HEAT is INTENSE
IN ZINC SHELTER

Kusa, Okla, Aug. 21.--Now that
Oklahoma has become the home of
zinc smelters because of her cheap
fuel and ample transportation facili-
ties, the public will be interested in
the process of smelling ores. The
average citizen is unacquainted with
the art of extracting these values
or the method of reducing base met
ais from crude ore as it comes from
the mills at the mines.
The Kusa Smelling company will
begin with three blocks, or units,
about September 20. Each block con-
tains room for 640 retorts. These are
made Of fire clay about five feet long
by six inches in diameter. Each re-
tort is filled once every twenty-four
hours with ore which has teen roast
ed thoroughly, thereby burning off all
sulphur. The roasted ore, which con-
tains about 60 per cent metallic zinc,
Is mixed with coal finely ground, which
the smelter workers call "bue pow
der
Each retort containing the desired
mixture of powdered coal and roasted
zinc ore, is held at a very high tenn
perature for about six hours, which
causes the zinc to vaporiZe and pass
off into what they call a condenser
made Of fire clay. This small cone
shaped affair is placed where the air
can reach it, causing the vapor to
precipitate and fall into the recep-
tacle. This is then moulded into
slabs and sold as spelter This re-
fined products is used for galvanizing
wire and iron and steel products.
At the Kusa smeter precious met
ais, gold and silver are not saved.
The residue, which remains in the
retort, is sent back to large refining
plants in Colorado if the gold and
silver values are sufficient to war
rant further treatment. Only ores
from certain mining districts in the
west are sufficiently rich in gold and
silver to pay cost of transportation
back to smelters with equipment to
handle such residue.
The Kusa plant will be run as a
continuous process. never cooling or
reducing the intense heat for an hour
for many years to come. Men are
employed at good wages to keep fill-
ing and pouring off pure zinc. The
retorts are filled and drawn off sew
eral times during each day and night.
The workmen become accustomed to
working under a very high heat-so
high indeed that the average person
would drop dead in ten minutes with

Wilson Has Not Protested.

"Mr. Wilson, as we know, did not
protest against the invasion of Bel
GUM. He has not protested strongly
enough, to my mind. against the as
sassination of Americans on the Lusi-
tania. Perhaps he believes in peace
at any price, and perhaps he has an
eye for political expediencI as well.
There are a good many Germans IN
the United States with t." right to
vote. There are a good many Irish
men with the right to vote. Mr.. VIII.
son will need those votes next year,
but | don't think they will re-elect
him.
And let me say this: There is no
such being as a German-American or
an Irish-American. A man may be
an American. He may be a German.
He may be an Irishman. But he can
not hyphenate his nationality. And
American nationality is what we
seem to be forfeiting by the ignoble
neutrality with which we as a ma
ton are trying to look on while dem
ocratic England and democratic
France are fighting militarism and
the divine right OF kaisers in Eu-
rope.
