not thought serious, but it will be some
little time before he can jump over

Hon. X. Barrett of Galena, ILL.,,
contributes an interesting and in
structive article on zinc ores and
zinc mining TO the Galens Gazette
from which we make extracts.
"As the mining Of zinc ore in
this section Of the country 10 in.
creasing so rapidly, and the devsl-
opments already made show sc
conclusively that this is a very
rich zinc mining district, it may
be well to publish some facts in
regard to zinc and zinc mining that
are not generally known to those
who are interested in it. Aside
from the tillage aud cultivation
of the land, zinc mining 10 be.
coming by far the most important
industry, and its importance will
soon be much greater than it 10 al
present. The increase in the pro.
duction of Zinc for the last six
years has not averaged 10 per cent
year, but the consumption has
increased in the United States
over one hundred per cent during
the same time. The demand,
both in this country aud Europe,
is constantly increasing, and it ID
stated as q positive fact that il will
take many years for the increase
in production to equal the present
demands. Eighteen furnaces have
been added by shelters in Kansas,
Texas, and Colorado since 1901,
and it is not known where they
can obtain ore to supply them,
Zinc ore mining in Missouri, in.
significant in 1888, had grown to
immense importance in 1897. II
is very easy to sec that prices must
further advance, for the output OF
the zinc mines of Europe is stea.
Oily decreasing.

of the mining districts in Nilsson.

the price of ore averaged only t20i
