Zinc Mining Is Rapidly Becoming

but are generally found at depth in
mines.
The southwestern prospector can do
nothing more profitable than g
familiarize himself with the oxidized
ores of zinc, such as calamine,
SmithOnsite, or dry bone zinc ores For
these are the only classes he is likely
to encounter in his search over the
limestone hills. The prospectors and
miners from the zinc and lead regions
of Missouri, Kansas Arkansas and
Oklahoma have a great advantage
over the western prospector. from their
experience in this line. 1t was the
Joplin miners who recently found the
immense bodies of zinc carbonates in
the old mines of Leadville which have
converted it into a veritable Zinc
vile, which ships over 1000 tons OF
this ore daily. The same has proved
true in the old mines OF Santa Eula-
liza and around San Sostenes, in
eastern Chihuahua.
Zinc in the Trans-PecOs.
Large deposits of zinc carbOnates
have been found in Trans-Pecos, Texas,
in the Tres Hermanas. Cooks Peak.
the Magdalenas, the western slope of
the Black Range, the Victoria, the
PelOncillo, and Hachita mountains OF
New Mexico These discoveries are
generally made in localities where lead
ores abound and are rapidly assuming
commercial Importance.
The pleasing feature of zinc mining
is the fact that there is great com
petition among rival zinc ore buyers.
Fortunately no big zinc trust has been
formed. Scores of scouts are in the
field bidding for these ores. The zinc
mine owner is as independent as
Kansas farmer. All he has to do is
to pile his ore OF the dump and let
it be known when a dozen rival buy
ers will be after him. They will buy
his ore and prepay his freight, and
even advance him a good payment on
the spot.

the intention of an early construction
of a tramway to carry the ores from
the Hartford Arizona mines from the

be loaded into wagons and hauled
either to Hereford, or to a point on
the new branch of the Z. P. & S w,
now building to Fort Huachuca, most
likely to the last named point.
President Henry Hamburg is now
in Chicago and upon his return it is
reported that things will hum.

an early visit of the directors of the
Butte and Arizona mines is expected
with the intention of looking over the

" HERE Is no branch Of mining

Zinc mining is comparatively a new
industry in the southwest. Ten years
ago the presence of zinc in a mine was
considered a calamity. Many a west
ern mine was closed down and aban-
doned for that reason. This was es-
pecially true when it was associated
with lead GRE, because the lead
smelters charged a heavy penalty for
this base despised ore. But now this
is all changed. Not only are the
but also the mixed lead and silver or
complex ores are sought by the zinc
smelters.
Much Finch In Southwest.
There is scarcely a mineralized range
in the southwest but contains zinc. 1t
is a peculiarly difficult ore for the
average western prospector to find.
In most cases if il occurs at the sur
face it is in the form Of carbonates
or silicates, and is in the form of the
original rock which it has replaced.
For instance it may resemble a white
chalk, the only distinguishing diff
ference being its greater weight. 1t
may look like honey combed quartz,
brown spar, old bones, or pearls, or
garnet or resin. OF even banded rhyo-
lite. In fact it may resemble shells,
fossils OF shales, and take a great va
'iety of forms. 1t often resembles
carbonate of lead.
In the sulphide form it Is more
easily recognizable, such as spalerite,
black jack. resin blende. etc. But the
sulphides rarely occur on the surface,
