BIG PRODUCTION
OF COAL IN OHIO

All previous records IN the coal
production of Ohio were exceeded in
1918 both in quantity and value, not
withstanding that Goa mining opera
tions, like all other industries OF the
state, we're seriously interfered with
by an unprecedented i~nundation in
March and April of that year, accord
ing to E. w. Parker OF the United
States geological survey. Mines were
flooded and the transportation COM
panies we're practically out OF bus1-
ness throughout a good part of the
state for more than a month, so that
the possible production was cut down
probably 5000, 900 tons. In spite OF
this interruption the production, in
creased from the previous maximum
output of 34,52S,727 short tons in
1912 to 36,200,627 tons in 1913, a
gain of 1,671,9OO tons. The in
creased value was $2,S64,695, from
s37,OS3,363 to $3~9,94S,05S and
the average value per ton showed an
advance of 3 cents-from SLOT in
1912 to $1.1O in 1913.
Although the spring floods caused
many of the mines to remain idle for
a month or more, the average num-
Der of working days made by the
employees was 200 days in 1918,
against POI days in 1912, and the
average production by each man en-
ployed was 100 ons for the year, as
compared with 75S tons in 1912.
This gain in individual prouction was
due in large part to the larger pro-
duction of machine-mined coal, in
the proportion of which to the total
tonnage, Ohio stands well at the
head among the coal-prOducing
states. In 1913 3~2,642,S4S tons, or
9O.2 per cen of Ohio's total prOduc-
ton, was mined by machines. The
Increase in machine-mined tonnage
was 2,604,O17, or 932,117 tons more
than the total increase. At the pres
ent time Ohio enjoys the excellent
record of having less than 4 per
cent Of the total output reported as
shot off the solid, or predetermined.
Electrically driven chain-breast ma
chimes far outnumber all other types
of machines in the Ohio mines, as
out of a total of 1851 machines in
use in 1913, 1,421, or nearly IS pei
cent, were c~hain-breast. Short-wall
machines are growing in popularity,
as indicated by IN increase in their
number from LOG in 1912 to 1877 in
1913. The number of long-wall ma
chimes increased from 2 to II, and
the number of pick machines de-
creased from IT to Sc.
Reports to the United States bu-
reau of mines show that the coal
mining fatalities in 1913 numbered
165 against 1873 the previous year.

NEW DISCOVERY MADE
BY PERCY GARDNER

Bringing the news of the discovery
of a deposit, believed to be potash, or
some kindred salts. in a new district
some IS miles south of Elko, Percy
Gardner arrived in Reno Saturday
night with samples OF the deposit,
says the Journal. The samples will
lie analysed and Gardner will soon
know if he has amassed millions
during the past week.
Gardner. with George w. Callahan,
the Amedee wool buyer, and Bert
Ricketts, and Frank Daniels of Elko
visited the scene of the discovery
several days ago, making the journey
by automobile. A plumber of loca-
tions were made and the party re-
turned with samples for analysis.
The deposit is a chrystal forma-
ton, covered with a white powder,
and was originally discovered a short
tine ago by a cowboy while hunting
cattle in that vicinity. The district
is several miles in extent, and should
1t prove to be a potash bed, or some
equally as valuable saline deposit.
the locators will be in a position to
amass an easy fortune.

DECISION is RENDERED
BY ATTORNEY GENERAL

Attorney General Thatcher has
sustained the contention of the Tax
commission relative to the increase
in assessment Of the mining indus
try of Nevada and has handed down
an opinion that "the depreciation is
not a legal deduction from the value
of the gross yield of mines for the
purpose of determining the net yield
for assessment and taxation" says
the Carson Appeal.
The tax commission has instructed
the various assessors py wire today
to collect 60 per cent of the actual
net proceeds of all mines in the state
and to treat the net earnings of mills
owned by the mining companies as
net profits of the mines. This ruling
increases the revenue rom mine as
sessments about 80 per cent over
that of 1918; that is. assuming that
the actual earnings of the mines are
the same this year as they were last
year.

STATE METALLURG|CAL
WORKS FOR COLORADO

State metallurgical works are pro
posed and a petition is being circu-
lated calling for the submission to
Colorado's voters next November of
a constitutional amendment bill
that, if enacted, will establish a $4,-
900, 900 bonded Indebtedness against
the state. The funds so derived are
to be used 'to promote the general
prosperity Of the state by construct
ing and operating two state ore mill
ing, smelling, sampling and assay
ing plants and works, and one state
ore milling, smelling, refining, radi-
um extracting, sampling and assay
ing plant in the state of Colorado, to
be used for assaying, sampling, mill
ing, smelling, refining or otherwise
treating the various ore of the
state"
The bill provides for the creation
of the state smelling commission, to
consist of the governor, attorney gen.
eral and state treasurer, with two
other members whom these three
shall appoint. One of these appoint
ees must be a skilled supervising en-
gineer, while the other must be a
skilled metallurgist and assayer.
Each skilled official will receive a
salary of $1,000. The only remain
ing salaried official provided for in
the bill is a secretary at $4,000. All
officers and employees are to be al
lowed legitimate travelling expenses.
Bonds will be required from all per-
sons holding responsible positions.
The commission will have power to
build, lease or purchase plants, and
activities must start within 80 days
of the enactment. A sinking fund to
retire the bonds will be derived from
a 5 per cent royalty to be charged on
the net value of all ores treated, and
for this purpose met value" is defin-
ed as the amount remaining after all
transportation and actual treatment
costs have been deducted from the
gross value of the ore treated. When
all bonds have been cancelled, the
royalty charge will be discontinued.
Sites for the proposed plants are
Denver. Pueblo and Durango. All
materials, equipment and supplies
must be purchased within the state.

CONCENTRATION METHOD
SUITABLE TO THE ORE

Because one ore can be success
fully treated by a process of concen-
tratiOh is no reason for assuming
that another ore a be treated
equally successfully by the same por-
cess. Each ore presents separate
problem that must be carefully stud
led before a method of treatment is
decided upon. The primary object of
concentration is to separate the val
liable constituents of the r from
the gangue matter to lessen the cost
of transportation Or to facilitate
further treatment. The process by
which the desired results aret attain
ed most efficiently and most profit
ably is naturally the one to be Sc
lected. There are few ores mined
that do not require concentration in
some degree, or at least which could
not be more advantageOusly treated
if subjected to concentration. Con-
centration is then an indispensable
step in the treatment of most ores.
1t might be termed a backbone of the
mining industry. for mining, unlike
vertebrates of the animal kingdom,
has many backbones. not the least
important of which is concentration.
The low-grade disseminated copper
ores, which are now yielding largely
in the red metal could not have been
successfully treated except by the aid
of efficient concentration. In fact,
almost all copper r is subjected to
concentration preliminary to smelt-
ing.
Concentration and separation are
the only methods of treatment that
have been so far applied with any
degree of success to the so-called
complex ores, but that is a field that
is still open to conquest.
Recent years have witnessed con-
siderable progress in the field of con-
%centration. The principle of flota-
ton has been applied with marked
success by several inventors. The
electromagnetic and ele~ctrostatic pro-
cesses have been applied successfully
to the treatment of certain ores. Dry
concentration Is applicable to the
treatment Of some ores under certain
conditions, and there are several dry
concentrators that are successfully
competing with wet machines.
There are still many problems in
concentration to be solved, but the
cases of failure and inefficient work
would be fewer If processes al
ready in use were always intelligent
ly selected and applied. - Mining

LAND OF

The outside world has but little
conception of the great wealth of
the republic of Mexico. and it is pref
ty broadly limited that it is the men
who have been struggling to control
that wealth who have made all the
existing troubles for the Mexican peo-
pie. says the Clifton, Arizona, Copper
Era.
There are bankers in Germany,
France, Spain and England, into
whose Golfers much of the wealth of
Mexico has been steadily pouring for
the past 200 years. There are mines
in Mexico that the New York stock
exchange never heard of that have
yielded more than a billion dollars
each in the past fifty years.
More than a billion dollars was
taken out of one mine in Guanajauto
in twenty years. This single firm of
Hernandez, consisting of three broth
ers. who came poor boys to the coun-
try from Spain, is said to be as veal
thy as the Rockefeller family in this
country.
There are more than 1000 families
in Mexico whose wealth runs from
$1,000. 900 to $50.00O,O00.

ITINERARY OF MINE
RESCUE CAR NO.. 5

The United States bureau of mines
rescue car No. 5 is at Washington
state college. 1t will proceed next,
according to announcement ISSUED
by H. M. Wol1in, mining engineer
and state inspector of the California
Industrial accident commission and
bureau of mines, to the University of
Idaho to give training in mine res.
cue and first-aid work to mining
students. The car will then proceed
to the eBar Creek and Red Lodge dis
tricts, in Montana, after which it
will 20 to Nevada.
The tentative itinerary in Nevada
is as follows: Copper Flat, near Ely,
June 20 to 27; McGill, June 29 to
July 5; joint Ely and McGill ma
neuvers, July 4; Virginia City, July
6 to IL; Goldfeld. July 10 to IS;
TonOpah, July 20 to Aug. %
While the car is at Tonopah the
crew will visit Manhattan, July 27
to Aug. 1; Blair, Aug. 3 to 8; Won
der, Aug. 10 to IS; Fairview, Aug.
II to %. 1t will then proceed to
Reno and Sparks, Aug. "a to 20.
On completion of the work at the
University of Idaho, Mr.. Boardman,
the first-aid miner, will proceed to
California to give first-aid instruc-
ton in some of the mining camps
which are remote from the railroads.
Boardman will probable be sent first
to the southern part of the state,
where he will visit the following
mines: Tumco and American Girl
near Yuma, Dale and vicinity, Alto
liza. R%andsburg, Skidoo, Tropico
mine and Mojave Consolidated. He
will probably be setn to the Mother
Lode district. where he will visit the
mines at Plymouth, Amador CITY.
Sutter Creek and Jackson, after
which he will visit other districts
where there are mines at some dis.
lance from railroads. If there are
districts in which the services of
Mr.. Boardman are particularly de.
sired. applications to have him visit
them should be made to the indus.
trial accident commission. Under.

GEO., W|NGF|ElD TO BUILD
MODERN CREAMERY PLANT

The Churchill Creamery, incorpo-
rated, has outgrown its present quar-
ters. When here last week George
Wingfeld, the principal stakeholder,
authorized Manager e. j. Kelsey to
proceed with the plans of building a
modern creamery plant that will be
the finest within the state and one
of the most complete in the west,
says the Fallon Standard.
Plans are now in formation by the
creamery management. They include
the erection lear the railroad track
upon real estate yet to be acquired
of a plant that will enable this COM
pany to manufacture cheese and 9th
er dairy products, in addition to but
ter, which will continue to be the
leading product. The innovation
will entail the expenditure of from
$4,000 to $4,000 and it is esti-
mated that it will be ready for the
installation of the company's already
complete equipment of machinery BY
September l.. This will mean that
work will be commenced shortly.
The building will be constructed
of reinforced concrete and will not
only be fire proof, but will be SAM
tary and a model of convenience in
it's every detail. A refrigerating
plant will be included within the new
creamery that will have ample ca
racity to allow of storing the cream
ery's product. The manufacture of
ice as a branch of the business may
occur at a future date.
From the time the Wingfeld in
terests acquired the local creamery
last September it's growth has been
rapid and the markets absorbing the
increased production have moved
along in harmony with the output.
Fallon's fancy butter output now
leads in many of the state markets,
and the time seems rapidly approach
ing when it will lead all others in
every part of the state. About 500
cows are now being MIXED for this
creamery, and there has never been
a dearth of market facilities. The
only bane attaching has had to do
with the decreased butter fat prices
which have occurred everywhere in
the west. In this connection it is
hoped by the creamery management
that the pendulum will swing the
other way shortly.

BIG IRRIGATION
PROJECT BEGUN
SOUTH NEVADA LAND & DEVEL-
OPMENT co. WILL IRRIGATE
10000 ACRES

A careful examination of the six
notices of application for permission
to appropriate the public waters of
the state of Nevada, filed by the
South Nevada Land & Development
company with the state engineer and
published for the first time in this
issue of the Age, will give one a par
tial understanding Or the irrigation
projects planned and under way in
this valley, says the Las Vegas Age.
The notices of themselves do not ap-
pear very significant until read in
connection with a map of the valley.
The company, under the manage
ment of Peter Buol, has inaugurated
the work if putting down between rs
and so artesian wells, the number
depending upon the flow secured. The
largest we'll previously drilled in the
valley is IL inch. Mr.. Buol has ship
ped in a carload of 18-inch casing
and the necessary drilling bits for 49,
inch wells and will hereafter put
down wells of that size.
The water from these wells will be
conserved in large reservoirs in some
instances, and conveyed by about II
miles of main canals and between rs
and 80 miles of laterals, to the lands
to be irrigated.
The area for which Mr.. Buol ex-
poets to furnish water comprises be-
tween 5000 and 10000 acres of the
choicest land in the valley, which has
been gradually secured by Mr.. Buol
during the past ten years.
To be able to sell lands with a
guaranteed water right will solve the
problem of populating the Vegas
valley. The remarkable productivity
OF these lands when furnished with
plenty of water and brought to Z
proper state of cultivation will at
tract men of means who will quickly
change the character of the land
scape.
n capital for carrying out this
big irrigation enterprise Is being FUR
n1shed by English and Scotch CAPT.
tallsts, thanks to the far seightedness
of Mr.. Buol who has been for wears
laying the foundation for this work.
The work will be pushed to compile
ton as fast as good judgment will
allow and Las Vegas may soon be
enjoying the agricultural growth and
prosperity to which for several years
sne has been looking forward.
