OUTPUT LESS
Chisos Mine, at Terlingua,
Tex, Continues One of
Largest Producers.

Washington. D. c., Jan. 9.-The do
nestle production of quicksilver in
1914. according 10 preliminary figures
collected from the Individual producers
by H. D. McCaskey, Of the United
States geological survey, was 1855
TASKS Of IS pounds each, valued, at the
average domestic price for the year at
flask, at S811,S32 A comparison OF
these figures with the surveys final
statistics of production Of 1913, which
gave 20,213 TASKS, valued at SS13,1l1
(the smallest output since 1909, shows
a decrease Of 3645 TASKS in quantity
and Of 1889 in value for the output
of 1914.
There were 80 mines and prospects
producing quicksilver in 1914, of which
% were in California. In 1913 there
were "a producers, of which is were
in California.
Another Heavy Decline in California.
The estimated output for California
in 1914 was 11,469 TASKS, valued at
S561,9S1, against production of 10
59l TASKS, valued at SS2I22S in 1913.
The output in California in 1914 was
the smallest since 1860. From the pres
ent information the production of Cal
ifOrnia will not Immediately regain the
average output of 21,361 TASKS for the
period 19O2-1913-
Production in other States.
No production of quicksilver has
been made in Oregon, Utah or Wash
ingtOn in recent years. but a nominal
output was reported from both Mari
cOpa and Yuma counties. in Arizona, in
1913 ard 1914, in the Mazatzal range
and in he QuartZsite district, respect
lively. The production from both local
tiles greatly decreased in 1914.
In Texas the ChisOs mine at Ter
linEua continued the important output
maintained for many years and was
again one of the largest producers in
the country.
The combined output of quicksilver
in Arizona, Nevada and Texas in 1914
was 5099 TASKS, valued at S249. S51,
against 1922 TASKS, valued at S1S5,943,
in 1913.
Market and Prices.
The domestic quicksilver market was
unfavOrable and the prices very low
during the first seven months of 1914
but upon the outbreak of the European
war the prices jumped and producers
in a position to profit were encouraged
to make their maximum output. 1t is
estimated that the average for Decem-
Der was about $50. The average price
for the year was. therefore, about
$49-the highest price since 1890.
Imports and Exports.
Exports of quicksilver from the Unit
ed States for the calendar year 1914 are
estimated. from the records Of the bu-
reau of foreign and domestic COM
merce, Of the department of commerce,
at $4,000 pounds, or 452 TASKS, valued
at about S21,350 The imports entered
for consumption are estimated for 1914
at 6S5, 604 pounds, or $40 flaCks, valued
at 6S5,604 pounds, or 9140 TASKS, valued
valued at S75, 1861, imported in 1913. The
imports come mainly from Europe and
enter almost wholly at the port Of New

No HEAVYF
Roads to Big Camp Almost
q impossible; Only Mails
Can Get Through.

Mogollon, n NJ, Jan. 9.-The camp
has suffered and continues to feel the
lack of mail and supplies, brought
about by the floods and bad roads, max
ing heavy freight transpOrta ton

are able to get through with the mail,
but it is taking three days.
The Enterprise Mining company has
closed down, due to lack of oil. The
Ernestine Mining company continues 10
operate its mill at full capacity. It is
stated that this company has supply
of fuel oil sufficient to last many weeks,
so it is believed the handicap placed on
transportation by recent storms will in
no way affect the continued output Of
gold and silver bullion from the Last
Chance mine. A more modern chemical
laboratory is being built and it is said
a new shaft will soon be started.
Oaks Company Pushes Work.
The Oaks company is pushing work
on several different properties, the more
important being the Eberle, Mckinley
and Admiral Dewey tunnels and the
shaft on Johnson No. Z. A recent test
shipment Of 316 pounds from heading
on the Queen vein gave a smelter re-
turn of $338.14, netting over a dollar
pound. This is from the mother lode Of
the MOgollOns, a large vein traceabIe
for 10 miles or more.
It is reported that Harry Herman, the
veteran sawmiI operator. one Of the
camps most active and energetic pt-
Oneers, has given an option on his mill
and timber holdings to Kelly. Mr.. Her
man has furnished SO percent of all
the lumber used by the mining COM
panies in the COOney district for over
a quarter of a century, including the
construction of all the reduction plants,
amounting in the aggregate to many
million feet.

earth at a scoop and average between
10000 and 10000 cubic yards per month.
Work 125 Men on West Side.
On the west side canal the reClama-
ton service now has 1875 men and $50
horses at work. The number of both
men and animals will be about doubled
in the course of a month, which will
bring the force up to the maximum.
The contracts signed by the land
owners on the east side canal have
been sent to Washington and are eX-
pected to soon be approved. Work on
the canal win be started when this
Is done.

Prescott, Ariz., Jan. 9.-The big al
faIfa ranch of DIR. L. o. Davenport on
Big Bug creek, is being sluiced away
in a relentless search for gold. The sand
and gravel which FOR nearly a genera
ton have nurtured the roots of the
luscious forage plant are being washed
for nuggets and dust they contain. The
work is being done under the direction
of o. S. Caywood, who recently acquired
control of large areas of placer ground

.FLUME CLOSED At BIC DAM;
TREMENDOUS TASK WELL DONE
Men Forced to Work Overtime When Water Is Turned
In Behind Dam, and Flume Used For Stream Dur
ing Construction Is Closed but in 40 Hours the
River Was Under Con troll and All in Shape
BY E. H. BALDWIN,
Construction Engineer.

Elephant Butte, n NJ, Jan. 9.-Cou-
struction during December was in a
great measure preliminary to closing
the nume and diverting the river
through the dam. Extra gangs from
Quarries and excavation were for some
time engaged in tearing out the timber
sides of the flume to low water level
drilling preparatory to blasting for
material to effect the closure; clean
ing up the accumulation Of months in
lhe vicinity of the gate entrances
placing pumps to handle seepage wa
ter; putting derricks in position for
rapid work and carrying out numerous
details essential to rapid and success
ful work.
Preliminary to closing the flume
number Of deep holes had been drilled
in the hillside Immediately west of the
flume, near its entrance. These were
all loaded and ready the day before
At 1880 a. m, January g. the blast was
set off A large quantity of material
was thrown into the flume, but not as
much as was expected, for, from some
unexplainable reason, two of the shots
did not go off; but enough material
fell in the flume to greatly check the
flow. Several hundred men were put
TO work TO close the gap, and by noon
the flow had been checked to such an
extent that work in the dam section
Of the flume was possible.
stopped Up the Flume.
A portion of the timber side Of fiume
was taken off, letting the seepaEe
water flow into the stump between the
upper Golfer dam and the main dam.
A low sand bag dam was then put
across the bottom of the flume and
just upstream from the face of the
masonry dam. Upstream concrete
forms, previously built in sections IA
feet high, were then placed by the
derrick. Preparation OF the bottom
was then commenced, and at y. m.
COncreting started.
During the night il was nip and tuck
with the seepaEe water. A number OF
men were kept on the cOffefdam
strengthening, raising, and Tightening
it, Two 10-inch pumps were throwing
out seepaEe water at the rate of 5000
gallons per minute, but this was not
enough; the water kept crOwding the
rising concrete, and frequently triclIled
over st; at one time it rushed through
in streams, but by concentrating the
work at the most critical places, the
concrete was kept a few inches above
the water.
Pumps Check Water.
In the meantime, a third 1O-inch
pump was set up and put in operation
at a. m. the following day. The three
pumps checked the rise of the water
and enabled the masonry to keep ahead,
but as the water in reservoir was con-
tinualy rising, the head against the
Coferdam increased and leakage
through the old cOferdam also in
creased. At about z p. m. the water
