THREE BILLION DOLLARS.
That Is Estimate of U. S. Mineral
Production in 1916.

In 1880, when the output of the
mines of the United States barely ex-
ceeded in value one third of a billion
dollars, the first director of the Unit
ed States geological survey made
this prophecy: THE mineral indus
tries of the United States will soon
reach an annual money yield of a
thousand million dollars Of value"
This mark was in fact attained in
1899.
Speaking before the American Min
ing congress in November, 1907, an
other director of the geological sur
vey referred to the probability that
that year would mark an epoch in
the mineral industry by reason of the
mineral output reaching two billion
dollars in values. and later the COM
plete statistics verified this state
ment. Now, less than 10 years later,
the advance estimates submitted by
the geological survey to the secretary
of the interior indicate that the total
value of mineral production i'm 1916
may reach the three billion dollar
mark.

NATIONAL.
Belief That Plans Are Completed to
Extend Development.


August Paulsen. one of the directors
of the National Copper Mining COM
pany, was quoted few days ago to
the effect that the directors of the
company had decided to begin i'm
portant development work on the pro-
perty at an early date. 1t has since
been learned from unofficial sources
that it is proposed to extend the shaft
200 and possibly 400 feet from the 1900
level, which Is 200 feet below the
main working tunnel. The ore on this
level is said to have shown marked
improvement and the opinion is adj
vanced that further depth will show
correspondingly better results. 1t is
reported that r. r. Catching, formerly
superintendent of the National. will
have change of the work. 1t is believ-
ed that the company has several thou
sand dollars in the treasury. but 1t
would be necessary to levy an as
sessment to accomplish the work
planned unless the mill could be util-
lied to earn small profit from the
ore now available.

LAcLEDE.
Belief That Interstate Callahan Has
Secured Control

The option secured on control of the
Laclede Mining company several
months ago by o. w. Lewis. of this
city, and the sudden advance in the
price of Laclede stock during the past
few weeks have given rise to much
speculation as to the future OF the
property Report is that the Inter-
state Callahan and the Day interests
are both after Laclede. but 1t was
stated this morning that the Days
deny any connection with it. The pre-
vailng opinion is that the Interstate
Callahan has secured control Of the
property. Development of the La.
clede has not disclosed any important
mineral deposits, but 1t consists Of a
group of . claims Of great prospective
value. 1t is completely surrounded
by the big interests which are re-
ported to be contesting for its own
ership. 1t is bounded on the north
and east by the Hercules, and on the
south by the Tamarack & Custer.

west boundary line is held by the In

probability of developing important
ore deposits on Laclede. the ground
contains large body Of timber valu-
able for mining purposes.

Having completed the construction of

ment but on account of the difficulty
and expense of opening the wagon
road and keeping it open. no attempt
will be made to move the ore until
conditions are more favorable. which
should only be matter of a few
weeks now. Mr.. Lancaster reports
splendid showing of copper ore, iden-

known to extend practically to the

Richmond. Mr. Lancaster estimates
the snow to be 20 feet deep at the
