MINES AND MINING

Shipments Of first-class crude or,
and mill products from the plants o.
Park City last week totaled 1911 tons
The aggregate is estimated at more
than $4,000.
Compared with year ago the divi
dends paid out In September by Amer
lean mines show decided decrease
The general rise In the costs of min
ing and smelling is given as the prin
cipal cause.
The old Newhouse or South Utaf
mine in western Beaver county, Utah
is said to have 100000 cash funds OF
hand now and anticipates clearing uI
about $15O0OO out of the present leas
ing operations.
Assessments on local popular min
ing stocks have been more numerous
this year than In possibly any previous
year in the history of Utah mining
Already on such stocks the assess
ments have numbered 108.
With total production Of more than
S115,O0O,OO0 and dividends of more
than S31,000,O00, Tonopah mines con
tinue producing today at the rate OF
about 100000 every thirty days, or
more than $7,OOOOOO n year.
Shipments of ore from the mines Of
Tlntic last week totaled 1914 carloads.
These are estimated at 5000 tons and
valued at $4,000. This is compared
with 145 cars the previous week and
1865 cars the week before that
According to the Goldfeld Tribune,
the new electrlcally-drlven surface
equipment Of the Tonopah Divide
mine should be In operation within less
than Il week and with this In place
additional air drills will be installed
and the great ore body will be devel.
oped on all three levels.
II has been reported from American
Fork canyon that the American Fork
Fssures company has ordered the clos
Ing down Of the mill, owing to ore
running short. The mill has been
steadily producing high-grade concen-
trates for nearly year, milling crude
ore ut the rate OF $50 tons per day.
DR.. Adolph Knopf of the United
States geological survey spent several
days In camp this week. DIR. Knopf
Is the man who made the original
wrlte.up on the Boss mine. says the
GOodsprlngs Gazette. His mission was
In the interest OF the government to
size up the possible production of plat
mum.
Under the head publicity a Safe
guard" the Denver Mining 4 Flnan-
clal Record says that II does not pay
10 buy n pig In poke. II does not
pay to buy shares In mining or oil
company without first making thor

Throughout the American oil fields,
In September there were 8176 new rigs
and drilling wells. with an aggregate
Of I43.399 barrels OF forty-two gallons
each. Wyoming reports an increase Of
thirty over August. That state COM
pleted sixty wells In September, re-
cordIng eighteen dry holes and five
gas wells.
Several Dugway properties are In
the active list this fall, and the min
Ing operators OF that camp are so op'
mlstic OF the future that they have
ract!cally completed their plans for
he erection OF mill to treat por.
ton of the large tonnages OF second
class ore said to be found In number
OF the old mines.
Very few deposits Of manganese ore
are known In Wyoming. A deposit In
the northern part Of Albany county
was examined by II. l.. Jones, Jr., OF
the United States geological survey
department OF the interior. on October
8, 1917. The deposit is being exploit
ed by the Wyoming Manganese com
pany of Laramie.
II Is reported from the old CoeuI
d'Alene district In northern Idaho, that
the recovery of the mineral values
from old taillngs dumps and from the
accumulation Of talllngs along the riv
err and In dams built to protect the
river channel has grown to be q
branch of the mining Industry of con
siderable Importance and increasing
profit.
There are fair prospects that the
fight on between the minority ant
majority stockholders of the Old Emmi
Mining company may be settled ou
OF court. II Is understood that a rather
definite proposition has been received
by wire from George Graham Rice Of
New York. In which he agrees to liqul
date all outstanding debts, probably
call off the Scent assessment and d,
other essential things In consideration
OF the suit being dropped.
From Washington comes word tina
Secretary of the Interior Lane an
nounced last week that the United
States is becoming independent of Ger

thought and still thinks, no doubt, tina
she has whiphand over America be
cause Of her supply of this mineral,
said Secretary Lane, "but America car
In two years become entirely indepen
dent of Germany In this regard by thu
development of her own deposits AMI
