OREGON METAL PRO-
DUCTION IN 1916

reliminarySestmates of the produc-
ton of metals from Oregon mines in
1916, by the United States Geological
Survey, Department of the Interior,
show increases over 1915 for gold, sill
yer, and copper, and a decrease for
lead. The output of gold in 1915 was
81. .86l. 1876 and the estimated output for
1916 is $500, 900, an increase of
S3S, 900. The output of silver in 1915
was l7.947 ounces, and the estimated
output in 1916 is 227, 500 ounces, or
l09. 500 ounces more. The output of
copper in 1915 was 451, III pounds, and
the estimated output in 1916 is 2.527,.
900 pounds, an increase for 1916 Of
2,076. 900 pounds, and the output of
lead in 1915 was 81. 957 pounds, as COM
pared with 22,000 pounds i'll 1916. or
SAL. 900 pounds less. These prelimi.
nary figures are compiled by Charles
G. Yale, of the San Francisco office of
the Geological Survey.
The increase in gold is merely nom-
inal, but that of silver has about
doubled. The most notable increase is
IN the quantity of copper, an increase
caused by the incentive offered by high
prices.
There are less than hundred pro.
ductiVe metal mines in Oregon, and
the number of placers is about double
that of the deep mines. However,
twO-thirds of the gold output and vir-
tually all that of the other metals, is
derived from deep mines. No very
productive new properties have been
opened during the year. The entire
output of the deep mines is derived
from less than 100. 900 tons of ore, hav-
ing an average value of about SO a ton.
Baker is still the most productive
county in the state, yielding annually
nearly 80 per cent of all the gold. The
CornucOpia and the Baker mines, in
the Cornucopia district, Baker county,
are the most productive deep mines in
Oregon. Other large deep mines in
Baker county are those of the Com.
mercial Mining Co., (Rainbow mine, J
at Rye Valley, in the Mormon Basin
district: of the Columbia Gold Mines
Co., at Sumpter, Cracker Creek dis.
trict; and of the Homestead. Iron Dyke
property. at Copperfeld. Iron Dyke
district.
The Powder River Dredge Co., oper.
ating two dredges near Sumpter,
Cracker Creek district, is the most
productive placer mining enterprise in
the state. 10 1916 new dredge was
under construction in the John Day
valley. Grant county.
The most productive hydraulic mine
in Oregon is that on the property OF
the Columbia Mines Co., in Placer dis
trict, Josephine county. Other notably
productive hydraulic mines are the
Martin & Daniels, Gp'ice district,
Josephine county. and the Sterling, in
Forest Creek district, Jackson county.
The gold won by dredging far exceeds
that obtained by all other forms OF
placer mining combined.

a half-cent-a-duart increase In the
price OF milk through the month OF
November.
IL was stated, however. that II n
National MIX Commission wero ap-
pointed by Food Administrator
Hoover the league would abide by
any prices fixed by such a commits
sion after thorough investigation.
There was conference to-day at
which tho league directors met ma

Of distributors. II was proposed that
the distributors accept the half-cent
loss occasioned by the November In.
crease-payins the Increase and still
maintaining tho accent October rate
to consumer.
The distributors said a half-cent
increase in the price TO them might
necessitate a full cent increase to the
consumer. because the penny could
not be split on the price Of a bottle
OF milk. A tentative suggestion was
made that the distributors might
stand the half-cent loss during this
month II the league would guarantee
TO stand the loss caused by any fur

afternoon TO talk IL over and decide.
