Show utah makes k creditable credi table es production products i on in 1 n 1914 As a result of the depression in the ithe metal market due to the european war there was a decrease of about in the value of the gold ts ilver copper lead and zinc output from utah mines in 1914 according to estimates by V C heikes of the U S geological survey mr heikes halkes gives for 1914 a value of there was an increase in the quantity of lead produced but decreases in gold silver copper and zinc estimated as spelter the ore mined decreased about 6 per cent from tons in 1913 to about tons in 1934 1914 about tons was produced at bingham a decrease from tons in 1913 the utah copper 5 company kompany produced nearly tons of low grade ore and other mines contributing large tonnages ton nages were the ohio copper utah apex yampa bingham mines united states mining lining company utah consolidated haven and new england the district produced over 1 1 I 1 tons against tons in 1913 the main producers were the mammoth centennial eureka chief consolidated iron blossom gemini eagle and blue bell may day victoria and gold chain construction of a ton cone concentration antra entra tion plant to treat low grade gra deore ore especially from the chief consol consolidated dated was begun in september at eureka elearly all the ore was shipped directly from the smelters shelters sm elters the mill at silver city fusing the christensen roasting and leaching process was still in the experimental stage old tailings from the may day dump were cyanided in the park palk city region about tons of crude gre re and concentrates were shipped against tons in 1913 this was partly zinc concentrate from the daly judge and creek tailings failings in beaver county the output decreased I 1 crea ged from to about tons principally from the cactus horn silver and alia moscow mines in tooele thoele county ore production from stockton and ophir also decreased from tons to about tons the gold output decreased over 7 per cent from in 1913 to in 1914 the gold came principally from copper ore but partly from lead ore and siliceous ore shipped A small quantity only was produced in gold and silver mills at the sheep rock in beaver county the bully boy in plute county anti ana itne aay lay day dump in tintic gintic district ore and tailings were cyanided in the bull valley district of washington county gold ore was and a small amalgamation mill is under construction st by lessees lessels les sees the production of silver decreased from ounces in 1913 to about in 1914 or more than 10 per cent in quantity and about in value the greater part of the silver came from lead ore and smaller amounts were produced from copper ores and siliceous ores shipped to smelters shelters sm elters tintic gintic is by far the largest silver producing district two mills at park city made progress with the roasting and leaching process the mines operating company treating ontario ore was active most of the year and operators of the park city mills began work on american flag ores october 1 after remodeling the grasselli chemical companas Comp anys mill purchased early in the year the copper output of utah decreased from pounds in 1913 to pounds in 1914 or more than 4 per cent in quantity und and about in value this reduction was mostly at the smaller mines as the utah copper increased its output by pounds during the second quarter of the year the mine was unusually productive but it fell far below the normal output during the last half year when the arthur mill wa was s idle the mines handling low grade porphyry ore including the utah copper ohio copper and cactus produced over over pounds of copper against pounds in 1913 the lead production increased from pounds in 1913 to pounds in 1914 or over 9 per cent creditable largely to the tintic gintic and bingham districts where the utah apex united states mining co bingham mines co bingham new haven and utah consolidated were large contributors in park city there was a general decrease shipments from daly west fell off on account of the destruction of the mill I 1 but the silver king coalition daly judge and silver king consolidated were constant shippers at alta the south hecla produced much lead ore and in the big cottonwood Cotton woo district an important strike was made at the cardiff property shipments of zinc ore and concentrates were much smaller than during the preceding year from pounds of recoverable spelter in 1913 ithe total output decreased to about pounds in 1914 or about one fourth A large part of the zinc produced in 1914 came from the horn silver mine in beaver county but considerable ore was mined from the united states mining companas Comp anys property at bingham the daly judge at park city the may day at eureka and the hidden treasure at ophir other shipments came from the tintic gintic district where the chief consolidated was a new zinc ore producer the smelting smelling sm elting establishments at murray midvale tooele thoele and garfield were active but were not running at full capacity during the latter part of the year |
