VISIT OATMAN
 AMALCAMATED MINE

Sims Ely of Phoenix and Ed Whip pie of Flagstaff, put in several days this week at the Oatman Amalga- hated mine, west of Goldroad. The gentlemen are heavily interested in the property and appear to be well satisfied with their investment. MT. Whipple deported that the main shalt on the property has reached a depth of about 530 feet and is being sunk to the 600 with all possible speed. When this level is reached it is the purpose of the company to do a large amount of lateral work to search out the veins in the big mass of min eralized matter that shows in the out crop. The shaft was not sunk on a vein and is now in the andesite, but small veinlets have been cut that give good gold values. The management believes that the big Tom Reed lode intersects the Goldroad vein at this point. The lateral work is to reach out into these veins and test their orc bearing capacity. From the appear. ance of things this property ought tc make good. It has an immense vein area, widely mineralized. The dir. ectorate is excellent and the treasury IS used only for development.

CLOSE TUNGSTEN
 MINES AT ATOLIA

The mines of Atolia, California, which produced the greater part of the scheelite sent out from that state the past fifteen years, have been closed and all the miners and mill employees discharged. Atolia was To- cated many years ago, the placer miners operating in the district find ing the heavy metal in connection with the small amounts of placer gold. Eventually the veins were located and sold to San Francisco people who opened them to a considerable depth. A big mill was built and a town grew up around the plant. During the first days of the war the mines produced to the limit, but the past year the importations from China and other tungsten producing countries put the local metals producers out of com- mission. Unless congress now does the right thing there will be little or no tungsten produced in the United States, but it is quite certain that a tariff of at least $10 per unit will be put on the foreign importations which will make them impossible of overcoming, and the California, Ari- zona and Colorado mines may again become producers.

stopped further work was described by P. w. Bridgeman, a professor of physics at Harvard, who inherited it. A large saving in time and money in quantity production was claimed for this one-piece construction. Big guns, at the present constructed, consist of inner and outer tubes, made separate, with steel hoops shrunk over the inner tube. These hoops have to be machined inside and out to one or two thousandths of an inch and takes much time. This construction is needed because in firing, the inner layers of the tube are affected more than the outer. Prof. Bridgeman's plan is to make one forging for the tube and submit it to very high pres sure of a compressed fluid in such a way as to cause the inner layers to "flow" and the forging to become more elastic and resistant to ordinary firing pressures, which are about 30,- 900 lbs. per square inch compared to the pressure up to 100000 lbs. which Prof. Bridgeman used.
 The last day of the convention IS devoted to an excursion to the fam ous Bush Terminals in Brooklyn.

CALIFORNIA TO RECEIVE
 LARGE OIL ROYALTIES

Under federal law, which has been incorporated into the new oil bill, the state of California last year received in oil royalties the magnificent sum of $600,000. These royalties came from production outside of the area known os "Naval Reserve, which paid no royalties to the state. With the ad- ditional areas opened to production the state should receive more than million dollars this year, as the margin of royalty will be greater.
 Within few years we expect Ari- zona will be getting big royalty from its oil, as there is a large ter ritory that is believed by real gov ernment geologists to be oil bearing and which will surely be seized upon and drilled at the first opportunity.

Q.S.S,R. & M. co. ..,
 PAYS, BIG DIVIDEND

U. S. Smelling, Refining and Mining company, which owns the Gold Road mine in this county, is now in the best position of all tn large mining com, panies of the country. Its last quar- terly dividend amounted to $6.5O per share, and it is believed that it will pay at the rate of $30 per share an nually hereafter, because of the high price of silver and lead. The com pany's mine at Santa Eulalia, Mexico
 is now producing silver at the rate of over 14,000 ounces daily, while its other properties are making an in creased production. Its Mohave county mines are not being operated, nor is its coper mines in California under operation. Its big coal mines in Utah, as we'll as it's plants and copper mines in that state are show ing increased production. The coal mines are now at the peak of their production and are bringing in an en- ormous revenue. The company Is now in position to put over any de- velopment scheme it may see fit on any of it's properties and it is to be ties will come in for share of it's prosperity.

What Silver Really Costs

mining as bi-product. Take the companies that attempted to mine silver at 60 or 70 cents per ounce some years ago and none if any of them paid a dividend. Nearly all the companies that were handling purely silver properties one by one went out of commission without treasury. A few of the companies operating the very rich ore bodies in Canada and Mexico were able to continue operations and one or two of the Tonopahs produced small amounts of the white metals, not wishing to allow the mines to fill with water. Today millions will have to be spent on the old silver mines of the country to bring them into productivity, but nearly all should make good. Mining is an inviting business, and when good judgement is used and the proper expenditure of money is made, it is as safe, if not a safer investment than industrials, but like all other investments it cannot produce be- low the limit of costs of production. At the present price of silver, there is undoubtedly, wide margin of profit for mine that a few years ago could not get past mine and mill costs, but if any one be- lieves that he can produce silver at 50 cents an ounce, why let him trv the experiment.

OLD CON. VIRGINIA
 HAS LOW GRADE ORE

The ores from the old Con. Virginia mine is showing values of about $1l per ton, and the recovery is not high, yet the company is paying small net dividend on these values. The pos sibility of getting better ore in the new drifts that are being extended into side veins has strengthened op- erations' of the company, other com- panies having opened good ore bordies in ground that was overlooked by the big crowd during the palmy days of the Comstock bonanza.

We have seen so many state ments lately in the press regarding the cost of silver production per oz., and apparently from what should be we'll informed sources, that we must express our surprise at their dense ignorance. We take it that a statement put forth in congress a month or so ago by one of the southern representatives was the basis of all these newspaper ar ticles. This congressman stated that the cost of silver production the past several years was less than 50 cents per ounce. This statement is palpably false. In some instances silver may be pro- duced for that amount or less, but it is as a bi-product that such pro- duction has been or can be made. That this is true we have but to call attention to the thousands of men working on tribute in all the big silver mines of the country be- fore silver got down below 60 cents and to note the fact that since 1900 hardly a bakers dozen of them con- tinued on the job. No one in Mo have county attempted to mine silver since that date, and it is only the past year that silver min ing has shown any revival. The only silver that has been mined in the United States in many years is that secured from copper and lead

NEW
 .'... MINE LABOR PLAN

New York, Feb. S,192O-That the present wage system in mines are the most frequent cause of labor unrest and that more carefully worked out systems would do much to decrease inefficiency and migration was vigor- ously shown by A. K. Knickerbocker, Cayuna, Minn., before the American Institute of Mining and Metallurgical Engineers which is holding it's 121st annual meeting here.
 MT. Knickerbocker referred partic- ularly to the "contract wage system" in the Minnesota iron mines which he said is proving negotiable in it's ap- plication although wages are in the main adequate. Miners are frequently dissatisfied, do not perform their best work and migrate from mine to mine. The main cause of trouble is that the mining captain" has all authority to set wage prices, for a month ahead and because of the uncertainty of working conditions and the variety of operations injustice is frequent. The result may be well-meaning but is ar bitrary.
 The miners favor the system in gen eral, by which they get a certain amount per ton and pay for their own supplies, etc. MT. Knickerbocker urged standard system instead of one. dependent on the judgment or whim of an individual. He proposed time studies of the various tasks and the setting of standard or average rates for each. He suggested that delays due to company's fault be paid for by the company.
 J. Rutledge, Mining Engineer, T.. s. Bureau of Mines, made a plea for demonstration coal mines" along the same lines as demonstration farms maintained by the Department of Agriculture. The object of these mines, which would be located in the principal coal areas, would be to make experiments with various details of coal mining to discover the most eff fective methods for that particular field. He said that operators, because of competitive conditions, low capi- talization and fear of labor sensitiv- ness, cannot undertake such experi- ments but are very willing to give moral and financial aid to the plan These demonstration mines would be operated under a board of disinter- ested engineers and practical miners
 That ore deposition is not necessary fly the work of long geologic ages but may take place in "few geologic moments" or years under favorable conditions was interestingly illus trated by H. A. Wheeler, St. Louis Mo. He showed photograph of an old railroad spike which had been cov- cred by lead ore within a period of about two years. This specimen was found in an abandoned lead and zinc mine in Oklahoma. New solutions of the metals had been carried into the old exhausted mine by mine water and the process of deposition was rapid. MT. Wheeler was of the opin- ion that many lead and zinc deposits in the Mississippi Valley were of com- paritively recent origin.

Chapter Y
Reclamation is taking on a new
meaning these days. In years gone
by it signified conquering a piece of
arid or semi-arid land by putting
water on it or by taking timber and
stumps off. In the southland it is
getting to signify drainage, elimina-
ton of mosquitoes, fever and ague
and thereby removing the need for
taking so much quinine.
But reclamation is taking on a
wider meaning now. Heretofore it
has generally affected only the set
tier and the owner of the shack, but
now it has moved into new realm,
and vibrates the heartstrings of the
rich as we'll as the poor, making
them pull together for the realiza-
ton of new joys. Reclamation means
the recovery of something that is go
ing to waste as we'll as bringing back
to life that which is idle or slumber-
ing.
1Our UrhuuldlltF MAStdhc
When some of the eastern states
were being settled, men spent their
whole lives chopping down, burning
and destroying valuable timber to
get room to plant and harvest crops.
By the time they were old and
broken down, the farmers on the
rgeat prairies were flooding the mar
kets with products in competition
with them, and were ready and anX
ious to buy world of timber and
other lumber products such as they
had spent their own lives in destroy
ing They could not now recall and
sell the timber they had burned, and
they could not profitably raise crops
in competition with the farms on the
great prairies. Their best bet for
the future was in boring for oil and
mining for coal, something that was
hidden too deep for them to burn or
blow up while they were burning
their other resource-the timber,
and now those great manufacturing
states are shipping in timber from
the ends of the earth to replace what
they destroyed
Disappearing Like the Buffalo
The western states have long
since destroyed the buffalo and
thereby lost the greatest source of
valuable robes and coats. The deer,
elk and other animals have followed
the buffalo and with the disappear
ance of the bulk of the furbearing
animals not only in the west but in
all the rgeat fur-bearing regions of
the earth, coupled with the high
price of ordinary clothing, the fur
market has gone skyward and is
likely to remain so.
People have long since commenced
re-foresting, in the effort to re-
create some of the timber which
their parents destroyed in their orgy
