Production of Gold, Silver, Lead, Cop
 per and Zinc During 1916
 Preliminary estimates of the pro- duction of minerals and metals for the United States and for the various producing states are issued by the United States Geological survey at the close of each year. The figures for 1916, thus far received, show some substantial increases and some de- creases as compared with 1915 and with other previous years.
 The data covering the production of gold and silver prepared by the sur vey in cooperation with the mint shows a decline in the output of gold during 1916 IS compared with 1915 of $S,719,300. and q decline in that of sil- yer in 1916 as compared with 1915 Of 2,077, ,275 fine ounces, but an increase value for the same of 0560, 000
 In production of gold California came first with s22, 300; Colorado, second, with s19, PAP. 300. the others in order following: Alaska, s16.242, 300: Nevada, sS.42S.200 South Dakota, l. 512,2G0; Montana, s4,575, 400: Arizona. s4.97S, 400; Utah. $3,593,000; Oregon. s1.9e1. 500; Philippines. s1549. 600: New Mexico, s1.403000; Idaho. s971700; Washington, s491.S0O; Wyoming. sS3. 800; North Carolina. S29,7OO; Georgia, 0,200; Alabama, s7.000; Tennessee, S6,of0. Other states. each producing to the value of few hundred dollars each, are Virginia, Vermont, South Carolina. Texas and the island of Porto Rico.
 In silver Montana came first with 14,751, ,00O fine ounces, other producing states in the order following: Utah, 12,965,700 ounces; Nevada, 12,7S4, 500; Arizona. 6,711,S00; New Mexico, D. 100000; California, 1,937,5 Alaska, 1.425.S00; Texas, 6S9, 300; Michigan, 2,600; South Dakota, 212,S00; Wash ington, 206. 200; Oregon, 163S0O; Ten nessee, 103 400; Philippines. 17,9OO; Virginia, 4900; Wyoming 4,7e0; Yer mont, 2,000 ounces. Other states with silver production ranging from 100 to 800 fine ounces are Georgia, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Oklaho- ma. and Porto Rico.
 California's production of gold dur ing 1916 was an increase of per cent over the output of 1915, and it was also the largest output the state has had within the last thirty three years With one exception it was the largest Of any one year in fifty-tWO years. This production is the more remarkable because of the fact that for fifty days the richest mines in Amador county and on the Mother Lode were shut down on account of labor trouble. This suspension of work reduced the output at least $500. GOO from what it would otherwise have been.
 The output of silver in California was multiplied by four during 1916 as compared with 1915 and the value of

Aio Camp
 AJO, Ariz. March 1.-The Ajo min ing district is steadily progressing to- ward the goal that has predicted for it by many-that of being one of the biggest copper camps in the west. The Ajo Consolidated property is
 consistently shipping ore, an average of a car a day being taken from the dumps at the old workings. Tbis ore s being shipped to the Copper Queen Smelter at Douglas for treatment. Be- sides this work, the company has three diamond drills at work in various parts of the property. exploring the great ore body. and biocking out the ore fer future mining operations. The Aio Cornelia adjoining, is mak- ing good progress in the sinking of the double compartment shaft. started some time ago. Recent assays taken from the bottom of the shaft indicate increasing values, and Superintendent Ed Grant expects to encounter the main ore body very shortly.
 From surface indications, and work already done on both the Ajo Consoli- dated, and the Ajo Cornelia properties. there is good reason to believe that tho great ore body of the former prop erty continues into the Ajo Cornelia.
 There are three distinct outcrops on the surface about 200 feet apart. which run cast and west directly into the Aio Consolidated. This together with other geological indications, leads eX- perts to believe that the outcrops will come together at depth, and form a continuation of the great AJo Consoll- dated ore body.

the same tripled. The output In cop per in the state was increased about 52 per cent in quantity, and 70 per cent in value. Of lead in California the quantity in 1916 was tripled. the val ue more than quadrupled; of zinc California increased her output 1,306.- eco pounds in quantity and s349, 140 in value. The ratio between quantities and values holds good in other states.
 Gold. Silver. Copper, Lead, Zinc
 For eight leading western states the figures of the survey have been re ceived of the production of gold, s!i- yer, lead and zinc, and they show a total for the five metals during 1916 of s62C,S4l, 400 as compared with s357,- S49.29l during 1915. The states covered in these figures in the order of their 1916 production are as follows: Ari- 7ona. s2o3.OOO, ,OO9: Montana, s145,- 000, ,000: Utah. s97.0O0, GOO; Colorado, s49,O0OO,0O0; Idaho, s47.0O0,000; Cali fornia. s4A S4000; New Mexico, s33,- 4S9. 9.400; Washington. $2G1S,OOO Dur ing 1915 these same states produced as follows Arizona, s9OS06,34 Mon tana, $S5,000,000; Utah, s55,000,00 Colorado. $43426697: Idaho. s33, ,32S,- 930; California. $32. .26SS44: New Mex ico, sI9, ,46S; Washington.

critics have replaced wood by steel in their underground workings.
 Many comparisons are made in the booklet between the relative advan- ages of steel and wood. Some of the econimic wastes avoided by the use of steel are outlined in the booklet as follows:
 ta) Waste from the use of excess material due to the common and convenient practice of framing three piece gangway sets from the same size timbers and the impracticahility of adjusting dimensions nicely to the stresses they have to sustain,
 (b) Waste due to the removal of material in the process of framing conservatively estimated as at least 10 per cent.
 Co Waste from decay caused by insect or bacterial action under the unfavorable condit!ons due to rela- lively and uniformly high temperature and great humidity prevalent ir most mines, estimated at 55 per cent, and often very rapid.
 (d) Waste from fire, a constant danger inseparahle from the ordinary use of wood and sedulously to be avoided underground as well as above ground The preservation of the vita! parts of the mine from fire loss merits the most careful consideration.
 'e) Waste due to the failure to withdraw and re-uSe tin, bering from completed rooms, abandoned head ings, etc. This neglect is caused ir part Dy the relative worthlessness of wood after service. but there is q further menace in poisoned air fdue to decay) and in increa sed fire risk, both of which contribute to the eX persc of mre maintenance.

the climax of his wonderful novel "The Scarlet Letter." at the Lamara today, which William Fox has produced as a lllm drama. He let rare dramatic situation slip through his fingers.
 Dimmesdales confession, after his election sermon comes like pot from the clear sky. No situation had been developed logically to force such an admission of guilt.
 The really dramatic unraye ling of the mystery Hawthorne had built I'D has been adopted by William Fox. This is one of the mary respects in which this magnificent film surrasses tho novel. Hawthorne should nave delayed Dimmesdale's confession until Chillins- worth the arch fiend of the story, had condemned Hester as a witch. Then when this woman was on the stake and the torch about to be applied the suf- fering and heart broken minister should have admitted his guilt to save i her.
 This plot has been followed in the , finn and has produced a situation 2 i hundred fold more dramatic than that : created by the famous author.

United Mines Go. In Producer Class
 1.-The Salome ROnanZal

(The Salome Bonanza)
 One of the busiest properties in the Bouse section is that of the United Mines Company of Arizona, formerly known as the Little Butte mine and located some five miles southwest Of the bustiing and prosperous town of Bouse.
 Under the able direction of Super intendent J. c. Denton, force Of 50 men is developing the property at a high rate of speed and with eminently satisfactory results.
 The main shaft has been sunk to a depth of 425 feet and something more than 2OOO feet of drifting and cross- cutting has been done.
 su,1r has been built from the rail- road to within less than $500 feet Of the property and arrangements are being made for the installation of bins and other ore shipping equipment.
 It is the plan of the management to continue the shaft to depth of SO0 feet at least. and it is said that no further crosscutting will be done un- til that depth is attained.
 number of shipments have been made from the 120-foot level and the returns have been satisfactory in the extreme although, like many other mine managers, Superintendent Den ion finds reason to complain Of ex- cessive smelter charges and deduc- tionS.
 The United Mines property is beau- tifully equipped with duplicate holsts, comDressors and electric light plant and also with ample pumping facill- ties to handle the flow of water in the mine. which is now about forty gal Ions per minute.
 The compressors are oil engines or the latest patterns, the product Of the Chicago Pneumatic Tool company, and of ample size to furnish the necessary power to develop the mine to the SOO- foot level. One of the hoists is the product of the West Coast Gas En- zine company and the other of the Western Gas Engine company. The electric Lighting plant is the Delco system for which McArthur Brothers of Phoenix are the Arizona agents and the little plant affords ample current for the illumination of all the mine offices and buildings. It includes storage battery outfit which maintains the lghts when the plant is not run ming.
 Now that adequate schipping facili- ties have been provided, it is planned to make regular ore consignments to the smelters and it is question of

Remarkable Strike At Mile Wide Cop
 per Company

The big strike made op the Cop per King group of the properties or the Mile Wide Copper company, the last week in February. places the Mile Wide in a class with Magma Copper and Verde Extension.
 Tn fact the strike at the Mile Wide surpasses Magma and Verde Extension in that chalcopyrite was encountered at the 200 foot level at the Mile Wide, and not found until the 1900 foot level at Magma and the 1900 foot level at Verde Extension.
 After crosscutting the ore body at the 200 foot level to a width of 16 feet and inches. the drift was continued 20 feet further, where the entirely new parallel ore body of pure chalcopyrlte was encountered.
 The entire face of the drift was ore. that Superintendent Visel states will average better than 30 per cent cop per.
 Development to date of this eXtraor- dinary ore body has proven it to be width of feet in solid ore. AS far as developed, it has no connection with the previously developed ore bodies. and is an entirely independent parallel vein.
 It is the opinion of the management that the new strike will ultimately join the Is foot vein being developed since last December In that event, a tremendous body of high grade ore will be encountered at this juncture.
 Mir. c. E. Visel, formerly chief en- gineer of the Moctezuma Copper com pany of Nacozari, Sonora Mexico, says that the new strike is "the richest and best ore I have ever seen in Ari- zona."
 MT. Charles P. Reiniger, president and general manager of the company, is confident the Mile Wide is one of the largest mines in the state.
