GOLD AND THE WAR.
Production Remains About Normal,
But Capital Seeks Base Metals.

(Mining and Scientific Press)
Gold production generally has not
suffered from the war because so lit
tie of it is derived from Europe. Even
the big mines of the Transvaal own
ed by English, German and French
shareholders, continue to produce their
quota of the most necessary metal,
despite the national conflict that COM
pels the dividends of some of the
to be set aside until
peace is restored. In Rhodesia, West
Africa, India and Australia the output
of gold Is we'll maintained, thanks in
part to the arrangements made by the
British government for advancing 81
per cent of the value of the gold upon
its delivery at the local banks, and also
the facilitating of cyanide shipments
to the mines. On this continent gold
production proceeds as usual and in
Asiatic Russia the operations in the
tricts have been hindered only by an
occasional shortage of labor due to
On the whole, the main
sources of supply are not affected by
the war. but new ventures are without
the capital to make them active, and
will continue to feel the lack of it, as
London, for the British treas
ury has placed an embargo on new is
sues. Therefore the total output Of
gold in the world will suffer decrease
now and more marked dminution
later, for the reason stated and ais
because fresh enterprise will be di-
verted to the exploitation of the base
metals, the price of which, relatively
has been rapidly enhanced.

Base Metal and Effect of the War
on Their Production
Mining and Scientific Press.

The sensational rise of copper, an
timony and zinc has been followed by
a vigorous squirt in the quotation for
lead. These changes, all favorable to
the miner, are largely the result of the
war, in the waging of which enormous
quantities of munitions are required.
The demand for copper and zinc indi-
Gates the increased use of brass; the
consumption of lead seems to need no
explanation, for 1t is the metal gener-
ally associated with war; but in this
case the obvious Is not the fact. The
consumption of lead in modern war
fare is small, as compared with steel
and brass. Lead has risen because IL
Is being employed as a substitute for
zinc, in the making of terne- plates or
roozng tin, instead of galvanized iron.
Anthony is added to the lead in bull
lets to harden them Subjoined are
the prices of the principal base metals
at three successive periods, namely,
just before the war; during the col
lapse following the naval blockade,
and on the day of this writing. The
figures are eloquent. For further in
formation we give the ratio of produc-
ton and consumption of the principal
base metals in the United States as
with the grand totals Of pro
duction and consumption in the whole
world

Shy on Anthony and Tin.

1t will be seen how enormous is both
the absolute and the relative consump-
ton of the three chief metals in this
continental country, in which mater
ial civilization has been so highly de-
veloped. Two of the base metals are
not produced in notable amount OF
anthony there is only about $500 tons
obtained from the smelling of anti
monial lead, mostly of foreign origin.
The anthony of the world, amounting
10 about 10000 tons per annum, comes
chiefly from China and France. The
supplies of the latter come from its
outheastern territory, outside the war
area, while delivery of Chinese anti
mony has been hindered by the dis
organization of transport. Mexico
has recently become of Importance in
antimony production, and Canada has
resources capable of making a consid-
cradle contribution of this metal. OF
tin also it can not be said that any
noteworthy amount is produced in this
country; only about so tons per an
mum, chiefly from Alaska, as against
a worlds production of 10000 tons.
Interchange of Metals.
In normal times Germany consumes
about one-quarter, say, 100000 tons, of
the worlds production of copper. As
imports have stopped, it is presumed
that Germany Is employing a substi-
tute and also using the manufactur-
ed copper in the country England
and France are buying copper freely.
AS for zinc, apart from the increased
demand for making the brass used in
munitions, the diminution in the sup
ply Of that metal from Australia has
proved an important factor The Bro
ken Hill mines, which produce norm
ally about 100000 tons of zinc, or one
fifth of the worlds output, are unable
to market their product because they
are under contract to the Belgian and
German smelters. Some Of the Aus
tralian zinc concentrate has been
shipped to this country, but the freight
and duty are unfavorable, as well as
the fact that a better grade of domes-
tic material Is available here for
smelling. Meanwhile we note that the
British government is to commander
all the zinc produced in Great Britain

normally $4,000 tons per annum-
ana stop the use of 1t for galvanizing
On this side the United States Stee
corporation is starting to replace zinc
by lead in galvanizing, making the
.erne plates 10 which reference has al
reaay been made. Undoubtedly one oi
the effects OF the war will be to slim
ulate the inventive faculty in substi-
luting one metal for another in ac-
cofdance with the exigencies OF supply

oe temporary, others may persist after
peace has been restored. Extraordin-
AIRY variations in price may favor the
temporary use of one metal In the
place of another, but it is quite clear
that the general demand for all of
chem is being enormously intensified
oy the war.
Great Demand for Base Metals.
The question arises, Will this de-
nand stop on the termination of hos
tilittes? As we see it, the demand will
persist while hostilities continue and
also during the interval that must
elapse between the cessation of actual
lighting and the final contamination of
peace During that interval each bel
ligerent country will begin the work
of reorganization, and as soon as
peace is assured the great work of re-
Mobilization and restoration will be
taken in hand. That will involve an
enormous consumption of metals.
Modern man needs food and clothing
first, then the metals The destruc-
ton of metallic products of all kinds,
from domestic utensils to intricate
has been intense In Bel
GUM, northern France, east Prussia,
Poland, Galicia, Serbia and other re-
gions traversed by devastating arm
les. All of this will have to be replac-
ed, besides which there Is the proba-
bility that a good deal of old nom
metallic material, now destroyed or
yet to be destroyed. will be replaced
by metallic products. As we see it,
the next decade will be marked by an
demand for the base met
ais, causing a world wide expansion in
the mining of these metals This
as the great maker of NUM-
lions now and the great manufacturer
Of machinery during the first years af-
ter the war, will be called upon both
to produce and to smelt the base met

Accidents seem to be logging the
partners who held lease on the Eur
eka mine, miles from HALEY
The second accident within "a hours
occurred Saturday at $3.50, when Gus
was returning to the mine from HALEY
on his motorcycle, was thrown from
the machine when 1t skidded in a rut,
fracturing his skull, the machine pill
ing on top of him. He lay in the road
face down in the dust, for perhaps an
hour or more before he was discover
ed and medical assistance given. 1t is
believed he will recover.
Friday while repairing pump pipe
in the main shaft of the Eureka mine,
the pipe broke, throwing Bert Pinney,
Erickson's partner, off his balance and
causing him to fall into the shaft 20
feet, where he turned head down, but
the heavy buckskin laces he wore in
his shoes caught on a nail and held
him securely until he was liberated by
his fellow workers. Below him was Q
sheer drop of so feet to a landing, in
which had been cut a large manhole,
underneath which was 300 feet Of wa
ter. However, aside from numerous
minor bruises, Pinney suffered no in
juries.
