MINERAL OUTPUT SHOMS UP
DECREASE over THE YEAR 1919

The mid-year report Of the U. s. geo.
logical survey indicates thae the con-
dition of relative stagnation still ex-
lists in the mining industry of the
state of Nevada and that the total
output for 1920 Of the five major me-
tals---gold. silver. copper. lead and
zinc---will show decrease Of the total
amount produced in these metals as
compared with 1919. The output for
the latter year of each Of these five
metals was substantially less than the
output of 1918. Increased cost of la
Dor. and Of all materials entering into
the mining operation. increased rates
on freight. which increases are not Of
set by corresponding advances In the
prices of the metals mined. are the big
causes assignd to the decrease in pro
duction.
\ The gold output Of this state is cur
tailed greatly---a natural sequence o.
the steadily dcrasing purchasing pow
| cr of an ounce Of gold. Silver is al
! SO on the decline. due principally to thu
labor troubles that occurred Il
the period covered by thes reports
Copper will also show a substantial de
crease and there is no prospect o
eauaiing the 1919 yield. Lead AN,
zias alone may equal or exceed tn
1919 figures.
