Extracts from the report of Gen. eral Manager John C. Greenway
 During the first seven months of 1914 we operated on a record basis of 65,000,000 pounds production per year for the Bisbee mines and nOta bic reductions were made in all of cur unit Gon) costs.
 In spite of the fact that develop ment work was held at normal and the mines were operated for , months of the year under a 30 per cent pro- duction, the mining cost for the year showed a. reduction of B cents per ton and the shelter operating cost a reduction of B cents per ton oyer 1913.
 One of the most gratifying results of the years work Was the increase in ore reserves. A net gain of 556,427 tons were made equivalent to 52S Ter cent increase over the reserves cs December 3lst, 1913.
 The total amount of development during the year 1914 was 632S feet while the tons of ore mined per foot of development were 107 tons

Calumet & Arizona

The Bisbee Review describes some important drill operations at depth in the Junction property, and the same tends 10 prove the wisdom of the Ca lumet & Arizona in acquiring the Sagi- naw group, for the drilling done was in that direction. The Denn people, too, cannot fail to find additional encour- agement. Adrill was installed on the 1900 level. southeast of the station, and 1t passed through 8 feet of sulphide ore of excellent grade. The finding of thls is of special interest and signifi- canoe in the Warren district of the great depth, comparatively speaking It is manifest that the company may expect commercial ores below the 1900 level, and proves the persisteney of the mineral in that part of the camp.

Shattuck- Arizona

Duluth-Following are extracts from the last report of Superintendent Houle for the "A days ending Feb. 2S, which indicate continued important develop ment in Shattuck mine:
 Crosscut No. 4, 200-foot level: This ore continued in mixed ledge matter, limestone and ore. For the last II feet the material averaged about per cent copper for width of 30 inches and in addition to the copper contents this material assays about seven ounces in silver The silver contents are some what unusual for this character of ma = terial and are therefore promising. The total length is 153 feet. The advance for the month was 27 feet.
 Raise No. 13S, 200 feet level: The to- tai height is now TIT feet. The progress was AZ feet of which 32 feet was through limestone and the last 10 feet has been in good grade of oxide ore which assays about per cent copper. The top of the raise is at present in leached ore.

ter drifting 1000 feet in Cole ground on the 1000 foot level we entered for the first time ground of the recently purchased Higgins or Magenta group, near the boundary some broken leach ed ground was encountered which contained some traces of ore and gives promise of good ore at greater depth. Beyond that point the drift went into solid limestone
 In the smelter total of 66S, ,776.26 dry tons of ore was treated during the year as follows:
 Calumet & Arizona Mining Co.,, 64,101S9; Superior & Pittsburg Co.,. 465, 34S.69; custom ores, 13S,S25.74. In the blast furnace department 403,269 dry tons of ore and 31,299.3 tons of slags and scleanings were treated.
 In the roaster department, with an average of furnaces operating, 2O9,- 13S wet tons of ore were roasted. The average sulphur contents of the ore treated was 27.5 per cent and in the colonies produced the sulphur was per cent.
 The converter department produc- ed 32,O5S.7 tons of blister copper dur ing the year. Siliceous material to the amount of 24,S23 tons was treat ed in the converters, an average of 6S tons per day.
 On the Ajo property, the carbonate ore now developed amounts to H. 054 400 tons
 [ After extensive laboratory work at Douglas, which gave promise, we erected a substantial crushing plant i consisting of jaw crusher, Symons coarse crusher, SymOns fine crusher, screens, etc. at Aio and installed in connection herewith a one-ton plant to further develop this process by actual trial in the field.
 I This one-ton plant has been Operat- ed continuously at this writing for 176 days. practically six months For
 the last "A days, the plant has given an extraction of S0.07 per cent for
 the total copper contained. Iron and
 other deleterious sals in the solution
 have been controlled to the point that yield of 0.982 pounds of copper per kilowatt hour has been obtained in [ the electrolytic plant. All the acid
 needed has been regenerated from
 the solution itself excepting a de-
 ficiency of approximately IA pounds
 100 per cent acid per pound of
 copper, thus fully justifying our con- fidence in the process as to it's prac- ticability and cost betterment.
 A forty ton plant has just been
 completed and is now in operation. If in this plant we can duplicate or i'm
 prove upon the. results obtained in the one-tone plant, it will be safe to proceed to the construction of the
 final plant.
 We feel that the process has been worked out and that any changes in the future will be in detail only. A telephone line has been con- structed along the railroad right of : way from Gila Bend to Ajo. dis tance of 42 miles.
 The total amount of development work done on the Superior and
 and Pittsburg during 1914 was 66.-
 465 feet.
 In the Cole shaft the large body of
 oxide ore on the 900-foot level of the Granville claim has been blocked out and extensively mined during the year During the year there was 1,521,742.s27 gallons of water pumped.

mine of the Copper, Range Consoli- dated company of Trimountain, Mich, a mass of copper that has since developed into the largest body of the red metal ever encountered anywhere. The mass is in the form of sheet varying in thickness from one to eight inches It was found about the twenty fifth level and to date has been followed down through the twenty seventh level, a distance of more than 200 feet
 Fragments weighing a ton, are cut from the mass by the use of clippers driven by compressed air, pieces of this size being about as large as can be economically handled. The chips are saved and their value alone si sufficient to pay the wages of the cutters It is believed the extremity of the mass yill not be encountered for another year at least.

Com mposition of Natural silicates

In the solid crust of the earth the sil- icates are by far the most abundant constituents. They form at least nine tenths of the entire known mass and comprise practically all the rocks ex- cept the sandstones, quartZites, and carbonates, and even these exceptions are commonly derivatives of the sili- cates, which break up under various conditions, yielding new bodies of their own class, together with free silica and limestone. From the geologist's point of view, the silicates are of fundamen- tal importance, and a study of their in ner constitution may be reasonably ex- pected to shed light upon many serious

Arizona Oil Wells

Reports come from the Tonto Basin oil fields that strong flow of salt water almost brine has been liber- ated by the bore hole and by the management it is stated to be the same character as that found in most oil wells in Ohio, Pennsylvania and other oil fields.
 When water of this nature is dis covered in a well the usual proce- dure is to pump it out until the flow of petroleum begins and the same course will be pursued on the Ton to.
 Taking this new evidence into con- sideration with the fact that some oil has lately been encountered in the well the probability of bringing pc troleum to the surface seems en- couraging

Russian Mineral Resources

Veins of Cinnebar are found in Daghestan, Tersk, Kuban, and the Transbaikal, in the Urals, in the Nerschinsk district and Yekaterinos- lav Province. Seams of lead exist in the CausaSus, in the Don Province near VladikackaZ, in the Altai, and the Nerchinsk district. But the do- mestic output of both of these min erals does not suffice to cover the demand, and as against an annual yield of 1,445 short tons of lead, 54,- GOO tons have to be imported Of mercury about 18O tons are imparted every year. Zinc abounds in Po- land, the Caucasus, Finland, the Don teZ region, and the Nerchinsk district but the output represents only one third of the domestic consumption. Bismuth. arsenic, pyrites magnesium and lithium are found in European Russia and Siberia, but on account of their defective exploitation a large annual import continues. Mangan- ese constitutes an exception; it's working has attained considerable development.

The Copper Situation

There is little change in the cop per situation excepting that the me- tal seems to be well established on 15 1-2 cent basis. The demand is from both foreign and domestic sources. Shipments abroad for the first 10 days of the month were in the neighborhood of 33,O0O, 900 pounds. The general tone of the market, is one of underlying strength and the increase in domestic manu- featuring operations is in particular evidence. It is hardly probable how ever, that conditions are favorable enough for an early resumption of output to full capacity.

Iron Chief Mine Claims Granted

The record in the famous Iron Chief Mining Company contention
 involving patent to valuable ore
 claims in Riverside county. was closed recently by the receipt at the Los Angeles land office, granting to the Iron Chief Mining Company pat
 ents to what are known as the Su perior No. r. and Syndicate No. 2S
 mining groups.
 The action was originally brought bH the government to prevent the is- suance of patents to various claims going to make up one of the most valuable deposits of iron ore in Cal ifcrnia, or elsewhere, on the ground
 that the company had not done the required $500 worth of work on each of the claims. At the hearing the de- fendants withdrew quite number of the claims, it being the understanding that in these cases at least the work had not been done to the satis- faction of the field service, although in every instance more than the $500 had been spert on each claim. In a few instances the company io't oltCo Dut tut lcSuil ol tbt hearing has been a substantial vic tory for the company, that has spent more than a million dollars in buying cut the original claimants and doing :he improvement work
 The late Edward H. Hartman was the dominant figure of the enterprise
 during his lifetime, and number of suits have followed in the superior and district courts of appeal involv- ing commissions amounting to hun
 dreds of thousands of dollars when
 the property was sold to Hartman and his colleagues.
 It is alleged that the iron ore de-
 post in sight makes a veritabie mcrntain, and the real value of the
 property cannot even be approxi- mated.
 The Iron Chief mine was first worked for gold, mill and cyanide plant was erected and operated for some years. The property is reached by sandy desert road about 30 miles from Walters on the s. P. railroad near IndiO.
