surveys
list of mineral producers becomes an
important source of public informa-
ton. In response to specific in
quiries addressed to the director of
the survey at Washington, concern
ing the location of mines of any kind
tributary to any particular market,
extracts can be furnished from this
list. The list is not a published one,
as it includes about 90 1000 names
and addresses of producers and is
constantly being revised, the changes
each year amounting to 25 per cent
of the list. 1t can be largely utilized,
however, is reply to inquiries from
consumers of mineral products.

The assessment roll of Esmeralda

the board of county commissioners,

ably lower some assessments as a
result of protests, the total valua-

reduced to a small extent.

better condition, according to E. l..
Godbe of the Ohio-Kentucky and one
of the directors of the Amalgamated
Phoebe. who has recently returned
from the mine. superintendent H.
r Van Wagenen has been pushing
the development work, and a consid-
cradle of ore is blocked out
at present.
The No. 1 shaft has been retim-
bered under his direction, large
humps installed, and the shaft has
been sunk from the 1900 to the 14O0
foot level. A strike was made on the
12OO-foot level when the black ledge
was struck, which is producing ore
of the first class. On the 400 level
a crosscut was run to cut the black
ledge. which has been drifted on
for $50 feet. The width Of the ledge
is vet to be determined. Ore Is be-
ing broken, the first-class shipped
and the second-class saved for the
mill. Under the direction Of Super
intendent Van Wagenen the mine
has been opened up and the cont1nu-
ity of the veins proved. and the mine
at present is in shape to keep the
mill supplied with ore.
The ore carries values in lead, sill

is of such a nature that it will re-
spond readily to concentrates by the
ordinary gravity processes. other
larger and more valuable ore shoots
on the black ledge or Yuba dyke, as
it is more commonly called, are ex-
pected to be opened up in the near
future, due to the mine being I'M

METAL

OF the metals and metallic ores
the United States has been both an
importer and an exporter. Our i'm
ports of iron ore are double u ex-
ports, whereas of metallic copper we
export nearly twice as much as we
import. The general rule, how.
ever, probably is that the imports Of
manufactured or partly manufac-
tured metals largely exceed in value
the pres and crude metals brought
into this country for domestic manu-
facture, and in our exports a some
what similar ratio exists between
crude material and manufactures, SO
that there is presented a double OPP
%portunity for increasing the scope
and extent of our metal industries
for both domestic consumption and
export. Far too much American
metal crosses the Atlantic in the
crude or semicrude state only to
come back to us in various manufac-
tured forms. Bulletin 500, U. s..

At the regular annual meeting OF
the Flake Mines company of the
Jarbidge mining district the COM
pany acquired the water rights OF
William G. Menking Of Jarbidge on
Bear creek and will develop the wa
ter power for running a mill to be
placed in Jarbidge canyon. Accord
ing to measurements made by James
Johns during the low season and
with a very inexpensive installation
SIS h.. D. can be obtained with a
1280-foot head.
Tentative plans are being consid-
cred for the erection of an amalga-
nation and cyanide plant. The ore
developed within the past two years
consists of approximately 600 tons
above the tunnel leveA With an aver
age value Of $33 per ton. A winze
sunk fifty feet below the tunnel level
indicates that the VEN encountered
compares very f%avorably in values
with the ore lying above the tunnel
level.

deposits Of clay suitable for brick
manufacture are found in nearly
every part of the state. Paper clay

of pottery clay have been developed
in various parts of the state.
The quarry products. consisting
principally of granite and marble.

LEONARD CREEK CAMP
is LOOKING BETTER

E. w. Tregaskis and c. w. Culton
were arrivals in town Saturday
from the Leonard Creek section of
the Pine Forest range. They stated
that many ~prOspectors were de-
velOping their properties there and
that good showings in both quartz
and placer ground are being made in
almost all parts of the district. They
said that it was a common sight tt
see men cleaning up shallow bed
OcK and using oiG-fashioned rock
ers as in the early days of California.
From what they saw they are salts
fled thai placer gold is distributed
over a large area of territory. They
also stated that Quincy Gordon, who
is associated with a Mr.. Garrett, has
returned from Reno, arriving in
camp by way of Jungo, and good
things are looked for in the Cove
Creek section of the Leonard Creek
district. Messrs. Gordon and Gar
rett, who are successful southern
Nevada mining men, have uncovered
what has the appearance of making
into a very large quartz mine. 1t is
understood that late samplings of the
property proved very satisfactory to
all concerned. The finding of this
great quartz showing is one of the
results occasioned by the finding of
placer gold by Messrs. Moffet, Alley
and Rose on what is known as.Tepee
creek. in another section of the dis
trict. At the present time the own
ers OF this property are running a
long drain tunnel to unwater their
ground, which has already been
proven by a number of shafts to be
exceptionally rich in placer gold

Texas, the largest of all the states
in area and fifth in the number Of
inhabitants, ranks nineteenth in the
value of it's mineral production, &C
cording to the United States geologi-
cal survey. In each of the last two
years Texas advanced two numbers
in the rank of mineral-produc1ng
states. In the percentage of its in
crease in 1913 over 1912 Texas was
exceeded by only one other state
its northern neighbor, Oklahoma
which, on account of the sharp ad-
vance in The price of petroleum,
showed a gain in value of m1nera
products of nearly so per cent. while
Texas showed an increase in value OF
$50 per cent-from $22,797,015 In
1912 to $31.666,910 in 1913. In
Oklahoma the increase in 1913 was
due to the advance in the price OF
one substance; in Texas the increase
was made in the output of all the
products which contributed material
" to the total value, but especially,
as in Oklahoma. in the production
of petroleum. Texas ranks second
in the production of asphalt and
third in the production of quicksil-

CHANCE FOR CEMENT MAKERS

American manufacturers have not
yet made the most of their oppor-
tunities to establish greater export
trade, according to George Otis
Smith in Bulletin 500 of the United
States geological survey. Statistics
show that the export of cement from
England. Germany, Belgium and
France not only have been consid-
erably greater than those from the
United States. but have horne a
much higher ratio to the production
in these countries. The quantity of
cement exported by France in recent
Years is estimated to have reached
at least % per zen Of her pro3u,-
ton, and that of Germany about II
per cent. There are few cement
plants in South American countries,
and in the past these countries have
been supplied mainly from Europe.
There is evidently an opportunity
now for the cement industry of the
United States to ecu this trade.
