surveys western offices contain most significant mining records. Every western state shows large increase in yield of metals, Arizona leading with a gain of s100,0O0,000 over last year, while Utah and Mon- tana together report another $1O0,- 000,000 gain. Alaska also had it's best year, contributing a total value of more than s5O,OOO,OOO this year, or over 50 per cent in excess of any previous year.
 These advance statements not only show that 1916 marks a new advance for the mineral industry of the country, but this remarkable in- crease promises to be approximately g. per cent over the 1915 production. sc that we may expect the final fig ures to show total of three billion dollars.''

ARIZONA MINES PAY INVESTORS BIG
 RETURNS

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1. = Ten mines in Arizona paid $34,OOO,OOO in dividends during the past year. Adding Utah, Montana, Nevada and Idaho dividends to those of Arizona we have a total of over $100,000,- 00o in dividends paid out of the mines of these five western states :n single year.
 These are some of the impressive facts brought out by the report of the geological survey to Secretary Lane just made. Never before D said MT. Lane, -'has so large a draft been made on the natural resources of our country as during this year. and never before have the metals been extracted from these ores with less waste or utilized to better ad- vantage in advancing the general

 With all this activity in metal production the coal mines have had to meet a heavy demand, so that the bituminous coal output has now passed the half-million ton mark, an increase of 12 1-2 per cent over the previous year. Coke production in- creased 30 per cent and it is grati- flying to note that by-product coke made the largest gain, which means a corresponding gain in benzol and other valuable by-products.
 Again the oil wells have given new record for petroleum yield, the estimate of marketed produc- ton of crude petroleum for 1916 be- ing 2,OOO,OOO barrels, or 11,0OO,- 900 barrels more than in 1915.
 Another mineral product which furnishes an index of business con- ditions is cement, the 1916 produc- ton of which is estimated to be B. 100000 barrels in excess of the out put of the previous year, while the shipments were even greater, aggre' gating 94,5OO,OOO barrels, with the outlook reported as good for the new year.
