MINES BUREAU
 TURNED TOENC|NE
 OF WARS WRATH
Organization of Mercy in Peace Times Did Much to Aid War Work While America Fought

WASHINGTON. Dec. 2S.-HOw a governmental agency engaged in say ing the lives ef miners and promot- ing the welfare, of the industry, at the call to arms was instantly turned into an engine of death and destruction to enemies, is detailed in the annual report of the Bureau of Mines, de- partment of the interior, by Director Van. H. Manning.
 The report. which closes with the fiscal year, June 90, while the United States was still at war, tells of the strenuous part played by the bureau of mines in assisting to build up ma chimes of death that would not have been felt with it's fullest force by the Hun until the following spring. With the cessation of war, the Germans, it is said, will never be able to realize what the full force of Americas mili- tary might would have been. or the many devices and methods that were the result of American ingenuity, for the war department is keeping the best of these a profound secret.
 At the same time great good for the
 
 future peaceful pursuit of industry in this country and for the saving in stead of killing of men has come out of this welter of death-dealing expert ments, is the claim of the bureau of mines. Certain experiments with del icate instruments known as micro phones and geophones. in order to direction and the distance of enemy mining work in tunneling and location Of enemy artillery no matter where placed, has disclosed that these same instruments can be used in determin- ing the location of men entombed in mines following disaster. It is eX pected that if the men have the pres ence of mind te make even a slight noise, the rescuers listening with these devices will be able at once to locate the men and begin the rescue work
 Early in the War every experiment station of the bureau in the mining districts of the country at once closed its peace activities and marshalled for war. Especially pressing scien- tific problems were allotted to the diff ferent stations, and where the bureau did not have all the men necessary, It turned over its laboratories and equipment to the men assigned by .he war and navy departments. In this way central-control laboratory

have in all ways been handled with skin That the producers kept along witt their output of metal and their dey elopment in spite of discouraging general conditions reflects high cOur- age and farsighted loyalty. Labor has been high, supplies high and freight rates much advanced, while the mark ct value of the gold produced has re- maiEed at the level Of normal times. Nevertheless, gold production was one Of the most important factors the gov ernment had to consider during the war period With the war over gold is a still bigger factor and in the re- adjustment period has a tremendous part to play. Every additional ounce mined in the country means greater prestige for the latter and greater fla cility for the return of it's people to uninflated high prosperity in a nor nal period. The 0atman district doubtless has more mines to make and under the prospecting and deyel- opment that have been continuous, although lacking the loud heralding of the boom days of the camp, there has been encouraging findings from which important things are anticipated dur ing next year.

 treating it's carbonates on a big scale. No announcement has been made along this line but the feet that steps are being taken to develop carbonates below the surface and that plans to measure the surface deposit are un- der way, lends color to the rumors.
 The present depth of the shamt is 750 feet and 30 gallons of water are being pumped every minute. Every foot of depth gained means a little more water. In order to avoid in- creasing pumping expenses as far as possible. Engineer Deity decided to eliminate one of the two shifts that have been working in the shaft.
 The U. V. Extension haulage tun- nel passes along the south side of the Dundee property, 96O feet below the shaft collar This tunnel has already drained that country to a large ex- tent and when sinking of the Dundee tunnel was resumed few weeks ago there was no.water at all in the bot tom. It is expected that when the portal cad of the tunnel is connected with the mine end the country will be entirely drained down to the tunnel.

Much is expected from this development The Arizona Bing- hampton in the Humboldt district has a large working shaft and either an aerial tramway or railroad line to Humboldt shelter is ahead for next year. Either rail or tram will cut present haulage distance in half. The mine has the ore developed and the in creased facilities are well warranted. Consolidated Arizona Smelling com pany mines in the Humboldt district made fine progress with development of high grade ore bodies on their low CT levels this year, and should profit importantly from operations next year. The smelter and other reduc- tion plants of the company at Hum bOldt are in excellent physical con dition, alterations and extensions dur ms the last two years having made the property over to one Of the best equipped and most efficient for its work m the west In the Tucson dis nict the Reininger-Freeman mine is crowding ahead with well directed work and is being watched with wide interest The situation in the mine at this time is lending much encourage ment to those who believe that the property win prove the turning point in the history Of the district. which to this time has lacked development oi a really large and persistent ore body. in the Patagonia district silyer-lead mining has had sharp revival and there is the prospect for important de- yolcpments during tine next year.

 During the past few weeks, the Western Copper company in tic May CT district has attracted much atten- tion. This property is located four miles from Mayer and lying immedi- ately between the Binghampton and Copper Queen holdings on the north and the famous old Stoddard group on the south. If location counts for any thing. this group constitutes one of the choicest and most promising proper ties in the Mayer district. as it strad dies the great outcrOp Foo feet wide between the two best known and most productive mines yet developed in that district and the surface showings are said 10 be attractive. The prop erty has been developed to a small extent by a number of shallow shafts and open cuts, all showing mineral, some of which were put down as loca- tiOn work and annual assessment work and others sunk by the present owners to determine the proper loca- tion for a permanent working shaft. On the south end of the property, not far from the StOddard line, several short tunnels have been driven into the schist at either side of the DOT phyTy contact and all these show the same degree of naturalization that is expected in the shafts and open cuts. Several engineers have examined the ground and all have agreed that it's present possibilities are well worth ex- ploring and have agreed also that the location chosen by the present owners for the permanent shaft is the best on the ground. The property is con nectcd with Mayer by a road Whicn will require but little repair to make il an easy and inexpensive matter to transport supplies to the mine and ores Co the smelter. The ground pre- sents another advantage in the fact that there is a considerable dip in the service between Binghampton and the Stoddard and it is expected that the ore bodies will he found at least depth possibly 300 feet, than in the former which is now taking out ore from the 600 level

Shelters, Mills and Mine Equipments Are Vastly In- creased by Owners to Meet Demands of War

In spite of high cost of materials and labor and of various other re- tarding influences. new equipment dollars has been brought into mining service in Arizona during this year The largest single item in the total represents the new United Verde Ex- tension in the Verde district. A large amount of money was spent in the same district in bringing in higher capacity and greater efficiency at the United Verde shelter, work that con tinues in progress with splendid re- suits attending. Douglas smelters of Phelps Dodge and c. & A. also re- eeived large expenditures for better ments that have much increased effi- ciency of plant operation. At Miami. completion was made of important ad- dition to Miami Copper company's power plant, and at Inspiration there was considerable expenditure for mine equipment betterments, as there was also at the old Dominion and other properties in the Globe district These expenditures made larger production of copper immediately available. at the same time providing permanent gains in plant efficiency
 New Milling Operations.
 The year added two new concentra- tors of large tonnage to the number operating in the state, while several smaller plants were erected and put in operation. inclusive of those on the Worlds Fair and Flux mines in the Patagonia district One great new plant was brought under construction, that of Phelps Dodge in the Warren district. designed to treat Sacramento hill steam shovel ores. The two large plants put in operation were those of Ray Hercules and the Shattuck cop per companies. Both have come into the delivery of excellent results. fol- lowing the period of minor operations and readjustment common to breaking in of new equipment Steel and ma. chinery for the Phelps Dodge mill is arriving on the site, where grading is far along and some construction un- der way. but speed originally planned for this work and preparation of Sac ramento hill for production has been

All the ex- penditures have meant greater recov- cry of values. coupled in the main with lesser requirements for man power and the making available 10 lower grade ores. points upon which the mines. mills and smelters were compelled 10 concentrate during the war period.

NOVEMBER OUTPUT OF TWENTY BIG
 COMPANIES LOW
Total Pounds of Copper Made Was 9,OOO,O0O Below Thai of October; Two Holidays Largely Responsible

BOSTON, Mass. Dec. 2S.-Produc- tion of 20 of the leading copper mines of America for November shows a reduction of approximately 9,O00,OOO pounds from that of October, output amounting to 145,0O0.000 pounds as compared with 154.000, 900. With but very few exceptions, mining compan- ies reported substantial reductions. This lower production, however, can be largely traced to the fact that with the signing of the armistice abroad impromptu holidays were declared by the miners to give the most welcome event a fitting reception. Moreover, Thanksgiving was another day which broke into the schedule, making prac- tically three days in which operations were either wholly suspended or else partly curtailed.
 Utah Copper reported the largest drop in output. showing 16,5OO,OO0 pounds in October, a decline of 2,500,- 900 pounds. Anaconda, Phelps Dodge, Calumet & Hecla, Kennecott and the porphyries all record lower produc- tion. Chile and Greene Cananea, how ever, piled up satisfactory totals, the former running approximately 1,3O0,- 900 and the latter S0O,000 pounds above October.
 For the II months of the current year production totals 1887 7,97T,521 pounds as compared with 1,577 ,00s, ,202 pounds in the same period of 1917, an increase of 11O,96S.319 pounds. This substantial gain in output for 1918 is directly due to the fact that a year ago a number of the mines were either shut down for several months or else running at greatly reduced produc- tion owing to strike of the miners.
 Following are the production fig ures for November of 20 of the lead ing mines as compared with October with the totals for the II months this year and the same period of 1917:
