though the German government Of
ficially has declared it's Willingness
TO pay full damage when Norwe-
gian boats have been accidentally
'%torpedoed by German submarines,
reports of the sinking of Norwegian
steamers are becoming so
as to offer seroius complications.
Many of the leading papers de

ing what it ought to in order to pro-
tect Norwegian sailors and citizens.
No word a beer published from
the government regarding what
steps it has taken or how it has pro-
tested.
The Tidens Tegn says that it now
is necessary that the government
break it's silence and let the people
know what it has done and is going
to do in order to stop these continued
encrDachment, and protect our
flag, our sailors and peaceful irav-

PRODUCTION OF GYPSUM IN 1914

According to G.. F. Loughlin of the
United States geological survey the
production of gypsum in the United
States in 1914 was marked by a de-
crease in tonnage but an increase in
value, an increase due to a strong
advance in the price of calcined gyp-
sum, which more than Offset a de-
cline in price of crude gypsum.
The quantity of crude gypsum
mined in the United States in 1914
was ~2,476,465 short tons, compared
with 2,599,50S tons reported mined
in 1918, asdecrease of 123,043 tons.
The gypsum sold without c%alcining
and used principally as land plaster
and as an ingredient in Portland
cement and paint amounted to 443.-
6S7 short tons, valued at $646, 799.

tons, valued at $6,249,190, as COM
pared with ~1,773,S49 tons, valued at
$6,077,756 sold calcined in 1913.
The total value of all gypsum mar
keted in 1914 was $6,S95,9S9, as
compared with $~6,774,S22 in 1918.
an increase of $121,167.
Considerable quantities of gyp-
sum plaster or staff" were used in
the Panama = Pacific exposition
buildings at San Francisco and in
the exposition buildings at San
Diego, but they were not sufficient
to Offset the general decline in ton
mage elsewhere. A marked increase
in the sales of calcined plaster was
noted in 1902 and 1908, which also
was largely due to the consumption
of staff" for buildings at the
Louisiana Purchase exposition build
ings at st. Louis.
Gypsum was produced in IS states
and in Alaska in 1914, the same
states reporting output in this year
as in 1913. The relative rank of

%OAY-BR|STOL TO
Be ~RE0RGAN|zED

A stipulation and agreement, en-
tered into by the majority of the
creditors of the Day-Bristol Consoli-
dated Mining company, and F. K.
McNamee, attorney for A. w. Mid
dleton, and agreed to by Receiver
H. E. Prudential, has been filed
with the clerk of the district court.
Through the filing Of this document
the resale order of the properties of
the Day-Bristol company, which ex-
pired July Is, was extended to July
26. The reason for the extension
of time asked for and granted was,
that il is reasonably sure that n
nal arrangements will be completed
by that date when the receivers
deed will be taken up and the clos.
ing of the ~receivership takes place.
That there is tangible evidence
of arrangements of this nature in
progress is evidenced by the receipt
of letters by the creditors of the
from F. G. Richmond as
trustee, Salt Lake City, with a re-
quest to send in the amount OF
their claims and remittance would
be made direct, if preferred, a sight
draft on him through the Merchants
bank could be made.
AS this will clear up all the small
clamis and throw them practically
all into the hands of one firm, it is
reasonable to presume that this is be-
ing done for a special purpose.
From what can be learned it is the
intention to surrender all claims to
the receiver as paid, thereby wiping
out the Indebtedness. take up the
deed and make final arrangements
for the resumption of work at the
property as soon as possible after the
deed is taken up. 1t looks as if the
Bristol country is soon to take on
new life and maintain a good sized
payroll.
No intimatiOn has been received
as yet as to the name of the new
company, neither as to it's policy or
management.
The resumption of operations at
Bristol will open up a splendid field
in view of the advanced price OF
metals, for it will enable getting
supplies out to the small prospectors
in a better and the starting
of work on a good many other prop

NEW JERSEY ZINC OUTPUT

The zinc mines of New Jersey m
creased their output from %144,31o,-
$50 pounds of recoverable zinc in
1913 to 14S.506,0OO pounds in
1914. Owing N the lower average
price of spelter the estimated val
lie of the output decreased from S.
OS1,5O2 in 1913 to $~7,515,914 in
1914. The quantity of ore sold Or
treated was 529,443 short tons in
1914 and 490,434 tons in 1913.
1t must be distinctly understood
that the value given for zine in New
Jersey is not that of the ore mined.

coverable zinc content of the ore aft

SIGNP0STS FOR
MIDLAND TRAIL
MEMBERS OF AUTOMOBILE CLUB
OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
PLACE THEM

F. M. Jordan aud W. Austin De-
nehie of the Automobile club OF
southern California, who passed
through Goldfeld a few days ago.
have completed the placing of sign
posts along the Midland Trail route
from Los Angeles, through Big Pine
to Goldfield and thence to Tonopah
and Ely. AS a result of this work,
the entire expense of which has been
borne by the automobile club, tour
lists will now have practically no diff
ficulty in keeping on the road and
guaging the distance between their
stops.
Such information as the traveller
needs has been carefully recorded on
these posts. The posts are durable
and will stand all sorts of wealth
er. The signs are in red, white and
blue and attract the eye from a
great distance. Each year an out
fitting a will be sem out from Los
Angeles to make such repairs as will
be necessary. In this way the club
representatives are confident that
the route from Salt Lake to Los An
geles will offer the best inducements
to the tourists to include this stretch
in their travels. Travel over the Mid
land Trail has been very heavy dur
ing the past few weeks and in every
instance the autoists when question
ed have been enthusiastic over the
Nevada portion of the transcontinen-
tai highway, saying that it not only
exceeded their expectations, but is
among the best stretches of road
encountered.
