"Heat and light as such do not

NtVADRS METAL PRODUCTION

Gold and lead were mined in
diminishing quantities in Nevada
during the year 1913, according to
the Geological Survey, hut there
vas an increase in the output of
silver, copper and zinc. Ncvaia's S
yield from all ores sold or treated
during The year total the maGnifi-
cent sum Of $36, 900. What n
great industry mining has come to
be in Nevada is proven by these
figures:
"rhe mine production of gold
decreased about 10 per cent from
Sl3,i56. $50 in 1912 to $l2, ,O72, 900
during the year just past" says C.

AN increase estimated at Is per
cent in the Nyo County production
of gold from SO, ,935 in 1912
to $3,G02, 1853 in 1913, is due to the
large tonnage of silver ore treated

PROGRESS IN METALLURGY

Substantial improvements has

forward. As has been the case in
recent years the cyanide process
was tic most important in point Of
quantity and value of metals rccov-
cred. Its use was extended to the
treatment Of n, greater variety Of
ores.
The use Of aluminium ms pre-

NO MORE so GENT PIECES

According to the treasury de-
partment the half dollars of our
daddies, fixture of our currency
from time immemorial is in dis
favor. None have been coined the
past year, as those on hand amply
supplied the small demand. One
reason given is that the so cent
piece is confused with the % cent
coin.
Considering the decided differ
ence in size this does not seem to
account for the change. Possibly
the preference for small coin is an
unconscious rental outgrowth of
the struggle against the high cost of
living.
Small units of money may have
some tendency toward economy. A
traveller recently returning from
France where currency is based on
the franc of about 20 cents, said
that the size of the unit so affect
ed her that she felt much less in
clined to spend fve franc than one
dollar. with nice clean franc in
my pocket | feel almost as if it
were dollar at home," she said.
An article of clothing for so francs
would seem prohibitive but 10 dol
lars would have seemed very reas-
unable.
An abundance of small coins and
bills saves much waiting for change.
The people who deal with trades
men at the door often find them
unable to make change and the
housewife. never gets too many
dollar bills and small coins.
Many small services must be paid
for out of the pocket. Every
traveller knows the advantage of a
pocket full of coins in meeting
with the clamor for tips.
The mark in Germany, the shill
ing in England the Ira in Italy, the
franc in France. coins varying not
more than five cents from our
quarter. are the very backbone of
daily commerce in Europe. Our
20 cent pieces seem to fall into line
with these as the normal unit of
small change, and the half dollar
seems as needless as the old two
cent piece. .-Ex change.
