COMPLETE FIGURES ON THE OUTPUT State * In the leml In Gold I'ruiiiifllon Slntp * nnil Tprrltorlcn Compared Silver nnil Copper ( rum the Urent Mine * . The preparation of statistics for the fourth volume of Mineral Industry has been prac tically completed , and the Engineering and Kilning Journal has compiled summaries which show at a glance what was done In mineral production In the United States last year as compared with other years. These " " figures show that Colorado Is the great gold producing state , and while the totals differ from other totals that hate been published heretofore , In Colorado and In other states and territories , the relative Importance of the various states Is not changed. The gold output In the United States In 1S9T , says the Engineering and Mining Journal , reached a total of 2,864.576 fine ounces , or 139,210,795 ; nn amount which exceeded by (8,324,586 , or 12 per cent , the high total of 1S96 , and by $12.380,393 , or 216 per cent , that of 189i. This Increase keeps the United States at the , head ot the gold producers of the world , Its T total for 1S97 exceeding the $30.618,679 re ported for the mines of the Transvaal by " - $ T,592,11G ; while It was more by $3,781,056 than the total production of the seven Aus tralian colonies. No other country except Ilussla approaches these three leading pro ducers In the amount of gold furnished. Our total was somewhat over one-fourth of the entire gold production of the world. To look back a little we find that the out put la now but little below the maximum points reached after the first discovery of gold In California ) when a phenomenal out put was obtained from the newly opened placers. The statistics of production were not then collected with the care now exer cised ; but the estimated totals were $60- 000,000 In 1S32 , and $63.000,000 In 1S33 and $60,000,000 In 1854. In no other year did the mines of the country reach the amount of $60,000,000 , which was -very nearly touched In 1S97 , though for sev eral years the California placers , assisted by the later discoveries throughout the Rocky mountain region , kept the output not far from $33,000,000. Hi-null * of Imliifttrjr. The large total for 1S97 was not the result of any such discoveries as those of the ear lier days. The year. Indeed , was not marked by any new discoveries. As for several jears past , the gain has been due to the Indus trious exploitation of old mines , the exten sion of workings , the closer saving of val ues , and ; above all , the Improvements In metallurgy which have made possible the operation of many mines which were formerly unprofitable , and the extraction of gold from ores formerly held to be too low- grade to be workable. , The following table shows the gold pro duction of the United States for three jears. 15-Vj. 1S9 < 5. 1S97.

We have not forgotten the Klondike dis coveries whtchcaused BO great a sensation in the closing months of 1S97 , but It must be remembered that the Klondike produc tion , which In 1897 amounted to $2,500,000 , Is credited to Canada. Gold exists also In the gravel deposits of the Yukon on the United States side of the boundary line , and 1 discoveries have been made at various points , and the thorough prospecting of the country will be one result of the Canadian finds. So far , however , there has been but little actual addition to the Alaskan produc tion of Gold In fact. In 1S97 , the Klondike boom caused the miners on the loner Yukon to leave their diggings and actually made n reduction from what would otherwise have been the American output. Colorado was far In the lead of all the elates In 1S97 as a gold producer. The Increase reported from Cripple Creek , the steady gain In the mines of the Ibex com pany at Leadville , the activity In the old mines of Gllpln county and elsewhere , all 1 contributed to swell the gold output , which 11 was the largest ever reported for the state , nnd was very nearly one-third of the total for the country. The gain over 1S96 was $4.511.71:6 : , or nearly 30 per cent. The In dications are that gold production will con tinue at a high level for some jears tc come. California not only dropped from the lending place , but showed a small decrease 1233,900 , as compared with 1S95. The old mines of the Mother Lode and of the othei districts continued to be worked steadll ; and to yield well , but the Randsburg ant other districts In Southern California bardl ) camu up to the first promise and addei comparatively a small amount to the total The lack of water caused a restriction Ir the output from hydraulic mining In 1S97. Sattflt Dakota Mine * . The third producer In 1S97 was South Da fcota , whose gain was $381,000 or 7.S per cent The steady working of the Homestake am other large mines of the Black Hills fur ulshed as heretofore most of the gold. Mln ing and prospecting have been very active however , and some new districts have bee : opened up which promise well. Montana held the fourth place , bu showed only a small gain In 1S97. It was gain , however , and the gold mines of Mon tana still hold nn Important place , thoug : somewhat overshadowed by the great cop per and silver producers. To many who have looked on Nevada a a silver state exclusively It may be some what ot a surprise to learn that the stat ranked fifth as a gold producer in 1S97 an showed a gain of J5S9.4I2 over the precedln jear.

COLD CURE v Mar mln ? , which Is proving a large pro ducer ot the yellow metal. Alaska showed a gain of 1C44.300 , almost entirely from the coast mlnrs. The great mines on Douglas Island are largely Increas ing their milling capacity and to the Alaska Treadwell and the Alaska Mexican a third , the Alaska United has Wen added , { which , however , was not a producer In 1837 , Its mill having been but lately completed. Idaho showed a small decrease In IVj" . ' The same may be said of Utah , though In that state the gold mines of the Mercer dls- J trlct were steadily operated. Oregon on the ) other hand reports a gain of $123,533 , or ! 10.5 per cent , chiefly from the placer mines i of the western part of the state. The pro duction of New Mexico was very nearly the same In 1S9T as In the preceding year , showing a decrease of J3.SOO on a total of J470,000. In Washington a small gain is noted. The attempt to boofa some of the southern gold mints about the close of 1S90 and tn I the early part of 1S&7 resulted In little or J nothing and the output of the southern states amounted In all to J2J9.737 in 1897 , jor { 11,573 less than In 1S36. There was very little change In the charaster of the pro duction , which came from a few mines in North Carolina , the Halle mine In South Carolina and the small mines ot Lumpkln and Cherokee counties In Georgia. Alabama contributed very little. A new gold region Is reported In Texas , but the account from It are conflicting and much more exploration than has vet been made Is needed to show Its real value. IMiiriTN In the Mill * . The small amount contributed by a few scattering mine * In other stales callj for no special remark. It will be seen that by far the greater part of the Increase In gold reported In our table was from Colorado and that practically all of It came from the Rocky mountain re gion of which Colorado Is the center. There are no statistics available to show exactly what proportion of the gold came from placer workings and how much from the working of vein of lode mines. The proportion of placer gold is declining by reason of the increasing amounts produced from ore. There Is a tendency to use dredg ing machinery for working on a large scale the beds of streams containing gold. There has been quite a demand for machinery of this class. Moderate success has been se cured In some localities in Montana , in Idaho and to a limited extent In Georgia. It cannot bo said , however , that dredging added much to the output of gold in 1S97. As ln several previous years there has been an Increase In the proportion of gold obtained from Its ores by smelting and by the various leaching processes chlorinatlon and cyanlding chiefly. This 1 ? the future of gold mining and these processes , with smelting with copper and lead ores , are gaining rap- Idly. Idly.The The gold reported from the United States , however , does not represent the total quantity turned out by our smelters and refiners. There was a further quantity of 584,993 fine ounces or J12,091,5S3 reported which came from foreign ores and base bul lion treated In this country. This brings the total amount of gold refined and put Into merchantable form In the United States In 1897 up to 3,440,559 ounces or $71,302,394. The gold from foreign ores was therefore about one-sixth of the last total given or about one-fifth as much as that obtained from the ores mined In the United States. The'dres thus treated by our metallurgical r\ \ works came chiefly from Mexico and Canada. , The gold production of the former In 1897 fwas J7.121.1SS and of the latter 16,190,000 , so that the larger part of the output of both came to this country for final treatment. Nearly all the British Columbia ores are sold to the smelters , only a very small part going to Great Britain , generally In the form of copper matter carrying some precious metals. Silver Production. The following la the production of silver in the United States the past two years : . . . , IS * 1S97.

Tbe total production of sliver In the United States In 1897 of domestic origin was 56,457,292 fine ounces , or J34.074.233 at the commercial value of 6035 cents per ounce. This was a decrease from 1896. a small ono only , the difference being 2,031,518 ounces , or 3.4 per cent. The difference In values was much greater , the average commer cial price of the metal having been 60.45 cents per fine ounce In 1S97 and 67.1 cents per ounce In 1S96. ATI-rime Price. With regard to this average price of 60 35 cents an ounce , we have adopted in the table the figures given to us by the United States mint bureau. Our own average , how ever , as worked out from the dally quota tions of the metal In New York Is J9.79 cents an ounce. The difference Is 0 56 per cent , which would make a difference ot J316.161 In the total value of the product. The lower price , however , did little to ward , the decreasing the production , as the figures show. The quantity of silver. In deed , was only S.542,708 ounces , or 13.1 per cent , less than the maximum which waa reached In 189. . That production should fall off only about one-eighth under ao heav/ a fall In price as silver has experienced In the last five years Is a remarkable fact and Is only explained by the large proportion of the metal which is won more or less as a by-product In connection with lead and cop per. per.In In examining the figures of the table we l- find that six states Colorado , Montana , Utah , Idaho , Nevada and Arizona produce 95 per cent of the silver. The output of the others Is unimportant , and In several o ( them nearly all of the metal Is obtained by ' e. parting from gold. Colorado is tbe leading producer of silver , as of gold , and reports a total of 21.273,20 : at ounces , or J12.S42.246. "A large part of this Is from tbe Leadville mines , which wen very actively worked during the year. There were many other silver mines throughout the state hlch were producers In 1S97 , and though none of the large mines at Aspen 01 elsewhere were In bonanza , the aggregate yield wa ? large. The. gold production ol Colorado exceeded in value ita silver produc tion by J6.737.391. A large proportion of the 16,807,346 ounce ; from Montana came from the great coppei mines ot Butte. There Is a wide difference between Mon < tana and Utah , which was tbe third produce ] In rank , and which had an output of 6,689 , . 754 ounces. The decrease In silver value : was probably felt more in Utah than in an ] other state , and in combination with th ( eight-hour law and other local causes , It ha : had the effect ot closing down two of the large silver mines tbe Ontario and the Dal : at Park City though both of them wen large producers in 1S97. The silver retun of Utah in 1S9S Is likely to show a considerable erablo decrease. Idaho reports a total ot 6,000,000 fln ounce * In 1S97. Tbe larger part of this wa from the silver-lead mines of the Coeu d'Alcnt and other dlitrlcts la whlc * tfc better price of lead went far toward making up for the decline In silver.

Omaha will have a running meet this summer , extending over the two weeks from August IS to September 3. The board of directors of the Fair and Speed associa tion decided upon It at the regular meeting last night after considering the matter for several weeks. The meet Is not to be a gathering of selling platers , but Is to be of such a character and with such purses up as will attract some of the best horses on the eastern tracks. The major part of the directors' meeting was spent In talking the project over , but nothing but tbe bare outline of the plan was mapped out. It Is proposed , however , to have a half dozen goo I races each day with purses of J400 or 7500 , and with several special purses of larger amounts scattered i through the meeting One rule to govern i has been settled upon from the start. Everything Is to be on tbe square , and every race from the jump will ba.on Its merits. The board of directors will set to work at once to make the preliminary arrangements for the meet , but no extensive progress will probably be made until after the light har ness meeting , which l to take place cur- ng the latter part of June an.l early July Since the meeting has been determined upon , however , the directors are going into it with their whole souls , and propose to make the first affair of the kind ever held n this city a winner About all the arrangements for the light narness meeting , which promises to be the most successful ever held here , have prac tically baen made. scouns or i-ic wnsTin > A-'onIx Terr > ItruiMvn Ills Youth unit Mi" Oa I'u"Hints. .
