Expectation of Z

All previous records in expectation of domestic zinc weres surpassed
by the shipments during the last three months which rose to the unpre-
cedented total of 65,5o4,5z4 pounds, valued at $4y443,3 SI, as compared
with I,346,S77 pounds, valued at $So756, in the corresponding period
a year ago. .,f tuss.
Figures compiled by the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce
of the department of commerce show that the exports of domestic zinc
in the form of pigs, ingots, bars, etc, in the last three months exceeded
the total for the seven-year period which ended with June, 1914. In
the last four fiscal years zinc exports have averaged I2ySooyooo pounds
per annum. In 1907, the former high record year in exports of zinc,
the total was 35S6o,oS7 pounds. That figure, however, was surpassed
by the single month of September last, with an export total OF 3o,o0o-
la pounds of zinc pigs, ingots, etc.
The unusually large exports of zinc in recent months were sent
chiefly to Europe. In September, then the exports of zinc pigs, etc,
rose to the highest point ever known. Twentyeght million pounds
were sent to England, three million pounds each to Scotland and
France, and onethrd of a million pounds each to Denmark and Italy,
while 100000 pounds went to British Africa, and 10000 pounds to
Australia. This expectation of 65,5o4,574 pounds of zinc pigs, bars, etc.
in the three months which ended with October represents about ten per
cent of the annual domestic product which in 1912 amounted to 647SI4-
900 pounds. 'a
international trade in zinc, which exceeds $75OooOoo annually, is
largely conferred in Europe. Statistics published in Commercial Rela-
tons of the United States for 1912, reveal the fact that Belgium ex-
ports annually crude zinc valued at $23oooyooo; Germany, $I7ooooooi
the Netherlands, SSyoooooo; France, 100000; Italy, 100000; the
United Kingdom, ST., 100000; and the United States, prior to the current
year, about ST 100000 worth. The United Kingdom is the worlds chief
importer of zinc, the total imports of that article in 1913 having been
valued at SCI 100000, consisting chiefly of crude zinc, and almost who'll
w locally consumed. Into Germany the imports of 1912 amounted to
SIzoooooo, made up of ore and crude zinc. France imported IN that
year S14oooooo worth of zinc, of which $o,5ooooo worth was n the
form of ore and the remainder bars ard other manufactured forms
The Netherlands imported in 1912 about 100000 WORTH OF zinc ore
and crude zinc. Other countries whose annual imports of zinc equal OF
exceed ST. 100000 in value include Belgium, 100000: Russia, So,
10000; the United States, 100000; Italy, $I,5ooooo and Japan, 81

Dividends From Mines

Despite the fact ,that. the American metal market has been about the
denGs during the eleven months just ended in the aggregate sum OF So0-
4o1 ,778. Add to this the disbursements of six security-holding corpora
tons amounting to $I8zI5,3o6 and we have a total Of $8S,II7I74
Theses figures are verified by reports made to Mining and Engineering
World and are indicative of what a really great industry mining is and
what it can do under the most adverse conditions. Is
Reports available to this journal for a number of years back add
further proof to the claim that mining when carried on as a business
proposition, is one of the most lucrative among American industries
A careful compilation of these reports shows that the I9 companies pay
ing dividends so far in 1914 have enriched holders of their stock in the
magnificent sum of $I,oS56SI,6oo. M# .ssa& D. uH4
During 1914 but twenty-threc copper companies paid dividends, as
compared with thity-four in the same period in 1913, OF ,$3o6ooSo7
against S4S6o7,2II in II months of 1913. These tweny-three proper
ties since incorporation have yielded profits in the shape OF dividends
amounting to SAL 584,I4I. Eighty-seven companies operating prop
critics classed as gold siverlead-z zinc producers, paid dividends during
the eleven months of 1914 amounting TO ~$247I472S. Since incorpor
alton these companies have disbursed $3oG2Io.3I5 on an issued captalf
cation of S2s7,o3oo52. Sixty-one of the above are located in the
United States and they have to their credit for the year SI4So5,o57
end since incorporation $a23,I So 264, on an outstanding capital OF $I7o-
|So5023. es
Twenty-one Canadian properties in the above class disbursed $o'
56oo23 in 1914 and $62Oo6454 to date. This was done OF an isued
capitalization of $~62,5o6,326. When it is considered a large majority
of these properties have been operated but a few years the result is GER
tainly remarkable. But five Mexican gold-slverlead-znc companies
report dividend payments in 1914, these distributing SI,2oo654 and
since incorporation $21,o47.5o7. Seven metalurgcal companies have

The NeU GoLdfeLd

To believers in signs it may not be an inauspnous moment to state
mining boom received a crushing blow says the CARSON APPEAL To
be more exact, it is just six weeks past the seven years when the panic
came, and from that time on till a week O two ago mining was o the
toboggan, and except for the producing mines little was heard of new
finds or discoveries.
But with the ides of November came the word that Godfeld had
again awakened and was to repeat its productive performances of seven
years ago and with the reports that come from the camp, combined with
and reflected by an almost unprecedented increase in stock values, there
is every hope and belief that the stories are true.
The strike in the Velvet claim of the Jumbo Extension group has
been phenomenal and proves the old adage that gold is not only where
you find it, but time, labor and money are required to extract it from
the hidden recesses in Mother Earth. 1t was predicted in the latter part
of 1907 that Goldhed was done fer with perhaps the exception of two or
three properties, and these continued in their wonderful production. But
in the mines where the extraction was sparse there wa no hope, Is de-
velopment had proved that the formation had changed and in that COM
ing in, the latte, gold could not exist. Exploitation in the Consolidated
group, however, disproved this theory; some of their best ore in later
days was found in that formation and with that to go by other proper
ties, Jumbo Extension among the numbe, began attaining depth, result
ing in the discovery that the taboo formation was just as likely to carry
values as the dacite and rhyoite.
In fact, the discoveries in the Jumbo Extension, which evidence
the fact that another Mohawk is in the making, prove all theories wrong,
SO far as formation is concerned, and the success in this property will
impen companies that have held back in doubt to now go ahead and seek
depth in their search for golden treasures.
Everybody hopes for the success o. the new Godfeld and trusts
that the camp, which in the last few years has whhstood SO many at
tacks of adversely ard abuse, has again come into its own and will prove
to the world that it is the greatest gold camp on earth. ~

Colorado Coal Strike

Upon the recommendation of the executive committee OF the United
Mine Workers of America the coal miners strike in Colorado has been
called off. In duration, sacrifice of life, property and monetary loss to
the state, miners, railroads and private industries, the Colorado coal
strike has been one of the greatest in the history of American mining.
The strike in the northern Colorado coal fields. of which the state
wide strike is a continuation, was called on April 4; 1911. The state
wide strike which was called on Sept. 20, 1913, virtually parayzed the
industry in Colorado, threw the commonwealth into turmoil and finally
led to the calling out of the state militia and the importation OF federal
troops, SUCCESSFULLY, into the strike territory to preserve order. The toll
of approximately $ISoooooo caused by the strike is shared by MINERS
onerators the union. railroads, state and federal governments and private
industries According to union officials more than 100000 has been
paid out in strike benefits alone. Loss of wages to miners is estimated
at over 100000.
The strike was characterized by an Unusual number OF acts OF Vo-
,e,oe M # east sixtv-six persons ar known to have been killed and
about f;ftv injured as a result of disorders incident to the strike. The
hattie between striking miners, mine guards and miitamen at Ludlow

Mine Owners and Insurance

III The TRIBUNE has had occasion before to call attention to the re-
cent organization of the California Metal Producers association, OF
which Albert ,Burch is president and John Mocine secretary. The per-
manent organization was completed on October 28 and on November S
the California Industrial Accident commission held a public meeting,
heretofore alluded to in The TRIBUNE, 10 which a large number of met
al producers and mine managers were invited. The mining industry was
represented by members of the newly organized metal producers associa-
ton. Mr.. Burch explained the workings o. the Nevada industrial insur-
ance law and the discussion was general. OF the results of this meeting
the Engineering and Mining Journal, in its last issue, said: .ma
THE mine owners and managers, so far a represented as this meet
ing, are apparently in favor of state insurance provided the state will
write such insurance and write it at a reasonable rate. 1t was made
plain that there was little disposition on the part OF the mining men to
encourage mutualinsurance plans, which would require the loaning to
the state of sufficient funds by the mine owners, to carry out insurance.
1T was held by the representatives of the commission that the high
rate charged was for the purpose of taking care of extra hazardous risks
such as great disasters in which a large number OF men may be killed at
one time. But in the history of California mining there have been, SO
far, no great disasters of this character. There have been some close
chances taken in some deep mines provided with only one exit, and in
some instances there are infanmable structures near intake arways and
danger from underground fires in tinbered mines. But these dangers
should be very largely reduced by carrying out the careful plans in pro-
cess by the commission in cooperation with the bureau of mines.
1T is fortunate the metal producers had completed their pernan-
ent organization prior ITO the meeting of the mining men with the commits
sion. When the representatives of the mining industry spoke at the
meeting with the accident commission, they spoke not only as indWd-
uas representing their own particular operations, but they spoke a a rep
resentahve body of strong and Influential mine owners and managers;
and what they said or may say must have weight not only with the COM
mission but with legislators"

Reuiual in Mining

The mining and mining stock outlook for Nevada should be very
good in the next two or three weeks, says the Nevada STATE JOURNAL,
and it would not be at all surprising if there were a revival in mining in
terest during the remaining months of the winter and we'll through the
spring.
For substantial developments the work on the Jumbo Extension
IN Goldfeld has opened up a new vista for a camp that was rapidly be-
ginning to feel almost at the end of the great deposit. Now there is a
new theory that will drive away the fear CT that trick of a baneful Midas
who would transmute gold into copper rather than copper into gold. AS
fr the copper camps, there is still a dark outside lining on the cloud, but
If shipping difficulties are met even that may pass. This country must
begin to manufacture copper into merchandise forms and the longer the
war the more chance will there be of a recovery of the copper situation.
The best indication of a revival of interest in mining stocks comes
from the general situation. Investors soon will be able to get their
hands OF capital The federal reserve system will soon be in working

Twelve children and two women were found dead in the ruins O. the col

camps in Las Animas, Huerfana, Fremont and Boulder counties marked
the elimination of strike outbreaks. The arrival of federal troops on
April &c. 1914, restored peace. State troops we're sent into the strike
zone Oct 20, 1914, when local authorities declared they were unable to
cope with the situation. With the exception of a company stationed at
Ludlow and another at Wasenburg, the state troops were withdrawn
on April !8. The following week, however, they were ordered to return,

Sleeping Robe For Baby.

A sleeping robe for the baby is some
what Of a novelty and at the same
time a very serviceable gift. 1t is
shaped very much like the sleeping
bags for older people. with a hood to
be pulled over the head.
Soft white wool eiderdown is the
material used. and the edge is bound
with either pink or blue satin ribbon.
These little sleeping robes are just the
thing for baby's afternoon nap out of
doors in the carriage. They are often
used in the nursery as we'll when it is
necessary to keep the baby out of a
draft.
These little garments. which open
down the front. are made after the
pattern of IA baby's wrapper. A coarse
cheesecloth over a wadded lining.
quilted in large %diagonals. forms the
bath robe. The edges are bound with
wash ribbon or b~uttonholed. blanket
stitching being used.
