GOLD
PRODUCTION
WASHINGTON, I). t, Jnn. U.
The jrolu mining industry of the
United States was npnin generally
norninl in 1013, neeerdinp: to II. 1).
JleCnHkey of the United States goo
logienl survey, but early figures in
dicate the smallest output since
1005, when it was jJ8S.1S0.700. In
JOOG tho production ineren'.ed to
$1)4,373,S00, in 1007 it dropped to
4-00,435,700, in 100S it ros-e to $04,
Cf.0,000, in 1000 it reached the high,
water mark of $00,673,400, in 1010
it fell to $00,269,100. in 1011 it rose
to $00,800,000, and in 10112 it fell
ngnin to $03,451,500. Kor 1013 the
preliminary estimates of the geolog
ieal survey nud bureau of the mint
indientc a domestic gold production
of $S8,n01,023, a decrease of $5,150,
477 from the final figures for 1912.
Tho decrease is to be ascribed
mainly to declines in tho output from
Alnskn, Nevada, South Dakota and
Utah. In Alaska tho net decrease
of over $1,500,000 was due in part to
the exceptionally dry summer of 1913
and the consequent water shortage
for both placer nnd lode mining, es
pecially in the interior, and in part
to further exhaustion of the bonanza
deposits of tho Fairbanks district.
In Nevada the cold output declined
about 10 per cent, or over $1,300,000.
owing partly to a decline in the av
erage grade of ore treated at the
Goldfield Consolidated mill nnd part
ly to n falling off in tho output from
smaller districts. On the other hand,
tho production of gold from placers
and Tonopah ores of Sfyo county in
creased somewhat, and a consider
able output of gold was reported
from Churchill and Clark counties.
In South Dakota tho production of
gold declined nearly $700,000 from
tho record yield in 1012, but the
yield was still above tho yearly aver
age for the last decade. The great
llomestako mines and mills were
continuously operated, but with de
creased output. In Utah the falling
off in gold yield was over $075,000
and was due chiefly to tho exhaus
tion of the ore bodies of the Mereur
mines. In Montana the gold yield
decreased over $400,000, principally
in gold derived from copper and il
iceous ores. In Colorado the net gold
output declined only about $200,000,
tho losses being mainly in San Mig
uel, Ouray, Boulder, Gilpin, Mineral
(Creedo) nnd Park counties, although
these losses were largely offset by
an inci eased output of over $175,000
at Cripple Creek (Teller county),
and increases in Ln Plata, San Juan,
Chaffee, Summit and other counties.
Gold production was about normal
in Idaho nnd Washington in 1913 and
increased over $175,000 in Arizona
nearly $300,000 in California, nearly
$100,000 in New Mexico nnd over
$600,000 in Oregon. Tho increased
production in Oregon was largely due
to better yield from establish!
mines.
California retains first rank in
gold output in 1013, followed in or
der by Colorado, Alaska, Nevada,
South Dakota nnd Utah. Increased
output on any large scale is hardly
to bo expected from any of these
states in 1914, and indeed the totjl
domestic gold production of tho near
futuro may bhow further decline.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 14. Recent
discussions with reference to impor
tations of potatoes into tho United
States lend interest to a stutemont
compiled by tho bureau of foreign
nnd domestic com me re a of tho de
partment of commerce showing the
imports and exports of this class of
merchandise duriuir a long term of
years. It shows that tho lurgest im
portation of potatoes in any hingl
year occurred in thu fiscul year
1012, when tho total quantity im
ported was thirteen nnd threcypinr
tcr million bushels, the next largest
boing in 1009, eight and one-third
million bushels, and in 1002 seven
nnd two-thirds million bushels. The
total quantity imported since 1900 is
practically thirty-seven million bush
els, and tho quuntity exported in the
piimo period sixteen lnillioij bush
els, tho total production in the Unit
ed States during that period having
been over four billion bushels, or un
nvenigo of approximately three hun
dred million bushels per annum, the
about three hundred million bushels
figures of reoent years uvoraging
about threo hundred million bushels
per annum, except iu years of ab
normally short crops-.
SAN D1KGO, On!., Jnn. U.rW
mer expositions have shown wild
men and women from the Antipodes,
but it has remained for tho San
Diego exposition to find a whole na
tion of wild men within the borders
of the United Stales, a whole vast
area whore nothing has progressed
since before the invasion of Mexico
by Corter. iu 1517. This area is iu
northeastern Arizona, nnd the Santu
Fe railway will cover ten acrvs of
ground at the exposition with as
close n copy of this country as U
possible to produce.
This locality is known as the
painted desert. It's a laud where no
white man ha dared attempt agri
culture or mining, where there is
nothing but the Indian, his ancient
civilization unaltered, living in siv
story houses of 100 rooms without
an outside door, doing the same
things iu the snmo way his forefath
ers did for centuries before white
men enmo to America.
Comparatively few white men have
penetrated this district. None bus.
remained there. At lottir intervals n
scientist has penetrated the fast
nesses of the red and yellow hill-.
Indians emerge from it occasionally
but they invariably return. Their
homes are the identical building
erected many centuries ago. Their
pottery is the -ame, ii-cd for the
same tirjx'e and in the same rude
manner. Their customs and tribn'
laws remain unchanged since when
no man knows to the contrary. They
irrigate small patches of emit J"'
as did their forefather. The coun
try repels even the hnrdy prospector.
Trees, except those petrified into
stone, are not seen. No two hill
are of the same color. The very
rocks are variegated iu hue. The
pitiless sun scorches all vegetation
encouraged by tho winter and spriiiL-rains.
SUPERVISED PLAY
S ONE OF GREATEST
NEED DEN
Dr. Stewart in her talk on play
and playgrounds at the library la-t
night emphasized her belief that su
pervised play is one of the grcate-t
needs of the present generation.
"Children," said Dr. Stewart,
"hnve forgotten how to play. Iu n
questionier sent out to more than
300 girls, the average answer ti the
question, "at what tigv did you ceasi
playing games!" was ten years. Su
pervised piny teaches fairness, for if
left to their own devise-, might
make- rinlit with children; and if the
b'ggcst bully says it was a foul ball,
even though the weakest boy stead
ily maintains it was n strike why.
it was a foul.
"The itaug spirit among boys give
them a feeling of group conscious
ness, which, if directed, makes for
good citizenship: but if left undi
rected leads to the itiveuile court.
"The churches." said Dr. Stewart,
"are not reaching the young pimple,
and they arc missing the greatest
work iu the world. If they took up
(lis quc-ttoit as they have done in
Rochester, N. ., with n social en
gineer, a person of large experience
who directs the socinl activities of
all the jouitg people of the whole
communities just as a city manacer
doe- that of nil the civic activities
of the government.'
Dr. Stewart closed with an appeal
to save the beautiful souls of our
children, even though we had to
forge some of the beauties of our
municipalities to open the school
houses for neighborhood centers and
live our children's lives with them.
Dr. Stewart's lecture tonight is on
the open nir school.
