II. w. Moore, on the first of the year
began shipments of mixed lead car.

tanned since that date, the ore being
hauled by wagon to Jean.
A renewed activity in the western
portion of the district is very notice
able since the first of the year. The
Columbia, now operated by the St.
Anthony Mining company, under
management of Joseph Dedrich, since
the completion of it's new aerial tram
way has greatly augmented its
monthly shipments of copper carbon
ate ore, and it is stated that motor
trucks will be purchased for haulage.
w. E. Allen, owner of the Bill Nye
property, is now operating this group
and has also developed a good show
ket for this product has yet been OBJ
tanned. The Mobile, belonging to S.
E. Yount, has been leased to a Los
Angeles syndicate, which is now en-
gagged in developing the property. A
considerable tonnage of lead-zinc ore
is already blocked out in the mine and
orders have been placed for a cable
tramway to transport the ore to the
wagon road at the foot of the hill,
whence it will be hauled to Roach.
The Milford, under lease to H. j. jar
man, has been subleased to Cress-
man & Depue of Los Angeles, and it
is stated that a 5O-ton dry concen-
trating mill of the Stebbins type will
be erected at once to treat the mixed
lead-zinc c%arbonates already devel.
oped in the mine. The Singer mill
continues to operate, and shipments
of lead concentrate are going for
ward to Salt Lake smelters.
The Boss Gold Mining company
has recently been organized to oper-
ate the Boss Group. twelve miles west
of Goodsprings, and men are now at
work on development. A consider
able tonnage of copper and gold ore
is already blocked in the mine and
shipments will be commenced in the
nea future.

The Yellow Pine Mining company
continues to operate it's mill two
shifts, but is handling only low-grade
ore from dumps and fills, pending
the completion of the new two CON-
partment working shaft. The new

ings, but will not be mined until the
new shaft is complete, owing to the
higher cost of handling the broken
ore through the old shaft. The new
electric power plant at the mine is
now in operation, burning special
gas oil for fuel, and the electric hoist
is now being used in the main shalt.
During February the company
shipped 200 tons of lead concentrate
and 900 IONS of zinc concentrate, op-
erations having been somewhat de-
layed by the heavy storms of the
month. A dividend of nine cents per
share. or a total of $4,000 per
month is now being maintained by
the company.
At the Potosi property, twenty
miles north of Go%odsprings, which
is now under the control of the EN-
pire Zinc company, a motor truck
road has been completed to Arden,
and it is understood that orders for
the haulage of r. NO ore has been
shipped recently, but . large force
ON men is engaged in development,
and a large tonnage of high grade
zinc ore has been developed on the
lower levels. 1t is expected that ship

lear future.
The south end of the district has
been very active during the winter,
and shipments have been increased
since the first of the year. The Mon

Il RAINFALL

According to an estimate by Sir
John Murray, the total annual rain
fall upon all the land of the globe
amounts to 29,347.4 cubic miles, and
of this quantity 6,524 cubic miles
drains off through rivers to the sea.
A cubic mile of river water weighs.
approximately, 4,2O5,65O,0O tons.
and carries in solution, on the aver
age, about 2,735,000,O OO tons of
solid substances are thus carried an

The water supply of the great Mis-
souri, river drainage are is the sub
iect of a publication recently issued
by the United States Geological sur
vey, entitled Surface Water Supply
of the Missouri River Basin, 1911"
(Water-Supply Paper 1863, by w. A.
Lamb, w. b. Freeman and Raymond
Richards. This report contains the
records of flow at 1870 permanent sta
tions of the Survey during the year
1911, data which are necessary to
every form of water development,
whether it be water power, naviga-
ton, irrigation. or domestic water
supply. Some of the tributary
streams are exceedingly variable in
flow: Others, like the Niobrara in Me-
braska, are remarkably uniform.
A systematic study of Missouri
river and it's tributaries is being car
ried on by the United States Geolog-
ical Survey. Considering the varied
character of the streams of the Mis-
souri, river basin and their great eco
nomic Importance for irrigation, pow
err and other purposes, the investi-
cation is one of the highest impor-
lance.
The Missouri proper Is formed in
south western Montana by the juno
ton of three streams which were dis
covered by Lewis and Clark in 1906
and were named by them Jefferson,
Madison and Gallatin rivers. OF these
thi ee jefferson river drains the larg-
est area and is considered the con-
tinuation of the main stream. This
part of Montana is mountainous and
affords many excellent w~ater-pOwer
sites. Among the principal tributa-
ries of the Missouri are the Marias,
Musselsheli, Yellowstone, CHEYENNE,
Platte and Kansas. The western part
of the basin is in the arid belt and
the eastern part is in the semi-arid
and humid regions.
Ten states of the union are drained
in part by Missouri river. Rising at
the Red Rock lakes, at an elevation
of 500 feet above sea level, this
stream descends through the Rocky
mountains and energies On the broad
prairie land a few miles below the
city of Great Falls, Mont. From that
point it is accounted a n~avigable
stream with an easy grade, and in
passing through the DakOtas and
along the borders of Nebraska, Kan
sas and Iowa it receives the flow of
great tributaries, so that as it cross
es the state of Missouri and joins the
Mississippi a short distance above
st. Louis, it becomes one of the large
rivers of the world. Its total drain
age area is about $4,000 square
miles in extent and comprises, in ad-
dition to the state above mentioned,
large areas in Wyoming and Colo
RADIO, and a smaller area in the south
western part of Minnesota.
On ShOshone river in Wyoming, a
tributary of the Bighorn, which in
turn is tributary to the Yellowstone,
which joins the Missouri in eastern
Montana, is located the Shoshone
dam. the highest structure of it's kind
in the world, 32S feet from founda-
ton to capstone. This structure was

MARKET DORMANT;
CHANGES ARE FEW
6ULLlSH TENDENCIES EVIDENT
AT OPENING PROVE INSUFFi-
GENT LATER IN DAY.

New York, March 23-Trading came
almost to standstil today and prices
betrayed few changes from last week 8
close, after an early rise and supse-
uuent reaction. Settlement Of the New
Haven negotiations the decrease In IDLE
freight cars shown in the fortnlghtiy
report and an increase in freight move
ment on western lines supplied ammu-
milton to the bulls for operations at the
opening, hut the inquiry was not SUI
fciently broad to maintain prices.
Traders were covered on the rise
late last week and put out new lines
when it became apparent that the mar
ket had lost strength. Copper snares
made a more relatively showing than
other stocks owing to the Increased de,
mand and higher prices for the metai
both here and abroad. Bonds were 1r-
regular.
The New Haven dissolution agree
ment caused an advance Of IA in the
stock at the opening today but most OF
this rise was quickly lost Union "a
.cific and Canadian Pacific advanced 1.
The tone Of the market as whole was
strong and most ofsthe favorite issues
were marked up by substantial 1rac-
The rather poor response which the
market made to the New Haven settle
ment led to professional selling on the
Initial rise. New Haven lost all of its
advance and Lehigh sold point below
Saturdays close. Can and Reading al
80 were distinctiveIy heavy.
The market closed firm. Profit taking
firm and weakness Of the Rumely
shares caused a fractional reaction.
Northern Pacific lost point of its Tour
point gain.
