In Belgium all but three or four Of the
zinc smelling plants lie between Ver-
viers and Liege or are strung along
the valley Of the .seuse between Liege
and Namur, and their industrial pros
poets can well be imagined. The zinc
smelters Of France lie outside Of the
territory where active military opera
tions are likely and SO will probably
suffer only from scarcity Of labor as
the employees are called to the colors
and from. arrangements Of transporta-

smelters in England. but those Of
Austria Hungary will. OF course, be
put out Of commission. Other small

cept as transportation is interrupted.
From these observations 1t can be
seen that the zinc smelling industry
Of Europe will be in a sadly democrat
lied condition while the war con-
tinues and for some time thereafter.
The following table shows the num-
Der of smelters in each European
country in 1910, the latest year for
which information is available, the
production for that year. and also for
comparison the production for 1913, in

ing an initial stage Of what may ulti-
mately grow to be serious invasion
Of private right in tho interest of the

raised in the attack on the constitu-

contention that 1t is class legislation
because 1t discrimniates between male
and female applicants for marriage IL
censes In that females are not required
to present health certificates while the
males are. On this point the court
says in part:
An argument is made that the law
Is void because the classification Is un-
reasonable. arbitrary and discrimina-
tory in that 1t singles out men about
to marry and makes a class Of them;
there being, as It is argued, no sub
stantial differences which suggest the
propriety Of different legislative treat
ment bewteen men who are about to
marry and women who are about to
marry. Theoretically the argument is
strong. Classification is not to be
condemned because there may be oc-
casional instances in which It does not
mt the situation; It Is proper II the
great mass Of situations to which the
law applies Justify the formation of
class and the application Of some spe-
cial or different legislative provisions
to that class. Classification can rarely
be fundamentally exact. The question
Is not whether in some individual in
stance there is any perceptible dis
tinction. but whether there are char

the other and which justify the DIFF

The largest increase in sight comes
as result of the application Of ore
flotation concentration in Montana,
but an increase due to the same cause
Is to be looked for in Idaho and pos
sibly in Utah. In Montana the Butte
|& Superior mill is nov producing at
the rate of $4,000 tons of zinc year,
and the new Pilot Butte mill, which
has just gone into operation, should
raise the state output to 10000 tons
year, or II, as planned, another unit
Is added to this mill the state output
may rise to 10000 tons and more by
1915. In Colorado the new zinc oxide
plant at Leadville is reported to be
purchasing IA per cent zinc carbonate
ore, as against minimum of about 20
per cent ore purchased by zinc smelt-
ers. As the Leadville carbonate ore is
not amenable to concentration this
means large increase in the available
zinc ore resources Of that region. An
other osurce Of zinc which will be
made available in the future is zinc
bearing copper ore. the zinc content of
which at present either makes the ore
unstable or, when the ore is smelted
for the copper, collects az flue and bag
house dusts for the recovery Of the
zinc from which there Is at present no
process. Much orc OF this

American Zine Should Find Psrman.
snt Market.
Recent statistics show a foreign
market for over 10000 tons Of zinc, of
which about $4,000 tons consists of
spelter in slabs and the remainder of
zinc sheets. The American zinc in
dustry should stand an excellent
chance to take over the trade in zinc
slabs and such part Of the trade in
zinc sheets as American zinc rolling
mills can furnish The trade in GAL
vanized iron sheets il dominated by
Great Britain, which controls 81 per
1850 - 49, <o<o1 a~Do,t <rodo L. H..
commodity with the four countries
concerned. In addition to over $1,000
tons Of spelter smclted in her own
plants, Great Britain in 1918 imported
$50, 900 tons, presumably used chiefly
in making her enormous output of
galvanized iron. It would seem that
any expansion in Great Britain's for
,eign trade either in spelter and zinc
sheets or in galvanized iron would en-
tail the Importation Of more spelter
from the United States. This country
has the opportunity, therefore to fur
nish the major part Of $4,000 tons of
spelter year as long as the war lasts,
together with whatever part of the
|spelter for the galvanized iron trade
LOT the southern continents and Asia it
lean acquire. The first demands will
naturally come from Great Britain,
and according to reports they have al
ready begun. With the end of the
war, however, the continental smelters
will begin to compete strongly for
that trade. The southern continents
and Asia are more likely. therefore. to
become steady outlets for our zinc
products, and by the time the war
closes American zinc should have OBJ
tanned permanent foothold in these
markets, sufficient to take care of the
surplus smelter capacity Of the United
States.
These calculations do not take into
account the increased exports of zinc
pigments that must come about, thus
absorbing some Of the domestic sur
plus zinc resources. Moreover the
United States imports each year from
continental Europe about $500 tons Of
zinc dust. This supply of zinc dust is
now cut Off, and the dust has already
greatly advanced in price. Zinc dust
is produced at two American smelters
and could easily be produced at 9TH
ers, so that no doubt the better prices
will result in the whole demand being
supplied from domestic sources, thus
absorbing another portion Of the sur
plus zinc ore.
