The domestic consumption Of connar
is estimated nj between 40 900 and

to 3O,000,00O pounds.
The low price of copper and lead is
sure to reduce the output of the mines
in the Bingham district. The snaIl
producers who have no contracts with
the smelters are lready suffering from
the effect of increased freight rates
and treatment oh argos.
Production tiguI Is of California minN
for 1919 tabulattd by Charles "a Yale
or the United States geological survey
show large decreases us compared
with production for 1918. The number
OF producing mines dropped of from
7O3 for 1918 to $50 for 1919.
The news comes from Goodsprings,
Nevada, that acting under the advice
of mining engineer for the Christmas
Consolidated. the directors of that
company have arrived ut an agreement
to appropriate 5000 for the develop
ment of their vanadium claims.
The Improvement in the labor situa-

cars produced by mines of the Tintic
district during the week For the
week. Il total of 166 carloads was pro-
duced, as compared with total OF
100 carloads for the previous week.

That the Bingham Mines company
made a good buy when they took
over the Victoria mine al Bingham,
is shown by figures, which were re
