The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1918-05-16

mining operations on a large scale
ceased abruptly; the gold to be pro-
dueed this year will have to come
from small mines and from the dep
relations of unorganized mobs upon
the workings Of the richer properties,
such as that Of the Leskoie. II Is
evident therefore that the worlds gold
mining industry was hard hit last
year, by the abnormal cost of labor
and supplies, by political disorders
and by the continued depletion of the
bigger mines. 1t is probable that the
decrease of yield during the current
year will be fully $4,000, 900, the stat
istical data for the first quarter of
the current year indicating a contin-
ued decline In the British dominions,
While in Russia any systematic min
ing is impossible pending the restora-
ton of some form of orderly govern
ment. In Mexico the outlook is bet
ter, but precarious. Everywhere the
cost of labor and supplies continues to
increase; the priority given to war or
ders hinders the equipment of new
mines or the maintenance of mach
inery In good order at old mines. We
are facing world wide decline in gold
production.
