Of silver, and 7,550,000 pounds of lead,
an increase of 100000 pounds of cop

Of $4,000 for copper, and an in

New Mexico.
The output of New Mexico mines for
II months of 1915, with an estimate for
December, as reported by the United
States geological survey, indicates a
yield Of $1.500,000 In gold, 2,032,0 900

lead, 100000 pounds of copper, and

ounces of silver, 1,763,641 pounds of
lead, 59,307,925 pounds of copper, and
1S4OS.392 pounds of zinc, in 1914
These preliminary figures compiled by
Charles W. Henderson show an in
crease Of $328,000 in gold, 255,OOO
ounces of silver 2,1S6,OOO pounds of
lead, 12,674,0OO pounds of copper, and
$4,000 pounds of zinc. With high
er values for metals, except for silver
the total value was $1S,277, 900, against
$11049,932 in 1914, an increase of ST.
226 $50.
Texas.
The output of Texas mines for II
months of 1915, with an estimate for
December, from preliminary figures
reported by Charles w. Henderson, of
the United States geological survey,
amounted to $4,000 in gold, 10000
ounces of silver, 100000 pounds of
lead, $4,000 pounds of copper, and 23,-
900 pounds of zinc, as compared with
1894 in gold, 530,S17 ounces of silver,
l49,027 pounds Of lead, 23,760 pounds
Of copper and 216,451 pounds of zinc
put of silver came from the Preside
silver mine and cyanidation mill, in
the Shafter district, Preside county. !
Some silver and copper were produced
at Van Horn, Culberson county, and
some lead and zinc in the Sierra |
Blanca district, Ell Paso county.
Arizona.
The output of gold, silver, copper,
lead and zinc at mines in Arizona in
1915 was valued at $SS,551,000 ac-
cording to the United States geologi-
cal survey, an increase of nearly AZ
per cent from that of 1914, which was
$5S.956,O29. There was very little
change in the output of gold, but there
were notable increases in the other
metals, especially in lead and zinc. In
creased prices made difference of
nearly $26,OOO,0O0 in copper, 100000
in lead and over 100000 in zinc
These figures are the estimates of V.
c. Heikes, statistician Of the survey.
South Dakota.
The mine production of gold from
South Dakota in 1915 was $7,390,OOO,
compared with $7,33S,5OS in 1914, and
that of silver was 1890 ounces, COM
pared with 1852 ounces in 1914.
nominal quantity Of lead was produc-
ed. These are preliminary estimates
reported by Charles w. Henderson, of
the United States geological survey.
since 1875 South Dakota has produced
Ns2,S77000 in gold, and 6,O26,000
ounces of silver.
Nevada.
The United States geological survey
reports the value of the 1915 output of
gold, silver. copper, lead and zinc from
Nevada mines as approximately $S4,-
OS6,OOO. This represents an increase
OF nearly Is per cent over the output
OF 1914 when metals valued at $780,
SoO,S42 were produced. These estim-
ates by v. G. Heikes of the Salt Lake
City office of the survey indicate a
marked increase in zinc output, and
increase in lead and copper yield, as
compared with 1914. The copper pro-
auction however, was below that OF
1913, when Nevada had a record out
