courageous men they were and there
were other rescuers, equally as ccur-
ageous ready and waiting to take
their places in the ranks.
"The bravery of the miners has
never been questioned. There has
never been time when more volun-
Iteers than needed did not respond.
There has always been rescuerer TO
step into the vacant place in the
ranks. And when the rescuer goes II
his death, he is not spurred on by mar
tial music, the roll of drums. the crack
of rifle fire, like the soldier Of war.
There are no volleys of cheers to nerve
him to the ordeal. His Is the grim,
silent, desperate task in the darkness
of the bowels of the earth. His in
centive is the consciousness that he Is
performing the highest duty that is
possible for fellow man. And unlike
the battlefield, the world thrills for a
day over the heroism and the sacrifice
of the hero and then forgets him
There are no battle anniversaries to
quicken the memory of the world as
to his feats, no camp fires of the veter-
an survivors to live anew the valor Of
the dead hero"

Butte Is not the only district that
produces copper from mine water.
From the two working shafts Of the
Penn copper mine. Calaveras county,
California, a total of 10000 gallons Of
water is bailed daily. This averages
Is pounds of copper per 1000 gallons.
1t is run through IA boxes, 9 Of which
are 2 by feet and are l by 2 feet
in section, having the common length
of 100 feet with fall of inches in
each length These are filled with all
kinds of scrap iron and refuse from
can factories on the coast. The copper
is precipitated on this scrap. The
boxes are cleaned once month, the
large scrap being lifted out and the
finer material put through a 16-mesh
screen. The precipitate is dried,
sampled and shipped to an eastern re-
tlnery. 1t averages 70 per cent cop
per, and the monthly yield is tons,
all produced at low cost.

MINERAL PRODUCTION.
Figures Showing Enormous Increase
in the United States.

The value of all minerals produced
in the United States in 1912, accord
ing to figures just compiled by Edward
w. Parker, statistician of the U. S.
geological survey, reached the record
breaking total of s2,243,63o.326 This
is more than six times the value Of
the production in 1882, 30 years ago,
During that period the population has
not quite doubled, but the per capita
output of the mines has increased
from 1927 to $23.47.
During these three decades the val
ue of the output of some minerals has
made a striking increase The value
|of the pig iron product. for instance,
has increased from 1o6 million dollars
to 420 million dollars; copper from 16
million to EOS million dollars; gold
from 80 million to SO million dollars
lead from ~ million to 81 million dol
lars; zinc from LAG million to 695 mil
lion dollars; petroleum from "a million
to 1853 million dollars; natural gas
from $215,O0O to $S4000,0o0, cement
from $3,600,000 to $69,000,000.
Still more striking illustrations Of
the growth of the mineral industry in
the United States are the figures show
ing that, while in 1880 the total min
eral product of the United States was
valued at 1854 million dollars, in 1912
the value of the pig iron alone was
42O million dollars, while the value Of
the coal production for 1912 was near
ly double the total mineral output OF
80 years ago In 1880 the value Of the
mineral products was approximately
million dollars a day; in 1912 it was
over million dollars a day.
