Utah now has ninety-eight members of tho American Mining congress, but It should at onco havo over 200, and In tlmo more than 1,000, according to J. F. Cnlbreath of Denver, socrotary of tho congress. Arizona mines last year yielded a total of $12,910,715.19, according to a fltatemont Just Issued by Territorial Auditor Foster of the gross production of tho mines and mining claims of Arizona for the year 1909. Tho production of gold In South Dakota has fallen off a million and a half dollars In the last year on account ac-count of labor troubles, according to tho report of the stato mine Inspector. Tho output for tho year is given at $1,521,304. That thero will bo no further dividends divi-dends from tho treasury of tho Round Mountain Mining company for at least a year to como, Is forecasted by President J. R.

Increase In-crease of moro thau 3,500.000 tons over tho Octobor 1 estimate. Tho report is confirmed that tho Centennial Plocho comynny has encountered en-countered water nnd ore In the Hmo at a depth of 510 feet ln tho shaft, which necessitates tho Installation of moro powerful hoisting equipment and wnter bundling machinery. Liberal policy ln opening tho punllc oil lands ln California and other states will bo recommended to congress con-gress by Socrotary Ballnger in his nn-mini nn-mini report. Ho declared a fow days ago that ho favored a general leasing system for oil and gas-bearing lands. In relation to the discovery or new gold and silver districts, It is certain thnt tho next fow years will witness great discoveries In tho west. Idaho, Montana and Oregon have tremendous tremen-dous reserves of gold and silver ores limply awiTlfing caplfal "anfr moufull-glcul moufull-glcul skill. For tho purposo of coming to a better bet-ter understanding ln regard to tho character of work to be dono during tho year by tho American Mining congress, Secretary J. C. Calbreath wa3 ln Salt Lake from his Denver headquarters last week, conferring with President John Dorn. A donlal comes from Boston in answer an-swer to tho report that ono result of tho Mexican 'troubles at Paduca was tho firing of tho mills nnd works of the United States Smelting, Refining & Mining company. Tho Boston and Now York offices of this company do-nlod do-nlod thnt any damage had been dono. What Is agreed to bo tho finest showing of oro so far had in in- ?jng and deep Utah Minos Coalition tunnel, tun-nel, ln Big Cottonwood, near Salt Lake, Is reported from tho mine. Tho tunnel has been continued to n point fully 125 feet beyond tho place whero tho Initial discovery of rich oro was mado. At the Tonopah Belmont property In Tonopah during tho month of October, tho management treated 6.54G tons of Dro at tho mill nnd 1,135 tons wero 3hlppcd to tho smelters, tho gross valuo of which was $2iri,05G.G9.

Merrill of Utah has returned re-turned from Kennott, Cnl., where ho examined tho fiolds nnd fnrms ln tho vicinity of tho smoltor where thoy havo Installed tho baghouso systom of catching tho destructive oloments in the fumes. Ho declares that tho baghouso practically ollmlnntes tho trouble, and the farmers In tho vicinity vicin-ity aro rojolclng. Instead of tho outook for tho production pro-duction of precious motals being discouraging dis-couraging thero Is no period within tho last ton years when It was moro oncouraglng than, at this time. If tho samo energy wore displayed In tho opening up of gold and silver ore3 which Is displayed In tho mining of copper, tho gold production or mis country would bo nearly doubled, nnd an output of at least $150,000,000 per annum could be maintained for many years to como. Hornco Wlncholl, tho consulting geologist of Amalgamated Copper company, has Just finished nn under' ground examination of East Butto. Tho details aro most gratifying to tho management, says a Boston' dispatch. Tho Now Orleans mint will bo abandoned. aban-doned.

The gold bullion at Now Orleans Or-leans is bolng transferred to Philadelphia. |
