"The accomplishment of the nam

tor of the United .States geological
urrey sums up his official mid-year
renew of the mineral industry as re
ported to bin' by "( the ; government
geologists, aid statisticians covering
the different subjects. A "Active de
aiaads and good prices have furnish
ed the mine operators with full op
portunity for 'success in wbralng de
veloped properties, and this in turn
has given added inceptive and avail
able funds for exploration, prospect
ing, and experimentation with new
processes. The mining man is hav

; Summarising, the special reports
which are now being made public.
Director Smith continues his review:
"The returns for six months furn
ish a basis for the belief thst 1916
will set up a new record for the soft
coal mines. Every coal mining state
is sharing in this prosperity and of
course this demand for coal ia to be
traced back to the . Increased busi
ness of the railroads and of the steel
and other large Industries.
"The Portland cement industry has
had a busy six months and the manu
facturers sre optimistic. It is pre
dicted that In both production and
shipments of cement this year will
show a gain over last year. If Indeed
it does not establish a new record for
cement.' ',' . i ,
"Among the metals copper Is con
tinuing the steady increase in pro
duction which began early last year,
and the forecast for 1916 indicates
not only the largest output ever
known but also the largest profits.
"Most precious metal mines are
operating at full capacity. The gold
production . will probably fall below
the high yield of last year, but silver,
the one metal last to benefit by the
general domestic prosperity. Is ex
pected this year to break all previous
records.
"In quicksilver the outlook Is for
a continuance of the output of 1915,
which was the largest for several
years. Thus far In 1916 the average
price hss greatly exceeded the 1915
prices; and although the reaction in
prices has come, conditions are fav
orable for steady and profitable oper
ation of the quicksilver mines, some
of which are newly opened.
