JOURNAL MINERAINGICAL SOCIETY OF AMERICA 407
The State Bureau of Mines has recently issued Bulletin 7, The Metal Resourcesof New Mexico and their Economic Features, by S. G. Lasky and T. P. Wootton.The bulletin contains 178 pages and is illustrated by tables and maps showing theIocation of the various districts.
The total metal production of New Mexico from the advent of the Spaniardsto 1930 is stated by the authors to have a value of 419 million dollars. About 80per cent of this amount is accounted for by mining operations from 1904 to 1930.Since the beginning of mining the value of the various metals produced has been asfollows: Copper $247,637,000, silver 951,645,000, gold $45,997,000, zinc $rt4,010,000,lead $18,140,000, iron ore $7,919,000, managanese and manganiferous ores $2,293,-000, molybdenum, $1,789,000, and tungsten ore $125,000.
In Bulletin 7 all available information of value to those interested in mining inNew Mexico has been assembled. All of the known mining districts are describedbriefly with attention to history, production and geology. The uses of the metalsand the marketing of the difierent ores are described. The section on the ec<inomicfeatures of prospecting, mining and milling contains important data on costs ofconstruction and operation and should be of special value to those who are giving"thought to acquiring or developing mining properties.
At a meeting of representative retail jewelers held in Chicago a permanent or-ganization known as the Gemological Institute of America was established. OneoI the main objects of this Society is to furnish adequate scientific instruction tothose responsible for the sale of gems and gem materials A constitution was adopted,plans formulated for the future and officers elected to the various boards and com-mittees. Mr. Robert M. Shipley of Los Angeles, California, was elected president ofthe Institute.
Dr. Hermann Michel was elected Director of the Natural History Museum atVienna. He will retain however the supervision of the work in mineralogy andpetrography.
.Dr. Bruno von Freyberg has accepted the professorship of geology and mineral-ogy at the University of Brlangen as successor of Dr. Hans Lenk.
Dr. Frank R. Van Horn, Secretary of the Mineralogical Society of America,and Professor of geology and mineralogy at Case School of Applied Science, Cleve-land, Ohio, died Aug. 1, 1933, at the age of sixty-one years.
