district, in Idaho, and that Ralrb
Beane, half brother Of Clarence n

some rich ore that goes from 500 to

The production of silver In Mon.

against 13,S19,201 ounces in 1919 ~
the total yield of silver In 1914, S,O15..
694 ounces came from copper ores.
against 1871 ,807 ounces in 1919 and
1,249,655 ounces came from dry or 81

There is more gold in the United
states than in any other country in
the world. The latest treasury fig.
ures show that on August 2 there was
$2,O06,399,539 in gold cash and bullion
the greatest stock of gold of any
country in the world, probably greater
than any other two countries in the
world.
The production of copper in Mon.
tana decreased from 2S7,S2S. 69S
pounds in 1913 to 23S,229,64O pounds
in 1914. Silver Bow county contrib
uted all the output in 1914, except l.
O41,012 pounds. Broadwater county
ranked second, contributing 4S4,977
pounds in 1914, against S98,791 pounds
in 1913.
In 1914 the value of the Secondary
metals" exclusive of gold, silver,
platinum, iron and steel, recovered in
the United States was $57 1898, 7O6, &C.
cording to ]. P. Dunlop of the United
States geological survey. This is
decrease from 1913 of SIS, 746,321, the
secondary metals recovered in that
year being valued at $72,7S6,O27.
Suit has been commenced against
the Ohio Copper company by the EN-
pire Trust company of New York to
foreclose mortgage given to secure
100000 worth of bonds issued by
the Ohio Copper company and to de-

Germs claiming certain rights to the

Shipments of ore from the Prince
Consolidated the first week in August
amounted to .sixty-one carloads. This
is estimated at 1880 tons, and is val.
ued at $4,000 to $4,000. The ship
ments for the preceding week totaled
fifty-ive cars. This makes 116 car
loads forwarded to the Utah smelters
in the past two weeks, or $500 tons.
Murray Scott, the we'll known pros
pector who discovered Wonder, Awak-
ening and several other Nevada min
ing camps, has made another find,
with indications that it will eclipse
any and all of his former locations,
says the Winnemucca Silver State.
The new camp has been named Al
pine, and is situated fifty miles south
west of Austin.
Montana's mine yield of gold, silver,
copper, lead and zinc in 1914 was val
ued at $47,S49,747, against $61,9OO,546
in 1913, according to Victor c. Heikes
of the United States geological sur
vey. The decrease, $14,050,799 was
due principally to the curtailment OF
the copper output caused by the Eu'
ropean war, which affected prices and
the state production.
From Idaho come reports that
rush has started for the new gold md
at Yankee Fork, Custer county, In
which Clarence E, Eddy, well known
of Salt Lake, stands
out as a prominent figure, who is like
ly to emerge from the excitement not
with another book of western poems
to his credit, but probably weighted
down with the cares Of a millionaire.
The ore producers in Montana mum
bered 1858 in 1914, against 4Sl In 1915
and the number of producers OF placer
gold was lat, against 1913 in 1913 the
total quantity of ore mined ana
treated was 5,12S,956 tons, against o.
$50, 11S tons in 1913, but the total aV'
erage recovery per ton OF ore ae-
terms in the state penitentiary as sell
creased from $1O.25 in 1913 to Ss.l4 In
1914.
