Western Lead Mines.

The large falling off in the produc-
ton OF the Western lead mines is a
suggestive fact. Not many years
ago these mines nearly supplied the
whole country. Now the West alone
consumes for various manufacturing
purposes fifteen thousand tons, while
it produces scarcely eleven thousand.
The whole amount consumed last
year in the United States was more
than fifty thousand tons, seventy. five
per cent. of which was imported
The decreased production of the
mines of Wisconsin, Illinois, Iowa,
Missouri and Arkansas, is doubtless
due to the superior attractions and
profits offered in the gold mines of
the far West. Another cause is the
virtual exhaustion of the surface,
beds, or lodes within easy reach OF
the surface, in the richest mining re-
gions. Most Of the remaining ore is
only obtained by sinking very deep
shafts, process which requires ex-
pensive machinery and great capital.
