MICHIGAN

The production of copper from ore
mined in Michigan during 1913 was
135,853,409 pounds, having a value
of $21 ,057.27S, the copper being cal
culated as of an average value of
1873 cents a pound, according to re-
turns received by b. S. Butler of the
United States geological survey. The
mine output was much smaller than
the smelter production. as consider
able material mined and milled pre-
viOus to 1913 was smelted during the
year. The production compares with
an output of 21S,13S,4OS pounds in
1912, valued at $35,992.S37.
The great decrease in output by the
mines was due to the labor troubles
which began July 23 and continued
for the rest of the year. The output
of all mines was greatly reduced in
the later half of the year and several
mines were not operated after July
%. The mines produced 7,016,3O7
tons of ore with an average copper
recovery of 1886 pounds to the ton,
compared with 11,411,941 tons of ore
in 1912 with an average copper re-
covery of 1871 pounds to the ton.
In addition to copper the mines
produced 295,173 ounces of silver in
1918, compared with 52S,453 ounces
in 1912.

TfNNESSEf.CALIFORNIA TRAVELLING
REPUBLIC STARTED 65 YEARS AGO

a formal ordinance of secession, thus
disrupting the republic and leaving
the office holders with their offices,
but minus anyone to govern.
Following this open rupture, a
compromise was reached whereby
the property of the reublic was APP
portioned among the members, OF the
various small groups which had been
formed, and the expedition scattered,
Zach group for itself.
The historian records that many
weeks later. at beginning of winter,
almost at the base of the Sierra Ne
vada mountains, a solitary. greasy,
bearded, unwashed individual was
encountered on the trail by one of
tho many parties pushing on to the
gold fields. AT first the man vas
thought to be a Mexican brigand, but
he soon introduced himself, in cour-
teous and cultured language, as Cap
tain Watkins, late president of the
Tennessee-California travelling repub-
lie. Deserted by the last of his once
one hundred loyal subjects, the cap
tain was under the necessity of ask
irg aid of ~travelrs along the way.

CREST OF THE SIERRA

Mount Whitney, the highest point
in the United States, is not an isolat-
ed mountain peak like Mount Shasta
or Mount Rainier. but is the Hottest
point in the great California crest or
enormous sawtooth ridge of the Sier-
"a Nevada, including many eminences
almost as high. Mount Whitney is
14,5O1 feet above sea level. Among
those of slightly lesser height are
Mount Russell, less than a mile dis
tant, 14,19O feet; Mount Williamson,
14,3S4 feet; Mount Muir. 14,025
feet; Mount Langley. 14,042 feet;
Mount Barnard, 1908 feet. and
Mount Tyndall. 14,O25 feet. The
most distant of these is less than 6
miles away.
BY a strange freak of nature the
lowest point of dry land in the Uni
ted States is less than 80 miles from
the highest. The lowest point is in
d, sth Valley and is 276 feet below
sea level. 1t is said that from this
point Mount Whitney can be easily
seen on a clear day.

MINING WORK HAMPERED
BY THE HEAVY SNOW

F. w. Stall, a Winnemucca mining
man who is operating in several sec
tions of the west, including Masonic
and National, speaking of his prop
erty, the Sarita, in Mono county, said
this morning: 1--WE have been work.
ing on the Sarita now for nearly
two years, and while we are now
down 200 feet, and have done con-
siderable development work on the
2OO-foot level, we can't say exactly
where we're at yet.
Just at present, owing to the alti-
tude of the property, something over
5000 feet, the snow has hampered
us in going ahead, and we'll have to
wait for that to disappear before
work is resumed this season or to
any extent. However, we have not
yet shipped any ore for the simple
reason that we haven't found any
we'll defined body up to date, the
work so far having been all in the
nature of prospecting.
The matter of transportation will
cut quite a figure when we do strike
it, too, as the nearest railroad sta
ton that would be of benefit is
Gardnerville, distant some rs miles
from the mine"
MI. Stall has just returned from
National, where he and his associates
have also been prospecting. He re-
ports a quiet state of affairs in that
camp at present owing partly to the
intending resignation of the superin-
tendent of the National Mines COM
pany, the principal property. 1t is
understood that friction in the man
! agement is the cause.-GaZette.

IMPORTANT STRIKE
MADE ON CODO LEASE
LESSEE OF ROCHESTER, MINES
GROUND GETS RICH ORE
IN NEW VEIN

A. A. Codd has made an important
strike on his lease on a portion of
the Rochester Mines ground, accord
ing to a telegram received yester-
day by John F. Cowan. Appearances
indicate, 1t is declared, that it is the
biggest find yet made in the camp,
mine assays showing values of from
$40 to $175.
The discovery was made in a vein
parallel to the one from which Codd
has taken most of his ore. 1t is said
to show where tapped a face of eight
feet of ore and since then they have
sunk on it twelve feet, all in ore. The
camp is much excited over this find,
as it is one of the deepest workings
in the district, aid establishes be-
yond question that there are several
or~e-bearing veins which have not yet
been explored and that the ore makes
to greater depth than has been proven
up to the present time.
In the Mcneil lease the report
from Carson City is to the effect that
Mcneil was given until Monday night
to furnish a bond of $4,000. If he
was able to provide this bond the
court agreed to give him more time
to put up the balance of the appeal
bond which he was required to give,
amounting in all to sos 900. Unless
he perfected the $4,000 bond Tues
day, it is understood that the court
would make a permanent award of
the stock that has been deposited to
his partners, DR.. George and the
Stephens boys. In case the award is
made to Nenzel's partners, some of
the attorneys take the view that Mem
Eel will still have six months to re-
deem these interests.
Salt Lake interests are awaiting
the decision of the court in this mat
ter of Mcneil perfecting his appeal.
In case he fails to furnish the bond
as required by court, it is under
stood that the local people will call
a stockholders meeting and reor-
ganize the company. Cowan, Fried
man and Hunter are among the
largest individual stockholders, and
they will probably have the George
and Stephens interests with them in
electing a directorate. The annual
stockholders meeting should have
been held January 1, 1914, but Men,
zel's litigation has prevented the
holding of such a meeting.-Salt
