Thin corporation owns 113 acres on Battle mountain, and only a small por tlon of It has been prospected. During the life of W. S. Stratton he positively refused all offers to lease any portion of his ground, and the same policy has been pursued since It was sold to the English investors. The company will continue working a portion of the round. Just what terms will be made in re Sard to leasing has not yet been determined, and It will 'not be until the meeting of the board of directors In Indon. The leasing system Is a pop-alone In Cripple Creek at present There is not a miner in the camp that will not do double the amount of work In an eight-hoshift when he Is work Ins for himself on a lease Instead of smiting for a corporation. It is generally believed that all the 01 her companies, namely, the Portland, Jary McKinney, Golden Cycle and the round owned by the United States 'ouipany, the controlling Interest In ohich is held by the Woods Investment cmpnny, will be blocked 'out and kaed. All of the territory now owned hy the Anaconda company Is being forked under the leasing system, and !h results have been better than .when the ground waa worked by the con A ar ur Panlea. GREAT IRON PRODUCTION. output In the United States doubled in quantity during The Iron lt six years, according to a report the Geological Survey, which will "ue1 shortly.

It was a little less than two years agoi that Col. O. P.

And the more prominent of those participating In this enormous tonnage front a camp the output of which had been reduced to little more than 40.000 tons annually when copper mining became a specialty there, are yet far from the maxl-mun- ts of which they are capable. When enlargements now going on at the Utah Con.'s smelter Its mines will be required to add about 9,000 tons a month to their present output, while, with the completion of s sixth furnace, on which work Is now progressing at the United States smelter, the levy upon Its ore bodies will have been materially Increased.

Acting In cooperation with the census office, the agents of the Survey personally visited most of the producers and procured more complete data concerning the conduct of the various mining Industries than they had ever before attempted to collect. This more detailed inquiry necessarily consumed more time than had the less thorough collection of statistics made In previous years, so that the publication of the annual volume has been in consequence delayed. Separate chaptera of extracts from the entire volume have, however, been issued as fust as they were completed. The finished volume will be bound and ready for distribution about the middle of April. The .figures showing productlop indi- cate a continuation of the remarkable activity In the mineral Industries of the United States noted In 1900 and 1901. In 1903, for the third time, the total value of the commercial mineral products of the United States exceeded the enormous sum of $1,000,000,000. The exact figures for 1903 were $1,260,639,-41which, as compared with $1,086, 584,851 in 1900, shown a gain of 16.03 per cent As heretofore. Iron and coal are the most Important of our mineral products. Nearly all of the Important metals Increased In both output and value. Among the less important metals platinum, as compared with 1900, lost In both quantity and value even more than it gained In 1901 as compared with 1900, the production in 1902 being 94 ounces, valued at $1,814, as compared with 1.408 ounces, valued at 5, $27,526, in 1901, with 400 ounces In 1900, and with 300 ounces In 1899. The fuels Increased from $442,410,904 In 1901 to $469,078,674 In 1903, a gain of $26,667,-74- 3, or 6 per cent. Every variety of fuel increased In value except anthracite coal, which showed a decrease in quantity of 23.301, 850 long tons and In value of $36,330,434. The gain of $174,064,414 in the total value of our mineral products Is due to the Increase in both metallic and products, the metallic products showing an Increase from $518,266,259 non-metal- lic In 1901 to $643,358,594 In 1902, a gain of $123,992,325, and the nonmetalllc products showing an Increase from $567,318,593 In 1901 to $617,380,831 In To these 1902. a gain of $50,072,089. should be added estimated unspecified products.

There are encouraging reoprts from Albany county on some mining properties. The Strong mine has struck a vein of ore in the shaft four feet eight Inches wide and In the drift they have not yet determined the width. What mn at first supposed to be the wall turned out to be only a seam running across the vein. This mine Is fourteen miles east of Larlmie, says the Dillon, Wyo., Doublejack. There is also another strike at the Albany In Douglas creek district, near the New Rambler. It is reported that the miners In cutting the vein In the shaft run Into a rich body of pure sulphide of copper thnt will run 50 per cent In carload lots. It also carries good valuea In gold, silver and plutl-nui- n, of 200 tons dally from properties that are capable of putting out an infinitely greater volume, while the management of the Utah Copper company will amaze the most enthusiastic before its maximum shall have been obtained. It will not be long before the Tampa smelter will levy upon Its properties for thrice the volume with which It Is now being supplied, while the Dalton & Lark, the Commercial and Ohio have yet to warm up to their resources. While the growth of the camp has been almost Incredible since systematic mining for copper was Inaugurated, not a few look forward to a period not remote when the dally production A great deal of excitement Is caused required by smelter and mills will over the strike and most of the miners have exceeded 5,000 tons nnd then some more.

Goodman, who waa imprisoned In New York on Saturday, while attempting the life of William C. Greene, president of the Greene Con. Copper company of Mexico, is not unknown to Salt Lakers, who are taken periodically into the southern republic, said P. J. Donahue during the day. For fourteen years he had been asaoclated o In the state with the of Sonora ns its master mechanic. He had acquired an Interest In the Taqul group of mines on the Taqul river, and, as recited by Greene In New Tore, had parted with It for 100,000 shares of the Taqul Copper company, organised by Greene. In 1902 Mr. Donahue, while expertlng mines In Mexico, was sought by Goodman, who desired a purchaser for his holdings. Mr. Donahue took It up and found a purchaser. The stock was In a pool, however, and Goodman was unable to secure .It It was then thnt bad blood began to foment and that the trouble- will yet culminate In a tragedy is not unlikely. It la claimed by some that the Taqul Cons, mines can be made more productive than the Greene Con. at Cananea. Goodman alleges that the pool agreement was betrayed by Greene and the the latter was systematically selling on a market around $17, while the affiant had lost his Job and was without means of employment.

With the heavy crop of snow In the diggings affording positive assurance of a large crop of water the present season, arrangements are being made to resume operations on the old Castro placer at Bingham, said Nicholas Castro, the owner. In Salt Lake yesterday, and, with a thorough knowledge of the gravel, he has no doubt of munificent results. Although the scarcity of water has enabled him to operate the ground only at Intervals, it has been productive of most sensational results, said Unde Nick. Sixteen years ago parties who werq washing the gravel on tribute unearthed a nugget which was sold for $198.75, while on another occasion he reports the discovery of a nugget for which $19.25 was received, and, with an adequate flow of water he ses big promises for the coming season.
