AMAIGAMATED ADDS ONE
MORE BIG PUMP TO SHAFT

The additional pump installed on
the 1440 level of the Amalgamated
No. 1 shaft early in the week is in
operation and the management re-
ports $50 gallons per minute from
the 1900 to the 400 to the 1900
level and about 800 gallons per min
utefrom the 1900 to the surface.
Since the installation of the pump
the bulkhead in the drift was opened
and work on the 400 level resum-
ed with vigor. The water level in the
1900 winze from the 1900 is seadily
lowering on the basis of two feet in
t~wenty-four hours. The stOpe on
the 1900 continues to give up good
ore and keeps a large force of ore
sorters steadily engaged.
Several ears of high grade ore
were shipped this week. 1t is I'M
derstood that officials of the com
pany are studying out plans for a
mill and it is not unlikely that some
important announcement will be
made in this regard in the near flu
ture.

the result that the present shipments

MINERAL PRODUCTION
OF VIRGINIA IS SHOWN

The mineral production of vir-
ginia increased in value from $14,-
995,S42 in 1912, to $17,17S,5S0 In
1913, according to the United States
geological survey.
Virginia ranks relatively high
among the states in the variety of
mineral substances produced on a
commercial scale, but somewhat low
on the list in the value of the pro-
duction. Virginia is the leading
state in the production Of iron pyrite
used in the manufacture of sulphuric
acid, and in the production of man
ganese ore, and is the only state in
which rutile is produced. 1t also
ranks first in the production of soap
stone, most of which is manufactur-
ed before being marketed into heat
and chemical resisting articles, such
as hearthstones, mantels, griddles,
sinks, etc.
The product of chief value, how
ever, in the state is coal, which rep
resents something more than SO per
cent Of the total value Of the min
eral production. The production in
1913 amounted to ~S,S2S,06S tons,
valued at $S,952,653, against 1885,
638 tons, valued at ~$7,518,576 in
1912, an increase of nearly a mil
lion tons.
Virginia's production of pig iron,
the value of which is not included in
the total mineral production.
amounted in 1913 to 280,50S long
tons, valued at $5,310,167, compar-
ed with 52S,961 tons. valued at $4,-
364,70S, in 1912. The production
Of coke, whose value is also excluded
from the total, increased from $67,-
947 short tons. valued at $685.
975, to 1,303,603 tons, valued at ST.
S40,275. The value of clay products
in 1918, exclusive of pottery,
amounted to $1,7O5.651.
Third in Importance among the
primary mineral products Of the
state is stone. of which the chief va
rieties quarried are granite and
limestone.
The total value of the quarry pro-
ducts of Virginia increased from
$S77,746 in 1912 to $~1,063,7S2 in
1913.
In the production of iron pyrite
Virginia accounted for nearly so per
cent of the total production of the
United States in 1912 and 1913. the
figures for 1913 being 1929 tons,
valued at $587.041.
The soapstone, including tale, pro-
d%uction. in which Virginia also ranks
first, amounted to 26.487 short tons.
valued at $615,558. in 1913, against
25,313 tons, valued at $576.473. in
1912.
In the total value of commercial
mineral waters sold Virginia ranks
sixth among the states, producing
2~.S73.2SS gallons in 1913, valued
at $29S,473.
Virginia also produces asbestos.

able that the output could soon be
increased much above the rec
ord year of 1910, when 1921 tons
were marketed. Most of these new
discoveries are not sufficiently de-
veloped to show how large an output
can be expected from them; but it
is probable that some will prove to
be of considerable extent. and one
or two new large producers would
make a noticeable difference in the
Aemrican market. Similar discover.
les NAV also be expected in other
parts of the world.
