WASTE METAL is
WORTHS73000000
Wealth in Scrap Recovered in
the Various Processes
of Manufacture.

The value OF the secondary metals
exclusive of gold, silver, platinum, and
iron, recovered in the United States,
in 1913 was $72, 900, according to
J. p. Dunlop, of the United States geo.
logical survey. Even this large fig
ure is a decrease compared with 1872,
when the value was s77.396.000.
The term Secondary is applied to
metals recovered from scrap metal,
sweepings, skimmings, Dresses, etc,
as distinguished from primary met
ais" which are derived from ore. but
without implication that the secondary
metals are of inferior quality. The
survey figures reveal only in a partial
way the vast extent of the waste-ma-
terial industry. which yearly becomes
greater and better organized. The
value of old iron and steel refuse ex-
ceeds that of remelted brass, and the
value of old rubber and paper stock
amounts to many millions of dollars.
For a few purposes requiring espe-
cial purity of material il is necessary
TO employ primary or virgin pig metal,
but as a general rule secondary metals
can be used in whole or in part, and
most boundaries use them. Over 80
per cent of the refining and smelling of
dresses and scrap metals in the United
States is confined to the territory
east of st. Louis and north of Ohio
river.
The amount of secondary copper
Gncluding that ir brass) recovered in
1913 was 136,50O tons, being over %
per cent of the primary copper smelt ID
from domestic ores during the year.
The secondary lead recovered
amounted to 1884 tons, equal to near
~ II per cent of the refined lead pro-
duced from domestic ores.
The output of secondary zinc was
rs, $50 tons, equal to % per cent of the
production OF primary zinc.
The recovery of secondary tin is of
Importance. for practically no
domestic tin ore was smelted in the
United States, and the secondary tin
in 1913 OATS tons, valued
at S12,567.379) was more than 81 per |
cent of the tin imported during the |
year.
In aluminium the recoveries in 1913 |
to 1854 tons, valued at
s2.199,4S0.

PRODUCE TALC IN
VAST QUANTITIES
United States Output Reached
Total of 1922 Tons
Last Year.

America leads the world in the pro-
duction of tale and soapstone, and yet
most Americans are far from appreciat-
ing how much of the Joy and comfort
as well as the success of life depends
on the use OF tale to smooth the rough
places and lessen friction of all kinds.
The cool and soothing toilet powder
used by nearly everybody from the
cradle to the grave is made of tale,
which also absorbs grease from silks
and other fabrics, bleaches cotton
cloth. and cleans up things generally.
The demand for tale is steadily
growing in the United States and the
production has responded. The larg-
est amount OF tale is used in the manu-
facture of paper OF many kinds. from
roofing to writing paper. not simply
to give 1t body and weight but to i'm
prove the quality of the paper, give 1t
smooth finish. and make II better
adapted to receive printers ink.
The total output OF tale in the United
States in 1913 was 1927 tons. val
ued at S1,2S0.02O. a gain OF nearly IL
per cent in quantity and more than
I6 per cent in value as compared with
that OF 1912. New York is not only
the banner state in the production OF
tale. but IN 1913 it had the largest out
put OF its history, exceeding by 10000

tons the largest previous annual pro-

tons the largest previous annual pro-
duction.
With the exception of small
amount 1852 tons) produced in Cali
fornia, the entire output of tale In the
United States comes from compare
lively narrow belt of crystalline rocks
running through the Atlantic states
from New York to Georgia. Vermont
ranks next to New York in production
and Pennsylvania is third, followed by
North Carolina, which produces both
tale and pyrophyllite. Virginia, Massa-
chusetts, New Jersey. and Georgia are
next in the order of production.
These statements are based on re-
port by J. S. Diller jast issued by the
United States geological survey as
part of Mineral Resources, 1913" The
report gives special attention to the
recently investigated tale deposit OF
California, which is remarkable for its
whiteress. Like the tale of New York,
that of southeastern California is in
large measure derived from tremolite
schist associated with limestone, but
the indications of present develop
ments do not justify the belief that the
California deposits are as extensive
either horizontally or vertically as the
deposits in New York.
