GOLD OUTPUT OF UNITED STATES
 LIKELY 10 BE MUCH INCREASED

' following this drain, as well as prior therto. that intense activities are now ] looked for in the direction of increas' ed production here.
 In an article on the gold production of the world which appeared in the December 23 issue of the New York Curb it was pointed out that Great Britain now leads the world in the production of this precious metal, ob' taining from it mines and those ol it's colonies more than s265, 900 in 1916 out of the total worlds pro- duction of s4OS,SOS,761, and that Great Britain has added thereby an- nually to her credit s1,590, ,00O, ,000 from this source alone, as each dollar of new gold furnished S6 of credit according to the reckoning of all economists.
 It is obvious that Great Britain is thus able to keep her credit at high levels by digging more gold, whenev- CT she needs it, from here mines and those of her colonies. It is admitted that the United States has the same privilege and it is firmly believed that our country is now planning to avail herself of this privilege, and more than make up for recent defi- ciencies in her output.
 The worlds gold production in 1916. according to recently prepared statistics, was valued at $45S.SOS, 761 as compared with $471,S34,145 in 1915, when the largest gold produc- tion in history was recorded. In 1914 the worlds gold output was valued at s442, 2,659,762. In weight the worlds total gold production in 1915 was 22,- S25,015 fine ounces and in 1914, 21- 413,70S fine ounces.
 The curtailment of the worlds gold production last year, as will be noted from the above, has been chiefly brought about by the decrease in the United States output. and notwith- standing the swelling of supplies from the Transvaal to the largest propor- tions ever known. The output of Can ada, as well as Rhodesia, reached greater magnitude last year, however, than ever before, but the falling off in the production of Australasia, as well as the United States, has been more than sufficient to offset the gains shown in the African and Canadian output.-Verde Copper News.

 took over the United Verde mine, and the Douglas interests assumed con trol of the United Verde Extension mine. They consider it to be a pos sible forerunner of yet other exten- sive mining investments here by cor porations and individuals of promi- hence in the country's mining affffairs. That this opinion is justified, at leas. insofar as the General Development company is concerned, is evidenced by the vigor and financial success with which that corporation has developed the estate of the Miami Copper com pany and other mining holdings in var ious sections of North and South America. Backed by the financial re- the managerial guidance of J. Parke Charming, one of the worlds noted mining engineers, the General Devel- ment company will doubtless place the estate of the Jerome Copper Min ing company on the list of its other successful mining enterprises and add another dividend-payer to the roster of Yayapai county's copper producers. It is the purpose of the General De. velopment company to finance the Je- rome Copper Mining company as a close corporation and to offer no stock to the public.
 E. A. Kastner and Homer B. King, 10 whose efforts in great measure is due the early financing and develop ment of the estate of the Jerome Cop per Mining company, retain a consid- erable interest therein, as likewise do the other members of the original board of directors, and G. N Hoffman, secretary of the company and general manager of the E. A. Kastner Mercan tile company. It was through tho agency of Messrs Kastner and King that the Jerome Copper Mining com pany was organized, in corporated and brought to the favorable attention of eastern capitalists and ultimately to the attention of the General Develop ment company. And while the closing of the deal with the last mentioned means much financially to them and their early associates in the enter prise, it may be accepted as meaning quite as much to the mining industry of Yavapai county.

Revived rumors of an approaching peace proposal from Germany and her central allies, and the accompany ing suggestion of an ending of the world war before the close of the year, have served to center the inter est of leading economists and bank CTS in the United States once more upon the need for building up still further this country's home-produced gold supply to such an extent as will enable it to establish itself, at the conclusion of hostilities, as the ec. knowledged banker of the world not in name only, as at present, but in fact.
 To accomplish this end, it is conced- ed to be necessary to argument ma terially this country's production of the precious yellow metal from all its known and all possible new sources, thereby making up the heavy falling off in its output of this metal which has occurred in the last year, and which is revealed in the drop from a production valued at s101 ,000, 900 in 1915 to one valued at $95,000,000 in 1916.
 Little heed has been given hitherto to this decrease in the United States production, because of the fact that the stock of gold in this country has increased from s1,SS7. 100000, at the outbreak of the war, to S3,0S9 ,000,- 900 today, and to the fact that the United States government, unlike any other government in the world, has not interested itself very much in her production of gold.
 But, with the first intimation of a speedy termination of the world war, there has come the probability of heavy withdrawals by the foreign na- tions from the vast stock of gold now piled up in this country, and the pos sibility that the outflow of gold, once begun, will drain the United State of all the yellow metal which has come to our shores within the last three years, and perhaps make heavy hoards upon our own hoards, in ad- dition.
 It is in the hope of amply compensat- ing for this drain upon our present large supply and making up for last years falling of in production. there by assuring this country's position as the unquestioned banker of the world,

DRIVE FOR BIG VEIN
 ON POLARIS PROPERTY

DULUTH, Aug. 1S.-W. A. Eaton, president of Polaris Mining company, has returned from Mohave county, Arizona, where he hass been to inspect the gold property which his company is developing in the Virginia (Weav- er) district. He is enthusiastic over the prospects of a great mining sue cess.
 MT. Eaton has made a re-survey of the Polaris property and before leav- ing for Duluth directed that the course of the tunnel be diverted to crosscut a big parallel vein, 200 feet distant from the vein which the tunnel has been running upon. The decision was the result of making the re-survey. MT. Eaton is convinced that the larger vein not only will carry a greater tonnage of commercial ore but of higher val ues. The tunnel has been progressing for weeks in ore ranging from $40 to S9 gold per ton, and averaging fully $6, and while this is very accept able showing it is not up to the aver age of ore disclosures on the prop erty, which is between SIS and S15 per ton at the present time.
 The gold bearing rock of the Pc laris property ranges, according to as says thus far made, from around S4 to S135 per ton. President Eaton is convinced that the average mill run of ore, after the property is further developed, will average not less than $20 per ton. This estimate he con siders very conservative.
 Considering the amount of develop. ment done to date, the ore disclosure has been large. The most of the ore heretofore exposed is to a depth of 50 feet. There is 30 feet of ore running in value from SIS to S15 per ton. It is to develop this ore at depth, and at the same time afford an easy and economical avenue for the delivery O: the ore from the mine, that the tuE- nel is being driven.
 The resurvey of the property has dis closed that the development of the upper workings is on the big vein which it is now proposed to cut at depth. The vein which the tunnel has been following will be a producer. and will be developed further at some time in the future. In the meantime it is desired to open at depth the ore body which has been developed down to 60 fee, with it's good showing. According to the resurvey the tunnel will cut the big vein at a depth of 230 feet from the surface. which is 70 feet deeper than was estimated by the original survey. Mir Eaton estimates that t will take about 60 days to reach tho big parallel vein.
 Big things are expected of the Po- laris property, and with good reason. with 30 feet of ore running SIS to s15 per ton at very moderate depth. One of the characteristics of the district is that the gold values improve with depth, which is not always the case in gold mining
 Mir. Eaton reports that his force ot men at the mine are giving loyal serv- ice. and he has furher encouraged them to endeavor by offering a bonus of S1 per man for each foot gained in addition to the average monthly foot age of past performance.-Skilling 8 Mining Review.

You must always bear in mind
two things in apartment building.
First: Apartments that supply
the needs Of the tenant and apart
ments that pay, When you combine
the two you have the ideal invest
ment and you should consult sue
cessful managers before you build
or buy an investment. If you have
money to invest you cannot find any
safer or better field than apart
ments, and when you understand all
the conditions you will be pleased to,
place your money in this form of an
investment. @
If your property is not bringing
the returns it should, a call at our
office, consulting our specialists will
be beneficial to you. If you want
