Texas.
The metal mines OF Texas produced
about 100000 fine ounces OF silver in
1928, according to the department OF
the interior as reported by c. w.
Henderson of the geological survey.
The Preside mine, at Shafter oper-
ated steadily since 1884, was the larg-
est producer. Lead-silver ores were
shipped from the Sierra Blanca dis

California.
The value of the gold. silver, cop

1928 is estimated at $20,646,4OO. as
with 1882. 16S in 1922, as
announced by the department of the
interior, through James M. Hill. of
the geological survey. The notewor-
thy features of the year were the
production of 4,560.00O pounds more
copper and of 100000 pounds more
cad than in 1922. The silver yielded
oy the lead and copper ores brought
he production of silver up to a figure
arger than that for 1922. The gold
mines were not so productive as in
1922, notwithstanding the large de-

producing camps Apparently no zinc
mines were operated.
