METALS RECOVERED
WORTH MILLIONS

In 1914 the value Of the second
airy metals, exclusive of gold, sill
yer. platinum, iron and steel, re-
covered in the United States was
s57,69S, 700, according to the Unit
ed States geological survey report.
This is a decrease from 1913.
The term secondary" does not
imply that these metals, which are
recovered from scrap metal, sweep
ings., Dresses, etc, are of inferior
qaulity, but is USED to distinguish
them from primary metals" which
are derived from ore. While the
survey figures relative to lead, zinc.
copper, aluminium. tin and antimony
given in this statement cover a big
field and form an essential addi-
ton TO the reports on primary met
ais. the scope of the inquiry prob
ably reveals less than one-half the
extent of the waste metal trade. The
value of the old iron and steel re-
used amounts to millions of dollars.
For a few purposes requiring es-
pecial purity of material it is neces-
sary 10 employ primary OF virgin pig
ncJsl, but as a general dule Sec
ondaIy metals can be used in whole
or IN part, and most foundries use
them. The manufacturing and rail
way centers contribute the bulk OF
the metal waste, and when trade and
consequently transportation are dull
the production of scrap metal de-
Clines. Over 90 per cent of the r.
filming and smelling of dresses and
scrap metals in the United States is
confined to the territory east of st.
Louis and north OF the Ohio river.
The output of secondary copper,
including that in brass, in 1914, was
127,SS2 tons, being over % per cent
of the primary copper smelted in tn"
United States from domestic ores
during the year.
The secondary lead recovered
amounted to 61,O62 tons, equal to
over II per cent OF the primary re-
fined lead produced in the United
States.
The amount of secondary zinc re-
covered in 1914 was 71,642 tons,
equal to over 20 per cent of the pro
.duction of primary zinc during the
year.
The recovery of secondary tin Is
OF essential Importance. there being
NO domestic tin ore smelted in the
United States. However, some ti'
concentrates were exported from
Nome in 1914.

Girl Kills Self

Miss Marguerite Pollard of Vir-
ginia City, Is years old, shot and
killed herself at her home in that
camp following a quarrel with her
sweetheart, George, Young, %
years old. She fired the bullet
through her brain and died instant
ly. The only other occupant of the
house at the time was Young, with
whose revolver Miss Pollard killed
herself. Another revolver was
found on his person and from this
fact the authorities are inclined to
believe that the shooting was the
result of a suicide pact not kept by
the youth. Until the coroner's jury
returns a verdict no steps will be
taken to hold Young responsible.
