The experiments, which have been ex- tended over a period of six months, have, according to the physiclans, made practi- cable a new system of bleeding and sub- stitution of salt solutions for persons suf- fering from pneumonia, typhoid, malarial fevers, peritonitis, acute .and chronic Bright's disease and dll*heart affections resulting from the last named complaint.

The final test was made on a dog from which % per cent of the blood had been withdrawn. A needle connected with a salt water apparatus containing a 2 per cent solution was in- serted in the jugular vein, and a second needle inserted in the junction of the large veins lying close to the heart.

The Director of the Mint in his prelim- inary estimate of the production of gold | and sflver in the United States for the year 190 affords a b s for interesting comparisons. The agzregate of gold is es- timated to be 3, fine ounces, the | value being $79,322,281, and the silver out- | put is placed at 59,630,542 ounces, valued at | $26,262,431, on the basls of the approximate | average price of 61 cents per ounce for the | year. The estimates for. Californla coin- | cide within a few dollars with those pre- viously given out by Superintendent Leach and Statistician Charles G. Yale of | the branch mint in this city, the figures | being: Gold, $14,877,200; silver, $556,808, ap- quantity reported to have been produced, | Colorado is credited with $29,500,000 in gold | values for 1900, Montana $5,126,615, Nevada | 82,250,000, Oregon $1.175.762, South Dakota $6.617.676, Utah $4,237,726, Arizona $3,500,000, Alaska $7,771,000 and Washington $326 872, ¥T'he greatest silver producer is Colorado, with Montana second, Utah third and Ari- | zona fourth. Colorado’s silver product was 20,202000 ounces, Montana’s 16,750,000, Utah's 9,600,000 The Pacific Coast holds its own as a gold producer. The total for Alaska, Ari- sona, California, Oregon, Utah and Wash- ington is $31,888,561. The falling off in the o?d production of California from $15,336,- 1 031 in 1899 to $14,337,200 in 1900 is.attributed | to the lack of .water.. The outlook for | water for the coming year, owing to the huge deposits of snow that has just fallen in the mountains, is good. The extension of the work of the dredgers, which are estimated to have an output’ of $1,000,000 | for the year just closed, will also help to | swing the figures back in the right direc- tion. Several new plants will also be pro- dycing the yellow metal. This is the perfod when mining statistics abound. Crip| Creek is the theme of | some of the ntxlntlclans. The Daily Min- ing Record makes the claim that the dis- | tifet produced 9256087 last year. . The past week rounded out the tenth year of the existence of the camp. The Mining Record says: During tho decade the mines have produced $95.240,250, . and have paid public dividends amounting to $1%,630,975 37, while about 32,000,000 has been carried out by ‘the successful leaser, | and $5,000,000 remains in the treasuties of the pleading mining stock companies as cash assets available for future dividends.

The remaining $20,000,000 . has installation of heavy plants o conducting of extensive mini in meeting the other items of cident to mining. Some additional facts are suppli by the Toronto Mail and Empire cgrnxc:gmn'g the deal in coal mines which Sir William Van Horne and his assoclates have made in the Oknnnfnn district, in the interior of British Col bia. The comfuny they have organized has been capitalized at $4,- 000,000.

The Peacock group of copper mines In the Lava Bed mining district of San Ber- pardino County, eight miles south of Lavic station on the Santa Fe, has been sold to an Eastern syndicate. Develop- ment work will soon begin. The company will put up a fifty-ton concentrating plant and will run a 600-foot tunnel to intersect work that has already been done. The former owners worked the property abour four years. The group comprises the Tip- Top, Kenton, Tip-Top extension, Annex and Summit mining claims, two lime claims, Don Carlos and William, which were located with the view to using lime as a flux In smelting, and also a mill site. The Southwestern Miners' Assoclation is trying to build up a bureau of informa- tion concerning the mining industry of the Southwest. A strong effort is belng | made to bring together mine owners who need men and miners work. According to the Redding Searchlight, there is a good prospect for the location of a smelter in the Callahans mining dis- trict In Siskiyou County during the pres- ent year. ‘“The miners In Siskiyou County.” so zays the Scott Valley Advance, “are com- plaining of having too much water for resent use. A great amount of damage as been done to several new ditches.’” The Redding Free Press tells of activity in filing mining location notices in Shasta County. County Recorder Lowden re- ceived over thirty filings one day. The filings were for Buckeye, French Gulch, who are out of Chumtown, Centerville, South Fork, Shasta, Old Diggings, Backbone and how- er Springs district Tke Philadelphia Commercial List, speaking of the tabulated statements con- cerning the production of the mines of the Uplted States, calls attention to the changes that have taken place in the pro- duction of various products. It says: The value of pigiron In 1890 was $151,000,000, in 1899 $245,000,00. That of copper has risen from $3,000,000 ten years ago to §14,000,000 in 1899, Zino from $5,000,000 to $13,000. Aluminum from $01,000 in 1500 to $1,700,000. Bituminous coal, the value of which was $110,000,000 1590, was $167,000,000 in 18%9. And so we might continue down the list of structural materials bricks, cements, etc., chemicgls, plgments an sixty different products enumerated as the mineral products of the United States. Thelr infinite variety and character cannot but im- press the ler with the vast and wonderful resources of this country. John Byrne, inspector of mines in Mon- tana, has submitted a report for the year 1 This shows that there are 13,000 men employed in the State as miners, an increase of 1000 over the year 189. With the report is a statement concerning the depth of various mines in Butte and also the number of men engaloyed by each. The Anaconda employs 83 men and heads the list. No mine in the district is dowa more than 2200 feet. The Anaconda is down 1800 feet. Twenty mines are less than 1000 feet deep and half this number are under 500 feet. Ten thousand miners are employed in the Rutte district. Cop- er {s now produced in Beaverhead, Deer odge, Granite, Jefferson and Madison counties, and Lewls, Clarke and Teton counties promise to become important in this line, but Silver Bow is distinctively the copper counéy of the State. C. ¥, Owen, State Inspector 8f Coal Mines in Washington, reports that returns from different coal mines in the State ndicate that this year's Putput wiil resch ,250,000 tons, as against 1,987,000 last yea.. He estimates that there are 500 more men employed in coul mining this year than last, when some 3300 were on the pay rolls. 0 new_coal mines have been opened, one at Leary and the other at Fairfax. Besides these five other mines are now being opened. The year has been a record breaker in the matter of devel- cpment, one of the princival features be- ing the prospecting of vast coal areas in Lewis Cfunty.

PSS S The Los Angeles Oil Exchange is no more. The Los Angeles Stock Exchange has taken its place. The old organization under the new name will deal in the fu- | ture in mining and bank stgcks in addi- | tion to oil stocks. This change has been anticipated for some time. No unlisted stocks are to be called on the floor, al- though trading in such securities may go on among members i an informal! man- | ner, without any record of the transac- | tions being made. Only a single member of any firm or corporation will be permit- ted hereafter to do any trading in the exchange at one time. Such is the gen- | eral statement of the facts made by the Los Angeles Express. It Is not long since there were two oil exchanges in full | swing in Los Angeles. The fact was that | the thing was overdone. Unlisted stocks, | which were long the bone of contention. | between the two exchanges, have now | been given a back seat. There is a busi- | ness moral in this that & man by in an automoblile can see. On all trans- actions in the Los Angeles Stock Ex- change of the value of 3 cents or over | a commission of one per cent on the value | of the transaction may be charged. The output of the Fullerton fields dur- ing the month of December is estimated to have been 51,000 barrels. This district, together with other southern districts, still struggles with the price to be paid on oil contracts. Better prices have been offered than were expected two months ago, but there are no large 191 contracts yet to place on record. There appears to have been a mistaken notion abroad that the “‘scrippers” would not be a very formidable factor in the fu- ture of the ofl lndus;ry of California. This impression seems likely to be dis- sipated soon. There is a lively lobby at Washington hard at work. One of their | first points of attack is the mineral lands | bill, whiclr'has been advocated for a long | time by the California Miners' Associa- tion. This fact binds the interests of the mineral claimants to ofl land and the | miners for metals closer together in in- | terest than before. The oil miners and all other miners whatsoever in the State have an equal interest In foiling the | jScrippers.” The ~seriggers” believe, 30 | the news comes from W it they can hold up the mineral lands bill, which would injure their chances for tak- ing up oll lands with forest reserve serip, they will be able to get a new case before the Interior Department, with a possible prospect of having Commissioner Her- mann’s decision reversed. The Interests at stake are too great to warrant a hope of speedy settlement of the pending con- troversy. An interesting expeiiment has been suc- cessful in the sngeles fleld. There is an arteslan water belt In the oil fleld about Western avenue and the water has caused no end of trouble to the well drfllers. Water flowed a 10-inch stream above casings that projected fifteen feet above the surface. e Cahuen Oil Fotkol Company solved the difficulty. eum came up with the water, showing that the but the problem was how to shut off the water.
