No changes of moment In the mln- i
Ing situation In Oregon are noted by
Charles J. Yule of tlie Cnlted States
geological auivey fur t tie first six
months of 191S. The bullion receipts
of the mint and smelters at Kan Fran
cisco show that the output of cold
has Increased I1U7.000 and that of sil
ver 14.0UU ounces In the first five
months of 1918 over the output
of the corresponding period In 1915.
The lncreaae in gold Is due entirely to
dredging operations.
The Cowder Klver Gold Dredging
company, which in the first naif of
191s had but one dredge operating near
bumpier, luker oiuity. has been oi k
Ing with two dredges during the first
six month uf l'Jlii. With the excep
tion of three deep mines, all in Baker
county, th's is the largest gold-mining,
enterprise in Oregon.
Fut Under lease.
The properties of the Couger Mln- i
Ing company, near Sumpter. have been j
placed under lease and bond to tine ,
United Oold Mining company of Spo-
kane, Wash. In addition to the 200
ton mill, tube mills and a cyanide
plant arc to be Installed.
The Queen of Bronze copper mine.
Which ships its ore from Waldo by
-team to tirants Pass and thence by
rail to smelters ai Kennett and Ta
coina, has been sold to the Twohy In
terests, who are now building the Cal
ifornia A Oregon Coast railway toward
Cfesoent City. Cal.
After years of Idleness work ha i
been resumed on the Iron Dyke mine 1
at Copperfleld, which Is snipping ore i
to Colorado for reduction. I
The Black Kale property, near
Grants Pass, has been sold to men who
are to erect a fiO-ton mill.
There Is notable activity in the hy
draulic mining Industry of the state,
particularly in the counties along the
northwest border of California. Many
old properties have been reopened, and j
new ones havd been put In shape for !
working.
Productive Mines XJsted.
The most productive deep mines In
Oregon continue to be those of the Cor
nucopia Mines company and Baker
.Mines company, in the Cornucopia dis
trict. Baker county; Commerdul Min
ing company, in the Mormon Creek dis
trict; Coliiinhiii Hold .Mines company
in the Cracker Creek district; Home
stead Iron Dyke, in the Iron Dyke dis
trict, and

Mines, In Malheur county.
The largest producers among the
placer mines are the Powder River

months of the year. Copper mining
probably will show the greatest ad
vonoes. About 15 mines are now ship
ping ore and developments are being
pushed on others, indicating that they
may become producers before the end
of the year. There Is every reason to
believe, therefore, that the Alaska cop
per output for 1916 will be greater than
that for any previous year.
The gold lode mines of Alaska will
also make a larger production this
yt-ar than last, but It is not now ex
pected that the placer-mining Industry
Will show any marked Increase.

creased output of domestic sodium cy
anide, which has practically replaced
jotar.iuni cyanide In the leaching of
precious metals.
Flotation has begun to increase sav
ing of gold from tailings. Many old
gold prospectors have been giving at
tention to deposits of tungsten, anti-
mony, quicksilver, and other mineral
products whose value has enhanced
since the outbreak of the war.
Final figures of geological survey
and the bureau of the mint give a
total domestic production for 1915 of
1101,035.700 in gold, and 74.961.076
ounces of sliver, valued at $37,397,300,
against $94,631,800 in gold and 72,405,
100 ounces of silver in 1914. These fig
ures Include the gold production of the
Philippines, which has been steadily
on the Increase.
OUTPUT OF MIXES GREATER
: Lead and Zinc Ores Are Receiving
j More Attention.
I Reports received by the United
States geological survey show that the
' mine production of lead and line ores
during the first six months of 1916
was much larger than that of any pre
ceding months. The lead and xlnc
j mines have been able to produce all
I the ore needed to supply the Increased
i capacity of the smelters. The ore and
i concentrates were sold at prices which
J yielded large profits, notwithstanding
; Increased costs of production and the
working of large quantities of low
1 grade ore which could not be mined at
a profit under. normal conditions.
, High grade zinc concentrates free or
nearly free from lead and Iron con
tinued to be in demand, and the base
price offered for such concentrates was
ranarallv mnrf-i hlhfip than that
fere1 ror Iow Brade concentrates.
The stock of sine concentrates un
sold In June was larger than usual but
probably was not much more than two
weeks' production. The production of
zinc carbonate and silicate showed no
great Increase, and the galena concen
trates sold, Indicate a production of
about 56,000 tons in 191f,. or 11.000 tons
more than In 1915. The selling price of
Die lead concentrates was nearly dou
ble the average price in 1915.
In the western states small Increases
of both lead and zinc were made In Ar
izona. Colorado, New Mexico and Wash-
lngton. In Nevada an Increased quan-
tuy of zinc ore was shipped from Clark

reka districts indicate a considerably
large output of lead from Nevada for

The Coeur d'Alene region in Idaho
shipped 30,000 tons of lead ore or con
centrates a month. The Interstate,
Callahan, Success, Frisco and other
mines were shipping more than 8000
tons of zinc concentrates or ore
monthly, which Is much more than the
shipments in 1915.
The reports from all states indicate
that the production of zinc ores in the
United States in the first six months
of 1916 was at a rate 25 to 30 per cent
larger than that In 1915.

Dallas, Or.. July 8. Operations are
well under way now at the quarry of
the Oregon Portland Cement company
at Bridgeport, near Dallas. From 40
to 50 men are employed at the quarry,
where the supply of lime rock Is said
to be practically Inexhaustible.
About 700 pounds of dynamite are
used in a single blast every week, and
the result of such a blast is the dis
placement of a ledge of rock about
00 feet long, and from 15 to 20 feet
high, which are broken into pieces
that will weigh from 10 to 50 tons
each. These are in turn split up with
wedges and powder and broken by
Ber. Harrison mine in the Sumpter dis
trict and will spend most of the sum
mer in inspections and researches.
Asbestos Shipped East.
Twenty tons of asbestos has been
shipped east during the last few days
from the Grant county mines through
Baker. The shipment is said to have
been worth $3000.

University of Oregon, Eugenf, Or.,
July S. A Portland boy with a taste
for statistics has lust compile! for
the University of Oregon a.t-ei.'cs of
tables of data concerning the lnsiltu-
tion which the authorities are very
glad to have, but which they have
never felt able to have worked up by
regular statisticians. Fred Heittu jsen,
of 999 Williams avenue, Portland, a
Junior in the school of commerce, has
Labored all spring adding up long col
umns of figures and computing aver
ages, and he has done it for the love
of the work, and to eati&ify his own
intellectual curiosity. He Is taking no
work in statistics nor in any other
course in which he could expect uni
versity creult for hi efforts.
Averages Figured Out. 1
Helthausen, with true German
thoroughness, has figured out to a day
the average ages of women and men
students at different stages of the
university's history, their average age
on entering college, the youngest and
oldest members of the various classes,
the percentage coming from public
high schools and from private schools,
the length of time they have stayed in
the university on the average, the
quality of their work as indicated by I
the "marks" received, the variou parts
of the state which have furnished the I
moat students at different times, and j
the different university courses they J
have elected. !
The women are getting older ana the
men younger, Helthausen finds. In
1905 the average age of the fresnman
girl on entrance was 19.42 years; in
1910, 19.51 years; and in 1915. 19.74
years. For the same years the men's
agea had run 20.38, 20.85 and 19.73.
The men and the women nowadays are
almost precisely the same age. accord
ing to Heithausen's figures.
Keen Interest Shown.
Heithausen's interest In compiling
these tables was largely to satisfy
himself whether certain "tendencies
of the times" that he had heard dis
cussed really existed or not. He had
heard that the college student of to
day was much younger than tht stu
dent of some years ago. Conclusion
number one nothing in it
In the three periods covered by
Heithausen's figures the student pop
ulation has nearly doubled twice. .Ex
cluding medical school, law school, ex
tension studei ts and the llkje, the uni
versity had in 1905, 1910 and 1915 re
spectively, 281 students, 491 students,
and 818 students. In the little old
"freshwater college" of 10 years ago
it was easier for the freshman to get
high marks than is the case today in
the larger university with its harder
courses and stricter standards.
Neither men or women have
been
the faculty with the game degree of
ease. In 1905 the standings of the
first year men in their classworx over
aged 2.121 (perfect being represented
by 1., and failure by 5.); in 1910 the
standard had risen until the average
freshman student was rated at 3.020
and 1915 his rank was 3.209. Among
the women the figures are 2.09C, 2.670
and 2.868.
Many Facts Deducted,
In 1905, 26.5 per cent of the men and
14.2 per cent of the women came from

LMOST anyone can recognize by
their ear-marks the peculiar
characteristics of Goodyear
No-Hook Tires.
You can easily recognize their greater
strength snd sturdiness of construction.
And you can see that they are lively and
pliable to remarkable degree.
The resilience flows out of the fact that
their stoutness is built up by layer upon
layer of purest rubber and the finest fabric
manufactured.
Two things to be dreaded are tires that
are skimped, and tires impregnated with
mineral substitutes for rubber.
In No-Hook Tires you get both the size
that spells safety and the purity of rubber
that ensures resilience.
