it's copper ores; in 1913 the output was S,719,133 ounces. but in 1914, owing to a general curtailment of mining operations. the silver recover ed was only 7,221,S15 ounces.
 An average output based upon the past three years would be about D. 000,O0 ounces in round numbers As the difference between last and this years average price of silver is like ly to be about six cnts per ounce, the Anaconda company's income from it's silver output would be affected to the extent of $540.O00.
 This would amount to less than 25 cents a share on Anaconda stock, while. on the other hand, the ad vance Tn the price of copper is all most sure to add between 8 and Si share to the company's earn ings.
 The silver mines of the West and in Cobalt will feel the full effect of the deprecatiOn in the price of silver which undoubtedly accounts for the low prices at which many of the purely silver stocks have been selling recently and particularly as the price of supplies and chemicals, cyanide zinc and aluminum-consumed in the extraction of silver has risen consid l. erably.

Arizona State Bureau of Mines

One of the features of the work of
 the College of Mines and Engineering of the University of Arizona is it's employment bureau which has been remarkably successful during the past summer Not only have all the Uni versity students desiring positions, been placed, but it's work has eX- tended to the placing of undergrad uates of other mining schools. The mines of the state have co-Operated very extensively in the work and have extended their facilities Ill many cases.
 over 130 men have been placed in summer work at daily wage of from $3.5O to $4.25 per day. Of these men about 30 were from the University of Arizona. In numbers the Missouri School of Hines came next with r men receiving employment through the University Employment Bureau. The men have been scattered all over the state generally to the larger companies, ant are to be found in Bisbee, Globe, Hayden, Humboldt,
 Jerome. Gold Roads, Miami and many other camps.
 It is significant that many of these zona have found the resources of the state so much to their liking that they have signified their intention of com
 pleting their college work at the Uni , versity of Arizona.

This company reports for the quar- ter enGed June 30, last. contain the following:
 Surplus for quarter. $793,S51. Production for same period. 14.524,- 3S0 pounds. In addition to copper derived from concentrating ores there was a total of 277.S51 pounds of cop per contained in ores shipped direct to the smelter during the quarter.
 This combined with the copper con- tained in concentrates brings the to- tai gross production for the quarter up to 14.S02,231 pounds.
 The average cost per pound of net copper produced from milling ores for the quarter was 9.122 cents. The combined cost per pound of net copper produced from milling and direct ship ping ore for the quarter was 9.123 cents.
 The sixth quarterly dividend was paid on June 50, 1915, amounting to S547.035, making the total dividends disbursed to date s3267, ,S61. The ca pital stock outstanding on the day last. dividend was declared was L. 45S,779 shares and there were $$2,- SSO,O0G par value of bonds outstand- ing at end of the quarter.

Shannon Copper

shannon received an average price of 1S.796 cents per pound of copper produced during the month of July. As production at the mIne held up to tbo average. amounting to a little bet ter than 100000 pounds, it is evident that the company is earning at the rate of approximately s6O,0OO per month. At this rate earnings per share are running close to S2.5O per share on 300,0O0 shares outstanding.
 As yet there is no indication as to when the stock will enter the di- vidend list for the directors have not considered the matter at all It is believed, however, that shannon should build up a larger working ca pital before any consideration is given to the matter of dividends. In this respect shannon is exceptionally well situated at present. The working capital amounts to probably better than s40O,OO0, which is large for a company of it's proportions.
 A fact that is not generally appre- ciated is that shannon has about $500, 900 worth of copper in transit which is tied up for practically three months at a time. Of course this can be drawn upon if necessary, but it is an element of the working ca pital that is temporarily tied up. By building up a strong cash balance be- fore distributing anything in the way of dividends, the large proportion of it's capital that is tied up will not confront the company with difficult ties in the future.
 The teaching process on which Shannon has been working for some time is considered a commercial sue cess, so far as tailings are concerned and the company is now engaged 1 in the erection of a 150-ton plant I for the treatment of tailings. So far l as the treatment of low grade ores i, is concerned, Shannon is considered as coping successfully with the prob 1 lem.

Ground Water in Paradise Valley
 Arizona

The United States Geological Survey announces the publication of d report on ground water in Paradise Valley which lies a short distance north of Phoenix, Ariz T' is report is based on an examination made last summer at the request of President Mar shall, by O. E. Meinzer and A. J. Ellis of the Survey stsff.
 It contains a brief but important statement of the physiography, drain age, geology, soil, and vegetation of the valley, and a discussion of it's eli mate as compared with that of the citrus belts of the Southwest. It deS- cribes the source, occurrence, depth, and quality of the ground waters and gives instructions for sinking wells and installing pumps. The report plainly states that there is no evi- dence of artesian structure and that wells should be drilled with the un- derstanGing that pumping will be ne- cessary; moreover that the yield of
 wells and the ultimate supply of ground water will be found to be
 much less than in the Salt River valley The prospects of obtaining
 dependable supplies from underground sources for irrigation on small scale arc sufficiently encouraging to
 justify the sinking and testing of wells, and with good management it 1 should be practicable to pump the available supplies for irrigation in the southern part of the valley, where
 the water table is less than 100 feet below the surface. The report in cludes an underground-w water map and other illustrations, among which l: are views of the desert forests of
 mesquite. palo verde, and giant cactus ! The analytical work was done by the Arizona Experimental Station, which. under the direction of R. H. Forbes, has for many years cooper ated with the Federal Survey in the Investigations of. the water resources of the state.
 The Paradise Valley report, which
 is known as Water-Supply Paper 375-B, can be obtained free of charge by applying to the Director, United States Geological Survey, Washington D. c.

Over 4.ooo Tons of Arsenic

The figures showing the production of white arsenic in the United States in 1914, collected by Frank L. Hess of the United States Geological Survey, indicate an output amounting to 4,610 short tons, valued at $313,147, This is somewhat more than was shown by the preliminary figures, and exceeds the largest previous output, that of 1919 (2.513 tons, valued at S159,236)

SILVER
Only Metal to Decline as a Result of the European War-How it Ar fects Anaconda and Other
 Large Producers

Silver is the only metal which has declined ir price since the be- rinning and as result of the Flu ropean war. In 1914 bar silver sold at 5s IL cents per ounce. Recently it was quoted at 467s cents. de- rrcciation of more than 20 per cent.
 silver made a new low record price at 4STS cents, the previous low point having been 47 cents in 1913. For thc first seven months this year sl- Ncr has averaged under 49 IA cents as against an average of 54 1916 cents in 1914 and g S-4 cents in 1913.
 The highest price at which silver has sold this year is 512 cents. In 1aoe. nine years ago. it sold as high as q S-4 cents From that point it declined to 47 Is cents in 1908 Four years later it rallied to 64 Is vents. dropping to 47, cents again last year.
 Unless there is a substantial re- Covcrv during the remaining five months of this year. it is apparent that the average price for 1915 will under rather than over 4S15 cens.
 During the past few years the pro- ductivu of silver in the United States has been more than 60.O00. .0OO ounces per anDum. The average price or silver for the past 10 years has been 517- cents. making the annual com mcrciaI value of the output approM mately SS5,925.000.
 Du a production of so 0OO 900 ounces thus wear there will be a depreciation in it's commercial value of S5.100.O00 estimating this years average price as s'= cents under the average of the past 10 years.
 The mining companies depending chiefly on their silver output will feel the depreciation most. bua a large proportion of the silver production of the country is derived as a by-pro- duct from lead and gold ores. The advance in the price of copper. lead and other metals will more than off set. in most cases, the decline of silver.

The ores encountered are generally low grade. and much of it with a garnetiferous gangue. The property was held for over 20 years by the Gird Bros. & O'Gorman and other stock holders in California, and could have been bond ed several times for large amounts. One time for $2OO,0OO and s50,OOO to be spent in development in one year. however, the owners refused this and eventually died without deriving any benefit from the property.

seven Months Dividend oisbursements

July proved an unusually good month to holders of stock in American mines and works according to re- ports made to Mining & Engineering World Disbursements totaled sS,- 6Ss.9S0 and were participated in by 51 companies.
 The effect of the continued high prices for copper is beginning to be felt by the larger producers as evi- denced by increased disbursements. and by the resumption of dividend payments by a number of companies which discontinued payments some time ago The operators of zinc and lead mines. also. have felt the influence of high prices and have in creased their declarations.
 While total disbursements during the months of 1915 are consider ably behind those during the same period of 1914, there is every indi- cation that the balance of the year will witness such large increases over the returns made in similar months in 1914 that the years total will be much greater than in that year.
 From reports made to Mining & Engineering World it is learned that

Needles Reduction Plant

A floatation process is being added to the concentrator at the Needles. This will enable the plant to treat all leadzinc ores that are offered. At present the concentration treats lit tie ore except that from the Tennes- see and Champion mines. The Ten nessec is shipping seven carloads q day.
 The treatment of such ores by this plant will greatly assist the mining of these ores in Arizona and especially in Mojave county, where there is a great deal of zinciferous ores.
