mines AND MINING

Work will be resumed within the
next ten days at the property OF the
Eva Mining company in the Mount
Nebo district, twenty miles east OF
Tintic.
Production last week from the mines
of Tintic amounted to total OF llI
carloads. This is estimated at 5,S50
tons, valued at S150,O00. 1t is com
pared with 10 carloads for the pre-
vious week.
Approximately 5000 tons Of good
mill ore is the tonnage left over ana
now ready to be treated by the new
mill of the Daily West Mining company
at Park City. The mill will be com
pleted by the end of the week.
The new ore body on the 500 level
of the Mammoth mine is producing a
very nice tonnage, the output from
this one section of the property being
better than fifty tons day, says the
Eureka (Utah) Reporter. The ore
carries gold, silver and copper.
Directors of the Homestake Min
ing company have declared the regu-
| lar monthly dividend of 50 cents, pay
able October 26 to stock of record Oc-
tober 20. The Homestake has already
this year distributed nearly $1,00OO00
il dividends and has record Of more
than $32,0O0,000.
The teams that have been used in
hauling the ore from the Chief Con
solidated mine to the railroad have
been taken off and the ore is now be-
ing sent from the mine over the new
sidetrack which has been completed
from the Denver & Rio Grande's main
Tintic branch.
| Minnesota far outranks all other
states in the mining of iron ore and
during the last four years has con-
tributed both in quality and value
considerably more than half the iron
ore produced and marketed in the
United States, according to the United
States geological survey.
California was first in gold produc-
ton in 1918, with 979174 ounces,
Colorado second with S57,057 ounces,
and Alaska third with 735,364 ounces.
Nevada led in silver production, with
1857, 400 ounces, Montana was sec
ond with 12,54O000 ounces and Utah
third with 11,2S2,S00 ounces.
People of Utah and other great
western mineral states are inclined to
the impression that eastern states will
not compare in annual mineral pro
duction with the west While Utah's
yearly output is about $50,O00,000 that
of Ohio is 1921 100000, and Minneso-
ta's iron alone amounts to $3.50, 100000
For every 1915 worth of products
raised by the farmers of the United
States the federal government contri
butes to agriculture 81 and for the
coming fiscal year the federal govern
ment has contributed $24,000,000 fol
agriculture. while for the entire min
ing industry less than a million has
been appropriated
In 1913 the recoverable lead con,
tent of the ores mined in Idaho
amounted to 15S,936 short tons, valued
at $13,9S6,366, against 142,093 short
tons, valued at $12,7SS,355 in 1912
Idaho ranks second among the states
in the production of lead ores, it's out
put of this product being exceeded by
that of Missouri.
When work was resumed at the
Thompson-Quincy Mining company
property at Park City on September
%, 1t was found that a cave-in mad
occurred in the interim ON one of the
levels which had been yielding good
shipping values. This has been
cleaned up and resulted in the saving
OF five mine cars of first-class ore
from the loost dirt.
The mineral product of chief value
in Idaho according to the United
States geological survey, is lead
which forms about 60 per cent of the
states total mineral production. hav
ing somewhat more than twice the
value of Idaho's silver output. which
ranks second among the states min
eral products The total value of the
mineral products of Idaho increased
from $2l,Si6.S90 in 1912 to S24. 1865, S2f
in 1918.
