The United States geological survey
has prepared preliminary statement OF
the lead and zinc mining Industry in lall.
This statement Is compiled by c. Z. Sic
benthal from the most relia bic sources
available al this time IL appears prob
able that the mine production OF domestic
lead in ore in 1911 made gain Of be-
tween 1000 and 10000 tons over the
j95,&lS tons produced III 1910 which,
when compared with the estimated in
crease in the smelter production of do
nestle lead, 55.9ST tons, Indicates that do
nestle lead ore stocks al the smclters
We're considerably depleted during the
year, This is emphasized by the fact
that a large stock of lead ore was aC-
cumulated at western lead smelter now
under construction.
1t is believed that the mine produc-
ton of recoverable zinc In ore was about
10000 tons greater than the output of
.1l2 tons IN 1910. The increase in the
apparently 9l.32S tons. The quantity OF
zinc recovered as zinc pigments Is not
known at this time, SO that conclusions
as 10 zinc ore stocks can not be drawn,
of over 10 per cent over. that OF 1910
and was the greatest since 1905. This
output was derived almost entirely from
two mines al Gilmore. Lemhl county
and from ten mines in the Cocur d'Alene
region. The zinc production gained near
ly 10 per cent over that OF the preced-
was the only important zinc producer,
and 1t yet remains the largest Other
producers in 1911 were the Surprise mine
at Wardner, the Monarch and Paragon
mines at Murray! and the Morning mine
at Mullan. the last recovering zinc by a
flotation process. 4 new mill was built
at the Monarch mine.
Utah had an increased production OF
lead, amounting 10 gain Of per cent.
the greater par, of which should he cred
tied TO the Park City district The Bing-
ham district produced about the same
quantity OF lead ore as In the previous
year. but The Tintc district reu of
somewhat The zine output was de-
creased nearly 90 per cent from thet of
1910 owing TO smaller zinc shipments from
Beaver county and the Park City dis
trict.
The lead production OF Arizona more
than trebleo that of 1910 and was much
larger than ever before. The increase
Is due IN part 10 the increa sed output of
the warren district OF Cochisc county,
and also 10 larger production in Mo-
h5Nc county. The zinc output showed y
slight gain and was derived altogether
from Mohave county, principally from the |
