Mr. Wing will go to southern and eastern Oregon, .to meet "-"alt tha uromtnent operators possible. " Tha figures published recently were . estimates made on amelter returna and data of bullion aent to banks, espress '" offices and other places with which the government la a bla to . establish- comiau. nlcatlon. But after the estimate from "1 these sources, the government assayers ' go into the- mining districts, securing from the operators themselves as full statements as they will make 'public, and these are used in the final official report of the director of the mint. Mr. Wing1 in his efforts to give the states -full credit ha a In the- past been -i giving a slightly higher- figure -in bis first estimate- than he later demon strated by full reports. The estimates. however, have always been remarkably rxloeer'and It Is not poaalble for the state J to find much comfort in the hope that full figures yet to be obtained, will en hance Oregon's credit for -the, year ISO. "The past year was disappointing to me," said Mr. Wing, "you win remom ber that In the 103 report I predicted a material increase-In the production bf goIffrir-rh tnlns of Oregon Thef ore cast was not Justified.
