October 1939 THE SMAN MAGAZINE ANOTHER GOLD PRODUCTION RECORD Vol. IV No. 4 Production of the Marsman-managed properties for September established a new high, with five of the mines registering substantial gains in output. Total production of the seven lode and one placer operations for the past month amounted to Pl,730,315.39, as compared with Pl,618,866.33 for August. The increase in production, in spite of the handling of a smaller tonnage, was brought about by the generally higher grade of ore milled during the month. Coco Grove registered the most substantial gain in output, having recovered a total of P301,884.34 from the dredging of 306,170 cubic yards of gravel during September. August production was only P252,346.32. This substantial rise was due to the fact that the dredges during the month moved over richer sections of the property. Itogon likewise registered a considerable increase in production, having recovered a total of P395,464.12 from the milling of 28,628 tons of ore. August production amounted to P352,725.25.

Strong, director of the Mambulao-Paracale Mine Safety Association, show. Mr. Strong, formerly on the San Mauricio staff, is organizing safety work in the district along the lines followed in the Baguio district, with outstanding success. The newest member of the Association is the Malaguit Mining Project, an Elizalde & Co. property. This operation has a fine safety record, with but one lost-time accident to an employee from January 1 to October 1, 1939, and only six days lost time. The other members of the Safety Association are San Mauricio, United Paracale, Santa Rosa, North Camarines, Paracale Gumaus, Mambulao Consolidated, Paracale National, Paracale Gold, and Santa Barbara Mining Companies, and the Philippine Smelting Company. Harry L. Barr, general superintendent of San Mauricio, is president of the Association.
