ZINC INDUSTRY
IN PECULIAR SHAPE

The zinc industry has worked itself
into a situation that is unparalleled IN
the memory of twenty years, and IS
likely to be of important effect upon
the market for the metal. Briefly
stated, there isalready a shortage of
the metal in Europe and there is pros
stated, there is already a shortage of
in America. The causes leading to
these conditions are different. 1t is
useless to summarize their nature and
devote some consideration to the
probable results, says the Engineering
and Mining Journal.
In the United States a chronic con-
dition during the last twenty years
has been a surplus of smelling capaci-
ty, a condition that is almost inherent
to all branches of metallurgical in
dustry. We have witnessed one radi-
cal change in zinc smelling, viz, the
virtual abandonment of the old Bel
gian system in Kansas and Missouri
about 1900-1901, when the natural gas
of lola and other places began to nc
extensively used for fuel, but this
change created no disturbance in gen
eral commercial conditions. In fact,
it was contributory to the enlargement
of smelling capacity, the natural-gas
smelteries being built with much larg-
er furnace units and larger aggregate
capacity than formerly, while those of
the old coal smelteries that were kept
in good repair could be, and were put
into temporary operation when market
conditions rendered that profitable.
The eventual failure of the supply
Of natural gas in Kansas and the
probable transfer of the zinc smelling
Industry to Illinois were early pointed
out, and these prospects were r%ecogniz-
ed by many engaged in zince smelling.
There has been a noteworthy con
struction of new works in Illinois, but
by no mean enough, and, as often
the case in such matters, the impend-
ing situation comes as more or less of
a surprise.
The supply of natural gas in Kansas
has been waning for several years, but
has been eked out by new drilling, and
now and then by the discovery of
small outlying pools, 1t appears how
ever, that the supply at lola will
probably give out this winter, while
at some other smelling points in Kan
sas the situation is critical, and con-
tinuance of gas supply is anticipated
for only two or three years. 1t is

VERY pIscoURAGiNG.

1t must be discouraging to the
management of the opera house to
bill high-class attraction like
Monte Cristo," with a splendid cast,
the gentleman playing the leading
role being a genuine star, and then
draw as poor an audience as was pre-
sent Saturday and Sunday evenings.
Saturday evening the attendance was
half what it should have been and
on Sunday evening the empty chairs
could have been counted in rows.
Those who saw the play during the
two nights engagement in this city,
pronounced it by far the best pre-
sentation of this fascinating drama
they had ever seen. Benjamin H.
Vernon, who played the stellar role
as Monte Cristo, is an actor of sup
erior ability and gave strong evidence
of this in his able portrayal of the
character. Mr.. Vernon's training for
the stage received a polished finish
while he was a member of the Rich
ard Mansfield troupe, he travelling
with the famous actor several sea
sons. Local interest attaches to Mr.
Vernon and his appearance here wher
it is stated that the gentleman some
years ago was with Mansfield wher
c. H. Geldert, who is mining in Gil
pin county, was connected with the
