QUICKSILVER PRODUCTION
Slight Decrease Shown In Worlds Aggregate
Last Year

The quicksilver production of the world dur
ing 1913 is estimated at 4171 metric tons, against
| 1852 tons in 1912 and 40S3 tons in 1911. The
countries Of production last year were United
States, 6Ss tons; Austria Hungary S55 tons; It.
ally, oSS tons: Spain. 1890 tons: Mexico and
others, $50 tons. These figures were gathered
by the United states Geological Survey
Quicksilver is used mainly In the manufacture
Of illuminate for explosive caps. OF drugs of
electric appliances and scientific apparatus. and
In tho recovery Of precious metals especially
gold. by amalEamation. use in Scotland
is the floating Of lights of lighthouses upon a
body of quicksilver. in England in the
United States and possibly elsewhere is the
coating Of ships bottoms with paint contain
ing quicksilver to prevent organic growth NIcr-
curic oxide (red oxide of mercury is the ac-
tive poison in anti-foulng paint successfully
used on ships bottoms. The metal appears TO
be little employed in svering mirrors as nj
trate OF silver is now chiefly used for the pur-
pose. Increasing use of quicksilver is probably
to he expected in the manufacture Of electrical
appliances and OF Eliminates. and tossfbly of
paints for protective coatngs on metals
The demand for quicksilver for amalgamatInr
gold and silver has greatly decreased as is wall
known with the decreased supply Of free mill
ing ores and the increased application Of cvani-
dntion to gold and silver ores. Industrial chem
istry and inventive genius are to be looked n
for increasing the demand
