Gently visited the battleship
North Dakota as a representa-

entertained by the commanding
officer, Captain Mexican. The
North Dakota is now with the
Atlantic fleet on the Hudson. Mr.,
Hildreth sends The Forum the
the following interesting account
of his visit:
To know that yomr state is
represented in the great Atlantic
fleet stationed for this week on
the Hudson is splendid thing,
but to know that that ship which
bears the name Of North Dakota
holds records which entities it to
the respect and admiration of
every man in the navy, to know

ceived, and to know that from
the commanding officer down to

The mining industry at this time is
largely making possible the immense
trade balance that shows in favor of
the United States, says the Mining
Record. Great quantities Of war mu-
nitions being manufactured in this
country for European nations are
mostly of kind requiring the use of
metals. But for the ability Of the mines
to furnish this material business
conditions in the United States would
be far below what they are today. The
steel companies, with their large pay
rolls, would be working at reduced
capacity; and manufacturers of var
ious products who are filling war
orders would hsve but little to do. All
lines of trade would be advanced at
fected to q greater or less extent and
pess,mism would hold sway.
The mines have come to the rescue,
thereby demonstrating anew their i'm
portance to he country. Practically
all of the mining camps are centers OF
notable activity. Montana, Joplin
Oklahoma Idaho and other zinc pro-
dueing districts are taking out ton

brought forth In profusion, yet not in
sufficient volume to meet the insatiate
needs of modern finance, Silver too,
is being abnormally mined and no
doubt will play an important part
when the monetary affairs of Europe
are readjusted.
Unquestionable the great conflict is
q war of metals end could not endure
without the assistance of the mines
The waste of the base metals has been
of colossal proportions, with no pros-
poets of q recovery of the wastage
There is some consolation, however.

That the spelter quotations. as givei
out by the metal exchange, and pub,
lished throughout the country, ar,
misleading and that the big produc,
ers do not get nearly SO much for the
zinc product as the general public Is
given to believe, is the statement OF
]. c. Pyle, the engineer for the CLARK
interests and himself an authority on
spelter.
For instance, spelter has been quoted
as high as % cents for prime western
and 80 cents for brass spelter and We,
the Butte & Superior and the Timber
Butte companies get no such price for
their product
Different Grades.
/ Spoilers run in different grades or
classes The spelter produced in Butte
is known as the mountain or ordinary
western grade The best prices receiv-
ed for this have been from 16 to TN
cents ~ pound
The quotations of q and 2S cents
apply merely to small lots of brass
specials that were sold for immediate
delivery through the metal exchange
The quotations of the metal ex-
change on spelter, therefore, do not
apply to the bulk of spelter being pro-
duced by the larger mines or the
country.
Controlled by smeiter.
"The price of the bulk of spelter now
being produced In this country IL con-
trolled by the smelters." said Mr. Pyle.
THE capacity of these smelters is linn
tied There are five great smelter
companies that buy and handle spelter
and three of these the American Metai,
the New Jersey Zine and the American
Zinc, Lead and Smelter. have their
own zinc properties. Some of the
large zinc properties are located In
Wisconsin. Illinois, Tennessee. Mis-
souri, and New Jersey Naturally the
big smelling companies that own their
own product. This product, with that
which they have already contracted to
treat, keeps them going to capacity
and there Is no such thing as getting
any more spelter treated than that
which is now going to the smelters.
No Market for New Zinc.
This thing of undeveloped zinc
mines being valuable because of the
high price of spelter is iaughable to
one conversant with the situation.
More than that, If you had noun
tain of spelter ready for market II
wouldn't do you any good now. The
shelters are working to full capacity.
What good Is a zinc mine II you can't
market your product?
Getting back to the prices quotec
on the metal exchanged Is some
thing like this: A representative of Il
European government will need say

special price. But that special price
does not mean the price paid for spell
ter to the producer.
How Companies Bid.
THE United States Steel corporation
does not buy its spelter that way. Most
OF Its spelter product Is purchased
over the telephone by representatives
of the company. who has the different
producer representatives bid for the
contract"
Mr.. Pyle says there is small danger
OF any more zinc smelters being built
In this country and as for one being
promoted In Montana he says II is too
silly to even give second thought.
A Distinct Profession.
I'm the first place." said he. "smelter
men require almost lifelong training
before becoming proficient 1t IL a
profession unto itself--so much so that
1t is almost separate and apart from
metallurgy. There are no smelter men
running at large today. They are en-
ployed. II would be impossible to train
a new force within reasonable time.
But that is just one of the obstacles
in the way of building and operating
zinc smelters. The tremendous initial
cost Is another barrier And when yoe
add to that the fact that the life OF a

YOU can begin to appreciate the Stun

Other Obstacles.
Nor are those all the barriers. In
oklahoma the wages are just about
half the wages that would be required
in Montana And then. of course, gas
Is obtained in that state at compare
lively nominal cost Why, II would
have to be possible TO buy coal for 50
cents a ton in Montana to operate a
smelter of the kind
But suppose, for the sake OF argu-
ment, such smeter were to be built.
Where would 1t get a stable market
for its product? It would take long
time to complete such a plant and
about that time the war would end and
the abnormal demand for spelter would
cease, bearing the price down"
Supplying the World.
Mr.. Pyle says the United States Is
supplying the world with its speltNr
right now. When war ends II Is his
belief that the British government will
make arrangements so that the Aus
tralian product will no longer go 10
Germany.
1t Is his opinion that the price will
remain high during the progress of the
war.

CANS CATCH COPPER.
A Nuisance Elsewhere is a Source of
Revenue at 6isbee, Arizona.


The city of Bisbee. Aria. is not put
to any expenses or trouble in disposing
of the tin cans and other metal refuse
which is a problem in most cities. In
| fact, tin cans are at premium in that
mining town, together with all kinds
of old iron, even the sort which is con-
sidered worthless by the junk man.
The reason for this condition Is that
the waste water from one OF the
mines is very highly charged with cop
Iper in solution and 1t has been found
possible to recover this metal by
means of any kind of scrap iron. The
process is exceedingly simple and mex
pensiye. The water pumped out of
the shaft Is allowed to flow through
a system of troughs which are. filled
with junk, BY chemical process,
known as replacement, the particles of
iron are gradually eaten away and
atoms of pure copper are left in their
place. thus eventually all of the iron
disappears and In its place is left the
valuable red metal in very pure
state.
The process was discovered quite by
accident. Waste water from the shaft
was formerly allowed to run down
certain gully which was used as q
general dumping place for refuse
This continued for some time until by
chance some one extracted tin can
from the dump and discovered that 1t
mad been replaced by copper, and from
that time the mining company has
made use of the same system, sending
the water through wooden troughs
for a great distance so as to extract
all the copper 1t is claimed that this
method not only uses all tin cans coll
lected in the city, but that an occas-
ional carload is shipped in from other
camps nearby.
