TONOPAH PRODUCTION 1921 .29O FOR WEEK:
OPERATIONS IN MINES OF THE SILVER CAMP

of ore were shipped in the past week,
approximating $50 tons. Interrupt
tions to shipments occurred through
the hoist being engaged for an en-
tire day in the raising of the pump
from the e1170-foot level, but this
work has now been completed.
The north crosscut on the 1170-
foot level is being continued in ira
chyte formation.
AS soon as pumping operations
commence in the Victor shaft the
sinking of the winze from the 1170-
foot level will be resumed.
Montana
The Montana-Tonopah Mining
company shipped out this week 10
bars of bullion, weighing 1898
pounds,o of the estimated gross value
of $1,000, and 10 tons OF dry con-
centrates. This shows a slight reduc-
ton in output compared with the pre-
vious month due to the fact that for
over two weeks during May the mill
was partially closed down in order
to install the new filter presses in the
cyanide department. but the plant is
now running to full capacity, and
the new filter presses r operating
in a most satisfactory manner.-To-

VALUE Of WYOMING
COAL FOR YEAR 1918

The production of coal in Wyom-
ing in 1913 was i,393,066 short
tons, with a spot value of ~S11,51O,-
GAS according to Z. w. Parker of the
United States geological survey. This
production showed an increase of
24,942 short tens over 1912 in guam
tity, but a decrease of $l3S,043 in
value. This decrease in value. how
ever, is probably not an actual loss.
The output from Sweetwater county,
which produces nearly 40 per e n of
the total, is derived largely from
mines controlled by the Union Pa
cifc railroad, and this portion of
the product is not commercial coal
but is consumed entire.y by the con-
trolling interests. The placing of a
value on it is purely arbitrary and
does not represent market conditions.
In Lincoln county q large part of the
production is also controlled by rail
road interests, and this C unity also
showed a slight decline in the aver
age value, but in Sheridan county,
whose product is chiefly commercial
coal there vas a small advance. Con-
ditions were generally satisfactory
throughout the year, and lot a single
strike or lockout was reported. The
troubles between operators and the
miners union in Colorado benefit
ted Wyoming by an influx of labor
from the Colorado fields and increas-
ed the demand for domestic coal
from Kansas. Nebraska and northern
Colorado.
In 1912 a new county, Lincoln,
was carved out of Uinta county, and
in 1913 the portion of Big Horn
county in which coal IS mined was
made into Hot Springs county. Big
Horn ~ceasing to he a coal-producing
county.
Wyoming continues to maintain q
high record for efficiency in the rate
OF production per man employed. The
number of men employed in 1913
was 1881, who worked an average
of 232 days in the production of u
396,U6 tons of coal.
1t is gratifying to record a de-
creased percentage in the production
OF 'powder-mined' coal. In 1912
2.1SO,O6 tons, or over 40 per cent
of the total. was shot off the solid;
in 1913 that part of the output
amounted to 2, 19,SS4 tons. or not
quite 81 per cent. Another crafty
ing record made by Wyoming in
1913 was a decrease in the number
of fatalities reported by the United
States bureau of mines. In 1912
there were "a deaths by accident
and in 1913 there were 26. due to
falls of roof, falls of coal, haulage-
way accidents. etc. The record for the
year was free of gas or dust ex-
p%losions.

Day-Bristol Consolidated Mining
company, filed his first report in the
district court this week, says the Pr
oche Record. The total amount of
the obligations of the corporation is
$9S,040.40. This includes the cost
of the new aerial tramway, now near
ing completion, which is $41,316.0S.
The matter of the application of
the receiver for the payment of GER
tain preferred claims against the
company, the money for which is still
in the hands of Sheriff Ronnow and
originating from the sale of ores
about the time legal process was
taken against the company, came up
before Judge Taber last Wednesday.
DR.. Campbell, the receiver of the
Bristol Consolidated company. which
is the largest holder of Day-Bristol
stock, ~interposed an objection on the
ground that certain interests had
not received notice of the action
pending until a few days ago. The
court then ordered a postponement
of the matter until June %.
During the past week at shaft No.
1 of the Amalgamated Phoebe Mines
& Shelters corporation, work on the
twelfth and fourteenth levels con
tinued uninterrupted. The west
drift on the fourteenth level, which
is being driven to connect with the
Black Ledge Wine, was advanced a
little more than seventy-five feet in
seven days. This drift has a cross
section of but SKI.
The three raises into the zinc stope
above the twelfth level have beeen
completed and breaking ore has been
commenced. A forty-ton car of good
grade silver-zinc ore was shipped
on the 2Sth last.
The Yuba Leasing & Development
company has made some very graft
flying developments during the week.
ress in a winze from the 9OO-foot
level of No. 3 shaft and on the Yuba
dixie a good showing of ore has been
encountered which assayed $50
ounces silver and three-fourths of an
ounce in gold. The strike was made
under what is known as the old So
called 100000 stope mined in the
early days of the camp. Another
good showing has been opened in the
assure west from the shaft on the
Raymond & Ely fissure-on the 500
foot level. Here is exposed an 49,
inch vein of lead ore assaying about
$40 to the ton.
One of the best pieces of mining
news of the week has been supplied
by Tom McCommac, who has a lease
on the upper 600 feet of the Pana-
ca claim of the Amalgamated Phoebe
Mines & Shelters corporation. A
few days ago McCommac began work
in an old prospect shaft which had a
depth of about fifty feet. After
cleaning out the shaft he began drift
ing on the ledge, and he states with
in twelve inches of where the last
work was done struck a vein of ore
ranging from eight to eighteen inch
es in width from which assays have
been obtained ranging from 1910
to $222.11 in gold and silver. Mr..
McCommac is sacking his ore as it
its broken down.
E. d. Smiley was in from the Com
ct district yesterday for supplies and
reported that the task of charging
the mill at the Silver-Comet proper
ty is about completed and the plant
will be placed in commission within
the next few days. He says that it
will then be possible to treat thirty
tons of ore per day.

Benefit of Roads to NOn-Abutting
Property Owners.

Washington, d. c.. Nov. 4.-The
road building specialists of the De-
partment of Agriculture, in Bulletin
No. 1876, entitled "Highway Bonds
have the following to say about the
benefit of well constructed highway
to property owners whose property is
not directly on the road to be improv-
ed:
In planning the highway system OF.
the main market roads, it will be
found necessary to omit many roads
the Improvement Of which is greatly
desired by abutting property owners
The fact that such property holders
must pay tax for the bond issue is
only an apparent injustice, for if the
highway system is well planned the
entire county will feel the benefits Of
the improvement. AS a rule. man
market roads reach the majority of
producing areas, and when they are
improved all land values tend TO in
crease.
The fact that cities and larger
towns are frequently taxed for bond
issues to build highways outside of
their own limits is sometimes made a
point of debate in bond elections. 1t
is argued that because large part of
the county wealth is within the cor
porate limit of such cities and towns,
highway bond money should also be
used to construct their streets. 1t is
even urged that the expenditure
should be made proportionate to the
assessed valuation within the city
limits. If the proceeds of highway
bond issues were distributed in this
way, their purpose in many cases
would be defeated. The primary OBJ
ject of the county highway bond issue
is to build county market roads and
not to improve city streets, although
high percentage of the assessed val
uatlon may be city property. 1t IS
now known that the expenditure is
one of the best features of State aid
for highways. In Massachusetts the
| city of Boston pays possibly 40 per
cent of the total State highway fund.
but not mile of State-aid highway
| has been built within it's limits. New
York City also pays about 60 per cent
| of the cost of the State highway
bonds. Some State laws prohibit the
| expenditure of proceeds of State high
way bonds within corporate limits of
cities or towns.
The improvement of market roads
results in improved marketing condi-
| tions which benefit the city. Most
cities are essentially dependent upon
| the surrounding country for their
prosperity and development. The de-
velopment of suburban property for
residence purposes is also dependent
upon highway conditions and it is be-
coming evident yearly that whatever
makes for an increase in rural popu-
lation must be encouraged. Since the
introduction of motor traffic, country
| u
extent by city residents. In fact, the
cost Of maintaining many country
highways has been greatly increased
by the presence of city-owned motor
vehicles. The general advance in fa-
cilities for doing country business
from town headquarters when roads
are improved is no inconsiderable fac
tor in the commercial life of the com.
munity.
