According to the Report of the
Geological Survey for First
Half of the Year.

WASHINGTON, July There has
been a greatly increased activity
among the manganese mines of the
Emitted States during the first six
months Of 1916. This activity is
shown by the operation of new mines
the reopening of old mines, and more
regular production from the mines al
ready active. There is a prospect that
the production for the entire year, ac-
cordlng to D. F. Hewett Of the United
States Geological Survey, will greatly
exceed that for 1915, which was 1851
tons, the largest since 1901. Several
discoveries are reported from Arizo-
ma, California, Oregon, Utah and Vir-
glnia, and there are new operations
in Arkansas, California, New Mexico
Utah and Virginia.
During the first quarter of 1916 the
prices Of all grades Of manganese ore
rose rapidly to the highest figures
recorded in thirty years. Prices Of
sixty to slxty-five cents a unit for ore
containing forty-fve to fifty per cent
of manganese and more than one per
cent of iron were freely offered about
April l, and it is reported that seventy
cents a unit, or SOS a ton was paid fol-
several lots. During the second quar-
ter prices remained constant at these
figures. Large quantities Of Brazilian
ore continue to be received, and there
is a prospect that the imports will
exceed those for 1915, which were the
largest on record with the exception
Of one previous year,
Several new producers have entered
the ferromanganese field and al
though imports from England appear
10 be greater than last year, 1t ap-
nears that the domestic production for
1915 will be the largest in the history
OF tho country. Prices for ferroman-
ganese for immediate felive:y in

MAGNESLA MINES
ARE MORE ACTIVE

March reached the highest figure ever
ecorded-$425 a ton for small lots
and large quantities we're sold for
$3.50 to $500 a ton. For delivery with
in six months the price has remained
constant at S175 ton. During the
second quarter pr receded to 1850
a ton for immediate delivery.
As long as the present demand for
steel continues there is little pros
pect for greatly reduced prices Of
either manganese ore or ferromanga-
nese, and even If peace is declared
during the winter prices can scarce
" decline to normal for at least six
months or year.
Producers of manganese ore par
ticularly should realize that never
before for so long a period has there
been a better opportunity for the
profitable mining Of manganese ore
They should realize also that this
condition can not continue indefinite
ly.

per is indicated, together with small
gains in lead and zinc, fifteen per
cent decrease in gold and little
change in silver This output, how
ever, represents large gain in value
of mine production. Mining has also
been stimulated in Montana, and the
forecast indicates an increase of
sixty per cent in the value of the
mine product over that of last year.
Here also record outputs may be ex-
pected for 1916. Idaho mines are
increasing their shipments in all the
metals. with higher wages and larger
dividends as the result of better
prices.
Utah is experiencing an ore pro-
duction in excess of smelter capacity
The value Of the 1916 output of cop
per Is expected to be double that of
lust year. Through Nevada the old
term "boom" best expresses the pres
ent mining revival. Old mines are
being reopened and regular pro-
ducers are working at full capacity
The chief gains in production will be
in copper, lead and zine. The in
creased activity in the mining indus
try in California is finding express
sion largely in the reopening of
mines that have been long idle and
the opening of new mines for crome,
tungsten, manganese, anthony and
magnesite, rail shipments of these
ores to the East being possible by
prevailing high prices. Washington
is another state which shows increas-
ed production, the mining industry
there being in better condition than
for several years past. Alaska is
benefting by the increased activity
of its mines. Copper mining is show
ing great advances, and the output OF
both copper and gold promises to ex-
coed that Of last year.
