NEVADA PRODUCING WAR METALS"

When mining statistics OF Nevada for the current year
shall have been compiled it is certain that they Will show
substantial advances in the production OF metals that have
not heretofore figured i'll important measure III the output
OF the State. Tungsten, III particular, has made rapid
strides III point of output, owing to the great advance III
the price of that metal. which is iii demand for use III the
manufacture of war munitions. From a number of dis
tricts in the State come reports, among which are many
that seem to be reliable. of the discovery OF tungsten or
stheelite deposits and OF the beginning OF production OF
this material upon a substantial scale.
Authorities whose opinions are OF value believe that
the end Of the war in Europe will not bring an immediate
or even an early fall in the price of metals that are now
being used largely by munitions manufacturers, but that
the demand and prices will be sustained during an eX-
tended reconstruction period by the requirements of Euro
pean countries, in addition to increased demands for such
materials in this country, incident to enlarged naval con-
struction plans. There is greater divergence of belief
regarding the future Of silver than Of any other metal,
Int the preponderance of expert opinion appears to be op-
timistic and predictions are made that the coming of
peace will be siSnalized by the greatest advance for the
White metal that has been known for a generation. The
war may benefit Nevada III stimulating the search for
metals that are now III demand, and this search my, in
turn. result in the discovery of valuable deposits of the
metals of established and stabilized worth. ANY stimu-
liant to prospecting and mine development must Of ne
cessity be beneficial to this State.

LEAD AND THE ORIENT

The war has produced a shortage in lead in many
quarters. and Australia, one of the principal producers,
has recently stopped expectation. This has affected
China and the demand there will probably be supplied
from the United States by way of the Pacific coast.
Nevada is not a heavy producer of lead, but her pro-
duction is sufficient to give her a material interest in the
markets and market conditions for this metal. The inter
mountain country generally is a big producer and is OF
course watching conditions, particularly the price at Hong
Kong, which at the present time is said to be $1,000 per
ION against $1,000 a year ago. Under normal conditions
lead reaches the Orient through Japan, Great Britain and
Russia, but supplies from these sources are no longer
available.
The Salt Lake Tribune discusses the question OF
shipping from San Francisco and Seattle direct to China,
lust as in the case OF other products from the inter noun
tain states a market in the Orient is thus opened by rea-
son of the European war. The market for the lead of
this vast section has heretofore been in New York, St.
Louis. Cleveland and other big cities OF the East and Mid
die West. But if China or the Orient needs supplies OF
lead there is no reason why the product of this section
should seek a roundabout road to reach Hong Kong, as
heretofore. and we can all see a chance for the Pacific
Coast cities to build up a trade that will continue long
after peace in Europe is declared. And the present con
dition suggests a foreible argument in support of an am
pie merchant marine.
the United States is Approximately 100000 tons per an
mum. There would seem to be no logical reason for
sending any large proportion of this product mined be-
tween the Mississippi and the Pacific BY way of the Suez
Canal to the Orient. It's natural course would be across
the Pacific, along with the thousands of shiploads of other
products of the same section.

development ON THE C0MST0Ck
OUTLINED In WEEKLY REPORTS

Operations in the deep levels OF
the Northend mines continue along
practically the same lines as last
week, according to midweek advices
and general conditions remain favor
able. 1t is understood that the pro-
pOsal to reopen the Union shaft from
the 1000 to the $500 level is being
considered this week in San Fran
cisco, and a definite conclusion will
no doubt soon be reached. AS far
as can be learned the shaft is prob
ably in fair condition between the
points mentioned. and it is believed
that the expense of reopening will
be comparatively small.
AS a measure of economy in car
iying on work on the 2400, $500 and
levels below, the placing back in
commission of this section of the
shaft seems essential, for a large
saving would be effected in operat-
ing costs and would no doubt soon
pay for reOpening work. Not only
would a long tram from present
working points be eliminated, but a
vast Improvement in the ventilation
would be effected. The ore showings
made to date in the Union Con. and
Sierra Nevada create an especially
promising outlook below the 250o
level in those properties. work up

$500 level and above in the ore.
The Sierra Nevada company the
present week is engaged in driving
SC tn on the ore from the west cross
cut on the $500 level, the drift being
started opposite the north drift, and
is also extending the northwest DRIFT
along the course of the vein. IL is
understood that ore of fair milling
grade is being extracted from the
work. The west crosscut is to he
extended until the footwall of the
formation is reached. Later on
sinking on the ore is contemplated.
The Union Consolidated on the
2500 level is stopping ore from No. L

JUDGES AND POLITICS

The state papers are already inviting attention iorci
bv to Section AZ of Chapter 8 of the new Election laws,
which contains the following:
nc word designating the party affihation OF any
candidate for a judicial office shall be printed upon the
ballot
This applies to Judges OF the supreme bench as well
rs to district courts and Justices of the peace. Even II the
candidate for judicial honors be nominated by political
parties in convention. the party affIiatioi can not be
designated in the ballot.
For wears and years, and then more years, we have
hoasted OF our non partisan judiciary Many Of us prob
ably believed these boasts were truthful. bur if they were,
why haven't we robbed them of the appearance, at least,
of being otherwise? We have seen all 100 frequently in
decisions from even our higher courts that they we're not
50. There is hardly a state in the Union which docsnt
liford some example of its highest court dividing on strict
" party lines. Even within the last YEAR we saw this very
thing in so great a state as Illinois.

FUTURE OF GOLDFIELD'S BASE ORES

Installation of equipment for the treatment of refrac-
tory ores by oil flotation will mean fully as much to Cold
field as the discovery and opening to production of a half
dozen new mines. The district contains hundreds of
thousands of tons OF copper-bearing ores, chiefly at deep
levels OF the mines, a large part of which is available for
immediate extraction. This ore would be classed as Of
good grade in any district III which base ores are handled
and will yield large profits when treated by a process to

materially in advertising to the world the mining resources
OF Their districts II they would set forth in their columns

its being clipped or copied by technical or straight mining
publications.

with the no less Objectionable editorial comment in news

contain news of the utmost interest to mining men or that

Representative Shirley, of Kentucky, doubts whether
congress will have time at the coming session to consider
the budget system. Mr.. Shirley is a very prominent mem
Der of the house and one of its leaders. He is also a mem
Der of the committee on appropriations. We all know
that the budget system encourages economy, nor can we
forget that the present congress, as we'll as the last, was
elected largely on an economy pledge. But when we re-
call that the last congress broke the record for expendi-
assuring.

Attention has been called to the fact that Secretary
OF War Garrison, in mapping out his plan, utilized an old
recommendation of General Cpton which was known as
the Upton idea of a citizen soldierv. Regardless of any
plagiarism, however. it must be admitted that Garrison
showed good sense in picking his mentor. This country
has produced few men of sounder military Judgment than
General Upton. But his scheme, now revived. was re
jected when placed before congress, and the pity is that he
did not live to witness its ultimate adoption.

MINING IN MEXICO

The revolution in Mexico, or rather the Revolutionary
serial that has occupied the stage in that country to the
exclusion of all else for nearly six years is at last giving
a whispering promise of something else on the bill. The
last week has been encouraging, and if quiet is actually 10
be restored under Carranza there will be a revival OF III
terest in Mexian mines.
During the last two years mining in Mexico has been
at a standstill. 1t has continued in a few places, but on 4
much reduced scale and most of heAnerican- owned mines
have been closed. Those who claim American citizenship
were called out by orders from Washington, while those
from other countries, if not called out or ordered out, have
generally been driven out or found it more wholesome to
leave. All this has cost a lot of hardship and is still cost
ing a lot of money.
The Engineering and Mining Journal, in a recent is
sue, puts the present question as follows: when and
what chance will there be for successful resumption OF OPP
erations when it is safe to return to work?' 1t finds the
answer depending upon the protection given to foreign
mining operators by the people and the party in power, but
resting very largely on the taxes with which the industry
will be burdened. The taxes in general, it is contended,
are being increased, and the mining industry will likely be
made to carry the burden to full capacity. In the opinion
of the Mining Journal the only limit will be what the
'CameIs back" can stand.
Commenting further and in detail on the reasons for
its views, it points out that on March It. 1915, Carranza
issued a decree raising the mining taxes, and this decree
was only temporarily modified by another. dated April 1,
1915. They regulate the property tax Can internal revenue
tax depending on the size of the property and the pro
ductlon tax depending on the value of the ores and bull
lion produced). Large fields will have to pay virtually
eight times as much property tax as they formerly paid.
Not only does the tax affect the miner, but the work done
by the miner affects the tax, and as he will have to be con-
suited sooner or later, it seems necessary for operators in
Mexico to. come to some general understanding in regard
to these taxes.
The foreigner particularly is interested in the new
mining taxes and regulations. since few of the older. larg-
or or more important mines in Mexico are being held by
Mexican owners. Mexican owners almost invariably
hope to sell to the foreigner.
The purpose of the Carranza decree of March I, IOI5.
IS evidently to break up large holdings and to stop specr-
iation III undeveloped ground held with the expectation
that 1t may become valuable by the exploration done on
nearby property-as it IS popularity expressed in words of
lle revolution, to keep the rich man from taking away the
chances OF the poor man who cannot afford to hold much
ground, or to give the oppressed man a chance. At the
present time any new measure that can be advertised as
accomplishing this object is of course popular among the
Carranza faction.
