Antimony a By-Product.

While no antimony was produced in the United States last year from do- nestle ore, considerable quantity was saved in the form of antimonial lead, which is obtained at the smelters of precious metals in the course of their operations, and large quantities of antimonial alloys are recovered from secondary sources, such as scrap bearing and type metals, solder, and antimonial lead dresses. From anti monial lead of both domestic and foreign origin. but smelted in the United States, according to figures compiled by the United States Geolog- ical Survey, l,949 short tons of anti. mony were produced, while from old alloys. scrap, dross, etc.. 2.5O6 short tons of antimony were recovered.

Interest never ceases in investiga- tion of ancient knowledge and use of metals, as the early utilization of metals was an important step in the upward progress of civilization. The knowledge of gold dates back to un- known early ages. It was well known by the ancient Egyptians, and there are also evidences that they also made use of iron and lead. The latter they made use of in glazing pottery. The Chinese also used lead, it is thought as early as 2000 B. c. Lead was also mined at an early date by the Greeks and Romans.- Mining and Engineer ing World

The Disposal of Mine
 and Mill Refuse.

The common practice of dumping mine refuse and concentrator tailings into the rivers is growing unpopular, at least to the occupants of property and owners of water rights along these rivers, to whom the refuse carried along by the water constitutes nui- sance. Flood waters carrying mineral refuse when overhowing agricultural land may be the cause of untold dam age.
 With increasing population in min ing regions, the question of the dis posal of mine and mill refuse where it will not become source of annoyance and damage to others is one that must be considered Without regard to others. mining companies could often make good use of their tailing by re turning them to the mine as filling for abandoned workings. Such use can be made of both coarse and fine waste. It's use as filling will be more etfectual than timbers and result in great saving of the latter.
 A similar practice has long been in use at coal mines, particularly in the anthracite region of Pennsylvania, for disposing of the enormous piles of culm that have accumulated there, and where the problem of etfectually supporting the roofs of abandoned mine workings has become serious, especially where these workings ex. tend under valuable city property Mining and Engineering World.

Wide Use of Arsenic.

The United States produced more white arsenic in 1912 than ever before, the output for last year being 3,l4l short tons, valued at l90, 757$, against 3,l32 short tons, valued at 73,4OSS, in 1911, according to report on the sub- ject by Frank l.. Hess, just issued by the United States Geological Survey. The imports in 1912 were also the larg- est on record, amounting to more than 6, l56 short tons, valued at IFS, 74lS, against 4,096 short tons, valued at 247,- 323S, Tn 1911. The only white arsenic produced in the United States was that made as a by-product of smelling operations.
 White arsenic is used principally in glass making and in the manufacture of Paris green, lead arsenate, and other insecticides. With the growth of horticulture and the necessarily greater attention paid in killing insect pests the demand for arsenical insec- ticides has grown immensely. Expert ments conducted by a number of the State agricultural experiment stations have demonstrated the value of arsenic when combined with llme as an effective spray against insect pests, while arsenic solutions have been found of considerable value when used as dip for cattle and sheep.
 A number of arsenic salts and oxides are used incidentally, among them the bromide, iodlde, trisul phide, trioXide, sodium arsenate, and potassium arsen. ate. Disulphide of arsenic, both natural and artificial, is used as a paint pigment; in calico printing and dyeing: in tanning: and, as it burns with an intense white light, in fire. works. Orpi,lent, the trisulphide, called also kings yellow, is used as a paint pigment and as reducing agent in chemical work. The trioXide is used in paints; for preserving hides leather industry: as an antiseptic: anC in killing animal pests. Sodium arsenate is used in dyeing with turkey red oil and in printing fabrics; the arsenite in making soaps for use or skins and hides. Potassium arsenite is used as reducer for silver in th' manufacture of mirrors.

Last Payment Made on Heating
 Mines.

Advices reaching Clifton are to the effect that the Heating Copper Syndi- cate, of London, England, has made the final payment to the heirs of Wm. Heating concerning the Heating mines near Metcalfe, and that the syndicate will immediately enter upon a cam paign of increased production.
 For some time this syndicate has been connected with the mines orig. finally discovered by Wm Heating, one of the old time prospectors of this sec tion, and has been engaged in copper production. although not upon scale as large as that of future operation.
 Wm. Heating spent many years of his life in this section, having pros- pected for years in the various copper districts of Arizona, and at last was rewarded with the discovery of the famous Heating mine, which i, adja- cent 10 the Coronado mine of the Ari- zona Copper company, and which was SolO Uo ACulibS NOppCi Syndicate, of London, England. This corporation took over the properties near Metcalf. and assumed certain in- debtedness to the heirs of Heating, all of whom reside in England, and on the continent For some time the con- pany has been engaged in copper pro- duction at the mines, shipping the ore to the Shannon shelter at this place. It is said that the mines contain both high and low grade ore in large quan- titles.
 It is understood that the Heating Copper syndicate is possessed of heavy capital, and is thoroughly equipped for satisfactory development, a cam- paign of which will soon be started.- Clifton Copper Era.
