BIG YEAR FOR MINES.

BIG YEAR FOR MINES.
The accomplishment Of the min
ing industry in the six-month period
Just completed warrants the forecast
that 1916 is to be ecord-breaking
year" With this statement the direc-
tor Of the United States geological
survey sums up his oficial mid-year
review Of the mineral industry as re-
ported to him by the government
gsologists and statisticians covering
the different subjects. Active de-
mands and good prices have furnish
ed the mine operators with full op-
portunity for success in working de-
veloped properties. and this in turn
has given added incentive and avail
able funds for exploration, prospect
ing, and experimentation with new
processes. The mining man is hav-
ing his innings"
Summarizing the special reports
which are now being made public,
Director Smith continues his review:
.'The returns for six months furn-
ish a basis for the belief that 1915
win set up new record for the soft
coal mines. Every coal mining state
is sharing in this prosperity and OF
course this demand for coal is to be
traced back to the increased busi-
ness of the railroads and Of the steel
and other large industries.
saThe Portland cement industry has
had busy six months and the manu-
facturers are optimistic. 1t is pre-
dicted that in both production and
shipments OF cement this year will
show a gain over last year. II indeed
it does not establish new record for
cement.
Among the metals copper is con-
tinuing the steady increase in pro-
duction which began early last year,
and the forecast for 1916 indicates
not only the largest output ever
known but also the largest profits.
Most precious metal mines are
operating at full capacity. The gold
production will probably fall below
the high yield of last year. but silver
the one metal last to benefit by tht
general domestic prosperity, is ex
pected this year to break all previous
records.
"In quicksilver the outlook is TO
a continuance Of the output Of 1915
which was the largest for severa
years. Thus far in 1915 the averag
price has greatly exceeded the 191
prices; and although the reaction i
prices has come, conditions are fay
orable for steady and profitable opel
alton OF the quicksilver mines, som
OF which are newly opened.
MANY states are experiencing a
ore production in excess OF smelte
capacity. The value OF the 1916 ou
put OF copper is expected to be doub'
that of last year. Throughout Nevad

l. p.
You could not be happy with a man
so selfish. 1t was objectionable for
him to act the way he did about TAX
ing you home late at night | think
you did the right thing in breaking
your engagement.
years ago l met a young man whom
l admired very much He was study
ing to be a lawyer He was a very
dear friend to a boy friend of mine
and he came to see me several times.
Then he told my friend that he thought
it was a waste of time TO come to see
me and he also told one of my girl
friends the same thing. l didn't learn
of his remarks until a few months
ago and all this time I have been very
nice to him just IS though he thought
| amounted to something When |
learned the truth | thought | would
be less friendly the next time we met
We haven't met, but I received a let
ter from him. He is with the troops
on the border His letter was very
friendly and courteous and he asked
me several questions. / do not intend
to answer it. and | don't know how
to treat him when he gets back and
we meet again. What would YOU do?
DOUBTFUL.
Give the boy the benefit of the doubt
and try to believe that there is some
mistake about the remarks he made
Perhaps they We're exaggerated, or if
the whole truth were known he quail
lhed his remarks by something else
which made them less uncomplimen-
tary Nothing can be gained b. re-
sentiulness When YOU meet he lust
as friendly as YOU always have been.

his letter.
