That the Cripple Creek gold camp will come out of its doldrums this fall, when the labor situation is expected to ease up considerably, is the opinion of George M. Taylor, manager of "the Portland Gold Mining company, according ac-cording to the Rocky Mountain News. The present low condition of the gold ; mining camps Is entirely a product of I the labor situation, according to ex-; ex-; perts. I The production of metals in the Black Hills district of South Dakota in 1920 has been confined almost exclusively ex-clusively to two mines, the Homestake and Trojan. Shipments of ore from the mines of the Tintic district for the week ending August 13 totalled 122 carloads, as compared with 150 carloads for the . previous week. One carload of bullion was shipped from tlie Tintic mill.
