MISLEADING REPORTS
OF GOLD DISCOVERIES

Reports of rich gold discoveries
in Alaska are made from time to
time, but rarely is any more heard of
them, and mining men wonder from
what sources the reports emanate.
Such wild exaggerations have great
ly held back the development of
this promising territory. The re-
Gently widely published news that a
gold field of enormous extent and
possibilities had been discovered in
the Broad Pas district of Alaska,
and credited as coming from Steph-
en- Birch, is a report without any
foundation whatever, as we noted in
our news columns last week. The
details are given in our New York
letter. A spirit of over-enterprise
led some of our contemporaries to
spread the news ridiculously beyond
what proved to be its deserts. The
real responsibility. however rests
with the one starting the report.
People who give out news of this
sort should be apprehended and
taught a lesson, as they cause a rush
to the alleged district and subse-
quent disappointment to miners. who
have enough hardships in Alaska. 1t
might be we'll to point out that
great deposits such as at Juneau
and at other great lode mines are
not developed in a few days, but aft
err many years of skillful work; so
that when a report is heralded that
a gold field equal or larger than
some other one which has been a
long period in coming to production
is discovered, caution should be ex-

MINERAL OUTPUT
HUNDRED MILLION
DURING 1913 CALIFORNIA PRO
DUCED 1885 PER CENT OF
TOTAL PETROLEUM

California, first among the states
west of the Mississippi river and fifth
among all the states in the value OF
its mineral production, according to
figures of the United States geologi-
cal survey, has for the last ten years
rested its claim to prominence as a
mineral producer on its output of Pc
troleum, in which it now leads all
the other states, as Pennsylvania
does in the production of coal. In
the quantity of petroleum produced
in 1913 California was credited with
1885 per cent of the total output of
petroleum in the United States, and
1926 per cen in the value. Penn
~sylvania in 1913 contributed 46 per
cent to the total quantity of coal
produced and 81 per cent of the to-
tai value of the output. Prior to
1908, when petroleum took first
place among the mineral products of
the state, value considered, gold was
the chief mineral product of the
state, and although gold has fallen
from first place in the mineral pro-
duct of the state, California contin-
ues to lead all of the other states in
the output of yellow metal. More
over. California was one of the few
states in which gold production is
an important factor that did not
show decreased production In 1913.
The production of petroleum in
1918 was a little more than As per
cent of the total mineral output of
the state. The record for 1913
shows an increase in the quantity of
crude oil produced of owe 10,5O0,-
900 barrels-from ~S7,26S,536 bar
rels in 1912 to ~97,7SS,525 barrels
in 1913. The value increased some
what more in proportion, from $780,
616.3S7 to $45,709,4O0.
The production of gold increased
from 953,639 fine ounces, valued at
$~19,713,47S in 1912 to 9S7,1S7 fine
ounces, valued at $20.4O6,95S in
1913. Of the total gold production
of the state about 55 per cen is de-
rived from placers. OF the output
of mine gold about "a per cent is
obtained from s%iliceous ores and the
other 6 per cent to derived from cop
per and lead ores.
Third in Importance among Cali
fornia's mineral industries is the
manufacture of Portland cement.
The production in 1913 was 6,01S,-
262 barrels, a decrease of 1888
barrels from 1912. The value in
creased, however, from ~$S,215,S94
to $~S,S96,734.

COVE CANYON PROPERTY
HOLDS FORTH PROMISE

Guerney Gordon and c. A. Garrett
were arrivals from their gold-silver
property in o V canyon, in the Pine

from the Leonard Creek placer dig
gings.
Both Gordon and Garrett, as high
earnestly enthusiastic over the rich
metal opportunities of the Pine For
est section. On the property in
Cove canyon they are doing extensive
work, and so far every sign is for
a rich and profitable mine develop
ment. To facilitate their confidence
and assurance that they have the
real things they let three contracts
to three different parties to sink and
run a long tunnel. Over their wide
mineraliZed area they have the show
ings that promise large and consist
vein through ordinary prospect work
and shallow shafts conveys the in
centive that belongs to real large
mine-making efforts. In general
they present the faith which promps
such conservative mining influences
to dig for fortunes out of Mother
Earth such as they believe is within
the rock-ribbed surroundings of
northern Humboldt.
They also bring the information
that. Moffat and company are with
their drift tunnel on Tepee creek
getting into the rich placer channel
for which they are driving the long
tunnel.
Currier & Fraser, below New
York canyon, sank a shaft to bed
rock and are getting some very rich
gravel wherein the placer gold is
very plentiful. The water, though,
in the bottom, like in Tepee gulch, is
so strong that to work this rich plac-
err they must either run a drain tun-
mel or install a pumping plant to lift
the troublesome water.
All in all Garrett and Gordon are
enthusiastic and confident that the
Pine Forest end will prove an Ell

NEW YORK MAY RESUME
TRADING IN LOCAL STOCKS

A telegram received here today
announced that the New York and
Philadelphia stock exchanges have
removed all restrictions on dealing
in mining stocks. This is accepted
as meaning that the exchanges will
at once resume quoting and dealing
in the big coppers and in those min
ing issues that are listed on the big
exchange. 1t is also believed that
this action presages the early re-
of general trading in all

IS FOUND
NEAR MDERM|TT
NATIONAL MEN MAKE DISCONz
cry WHICH MAY PROVE 4
VALUABLE =

A deposit of nitrate of potassium.
or inter, was discovered about if
teen miles west of McDermitt early
this month by Justice George A.
Shea and w. s. Bretz of National.
News of the find was kept secret
until the discoveries could have tests
made to determine whether the ma
terial was really inter, as they sup
posed, and make the locations to
cover the deposit.
Samples of the inter were taken to
Reno by Mr.. Shea and the tests
we're made by Francis Church Lin
coin, head and professor OF the
school of mining and metallurgy Of
the state university, whose report
was as follows:
II take pleasure in reporting that
the sample you submitted to me con-
tains the mineral inter, or saltpeter,
which is the nitrate of potassium,
and is composed of 46.5 pei cent
potash, 53.5 per cent nitric acid OK
ide. At a rough estimate I should
say that your sample contains from
Is to 20 per ZEN of this valuable
mineral. If your prospect contains
any considerable amount Of such
material it is well worth working"
The inter find was made about Is
miles west of McDermitt, just over
the line in Oregon. The locators
have taken up eight claims, covering
the entire deposit as far AS is known.
They have not had time to fully pros
pect the deposit to determine wheth-
err or not it can be mined in COM
mercial quantities.
Niter is principally used in the
making of high explosives and is
very valuable. No deposits OF COM
mercial value have ever been found
in the United States. The govern
ment Is very active in the search for
inter deposits in this country and
done considerable work in this line
in Nevada, through the geological
survey. Drilling tests are now be-
ing made by a government party on
the Black Rock desert in this coun-
ty, where there are indications that
inter may be found. = Humboldt

new CADILLAC IS
E|GHT-CyL|NOER

In announcing that its new car is
powered with an ei~gnt-cylinder en-
CINE of the V-rype, the Cadillac Mo-
tor Car company becomes the first
American manufacturer to develop
an eight-cylinder car for the market
and the only manufacturer whose
latest product embodies a vital ad-
vance in engineering and in motor
ing.
Thus are set at rest the rumors
which for weeks have presumed to
forecast Cadillac intentions and
plans.
In the light of past developments
it seems only logical that the Cadil-
lac should be first in the American
field with an eight-cylinder car, as
a glance at motor car history will
show.
The first high-grade car at a pop
ular price was the original Cadillac
Thirty and this car opened up a
new field to the industry.
For a year the Cadillac was the
only a to carry an electric starting
and lighting system-a feature that
has become an important part of
the regular equipment Of almost
every car.
AS the Cadillac statement an
nouncing the new car puts 1T:
"This company has never relaxed
it's pursuit of that power principle
which would prove to be ultimate
and final.
1--WE sought the medium by which
the Cadillac would be endowed, not
with approximate freedom from gear
shifting, or approximate hill climb
ing ability on high, or approximate
ly swift acceleration, but with the
highest possible form Of these three
characteristics.
"The Cadillac company has given
serious consideration to every rep
to scrutinize with scientific impair
TALLY the virtues and the limita-
lions Of each and every m alike.
Building and experimenting In
turn, with every type from the sim
gle cylinder to the six, and from the
poppet to the rotary and TO the slid
ing valve, we have been carried for
ward to the highest form of frequent
impulse motor-the V-type eight
cylinder.
"The principal advantage of the
eight-cylinder engine IS, of course,
it's continuous torque and %continu-
Gus uniform generation OF power.
There is no pause or lapse between
power impulses, of which there are
eight in each complete cycle of the
engine, four to every quarter turn.
The firing alternates from side 70
side. The continuous torque pro-
duces an almost utter absence OF
vibration, at both high and low
speeds"
