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.

OF LIFE IN VALLEY
Ureal credit is due A. C. 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. Thev are well worth while.
