The war, says The Mining Journal," exercised a very mark» fed influence on the success of | Chinese mining undertaking last year, and the important part which the mining and reduction of antimony ores represents in that country, and the profits. made will doubtless stimulate the pursuit of the industry, which ia China has been bandicapped more by the the lack of ospital than any other circumstanc The output of metal, whether re- gulus, crude or refined, amounted to 2,988 tons, as compared with 19.3:9 t ns in the previous year, while ore smounted to 1,645 tons. against 4,842 to s. The increase is, perhaps, net so large as might be expected in "view of the izr mense increase in pries, indicated by the fact that the export duty on regulus, which before the war was Hk.
