cOrporated to take over the holdings
of Geo. Boyle, Geo. Cheney and r.
Moyle at Sacramento pass, neal Os-
ceola. This is a gold property car
rying values in tungsten, which ex-
ist in the form of scheelite. 1t is an
old property, having been worked
many years ago, but only recently
have the tungsten values been
known to exist in the ores.
The mines are situated about
eight miles north of Osceola in Sac
ramentO pass. So far only develop
ment work has been done from which
some ore has been taken out for
shipment in order to determine a
suitable process for treatment. A
small plant will be installed and is
partly under way at the present time
and when returns are received from
the ore shipped and the process de-
cided upon. the mill will be complet-
ed. Should development work prove
a sufficient tonnage of ore no doubt
a larger plant will be erected, but
so far the mine is still considered as
a prospect. There are nov 30 men
employed on the property.-Ely Rec
ord.

ANCIENT HUMAN SKULL

OF interest in connection with ths
tertiary gold-bearing river gravels
of California is the story of the
Calaveras skull. For a time this
skull attracted much attention not
only from people in California, but
from scientific men the world over.
1t was reported to have been found
in 1866. near the town of Angeles.
Calaveras county, at a depth of 1870
feet, in tertiary gravels underlying
tertiary lava. The finding OF a hui
man skull embedded in such d posits
was for a time believed to indicate
than man had been in existence in
North America longer than had been
supposed. Strange to say, the skull
is of a higher type than skulls which
although known to antedate histor-
ic times, are known also to be much
younger than the tertiary. Although
Y. d. Whitney, then state geologist.
accepted the skull as a bit of gem
uine scientific evidence, it is gener.'
ally believed by students of the m
tiquity of man that the Calaveras
skull, while undoubtedly old, prob
ably did not come from the aurifar

already has an assay office under

And what is more to the point for

Murderer Still Unknown

Although testimony at the coron-
er's inquest by DR.. A. U. Stahdert in
dicated that the shot which killed
Stewart Barber, an eight-year-old
boy of Reno, while he was playing
in the back yard of his home, was
fired from a distance not greater
than twenty feet, the identity of the
person who fired the shot is still a
puzzle to the Reno authorities. The
lads two brothers were sitting on
the back porch of their home when
the shot was fired, but nothing lead
ing to the identity of the slayer
could be revealed by them. A 32
caliber empty cartridge was found
beneath the porch upon which the
brothers were sitting, and in the
opinion of the officers it had been
fired shortly before being found. The
mystery is further deepened by the
fact that the family is not in posses
sion of a gun of that caliber and no
reason can be given for the presence
of the fired shell beneath the porch.

hopes that we will be ready to &C.
cept contracts for the hauling of ore
on the Nevada Short Line from the
foot of Rochester hill to the mill of
the Rochester Mines company by
Aug. go" said Mr.. Codd, president
of the road, upon his arrival here to-
day. "At the worst the delay in the
arrival of equipment can only be
temporary, and next week will un-
doubtedly see a revolution in the
transportation methods of Roches-
ter"
In addition to the Shea engine
that is returning from the shops
where it was sen after the runaway
in upper Rochester canyon. Codd
said that he had contracted for n
other 3O-ton Shea, which is to have
early delivery. Among other recent
ly acquired rolling stock are several
25-ton air brake ore cars.
Work on the extension Of the Ne
vada Short Line from Rochester to
the foot of the tramway on Roch-
ester hill was begun last spring, the
two miles of line having been rap
idly constructed with the exception
of an interruption that came when
the Shea engine with two cars OF
ties and steel ran away and were
ditched.

CLOSE ESTIMATE
ON QUICKSILVER
ACTUAL PRODUCTION CHECKS
UP WITH GOVERNMENT PRE-
LINfINARY FIGURES

The final figures for the produc-
ton of quicksilver in the United
States in 1914. as received by H. d.
McCaskey, of the United States geo
logical survey, are only one-tenth Of
l per cent less than the figures Civ
en- to the public in the preliminary
estimate of Jan. 1, 1914. The pre-
liminary figures given were 1868
TASKS of rs pounds each, having a
total value of $S11,S32. The final
figures are 16,54S TASKS, valued Mt
$S11,6S0, showing a decreased out
put of 1865 TASKS compared with
the production of 1913. This de-
crease was entirely due to a much
smaller yield from California. The
production from California which
amounted to 1851 TASKS, valued at
$627,22S. in 1913, was only 1903
TASKS valued 1t ~$554,414 in 1914.
The production of Nevada increas-
ed from 1915 TASKS, valued at $685.
IFS. in 1913, to 2,0S9 TASKS valued
at $102,465, in 1914. The COM
blned output of Arizona and Texas
increased from 2,977 TASKS. valued
at $119,765 in 1913, to 3.156 TASKS,
valued at $154,S01, in GA.
The average San Francisco price
from January to July ranged from
1926 to $3.50 a flask. During the
last five months of 1914 the price
fluctuated greatly and sales were re-
ported exceeding 500 a flask. The
average San Francisco price for 1914
was $49.05, against $40.23 in 1918
and $42.05 in 1912.
None of the mines in Oregon
Utah, or Washington reported an
production in 1914, and the output
was derived from 20 properties in
California, eve in Nevada, and
three in Arizona and Texas.

be submitted before Judge Stoddard.
The case first came into prominence

that time was attending the Univer-

U.S.. COAL OUTPUT
LAST YEAR LARGE
PRODUCTION EXCEEDED IN on
LY TWO PREVIOUS YEARS
1912 AND 1918

The production of coal In the
United States in 1914 was exceeded
by that in only two previous years,
1912 and 1913. In 1914 the total
production of anthracite and bitupl-
inous coal amounted to 513,525,477
short tons, valued at 1851 ,490,643
according to C. E. Lesher of the
United States geological survey. In
1918, the year of greatest produc-
ton, the total was 569,960,219 short
tons.
In 1914 the value of both BIZ
luminous and anthracite coal de-
creased slightly more than the tom
mage but the decrease in anthracite,
the more valuable output, was slight.
The production of anthracite in
PENNSYLVANIA decrease from S"1,71S,-
$50 long tons, (91,524,922 short
tons). valued at $195,1S1,127 in
1913 to S1,090.631 long tons valued
at s1SS,1S1,339 in 1914.
The total production of. bitumi-
nous coal and Ignite decreased from
47S.435, 297 short tons in 1913 val
ued at $565,234,925 to 422,703,970
tons in 1914 valued at $493.309,244.
The decrease in the production Of
anthracite was due in part to mild
weather during the winter in the
area where it is used almost exclu-
sively for a domestic fuel and in
part to decrease exports to Canada.
The decrease in the production Of
bituminous coal vas generally dis
tributed over the country, but there
we're seven states in which the pro-
duction in 1914 was greater than
in 1918. Two of these states, North
Dakota and South Dakota, produce
Ignite only, and make relatively
small output. New Mexico's in
crease was due to ability to supply
markets ordinarily furnished by coal
from Colorado, which in 1914 suf-
fered from a serious strike. The 9th
er states that showed an increase
were West Virginia, Kentucky, Ore
gon and Michigan. The greatest de-
crease was in PENNSYLVANIA, whose
output fell off almost 26,000,0 900
tons. The most notable decrease
was in Ohio, where because of the
strikes, the decrease was over H.
100000 tons. or nearly half, as
compared with 1913.
