the discussion Of the zinc ores that
have been discovered on the Pacific
Coast. In part it says:
Throughout the Rocky Mountain region and
the Pacific Coast zinc ores occur IN greater

portion OF zinc ores exists sulphide, and is
combined with the sulphides Of iron, copper
ana lead. These ores, where the several sui
phides occur in finely disseminated crystals,
Intimately intermixed were, up to a short
time ago. undesirable, the zinc was not
wanted by the Head smelter, and the lead and
lrUn wanted bN the zinc emelter The
electro magnetic separator, however, has made
clean separation Of these several sulphides
possible, and as result the waste dumps OF
several districts suddenly became valuable for
their zinc, lead and copper contents besides
az once rendering profitable a large volume Of
ore IN place in the mines. Under the new
conditions and the stimulus given the output

become an important factor in the mineral
