Nevada's silver production of 10,000,-599 10,000,-599 ounces in 1918 fell to 7,0u0,000 ounces in 1919, of which Tonopah district dis-trict produced about 3,535,000 ounces. Gold yield of placer camps in the i'ukon valley for 1020 is estimated at j $4,4S5,0)0 by mining company officials at Yukon. Camps in the interior of Alaska are expected to yield .$2,985,000. Three mining locations In the Sawtooth Saw-tooth range, four miles from Sulphur In western Humboldt county, Nevada, forms the basis of a new corporation called the Gettysburg Silver Mining company. Although production of gasoline for the first six months of this year was 13 per cent greater than for the same period of 1919, the increase in consumption consump-tion was 32 per cent, it is reported by the bureau of mines. Output of Nevada gold mines decreased de-creased from $0,019,937 m 1918 to $4,-718,000 $4,-718,000 in 1919. Montana production in 11119 aggregated $2,272,000, a decrease de-crease over 1918, and a further reduction reduc-tion is expected this year. The Hecla Mining company will disburse dis-burse its regular quarterly dividend of $150,000 on September 28, according to an announcement from the Wallace, Idaho office. This is at the rate of 15 cents a share on the issue of 1,000,000 shares. The value of the gold, silver, copper and lead production of Washington in 1010 was nbout $059,000, a decrease of $508,000 over 1918. The 1918 production pro-duction Included about $280,000 in gold, 300,000 ounces of silver, 1,321,-U00 1,321,-U00 pounds of lead. In July the Butte and Superior Mining Min-ing company obtained a mill recovery of 97 per cent of the zinc content of its ore, says the Boston News Bureau. This is 4 per cent more than in the preceding month and is 3 per cent more than the monthly average for the past few months. California oil companies are now preparing to obtain large supplies of fuller's earth from Death Valley. The Associated Oil company is arranging to ship 20,000 tons yearly from Shoshone Sho-shone to the refinery at Martinez, according ac-cording to officials of the Tonopah & Tidewater railroad. Oil supply in the United States is more favorable than for months, say government experts, acording to the Boston News Bureau. Production jumped sharply In June to 37,219,000 barrels, with daily average of 1,240,033, the largest ever recorded for one month. The midyear metal review by the geographical survey, containing reports re-ports of production of gold, silver, copper, cop-per, leud and zinc in Arizona, Colorado, Colora-do, Nevada, Montana, Oregon, Washington, Wash-ington, Utah, Idaho and Texas, makes comparisons with 1918 production and predicts mainly continued production for 1919. As no railway cars have been obtainable ob-tainable for shipments of ore from Eureka, Eu-reka, the Croesus mine has been driving driv-ing three drifts in search of new ore bodies. One of these, on the 200-foot level, Is running west to explore the limestones adjacent to an extensive intrusion in-trusion of rhyolite that appears on the Home Ticket locution. The management of the Tonopah Divide Di-vide mine announces that the shaft is now down over 975 feet, and Will be j sent down to 1025 feet before cutting ' a station at the 100-foot level, to cross-I cross-I cut to the vein. This will give a 25-' 25-' foot sump for taking care of the water if n flow is struck when the vein is reached by the crosscut. The output of silver from Montana in 1919 was about 13,280,000 ounces, valued at $14,708,000, a slight decrease from "the record output of 1918. Oregon Ore-gon silver receipts amounted to 11,323 ounces during the first half of last , year, but fell to only 1520 ounces during dur-ing the corresponding period of this year, the loss being 80 per cent. The mining outlook in Nevada is generally gen-erally good with the stronger position . steadily being attained by silver and ! lead and as the result of the highly favorable ore disclosures at Divide.

It Is said that a rich vein of gold has been struck near Cove Fort, twtS- ty miles south of Kanosh. The gold was discovered by a crew of workmen, who were grading the state road leading lead-ing from Kanosh to the Sevlur river valley. In the work of grading it became be-came necessary to blast through a rocky ledge and when the. blast was let off the gold was discovered, the main fissure of which came to the surface right in tne ceuter of the road, t In the world-wide struggle for oil, 'discovery of a new field in eastern 1 Wyoming, 100 miles east of Salt Creek, and four miles from the South Da-Uota Da-Uota line, Is announced by the United ! States geographical survey. It Is I known as the Mulo Creek field.
