normal rates would be charged that the
national committee finally voted to send

PETROLEUM OUTPUT IN
1915 A NEW RECORD
Total Yield ApprOXimates
291.4OO.O0O Barrels. Says
L. S. Expert.

wAsuiSGroN. Dec. 3l.--A bulletin is
sued to-day by the United States GeS-
logical Survey on the petroleum rroduc-
tion In 1915 says In part
preliminary estimates Of the total
yield of petroleum for 1915 Indicate a
slight increase over the record breaking
yield in 1914. This condition does not
agree with the currently reported reason
for the exceptionally high prices now
prevailing for motor fuel
As a result OF the overload put on
the transporting and refining phases of
the petroleum industry BY the excess
output Of crude petroleum In 1914 the
year 1915 may he characterized as n
period Of read djustment IN which pro-
duCtion activity was purposely retarded
AS far as practicable. The small in
| crease therefore is more significant than
the simple figures suggest.
| According to John u. Northrop Of
the United States Geological Survey. the
marketed production Of petroleum in the
! United States In 1915 approximated
e67,i0o. 000 barrels and the total yield
approXimated 29l, 400, 900 barrels. about
$4,000, 900 barrels Of oil brought to the
surface during the year being placed in
! field storage by the producers"
Tho marketed petroleum In the fee
! States was: California, $4,000, 900 bar
rels Oklahoma, so.0oo.oOo Texas. c6,.
| 100000; Illinois, ls.5O0. 900. ard Louisi-
ana. IS.500.000.
The stocks Of crude petroleum held ny
pipe line companies at the end Of 1915
amounted to approximately 5000 00C
barrels, including the oil retained ir
storage by certain oil companies that
conducted pipe line business AT tn,
beginning OF the year hut which bust
ness was taken over and later conducted
by separate pipe line companies. Thi:
reserve is approximately $4,000 600 bar
iels greater than at the end Of 1914.

WAsHiSGToN. Dec. 3l.-A report
made public to-day ny the United States
Geological Survey shows that the mining
industry Of tho country prospered In
the past year.
In the Western States the metal pro-
duotion registered an increase in value
OF more than $3.50, 900. 900 over the ilg-
ures for 1914, the years increase In
OUTPUT for the principal metals. meas

Survey officials believe that when the
fun returns are in they will show that
1915 was the country's most pro-
ductlve year In the mining industry.
revealing a value probably of at least
s2.50o 100000.
In the response TO bettered conditions
tho production figures for copper. iron
and zinc show the largest increase. The
copper mines passed all records for pre-
vious years. the 1915 output having a
value OF s2s6.00o,0oo. or SS.0oO.0oo
more than the value OF tho 1914 produc-
ton. The statistics and estimates re-
ccived place the output OF blister and
lake copper at 1895 100000 pounds or
more than 120,000.o00 pounds In excess
OF the largest previous production and
is per cent. above last years figures.
Only twice In the history OF copper min
ing has there been larger increase In
quantity of metal produced.
Iron Ore Ship-ncnts.
The total shipments OF iron ore from
the mines In the United states in 1915
are estimated 10 have exceeded $4,000, 600
gross tons. an increase over 1914 Of
more than Ss per cent Based on the
same price as received In 1914, this
represents an Increase in total value OF
about s27.6t5.O00. The increase In zig
iron is estimated at 6,500.Oo0 tons. with
"a total increase In value Of pig iron pro-
duction Of more than Sl20,00o.QO0
