Great Increase In Production of Man.
 ganese Ore

1redt increase m Procucton ot Man
 ganese Ore
 The domestic output of manganese ore is now of great practical import ance and the United States geological survey is therefore collecting statistics of production every three months. The canvass for the quarter ending October 1, 1917, has just been com pleted. The results of the canvass show a large increase in the number of shippers, as well as in the ship ments of ore of each grade over those of the first six months of the year. which were slightly larger than those of the entire year 1916.
 In 1916 only 26,996 tons of man. | ganese ore was shipped by 55 opera tors, but in the first nine months of the ! present year 70,225 tons was shipped ! by SS operators. The reports received | by the survey indicate that the ship l ments for the year will be about l 122,275 tons, which will be nearly four | times those for any preceding year.
 In September the production of high
 grade ore was about 14,000 tons and ! in November it was nearly 17,0O0 tons. l The results of the inquiries made in most of the fields by members of the 1 survey indicate that the shiments in ! 1918 will be between 175,000 and 100000 | tons, sufficient to supply nearly one
 third of the present demand of the | steel industry. For about every 10000 tons that can be produced in excess of
 the present domestic output it will be
 possible to release one ship that is now
 bringing ore from Brazil.
 Of manganiferous ores containing 1J to 40 per cent of manganese, 3S0,16S | tons was shipped during the first nine
 months of 1917 by 5S operators against
 176,130 tons shipped by Il operators in
 the entire year of 1916. Most of this
 ore was used to make spiegeleisen. Of
 ores containing to Is per cent of
 manganese, 424,438 tons was shipped
 by IA operator sduring the first nine
 months of 1917, against 372,673 tons
 shipped by 26 operators during the year
 1916. part of this ore was used to make spiegeleisen, and the remainder was smelted with iron ore to mako high manganese pig iron. The number of shippers given above does not in- clude those of the Leadville district . Colorado.
 The great increase in the shipments . of high grade ore from western states is notworthy, particularly from Mon-
 tana- Arizona, California, Utah and Nevada. The prices now offered are ? causing prospectors in these states tC search closely for ores and many
 western mines are now shipping man. i, ganese ore that was left undisturbed , in explorations made years ago. The Phifipsburg district, in Montana, ship ped about 1000 tons of high grade orc
 during each month of the third quarter of 1917, and the Tombstone and Bisbet l districts, in Arizona, are shipping larg, a quantities of such ore. The rate o 2 production of Virginia and Tennesse, ! is increasing, but that of Arkansas anC I Georgia is not much larger than il - 1916.

Warning to Prospectors

From the fact that many prospectors are withholding the filing of notices of their intention to hold mining claims, it should be called to their attention that the last date on which these notices can be filed is December 3l, 1917, according to an announcement made by the Ari- zona State Bureau of Mines. This is different from the recording of assess ment work, for assessment work may be filed and recorded on or before March 30th of the year following that for which the assessment work is being done.
 Thus it has become a habit with many prospectors to file along in Jan- uary and February record of the as sessment work for the previous year, but this should not be done with the notices of intention to hold claims
 Attention should also be called to the fact that if any assessment work is done, records should be made of as- sessment work, rather than under the law of intention to hold, because filing under the new law does not advance the claims towards patenting. and re- corded assessment work is one of the best evidences of having done sufficient work for patenting.
 Relative to the new law, the Hon Carl Hayden has received a letter from Clay Tallman, commissioner of the United States general land office, the contents of which are very important l in Arizona. Mir. Tallman says:
 Tn my opinion if the claimant file such notice in the office where his To- | cation certificate is recorded, he ha: complied with the act. But, if he filt 1 and record the notice, he would hay, record proof of the fact of his com. | pliance with the act, which might b.
 of service to him in case the question | of whether or not such notice had beer
 filed should arise in proceeding in
 volving his claim to the land. You vii
 note that proofs of annual labor ar
 made pursuant to state statute, tn
 Arizona statute, and probably that O
 most other states, providing that tn
 claimant may make and record l certificate, etc, and that the recor
 thereof shall be prima facie proof tha

 W stands for work which has to be

 When a meeting is called it's your

 X stands for Xmas, that we all know
 We're celebrating now-isn't that

 Y stands for yearning that we may
 do more next year
 So showers of blessings will pour. z is the zeal, every member should

 Without it there's nothing suc-

THEMINES

mand for the Arizona Bureau of Mines Bulletin No. on Manganese, and it is evident that many people in the state believe that they have manganese de- posits of sufficient value to assist the government in its shortage.
 Arizona undoubtedly will be able to assist greatly by the opening up of some of its manganese deposits, al though the greatest mistake that has been made is the belief that low grade manganese ores can be made to work in steel manufacture. This is not the case, although at the present time the United States Bureau of Mines is de- voting the work of it's Minneapolis station to experimentation with the concentration of the low grade man. ganese ores in which Arizona abounds.
 At the present time, however, ores running under 30 per cent manganese cannot find ready market, unless the gangue be sufficiently segregated to permit the concentration.
 The manganese bulletin of the Bur eau of Mines should be in the hands of everyone interested in the manganese ores, and may be obtained by writing State Bureau of Mines, Tucson, and asking for Bulletin No. 1, Mineral Tech nology Series No. 2.

The Price If Silver

Attention is called by the Arizona State Bureau of Mines to meeting re- gently held in Salt Lake City relative to fixing the price of silver, which is of great importance to many parts of Arizona. The fixation of the price of silver is to go to the war industries board within a short time, as is the readjustment of the price of copper.
 At the meeting in Salt Lake City, which was very largely attended, the resolution was passed and figures gathered to show that the present mar ket price of silver, running between so and 90 cents, is not sufficiently high to take care of the increased cost of supplies and labor and that while sil- yer has increased 45 to 50 per cent in prices, the cost of mining the same has increased from 75 to so per cent
 The lowering of the price of silver mean loss of considerable tonnage of silver bearing ore that could not be mined at a profit.
 The same to a larger extent holds true of copper, for as the rumor goes, it is planned to reduce copper in January from 23 1-2 cents to 20 cents. It is | conservatively estimated that this drop in price would mean the reduction of
 the output of Arizona copper Of over 100 million pounds.
 The fixing of the price of all of the l metals produced in Arizona is of vital | importance to the prosperity of the
 state, and is thing in which all indi- i viduals and organizations should in- terest themselves.

Dutch Are Heaviest Smokers.

How many Of us will make the IN
creased duty on tobacco a jumping-off-
rlace for total abstinence? Probably
more in Great Britain that would be
the case, say, in Holland, where the
average smoker consumes four times
as much tobacco as does the English
man, says the London Chronicle.
An ingenious German a few years
ago worked out the rank Of countries
in smoking. After Holland, which
takes easily the first place, come Aus

and Germany. Modest places are TAX
