Sierra Nevada incline station, four
cars of ore were saved averaging
$3S,75 per ton. In the raise to the
2450 level in the southwest drift,
20 feet of air pipe and ladders were
put in, and repairs made.
The joint work of the Sierra Ne
vada and Union included the install
lation of a blower and fan at the
Sierra Nevada incline $500 station
and the southwest drift leading from
the station to the Union shaft was
cleaned out and repaired 20 feet;
total distance in repair 80 feet.
Joint work was also performed at
the 1900 level of the Union shaft,
and in the raise to the 2450 level.
The Sierra Nevada company in
the main north drift from the in
cline station. timbered where neces-
sary and cleaned out the drift and
laid track for Is feet. This WORK
is preliminary to prosecuting for the
vein.
The Andes has found the con-
nection between the $50 level of the
Ophir and the $50 level of the An

connection is now being repaired, to
give access to the lover levels OF
the Andes. which has been found in
excellent condition.

Track. floor, etc, was laid in the old
north drift on the 200 level.
At the Jacket = Crown Point - Bel
cher Mines company the mill re-
ceived 924 tons of dump rock and
a bar of bullion was shipped to the
smelter. Concrete foundations were
installed under two of the mills,
which were idle during the week. In
the mine the new pump on the 1900
station of the joint incline has been
started and is working well. The
water was lowered IS feet in the in
cline and the water is being held at
the 125-foot point below the 1900
level on the incline. On the 1900
level from the Belcher raise. he
ore stopped was mixed with rock from
the new raise for ore chute. The
latter raise was carried up 80 feet
above the track and sc cars of mill
rock saved. Repairs were made on

DEAL Is MADE ON THE
\ KOIAHECK GOLD MINES

C. M. Lund, who recently inter-
ested Salt Lake capital in the Will
low creek district, has secured an
option on Cleve creek, at a stated
price of $500, 900. The group con
sists of 23 claims, upon some of
which a large amount of develop
ment work has been done. BY care
full sampling Lund finds that one
vein 80 feet in width will run about
$50 in gold and silver. while n
other vein eight feet wide will aver
age about $40. 1t is estimated that
100 900 tOns of ore is now on the
Jumps and in sight in the various
workings. Considerable ore has
been shipped and milled from the
property which averaged from sac
to $50 per ton. Mr.. Lund has al
ready partially financed the propo-
sition, and will have a force of men
at work on the property in the near
future. He expects to leave for the
east soon to complete arrangements
for the complete financing of the
proposition.

USE Of NATURAL GAS
INCREASES LARGELY

Satisfies compiled under the super
vision of j. ID. Northrop of the Unit
ed States geological survey show that
the quantity of natural gas CONNER
cially utilized in the United States
in 1914 exceeded that so utilized in
any previous year in the history OF
the natural gas industry. The guam
tity produced which amounted to APP
proximately 591,S66, 900 cubic
cubic feet, valued at $94,115,524,
constitutes a new record of produc-
ton, exceeding by nearly ten billion
cubic feet, or almost 2 per cent, the
former record, established in 1913.
Increases in output in 1914 over
1913 we're credited to New York,
Ohio, Oklahoma, Texas, Louisiana,
Alabama, Iowa and California, the
state last named alone recording a
gain of nearly seven billion cubic
feet. Other gas-producing states
record declines in output, the great
est of which, that of Pennsylvania,
amounting to slightly more than ten
billion cubic feet.
The increases in gas production
may be attributed to various causes
in New York to the increased
drilling activity stimulated by the
advancing petroleum market in 1913
and the early part of 1914; in Ohio
to local extension of the productive
f;n1Ie rf Tho n holt ~ Tho oantVol
part of the state and to the develop
ment of an important gas pool in the
vicinity of Cleveland, Cuyahoga coun-
ty; in Oklahoma to the development
of gas reserves in the Cushing field,
Creek county, and the Healdton
field, Carter county, as well as to a
decided expansion of the local cas-
inghead gasoline industry; in Texas
to a greater utilization of the gas
supplies available in the Petrolia and
Mexican fields; in Louisiana to the
greater development of the gas re-
serves in Caddo and De Soto parish
es; and in California to increased
demands for domestic consumption
in Los Angeles and adjacent towns
in the southern part of the state as
well as for industrial consumption
in the casinghead gasoline industry.
or the record breaking production
OF natural gas credited in 1914 it is
estimated that a total of 2O3,1O4.-
$4,000 cubic feet, about "a Der
cent, was supplied to domestic con.
sumers at an average price of 2S.O1
cents a thousand cubic feet and that
3SS,762,375,OO cubic feet-the re-
naming &C per cent-was supplied
to industrial consumers at an aver
& price of $50 cents a thousand
cubic feet. During the last four
years the ratio of domestic to indus.

tlVely greater proportion of the an.

ALARMED OVER
BIRTH AND DEATH RATE

LONDON. Sept. 5.-The recent re-
turns on the British infant birth and
death rate are characterized as
''distinctly alarming" by the Lon
don Lancet.
The continued fall in the birth
rate. which has now reached the
lowest level heretofore recorded,
may have many explanations, the
journal comments editorially, but
the factor of the deliberate limita-
ton of families, whether from pro-
vident or selfish motives, can no
longer be ignored.
The Lancet says that there has
never been a time in England that
employment has been so easy to OBJ
tain and so much money distribu :
ted among the poor through good
wages and women's separation al
lowances, yet these very facts may
have contributed to the increased
infant mortality rate since they have
given idle mothers more money to
spend on drink. Epidemic disease
is another factor in raising the rate,
owing to the death of doctors and
nurses now engaged in military hos
pitfalls.
AS for the deliberate limitation
of births. not only the middle and
upper classes but the working class
in late years are held to blame.
Even the reports about the great
number of war babies seem now to
have been largely baseless.

The sinking of the Gypsy Queen
shaft is being pushed vigorously with
three shifts of miners, a depth of
1926 feet being reached. A very
encouraging discovery was made re-
Gently in the bottom of the shaft,
where a series of highly m~ineralized
s%tringers has been cut. Samples O.
these stringers, which were seeen by
a representative Of the Miner, are
specimens of black sulphide quartz,
showing every evidence of carrying
values, although nc assays had yet
been made. The management is en-
thusiastic over this discovery and
feels that a reasonable amount of
further work will lead to a body of
ore. This is by no means an id'e
speculation, in consideration of the
fact that the shaft for some time has
been passing through the ore-bearing

FAILED TO BRING
HOME THE BACON"

A long, lean pot hound" carrying
In his mouth a neatly wrapped side Of
very sweet smelling 81 bacon, trotted
up to Traffic officer Jim Pilkington
while on duty at the corner Of Third
and Main last night at o'clock and
respectfully laid his bundle down.
Whereof the canine felt under per-
sonal obligations to Jim, nobody
knows and Jim refuses to tell He
even declined TO accept the present.
Stung and sighted by Pilhngton's
ingratitude, the hound resumed his
journey with the meat In less than
block he encountered Motorcycle Off
Ger Hughes. Beans" wanted the meat,
so he took 1t by force despite the re-
sistance Of the owner which would
hardly have given II up had he not
burned his nose on the engine scuf-
fling with Hughes.
No further attention was paid the
dog, but the meat was taken TO the
police station and officially confis-
Gated. Two special policemen were
Immediately dispatched to find out
where the dog got the meat and what
his objection TO Il was that prompted
him TO give it away As all stores had
closed, nothing was learned.

WHEAT PRICE FALLS
BREAD The SAME
Local Bakers Pleased at
Break" in the
Market.

Since it was announced to the Tulsa
people that they would be paying G
cents for loaf bread before the winter
was over. the wheat market has
dropped cents. A fall OF cents
came last SATURDAY. and the market
dropped cents more yesterday. 1t
may not go back to $1.41 think the
local wheat buyers. but It does not
seem probable that the bottom will
drop out Of the market, in view Of
the foreign demand.
The Tulsa bakers who contracted
for enough flour several weeks ago 70
tide them over the tall" price, may
be able now to avoid the embarrass-
ment Of asking the Tulsans for cents
I'm payment for a loaf Of bread They
can at any rate II the price falls many
days at Mondays rate.
Only about 10 per cent of the local
wheat croD is still i'm the hands OF the
Tulsa county farmers. Some Of them
were so surprised when the wheat
market first went 10 n dollar a bushel
that thew turned loose their crop. 9th
ers were more fortunate still and

they began TO sell. The supply OF

wheat is concerned and the farmers
have sold their wheat when they were
able to get most for IT,

cumstances to play right into the hand
