Production of Lead in United States
(From the Annual Secretary nor)

The production of lead in the Unit
ed States in 1880 was $4,000 tons, val
ued at s9,7SO, 600, but in 1914 it had
become $4,000 tons, valued at $42,-
100000, an increase of nearly 600 per
cent in tonnage and 400 per cent in
valuation. The world produces annu-
ally about 100000 short tons to which
the United States, the largest produce
err contributes about 80 per cent.
Spain ranks second, producing about
one-half as much as does the United
States.
The normal exports of lead about
equal the amount recovered from i'm
ported foreign ores and base bullion.
AS the great bulk of the worlds lead is
mined and smelted outside of Europe,
the European war has not affected the
supply as 1t has that of zinc and some
other metals. This countrys exports
Of domestic lead were, however, much
larger during the first half of 1915,
amounting to $4,000 tons against &C.,
600 tons for the period July to Deem
ber 1914
The lead mines of the United States
were not worked at full capacity in
1914, in spite of the output increasing
about 10000 tons. Large stocks and
low metal prices caused many large
mines to aurtail operations during the |
last half of the year The increased |
mine yield resulted in part from larg-
er recoveries of metal by more efF-
cient milling methods.
These large increases In Missouri,
IDAHO and Utah occurred notwith-
standing the decline in the average
price Of lead from "A cents a pound in
s1S to S.9 cents in 1914, the lowest
lverage price in 16 years.
Lead or lead-zinc ores are mined in
2 states, and the fact that the output
increased about $4,000 tons regardless
The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1915-12-23

of low prices, shows that the United
States can supply its domestic re-
quirements for many years, and can
also supply large export demand il
prices are favorable or even equal to
the average prices for the last 10
years. Most of the lead and zinc ores
| of the western states carry silver.
which adds to their value.
In brief, the lead resources of the
United States are capable of meeting
consumption, and the production is on
~ limited by the ability Of the mar
ket to absorb the output from domes-
tic mines and from ore and base bull
lion imported from Mexico for smelt-
ing and refining.
In addition to the ability to produce
all the lead required for domestic use,
a large part Of the output is soft
lead or lead free from anthony and
other metals, which is easily smelted
and is specially adapted for use in
lead batteries and for making paints
and chemical products.
Approximately 40 per cent of the
lead produced in the United States is
converted into white lead and pig
ment for use in paints, and is there
fore not recovered as metal. About
l5 per cent is used in the manufact-
lre of pipes for use in chemical in
iustries and in plumbing and about
per cent is converted into sheets
argely for the lining of tanks and
'eceptacles to contain acids and 9TH
II corrosive substances, uses for which
he metal is peculiarly adapted. About
o per cent of the production Is used
n the manufacture Of shot, and the
2s per cent is used for var
GUS purposes.
The most important lead ore de-
osits are in southeastern and south
The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1915-12-23

western Missouri and northern Ida
no. There are also large deposits in
Utah and Colorado. About 81 per cent
of the lead produced in the United
States is from Missouri and Idaho.
The deposits in both these states are
large and while some are low grade
yet improved metallurgical processes
and the use of oil flotation in milling
will enable these two states to con-
tinue to lead the others for many
years to come, and to make the Unit
ed States absolutely Independent of
foreign countries for the lead 1t needs.

ditures are crammed into the 100
page report.
Trades union officers say that this
report backs up their charges often
made against the South Park board.
Secret operation and czar-ike power
are the two things the labor men
say they want to break.
Simon ODOnnel, president of the
Building Trades Council, has this to
say: Those South Park commits
sioners get away with anything they
want to. Each one is appointed for
six years by the circuit judges of
Cook county. They are not elected
by the people. They are not respon-
sible to the voters. They pay lower
wages than any other public body in
the county. They give labor men the
laugh. The way they act they might
as well say, The public be damned
and be done with it.
Lawrence P. LndeIof, secretary
Painters District council, gave this
view:
eff any so-caIled roughnecks on
the county board or in the city coun-
Gil should do what the South Park
board is doing they would have the
newspapers on their necks in a min
ute. These millionaire commission
ers are supposed to be business men
giving us a business administration
of public property.
ct takes them over ten months
to fix up their annual report. And
at last, when the annual report
comes out it doesn't tell the most i'm
portant things that ought to be told.
1.-The public has an investment of
$23,OOO,OOO in the property con-
trolled by the commissioners. Isn't
ten months too long a time to delay
a report on such vast public prop
erty? When the report finally comes
shouldn't the citizens be informed as

fcials in Chicago than the South
Park commissioners. All you need
do is look at their records. See who
they are. They are tied up with big
business interests all the way
through. Not one of them has any
working class feeling. They see
everything in the light of low wages
and big profits"
This is the lineup of the South
Park board as it stands today:
President of the board is John Bar
ton Payne, one time a Judge; later
attorney for the Armour-Swift-Mor-
ris packing companies; attorney for
the Chicago Junction Ry.; member
of the firm of Winston, Payne,
Strawn & Shaw, the highest-priced

Edward Tilden is president Of

GERMAN WOMEN SPEAK OUT.
German women have been appealing to the Socialist
members OF the Rechstag for peace by taking
action on the high prices of food stufs.
It is rather curious argument they make, connecting
up the price of food freedom Of the press the eX
plotting of the people by the government and the enc
of war In the manifesto just issued to the Deputies the
women state first that there is much bitterness over
the increase in prices of food leading in some cases
to rioting.
But the question of high food prices" says the mani
festo does not stand isolated question. Ii
hangs together with the entire policy Of the gov
eminent While the government strives to Cypress ant
exploit the inhabitants of other countries through con
quest so does the government demand the seyeres eX
poitaton and oppression Of its people during the
wal.
since an protests of the Socialist Deputies against
the high prices of food have been UNDECIDED it behooyes
the Deputies to attempt other methods 1t is OF the
greatest necessity establish the freedom Of the press
so that the latter can fight for lowering prices
Of food But only stricer censorship has been ezer
csed Many party organs have been suppressed through
the country because they contained articles agains

"Au publicity concerning the grievances of the agrar

"The main cause Of the raising food prices is tho

the conditions for the working class become un

The manifesto goes on to declare that the wome,
who have issued it opposed all plans for furthe
conquest They demand from the Socialist Party tina
it declare upon an annexation plans Of the

This appeal Of German women to the Socialist depr

Officials of the Warren District Re-
lief Association are anxious that no
Misunderstanding exist concerning the
needs of many deserving cases in the
Warren District The fact that great
prosperity exists here does not mean
that there are not many cases where
the hand Of Charity is really required.
Officials of the Association feel that,
ON account of the prevailing prospect
ty, some may acquire a wrong impress
sion and feel that there is not much
demand for philanthropy
The very fact that the word OF War

and wide is responsible. in considera-
bic measure, for the overabundance of
labor here with the result that some
who would work are forced to stand
idle Owing to rather depressing CON
ditiuns i'm the industrial and business
spheres Of other sections, many men
have locked to the Warren District.
Those who have been disappointed in
failure to secure work are in numer-
GUS instances, entirely worthy of help
Some of the unemployed have families

Already the Association has ex-
pended 5000 for supplying necessities
