1t is, of course, through the collec-
ton of detailed statistics from indi-
vidual producers that the specialist is
able to keep SO closely in touch with
his subject that his preliminary esti-
mates have high value for approx
mate accuracy. Some advances have
been made in the date of publication
Of the final statistical reports, but
here the compiler encounters the
difficulty of obtaining full and prompt
cooperation from a very small minor

gain of weeks in the date of publica-

might be made, but only at a sacri-

standard of accuracy maintained by
the man of scientific training shows
itself in his aversion to round figures.
The survey will continue to seek i'm
provement in the promptness of issue
of the final reports, but the public
need for authoritative mineral sta

will be met by estimates published

STATISTICS AS A
GUIDE TO VALUES

A leading trade Journal In recent
editorial commented upon the United
States geological surveys "enviable
reputation for accuracy and precise
ness throughout all its different
branches" but added that in main
tanning this accuracy the survey had
lin the past shown a tendency to
ignore the necessity for promptness
in placing its vast store of statistical
data before the public"
The obvious difficulty of giving to
the public statistical data that are
accurate and yet not somewhat out of
date has been met since 1910 by
supplementing the complete detailed
reports with the publication in the
first week of January Of preliminary
estimates of mineral production for
the year just ended. These new-year
statements have now attained a de-
gree of accuracy that not only meets
the practical needs of most users of
this information, but also robs the
later complete reports of their news
value
Thus the surveys estimate of the
gold output of Alaska for 1915, pub
lished January 1, 1916, was less than
IL per cent in excess of the final
figures made public about four
months later. and Alaskas excep-
tionally large yield of copper was
estimated within per cent. For the
last two years the preliminary esti-
mates of the coal output of the
United States were only four-tenths
OF l per cent and 26 per cent in
error; for the more cratic petroleum
Industry the estimates of marketed

WASHINGTON. Dec. 12.-Every
member of President Wilson's cabi
net, with the possible exception OF
Attorney General Gregory, expects to
remain in Office after March 4. II
was learned definitely that all OF
them have been asked to continue
their posts.
Reports concerning possible resig
nations have centered chiefly around
Secretaries McAdoo. Houston and
Baker, and the attorney general. II
has been taken for granted that Post
master General Burleson and Secre
taries Lansing, Daniels and Wilson
would remain. and indefinite rumors
that Secretary Redfeld might wish
TO retire to private business were
denied some time ago.
Secretary McAdoo personally de
MED that he had any intention OF
resigning. Regarding Mr. Houston
Il became known that the officials
Of Washington university at st. Louis
have extended his leave OF absence
as chancellor of that institution so
that he can continue as head of the
department of agriculture.
Although Secretary Baker has been
credited with a desire to leave the
cabinet, 1t is learned that in all like
lihood he will remain. It is under
stood, however. that there is pos
sibility that he might be shifted Ia
the department of justice if Mr.
Gregory insists on resigning and that
Vance Mccormick, chairman of the
Democratic national committee, may
be placed in charge of the war de
partment.
In the attorney generals case. tn,
reports about his intention to resign
have been very circumstantial ant
have been generally accepted as tru
by officials. although he has give

B|GYEAR FOR MINES
&c illogical Surveys Mid-Year
Review Shows General
Prosperity

''The accomplishment of the mining
industry in the six.month period just
completed warrants the forecast that
1916 is to be a record breaking year.
With this statement the Director of the
United States Geological Survey sums
up his official mid year review of the
mineral industry as reported to him by
the Government geologists and stats
ticians covering the different subjects.
"Active demands and good prices have
furnished the mine operators with full
opportunity for success in working de-
veloped properties, and this in turn has
given added incentive and available
funds for exploration, prospecting, and
experimentation with new processes.
The mining man is having his innings. ,"
Shipments of iron ore from Lake Su
perior points for five months of 1916 ex-
ceeded by more than 80 per cent of those
for the same months in 1916, and the
indications for the year are favorable
lOI d uGW ulSu I0COLu Ou 1IOu-OIC pIO-
duction, and of pig iron as we'll. High
er prices with a steady demand are
stimulating the mining of manganese,
with the result that this years output
of ore is expected to surpass the large
production Of last year.
The lead and zinc mines are produc-
ing ore at rate even exceeding that of
last year and the prevailing prices have
made possible the working of large
quantities Of low grade ore.
Says Secretary Lane: That the min
ing industry is making many new rec
ords in the extent and success Of its
business must be taken as an index of
the nations general prosperity. Best
Of all, 1915 is regist- ring another ad-
vance in the growing independence of
the United States as producer of the
many materials that civilization has
made necessary. Our country is COM
ing into it's own
