QUICKSILVER SLUGGISH.
Output Declines in 1913-CaIifornia
Largest Producer.

The quicksilver industry in the
United States broke record last year,
but not an enviable one, for with the
exception of that of 1908, the produc-
ton last year was the lowest since
1860. Final figures from every pro-
ducing district, according to II. d.
McCaskey Of the II. s. geological sur
vey. give a domestic output Of quick
silver for 1913 Of 20,213 TASKS of Is
pounds each, valued at $S13,171
against q production of 25.064 TASKS
valued at $1,053,941, in 1912. The de-
cline was due partly to the large for
eign output for the last few years,
duh market, and a general lowering
Of prices.
Producers report 154 O33 short tons
of ore mined and available for treat
ment in 1913, against 1864 tons in
1912, and the reduction of 1928
tons. against 693 tons in 1912.
California as usual. was the largest
producer in 1913, win 1851 TASKS,
valued at SERIES, n decrease from
the output of 1912 of 1888 TASKS in
quantity and of $235,S06 in value. The
total value of the production Of quick
silver in the state from 1880 the date
of the earliest output, to the end OF
1913, has been 95,902 1928 The quick
silver output Of Nevada in 1913 was
1915 TASKS valued at $66,17
Quicksilver is used mainly for the
manufacture of illuminate for explo-
sive caps, electric appliances, drugs.
and scientific apparatus and for the
recovery Of gold and silver by ANAL
gamatiOn. The use in gold and silver
recovery was formerly extensive. but
the rapid increase in the cyanidation
of gold and silver ores has materially
decreased the recovery by amalgama
ton This is, of course, due in part
to the change in depth from free mill
ing to unoxidized ores but more large
~ to the successful treatment of GER
tain large supplies of ores never pro-
fitable by amalgamation at any depth
and to increased economies and pro-
fits by the substitution of cyanida-
ton for amalgamation.
The most important producer OF
quicksilver in the United States Is the
famous New Almaden mine, of Santa
Clara county, California, which con
tains over 100 miles of underground
workings and which has produced
steadily since 1850.

Views.
T. That the commission shall hay,

Iuvse four essentials require enough
expansion to be self-explantory, but
prudence dictates that the temptation,
to add details should be resisted
Practical experience has shown that

sition, and the draft which will meet
with the most favor is that which
best presents the bare essentials. un-
ancumbered by any details.
The work already done by the Am
erican Mining Congress has made Il
clear that the procedure described APP

those of coal, oil, prosphates, and sa-
lines, which are set aside as the sub

In view of the technical nature of
