NEVADA STAR COMPANY WILL
BE VOLUNTARILY WOUND UP

Liquidation and reorganization of
the Nevada Star Mining company,
limited, is to be effected pursuant to
special resolutions adopted at a
meeting held Nov. 5, 1914, at the
Queens hotel, Keighley. county of
York. England. A copy of the reso-
lutions has been filed in the office
of the county recorded and they
state that the Nevada Star company
will be wound up voluntarily with
a view to recO%nstructing it.
A liquidator in the person of AL
fred Cornelius StonehOuse of %
Bond street, Leeds, England, was
chosen and given authority to make
a deal to dispose of all the assets
of the company to a new corpora
ton that will be formed.
The Nevada Star company owns
the famous Star mine at Cherry
Creek, where operations were sud
denly stopped at the beginning of
the European war.-Ely EXpositOr.

COAL MINED IN 1914 N !
ROCKY MOUNTAIN STATES

In all but one of the Rocky noun
tain states the production of coal In
1914 was materially less a in
1918, exception to the general rule
being New Mexico. Because of the
continued labor troubles in Colora-
do and the inability of the operators
there to meet the normal demands,
the output of New Mexico, according
to E. w. Parker of the United States
geological survey showed an increase
of Is to 20 per cent. Coke produc-
ton. however, showed a decrease Of
about 20 per cent, as the bulk OF
the coke made in New Mexico is sold
to copper producers and the decrease
in exports of copper reduced the de-
mand from the shelters. Internal
troubles in Mexico are also partly
responsible for decreased coke pro-
duction in New Mexico. The coal
production of the state in 1914 is
estimated at 4,450,000 tons, against
3,70S,S06 tons in 1913.
The coal mine inspectors report
for the fiscal year ended Nov. 80
shows that the production of Mon
tana decreased from 3,93S,671 tons
in 1914. This decrease Is attribut-
ed principally to the increased use
of hydro-electric power and to COM
petition of cheaper Goals from Wyo-
ming. The influence of the war in
Europe has been felt relatively more
in Montana than in some of the east
ern states, on account of the cur
tailment of the copper production
ESTIMATED at SO per cent? that re-
duced the consumption by the smelt-
ers. Lighter business by the rail-
roads and mild weather in Novem-
Der and December have also reduced
coal consumption. Wyoming's pro-
duction is estimated to have decreas-
ed about Z per cent, owing chiefly to
the relatively warm weather in the
closing months of the year and to
smaller demands from the railroads.
1t is difficult to estimate closely
the effect of the strike on the coal
production of Colorado, but it is be-
lieved that the output for 1914 was
about 1000, 900 tons less than in
1918, when it amounted to $685.
SO short tons.
Utah, like Montana, suffered from
the great decrease in copper produc-
ton and her output of coal is esti-
mated to have fallen off about 10
per cent.

WASHINGTON MINERAL
OUTPUT SHOWS DECREASE

The value of the mine output of
gold, silver, copper and lead in
Washington in 1914 was less than
$500, 600, a decrease of over "a per
cent, according to a preliminary es-
innate by c. N. Gerry of the U. s.
geological survey. This decrease
was general. At Chewe1ah the
main property was closed part OF
the year on account of the condi-
ton of the copper market, and min
ing at Republic was rather quiet
most of the year.
The main yield of gold, the prin-
cipa| metal, decreased from $685.
275 in 1913 to $55S,0O0 in 1914, or
nearly 20 per cent. About 60 per
cent came from ore and concen-
trates shipped to various smelters
and the remainder came from mill
bullion and placers. There was
some activity at Liberty, In Kittitas
county, and at the Owasco, Caaba,
Reco, Golden Chariot and Okano-
gan Free Gold property in Okanogan
county.
The silver output decreased from
331,239 ounce in 1913 to 253,000
ounces in 1914, or over 23 per cent.
Nearly a third Of this total had it's
source in copper ore, and most of
the remainder came from siliceous
ores.
The copper output Of the state de-
creased from 954,0S1 pounds in
1913 to 737,5OO pounds in 1914, or
nearly % per cent. The United Cop
per mine was closed during two
months of the year, ana two OF the
British Columbia smelters treating
the ore were idle the latter part of
the year.
Only a few tons of lead ore was
shipped from the state in 1914. The
output decreased from 2O2,4S7
pounds in 1913 to about $1,000
pounds in 1914. No zinc ore was
shipped during the year.
The Chewelah district produced
owe II per cent of the total copper
and SO per cent of the total silver
yield. The United Copper, the main
producer, after being idle in August
and September, continued work IN
opening the property and shipping
ore and concentrate to Trail, Brit
ish Columbia. The capacity OF the
mill was increased to 1875 tons a day,
and a large flotation plant MAJ be
added. A small mating plant was
erected at the Copper King proper
ty during the year, but seems to
have done little smelling.
The Republic district decreased
it's output considerably, as m mill
and several of the mines were ham
pered by litigation. The Ben Hur
was probably the largest producer,
shipping about $4,000 tons of ore to
Canadian plants. The San Poll mill
was the only active plant, treating
about so tons a day the greater part
of the year. Other producers were
the Republic Mines corporation,
Knob Hill. Hope, Quilp, Rathfon
and Phil Sheridan mines. In Oc-
tober the Western Union Mines Co.
took over the Surprise, Lone Pine,
Pearl, San Poll, Last Chance and
Quilp mines.

METAL PRODUCTION OF NEVADA

V. c. Heikes of the United States
geological survey has recently pub
lished No. 25 of mineral
of the United States for 1918, en-
titled Gold, Silver, Copper, Lead
and Zinc in Nevada" According to
this, the state of Nevada produced
during the year 1913 the following
quantities and values in these met
ais:
Quantity.
Ounces. Value.
Gold ..... ~570,5S9.41 $11,795,13O
Silver $1,000, O33.OO 9,71S,41O

Copper 9O,693,351.OO 14,O57,531
Lead .--.16,344,023.00 719,137
Zinc ----14,419,671.O0 S07,502
The total production of Nevada of
these five metals, therefore, amount
ed to $31, 097, ITO. The rank of the
principal western mining states in
production of these metals is-Ari-
IONA, Montana, Utah. Nevada, Colo
RADIO, California, Alaska. South Da-
kota. If, however. the production
with reference to population and
area is taken into consideration, Ne
vada holds a more important posi-
ton than is indicated by the above
order.
