The average price for silver for the
year is stated at 60.9 cents an ounce
In lead, the preliminary figures df
the Survey show a small decline
1912 from the output of refined lead
de-sllverized. and soft, from foreign
and domestic ores, being 480,965 short
tons la 1912" and 486,976 short tons in
1911. The value of the 1912 output
is stated at $43'286,850. The domestic
production of lead ore is stated to be
ihmit 20.000 tons creater than the
1911 output of 441,187 short tons.
In the zinc industry the figures show
a phenomenal activity. The produc
tion,of primary spelter in 1912. is esti
mated at 323,961 short tons from do
meetle ores and 14,669 tons from for
eigner?, a total of 338,630 tons, val
ued at $46,731,000, compared to
52S tons, valued at $32,663,964 in 1911
Quicksilver production in 1912 shows
a heavy gain over the 1911 produc
tlon, which Itself showed a great gain
over that of 1910. The 1912 figures
'are stated at 25,147 flasks of 75 pounds
oacK worth $42.04 a pound, or $1,057

The production of iron ore in 1912
was, according to Survey estimates
from 25 to 32 per cent greater than
that of 1911, the figure? for 1912 being
between 54,500,000 and 57,500,000 long
tons, . against 43,550,633 tons in 1911
It Is believed possible that the record
figure of 66,889,734 tons produced in
1910 may be exceeded by the 1912 out-
The United States continued to lead
the world in petroleum production in
1912 in fact, produced more than al
the' rest of the world and is estimat
ed to have about maintained the tre
mendous record of 220,449,391 barrel
made in 1911. The Geological Sur
vey's estimate for 1912 is 220,200,000
barrels. The estimated value of the
1912 output, however, is much great
er than that of 1911, the figures being
$150,000,000, against $134,144,752.

THE "SIMPLE INAUGURATION"
While President-elect Wilson is
pleading for simplicity in inauguration
plans, the impression is
throughout the country that the com-
ing event on March 4 will be the most
resplendent affair in the history of
the national capital. And so it will!
The, simple ceremony which will offi
cially induct Mr. Wilson and Mr.
Marshall into office will be plain
enough, but with the growth and de-
velopment of the country has come 1

tary organizations, and every one of
these organizations that can raise the
dust is going to Washington, and all
their brass buttons and tinseled drap
eries are being burnished for the oc

as simple as he pleases, and the, com
mittee is trying to accommodate him,
but so, far as the thousands of visiting
