PLANT QUADRUPLED.

Denver.-The United States Zinc
Fire Clay Company of this city have
established monopoly of the zinc
dust manufacturing industry in the
United States, and now bid fair to
competitor, from the market in this
country completely.
This unique industry will, within a
year, according to officers of the fire
clay company, which is the sole sell
ing agent, be bringing 100000 annual
ly into Denver. The local company
has long time contract with the zinc
company to handle it's entire zinc dust
product, and the demand has become
SO great that it is imperative that the
Pueblo plant be trebled or quadrup'ed
at once.
Zinc dust is most essential ingre-
dent in the reduction og gold ores by
the cyanide process. Every reduction
plant using cyanidation must have it,
and this process is becoming increas-
ingly popular, especially in the handl-
ing of low grade ores. Mining has
resolved itself into a business of get
ting the money out of the mountains
of low grade ores that abound in Col
orado and other western states, in
contra-distinction to the old-time meth
cd of looking only for high-grade or
smelling" ores.
The Pueblo plant is manufacturing
and the Denver company is distribut-
ing at present 500 pounds per day, re-
ceiving an average of 61k cents per
pound for the product. The dust has
been up to this time a by-product OF
zinc manufacture, but it will in the

express purpose Of making it.
The West has been 80 far the sole
market for zinc dust Now, however,
manufacturing concerns of various
kinds in the East have discov.
cred uses for the metal in this
form, and orders have been placed
from New Jersey. Cleveland. O., and
Griselli. Ind. Orders which the sell.
ing company received from Arizona,
California, Utah, Nevada, Idaho and
Colorado are now waiting to be
filled,

ing Company of Lead, S. D., which op-
crates the biggest gold mine in the
world, is also negotiating for dust. SO
that it appears to the selling company

present one would. not be too big.
Heretofore the German product has
had practical monopoly in the Unit

THE MAN "HIGHER UP"

1TSHE sugar trust prosecution has closed in on Secretary Heike'
now, with others, on trial. Evidence given yesterday tended
to show knowledge of the weighing frauds. The trial is near
it's conclusion. and a verdict will soon be rendered, when the DOUBT
whether the prosecution is going TO reach any man higher up VIII
be resolved. Thus far only the small fry have been caught IN the
government net. The weighing frauds involve millions OF dollars
of customs tax, out of which the government was defrauded. Ac-
acknowledgement of fraud was made by the company by the resutu-
ton of about two millions of the money due the government, so
there is no question about the commission OF the crime. In the
trials previously held the evidence was so conclusive that the Jures
convicted. The recent confession of one of the convlcts is furthef
if any were needed. 1t is obvious that knowledge of
what was going on for years was not confined to the undefrnss
and that they were only the instruments of a system higher up
The issue of the present trial will probably determine whether
the prosecution is ever going to reach higher up.
