CENSUS OF
BASER METALS.
Costs in Smelling Plants
Are Very High.
STRIDES IN COPPER INDUSTRY.
In Spite of Enormous Capital Re-
Tuired To Establish Smelling
Plants the Industry Has Kept
Close Pace with Others in the
General Progress.

The Census Bureau issued report yes
terday on the smelling and refining of
lead copper. and zinc. which shows a
capital of sl39, 9,35413S invested in the III
establishments In the United States. This
sum represent the value OF land ma
chinery, etc, and the live capital utilized,
but does not include the capital stock Of
any OF the corporations.
The report says that an analysis Of
these results and comparison with the
total for other manufacturing industries
Will disclose the fact that the cost of ma
terials for a stated value of product is
much greater than is generally found in
other manufacturing industries: also that
the number of wage earners and wages
paid are much smaller propOrtionately.
This is true. ii is stated. OF all indus
tries, including petroleum refining in
which the line OF demarcaton between the
mining and manufacture is difficult to de-
fine.
Electricity and Copper.
The report says that it can be stated
with certainty that the three branches of
industry have kept pace with the general
growth of manufacturing industries.
Especially is this the case in copper
smelling and refining, which has made re-
markabie progress, due largely to the in
creased use of the metal in the electrical
industry and the discovery of new sources
of ore
The lead product of 1889 amounted to
1872 g6T short tons Of refined lead as COM
pared with 90, 800 in 1899. an increase of
Coz per cent The production of lead for
the year 1898 was the largest in the
history of the industry.
The industry had an invested capital
of S72. 1iS ,9SS2 in 1899. while its products
we're valued at $40, i66 ,3Oi The practice
of using lead as a carrier for the preci-
Gus metals. and thus extracting them
more cheaply than by the older methods,
largely increased the quantity of the
precious metal products. The value OF
the gold and silver amounted to $3.50, ,2O5,-
375, or 74.2 per cent of the total.
Copper Production Record.
The production Of copper in the United
States during the year 1899 was the
larges. in the history OF the industry.
The rapid increase in production dates
from 1879, when the annual product
amounted to $4,000 long tons. 1t increased
to 269, ,Ol6 long tons in 1899.
The zinc smelling industry. the re-
port SAYS, has grown very rapidly in re-
cent years. an almost constant annual in
