CHISANA GOLD OUTPUT
 PLACED AT $135,000

The future prospects of Chisana as a producer are very discouraging un- less more discoveries and new pay is found that that which is already be- ing worked. Up to August 18th the James-Nelson properties had only yielded $155, ,714.S5, with only 20 feet of ground left on No. G. which will probably bring the full production of these properties up to about $780, o00 These figures are still lower than the estimated production which was placed at $175,000. Taking the production of the James-Nelson prop critics as 30 per cent. of the total pro- duction of the camp, Skookum Gulch and No. ?, Little Eldorado creek ex- cepted, the total production for the present year will be about $135,O00. Had it been possible for Range on Skookum and Whitman on Little FL dorado to put in a good sluicing sea son, instead of being handicapped for want of water, these figures would have been materially increased, bring ing the possible output for the sea son up to $175,00O.
 The James Nelson people are going right ahead with their ditch with an idea of going over the ground which Hamshaw worked as well as figuring very strong on the side pay. They have stated at different times that it was possible to get two-bit pans in Hamshaw tailing piles, but Ham shaw's foreman, with an enviable re- cord as miner in the lower country and considered one of the best, if not the best, in the Chisana district has never been able to obtain the results which the James-N elscn people claim. All of claims No. 4,5, 5-Fraction and 6-Bonanza Creek as well as No. 1 and No. l-Fraction Little Eldorado will be worked out This is the ground which the James-Nelson people figure on hydraulicing next season. As virgin ground, and the best of it at that, it produced less than $175,000. They will also find as Hamshaw found it, that there is practically no "side -pay' The creeks are so narrow in that dis trict that in some places, and not a few at that, the cuts run from rim to rim,b but where the cuts do not run from rim to rim, the pay cuts off short and does not gradually peter out as is most often the case and where there is anything about the Hamshaw old workings that will jus tify the installing of hydraulic plant is one which the miners of Chis-

John Barlycorn won another victory yesterday. It seems that A. J.

duction of each mineral in 1913 and lone 4S-millionth of the product in 1876.
 The space along one of the outside alsles is devoted to a series of cases, illustrating what our common things are made off, what the raw material looks like as it is obtained from the earth, and where it occurs in the United States. For example, many of the familiar household articles are there, such as an aluminium saucepan, an electric-bulb filment, and foun- tain pen point; and above each par ticle is shown the mineral from which it is made, traced back to the ore, and then map of the United States show ing where the ores occur. Most of these individual maps have been pre- pared especially for this exhibit.
 At the west end of the space is an exhibit of the power and fuel re- sources of the United States, includ- ing maps showing the distribution of the black shale from which oil is de- rived and the apparatus used in the field in determining the shales that are worth studying.
 In order to show the transparencies included in the exhibit to the best advantage, arcades resembling mine entrances have been built at the corn CTS of the space. The methods of work in the survey are illustrated by d series of cases showing by set of partial results how maps are made and other features of the work.
 In the portion of the exhibit relat- ing to water resources is display of automatic gages being run by clock work and recording the fluctuating height of water in tank.
 One feature of the exhibit is the stereoscopic pictures, resembling the old mutoscope views but of modern ized type. There are arranged in box es fifty each on table at which one may sit and study leisurely carious features of survey work. There are also shown four series of pictures of the Grand Canyon and Rock Mountain region, taken in the early days of the Geological Survey.
