BEDFORD MATE TTCTBUNTC, MEDFORD OREGON. TUESDAY. JULY C, 101.r PZQE THREE W. s MDYEAR HOWS MINI REM IN UNITED STATES WASHINGTON, July 0. "The initK.vrnr finds tin mineral milm trii's of tin1 United Static ccntnilK jirospcrons mid enjoying t roinl of active, development " Willi tin i statement the direetor of lh tinted Stnlcw goolonieii siirs'.V opens an of ficial iv view of mining romlitioiis as reported to him hv the pivernmeiit fjeolopits and statistieians working on this subject. "This revival is par ticularly true of some of the metals for which increased demands have liecn noted during the past iv months. This country has been first thrown upon its own resources for mineral products required and next, given the opportunity to supply the needs of foreign count lies who lmc offered us their trade. Comparative freedom from foreign competition mid, .in some important eases, in crease oT foreign markets have stim ulated production nnd a genural min ing advance has set in." Summarizing the speuial tepoits at hand, Director Smith continues his review : Iron Keasstirlng The six months' record in iron is reassuring in that hopes at the he ginning of the year have lieen real ized. Ore shipments from the Lake Supeiior mines liave begun well, Jluv, ntHfi, showing a 110 per cent increase over May, 101 1. The pig iron output is also promising in its steady in crease month by month. o that a reasonable prophecy is for a greater total M iron production for 1!M." than for last year. Enlargement and extensions at the iron and steel plants furnish unmi-takable evidence of ie turning business confidence. The half-year peiiod iust complet ed has witnessed great changes in the copper industry and in every partic ular the improvement has been not able. Prices, output and wages hae shown an upward trend, and prosper ity is the word in the copper districts of the Tnitcd Slates. Demand Tor Lead The demand for spelter and lend, ' the pic-out high prices, have given a double impetus to mining in the yinc-lcnd districts. In the .lonlin legion old mines uie being reopened, new shaftn are being sunk and pios pecting is most active. Smelters are pushed to capacity operation. The si. months period has been altogether favorable tor zinc miuo and smelt el's, and the .lime ndaucc in the price of lead makes the outlook bright for all lead mining. In the minor metals the first Amer ican mine to be extensively iR'iHtel for molybdenite hue been opened in Colorado; a tin smeller is repotted as being built in New Jersey, and the Colorado tungsten mines are working full handed on full time; an anlimouy hiuelter in California has resumed op orations and a new one has been elected ill the sumo tulo to work California oic; and antimony oics have been shipped from Nevada and Alaska. The demand for ipiicksilvei bus incrcn.scd, with I ho icsult that the California, Nevada and Tca pio duccr aie expected to woik at top eapacil). Coal and Petroleum Au unusual feature affecting coal mining has been the loss of hunker trade at the Atlantic potts, which is only paitially otfct liy iucicumg exports, Keports from the wct, on the' other hand, show au increase in coal production over lut M'lir, ""' in the east the coke output has in creased considerably of lute, Huts showing at last the effect of the le eent activity in iron and other metals. Tho petroleum production tor the fcix mouths just closed i believed to exceed that for the curicspouding period Int year. CnfoituiiHtery for the producer, this increase has not bctn in iepoino to n demand ox pressed in higher prices. On the con trary, the persistent flood of oil from the Oklahoma fields and from the new pool in Louisiana and Texas has piofintod any pruiaiient ndruuctf in price. I on rjiMts In Output lleMtrt from the suney's western offices aruJu thu mnin optimistic. Colorado already how hii iucieaoe in gold output ovor the feaiuo ieriod in noriiml yoai, and while tho xi months lias slum a no increase in totiimge for other ores, tlieie has lteu u large incieui-e in value and the prciit high price giteu the prow ie uf iuereuaed uiiiiuig activity dur iug the rest of the ,er.

Allen, Hoi brook Withinglnn und their many as sistants in piepnring the moving pic ture scenario of the Itogtte Itiver vallcv lor exliihitioa at the Snu Francisco exposition. With one or two exceptions, due to cloudy weather at the time the pictures wcie taken, the pictures are clear and dis tinct. They comprise not only a pan orama of the valley's beautiful scen ery, but faithfully portray scenes from its eaily history as related by pionecis, eontrnsted with the devel opment of today. The scenery shown depicts the or chard in bloom, the verdure-clad and snow-capped mountains, the new In completed Siskiyou gnide, the paved Pacific highway, the cities of Ash laud and Medford, the Rogue river, its cascades and gorges, Mill creek and Par creek falls, ami the countless vistas that open on every side in the Itogito Hiver valley. The placer mining scenes at the Sterling mine are probably thu fitt est pictures of placer mining ever shown. They are contrasted with the primitive methods of the days of ' 10. Camping and hunting scenes are shown, while the fishing scenes, on the Rogue give a good idea of the spoil of tly fishing. Orchard scenes are numerous, while detnils of social life'ni the valley are well patronized. The Medford Community dav par ade is shown ami the Ashland Com munity labor on scenic boulevard is also portrayed. Sports and cxcicise by school children are depicted, in cluding the open-nir production of "Midsummer Night's Dream," by the pupils of Koosovflt school. (lliuipsiM of busy dii.VH on Ashland and Med ford streets are also set forth. (Ilimpses of social life show a swimming party at u private swim ming lank tit a (told Hill orchard, ten uis mid golf mutches at the Medford Country club, uiitoimiliile drives and a fairy ilaneo ut u .Medford country home. The scenario cuds with the chief dancer fading into silhouette as the words "Come to .lackson County" graduully emerge in the background. Throughout the scemuio runs u pleasing thread of. comedy and ro mance that adds gicatlv to the at tractiveness ol the pictures, which mo most artistically arranged. When it is considered that this is the Ins! attempt, both ot the photographcr nnil actors, the icsult is temurkuhle und shows that Medford possesses genius for movie pioductions as well as in inaiiv other lines, The pictures will be shown agaiii this alteiuooii ami evening at the Page, and no oil hoiild ims seeing them.
