PENALTIES ON ORES
RECEIVE ATTENTION
Tribune's Article on Lead and
Zinc Situation Is
Discussed.

Early in June an article appeared on
this page in regard to the fact that ore
once impossible OF shipment as lead
product was penalized for zinc, and that
its present-day shipment as zinc ore
finds that the smelters penalize the
shippers for the once marketable lead
content. The statement was made that
the smelters had the shipper coming
and going" The Metallurgical and
Chemical Engineering Journal OF New
York saw this article, and makes the
following editorial reply in Its July is-
sue,
Prices and penalties usually have been
the bone Of contention between the pro-
ducers and smeters OF mixed lead-zinc
ores The former are quite certain they
are being robbed and the latter are sure
they are paying all that the market and
the grade Of the ore will warrant What
ever right or merit there may be in the
customary. attitude OF the. producer,

United States. therefore. stood for hours
without a denial, 1t broke a market
that was too strong to be shaken by any
other method Of attack,
The attitude of the public towards the
coppers Is gradually changing. 1t is
beginning to realize that the advance in
metal prices Is the result of natural and
legitimate conditions and that copper
producing companies are now earning
from twice to five times the profits they
were last year. AS a matter OF fact the
cost OF producing the worlds copper is
between nine and a half and ten cents
a pound. Mining profits. therefore. have

Utah's Complaint Heard.

From Utah comes the plant that the
smelter catches the producer coming
and going" Formerly. when zinc was
an undesirable metal in the ores Of that
state, concentrating In high degree the
profitable lead ores. 1t formed the basis
OF penalty that was eNacted by the
lead smelters, During that period much
ore was left untouched which contained
a comparatively high percentage OF zinc
and little lead. Now. however. when the
demand for zinc has made these once
rejected ores desirable for zinc smelling.
the producer finds that the zinc smelter
exacts a penalty on the lead contained
therein. Hence the producer feels he
is caught coming and going"
Here are a few points that the pro-
ducer Of zinky lead ores, or leady zinc
ores. should remember. Metallurgical
processes give the best results and are
most prohtably operated when applied to
ores that are most amenable to them,
Zinc smelling, and lead smelling: are two
metal Is proftably recovered In the
undesirable to the lead smelter and vice
versa. Zinc in a lead blast furnace
charge becomes a total loss, In addition
TO being a source Of trouble to the
metallurgical gist: while lead in a zinc
charge not only Is partly loss, but that
portion which Is recovered Is saved
against the will Of the operator, con-
taminating the resulting spelter and ne
cessitating further refining. In either
case the percentage Of undesirable metal
In an ore must be reduced by mixing
the contaminated ore with others that
are free from the undesirable metal.
The Salt Lake tribune. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1890-current, 1912-07-05
Why Penalty Exacted.

Hence lead smelters usually exact a
penalty on each unit Of zinc over 10 per
cent. Before such ores can be smelted
they must be mixed with other zinc
free ores so that the resulting charge
Will contain from per cent to per cent
zinc. On the other hand. zinc smelters
lay penalty on each unit OF lead over
per cent. because the lead Is detri-
mental to the process, and a charge must
be mixed TO contain only from 2 per cent
TO per cent lead.
1t Is apparent. then. that metallurgIca1
conditions determine In q large measure
the basis of payment for zinc-lead ores
and as long as producers persist In ship
ping undesirable ores they cannot ex-
pect the best treatment. They might do
better to introduce the Intern ediate
step OF concentration, for II an ore con
tains enough OF either metal to make II
Objectionable to either smelter II prob
ably is worth separating into two de-
sirable products which would command
better rates at the different smelters
In this way the producer would not only
avoid penalties, but actually get higher
rates of payment for both metals. II the
ore, does not carry enough Of the un-
Desirable metal to make II worth con-
centrating then the producer may NOT
Justly object to penalties. because the

Price High Enough.

had the support Of and was possibly
Planned by large producing interests may
that the mining companies are naturally
desirous OF getting the highest possible
price FOR their output, Producers gen.
orally. however, feel that the price Of
copper is high enough, that 1t has been
advancing too rapidly and that It will
be for the best interest OF the trade to
prevent a further rise, for the present
dency to check consumption by leading
consumers to substitute other metals and
materials for copper. They also encour-
age the subscription OF vast amounts OF
equipment Of new copper properties. In
a measure. therefore. high prices and
big profits bring new competitors into
the producing field.
this tends to withhold copper from the
market which is needed for consumption
The leading producing interests are de-
slrous OF supplying the world with all
the copper it needs at what is consid-
cred a fair profit Production is at the
high water mark and no effort is being
spared to further increase the output.
The consumptive demand. however. con-
siderably exceeds the supply, and unless
1t is checked by the level of prices al
ready prevailing. there's sure TO be an
terlzed the trade In 1905 and 1907.
It has been stated in these letters re-
peatedly that there are not enough mines
to supply the worlds growing demand
for copper. This fact has now become
so manifest that it is no longer questioned
by authorities. A painstaking investl-
gatlon of the situation will lead anyone
to the conclusion that the average price
Of copper must be much higher In the
coming ten years than 1t has been dur
Ing the past two or three decades.
The history OF the bear raid in the
London metal market on Monday suggests
strongly that 1t was planned by an op-
orator OF more than ordinary cleverness.
Reports OF hidden stocks OF copper in Eu-
rope and Africa had been overworked
and had ceased to be taken seriously

hough beaten two to one in the county cOnven-
ion, had a better than even break yesterday so
ar as the Fifth district is concerned and it is in
he Fifth district that the bulk of the Demo

The sop thrown to the anti-Jarrett men was

Imagination, be called desirable candidates.

Then the senatorial fight was in progress and

lg Alulis nomination without regard to the

The Fifth district right now is in a state of
olitical chaos so far as the Democrats are con-
hrned. More than dozen of the disgruntled
hti-Jarrett men walked out of the convention
bsterday and others stayed only to see that GER
hin nominations were made. These are not
