relative 10 current attempts to grab"
ID! fraudulent means, valuable timber
on the public lands. The popular i'm
preston prevails that this kind Of
thing Is an ancient practice which the

This. however. IL not the case. The
coarse methods Of earlier days. when

and when the lumber companies cut

Tho national forests are the present

There is nothing mysterious about this. Tho

QUICKSILVER PRODUCTION IN 1914

The domestic production OF quick.
silver in the United States in 1914 was
1855 TASKS of scvcnty-five pounds
each, valued, at the average domestic
price for the year at San Francisco zap
proNimhtcly $40 n iask). at sSll.S32. y
comparison Of these figures compiled
by II. ID. McCaskey, of the United States
Geological Surve%, with the surveys
statistics Of production for 1913, shows
Il decrease OF 3,GiJ TASKS in quantity
and of Sl.339 in value for the output
OF 1919.
There were thrty-thrcc mines and
prospects producing quicksilver in 1914.
of which twcnty-three were in Califor-
mia. In 1913 there We're twentyfour
producers, OF which eighteen were in
California.
The domestic quicksilver market was
unfavorable and the prices very low
during the first seven months Of 1913,
hut upon the outbreak Of the Euro
Dean war prices jumped and producers
in a position TO profit were encoura ed
TO make their maximum output. The
average san Francisco domestic market
price was sl0.33 flask OF seventy 1--WE
pounds for the year 1918. against $4oO5
in 1912 and s46.0l in 1911. In 1914 the
following monthly average prices were
recorded in San Francisco; January.
S39.35; February and March. $40; April,
$3.50; May, 500; June. $3.50; July,
$3.50: August. $50; September. s76.25;
October. $50: and November, $55. It is
estimated that the average for Decem-
Der will be about $53 The average price
for the year will therefore be about
$4a--thc highest since 1890.
The total productive capacity Of the
quicksilver mines Of this country as at
present known Is by no means unlimit-
ed, and although high prices may bring
spurts OF activity and new ore bodies
may at any time be discovered. the
>@Ir -
production. These facts. and the pres
cnt improbability of excessive importa-
ton, indicate high prices throughout
the war; at least.
Exports Of quicksilver from the
United states for the calendar year 1914
arc estimated at $4,000 pounds. or 45e
TASKS, valued at about s2l.350. In 1918
the exports were 1910 TASKS, valued at
}i3,o7i. The imports entered for con-
sumption are estimated for 1914 at
6S5,G0i pounds. or ?,140 TASKS, valued
ut 100000, against 1863 pounds,
valued at $75.36l. imported in 1918 Tho
imports come mainly from Europe The
largest imports OF tho year were mac
before the war began, and preliminary
figures indicate steadily declining Inn
ports in tho latter half Of the year. 1t
has hecn generally understood that the
nations at war have not permitted cN-
portation or metals. but il has been re-
ported that two lots OF about 1000
TASKS each have been received at New
York from italy since tho outbreak OF
the war. Such importations naturally
