METALS OUTPUT
FOR PAST YEAR

The annual report of Secretary
Lane. of the Interior department,
contains the following information
regarding the metals mined in this
country:
The production of gold in the
United States in 1850 vas $4,000
600, while in 1914 the total domes-
tic yield was s94,5OO,0 OO. The
worlds output of gold is approxim-
ately SAC, 900, of which the
United States produces 90 per cent,
1t is not possible to give an ac-
curate estimate of the total reserves
of gold ore in the United States,
but it is safe to assume hat they
are sufficient for a long period OF
years.
Improved processes for the e
traction of gold make possible the
working of great low-grade depos-
its and thus enlarge the visible
supply of ore. Any invention that
tends to lessen the cost of produc-
ton will increase the amount of
ore from which gold may be e
tracted. Equal advances are being
made in the mining and treatment
of low-grade placer gravels by the
introduction of larger and more eff
icient dredges that prac-
tically all of the gold in the gravel.
As in years past, the supply of gold
will continue to come from Cal
-~ la.En Nn1npodn Snnth
Dakota, Nevada and Montana.
Silver Output Larger
The production of silver has
gradually increased until in 1914
the totol amount produced, the
largest ever recorded, was 10000
900 ounces. The silver production
of the world is about $4,000, 900
ounces annually. of which the
United States produces one-third
Practically three-fourths of the
worlds silver production is de-
rived from North America.
The United States produces SC
much more silver than the domess-
tic arts and sciences a assimil-
ate that the price is largely reg
ulated by the foreign demand
There is every reason to believe
that the United States will con
tinue to retain its position as TIE
largest producer of silver and have
a large surplus for exports.

ROCHESTER LESSEES
GET GOOD RETURNS
SENATOR PITT GIVES REPORT
OF RESULTS HE HAS
OBTAINED

In discussing the ore values that
have peer found in the Perry Samp-
son lease and other orebodies on
the property of the Rochester Mer-
ger Mines company in the Rochas-
ter district of which he is presi-
lent, w. C. Pitt said yesterday:
IF these values continue, as We
have every reason to believe thai
they will, we will be forced to
build a cyanide mill with an ap-
proximate daily capacity within the
year.
This ore, which is being sack
ed, assays about $3.50 in gold AID
silver said Senator Pitt. The
vein is about three and a half
feet in width. The $3.50 ore m
from a streak about 10 inches wide,
which runs better than five ounces
in gold. The remainder of tie
values are in silver. We are sack
ing this ore preparatory to sending
it to the smelter.
The remainder of the vein from
which we are taking this $50 ore
runs about $2S to the tos. The
lesser values represent about an
ounce of gold and the remainder sill
yer.
I'm the Pitt tunnel we are drift
ing on the ninth vein. which IS
thought to be the Rochester Four
ledge. In this drift we expect to
strike the pay shoot.
I'VE have drifted about 20 feet
on the vein in which we found the
$3.50 ore and it is growing better

Mayor Mitchell yesterday vetoed and
forwarded to the Governor the two bills
that had contemplated the removal OF
the New York CentraPs West Side
tracks and the electrifcstion OF the com
pany's lines in the city within eighteen
months.
In the explanation that accompanied
the two documents the Mayor said that
his intention was to vote for the tenta-

New York Central. now pending before
the Board of Estimate. II was the fear
that any legislation at Albany might
delay or permanently prevent its ratifi-
cation that caused him to oppose the
measures, he explained.
An opinion from the Corporation
Counsel, cited by Mayor Mitchell in his
remarks accompanying the two veoted
bills, set forth that the enactment into
law of the two measures would bring
about an abrupt termination of the
