MINING BUREAU
DID NOT OMIT
ANY PROPERTY

WASHINGTON, March 20.-"The
statement that statistics had been
suppressed is false, because there
has been no suppression" is the re
ply of the director of the census. W.
j. Harris. TO charges published in
these dispatches that valuable figures
relating to mines and mining and col
lected al a cost OF thousands OIL
dollars have been suppressed by Dr..
T. Dana Durand's successor.
The original story Of suppression OF
census statistics and the intimation
that politics had something To do with
the trouble stated that Data on the
metailiIerous mines of Colorado. ON
the copper mines in Michigan, on the
lead and zinc mines in Missouri, and
ON smelters and refiners which would
be of the utmost value because they
would show the cost OF production.
wages, prolts and losses, based upon
authentic information secured from
the mine operators themselves. were
practically thrown away by the new
census bureau administration. Di-
rector Harris, in setting forth the bu-
reaus position in this matter, says
Such detail analysis for certain
branches of the mining industry was
not prepared in form ready for pub
LEGATION, and from the manner in
which the work had been conducted
| was satisfied that there was no pos
sibility OF this analysis being ready
for the printer within reasonable
time Furthermore the report ON
mining as prepared before assumed
charge of the Office contains the fol
lowing statement These data can
not be taken as showing accurately
the amount OF profit or loss in the
coal mining industry of the several
states, but they do seem to indicate
clearly that in many States the in
dustry obtains only very low rate
Of, profit if any. In view OF this
statement that the figures as collected
by the bureau of the census did not
show accurately the amount OF profit
or loss. it seems to me that they were
not worthy OF a detail analysis, and
that the bureau was justified only il.
publishing the financial statistics that
had been reported by mine operators
This has been done carefully. accu-
rately and conscientiously.
