The past year, as It affects the mining of gold, silver, copper, sine and lead, will be remembered as having marked a period of very substantial production by a number of new enterprises, organised within the past three years. The general Impetus which has been in evidence in the development of mines since 1898 and which reached its climax in 1902 was not deterred in 1903, notwithstanding the fact that the preliminary figures compiled by the director of the mint show a decrease in the gold production of 36,000,000. This loss is readily explained by .the falling off of the Cripple Creek output due to labor troubles. While 1902 was in every respect a memorable year for the mining industry one which witnessed the greatest amount of new development work ever undertaken for a like period yet 1903 will take rank as a satisfactory sequence to a memorable year. In the west, particularly in Colorado, Arisona and California, operations of the mines have been hampered by la- OUR TON IS AS BIG AS TON CAN BE.
