said, "and an alert Congressman or

tunity to get in good lick for the

No industry Is so sensitive, perhaps,

IS MONTHS LIFE
FOR SILVER PRICE
From N. Y. Engineering and Mining
Journal

From N. Y. Engineering and Mining
Journal
The probable duration of the per-
iod Of silver purchases under the
terms of the Pittman act, which
ounce for the metal until such time
as the 20S.000.000 ounces sold to
Great Britain during the war have
been replaced by mint purchases. II
estimated at fifteen months BY III. N.
Lawrie, managing director OF the
American Gold and Silver Institute.
The act went into effect in May.
1920; since then monthly average OF
purchases in 1920 were 3,738.420
ounces, in 1921. 4,8S8,544 ounces,
and in 1922, 4,79S,770 ounces. The
total silver purchased to July rs.
1922, was 119,960,506 ounces, leav-
ing total of approximately $1,000
900 yet to be purchased. The month
ly average for the twenty-six months
is 4,513.943 ounces. At that rate
the S7,000.000 ounces wouldbe pur-
chased in a period of 1913 months.
At the monthly rate of purchases for
1922, however, the period of pur-
cudSc WOuiu DS SuoEtcucu W rlo.1
months. With the increasing pro-
duction of copper and lead, the pro-
duction of silver will increase this
year, it is estimated, by about g.
000, ZOO ounces.
If the probable increase in produc-
tion for 1922 Is maintained during
1923 1t will decrease the duration of
the Pittman act by about three
months, indicating a total remaining
period of 1872 months. 1t will be
noted that the monthly average of
purchases during 1922 is slightly less
than that of 1921, which does not re-
fleet any decrease in production for
1922. When allowance Is made for
the time of smelter treatment, the
increase in ore production now TAX
ing place will not become evident in
the silver returns of the mint until
the last months of this year and the
first months of 1923.
To protect their interests silver
producers should be guided in their
operations and plans for the future
marketing of silver by the minimum
estimated life of the Pittman act of
fifteen months from July 25, 1922.
oT to about November 1, 1923, ac-
cording to- Mr.. Lawrie.

CATLIN sHALE PLANT is BUSY

Elko, Nevada, Aug. 1.-THE Cat
lin oil shale plant at Elko is produc-
ing 1900 gallons of crude oil day
according to latest reports. A shaft
400 feet deep has been sunk with
tunnels running east and west for a
length of 1000 feet each.
About sixty-nine men are en-
ployed, mostly miners. Some diff
Guilty is experienced in getting min
ers who will stay on the job, as many
of them are travelling through the
country in cars, just stopping long
enough to get a few days wages and
are on their way again. A strong
odor of gas is very noticeable in Elko
when the wind is blowing from the
direction of the plant, and con-
denser will be installed in the very
near future which will reduce the
odor, and incidentally remove guam
tity of oil which is being lost through
the gas.
The plant is equipped to handle
much more shale, but at present no
more can be removed from the mine
daily than will produce 1900 gallons
of oil. A plan for two or more ad-
ditional shafts is being drawn at this
time. AS 1t is. the production is
equal to a thirty barrel oil well.

PLAN TO MARKET LIVE STOCK
Study Of Costs and Methods Being
Made by United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.

The United States Department Of
Agriculture is making a study Of the
costs and methods of marketing live
stock, beginning at country points. The
work is to be done mainly in number
of selected areas in important live
stock sections of the country. The plan
is to select areas, usually consisting of
several counties, and to study care
fully the costs and methods of as many
of the existing agencies in each area
as can furnish any satisfactory in
formation. The study will include
mainly country buyers, local shipping
associations, local elevators handling
live stock, and independent shippers.
In several instances the work is being
