Some Hidden Treasures of the West

Luther Burbank has made the cac-

sand and begins to grow. 1t gets from
the earth no help, only place to
stand upon. But it continues to grow
and expand. Whence It's strength?
only from the sunbeams and the air
that surrounds it, says Goodwin's
weekly.
Thus it has been reproduced through
the ages, and has surrounded ltsel
with vicious thorns, and men in their
darkness have asked for thousands or
wears what freak of nature has caused
anything so repellent to cumber even
the desert.
Burbank, perhaps unconsciousiy'

The largest increase in sight comes
as result of the application of ore
flotation concentration in Montana, but
an incr ase due to the same cause is t.
be looked for i'm Idaho and possibly in
Utah. In Montana the Butte & Su-
perior mill is now producing at the
rate of $4,000 tons Of ziEc a year, and
the new Pilot Butte mill, which has
just gone into operation, should raise
the state output to 10000 tons a year
or ii, as planned another unit is added
to this mill the state output may rise
to 10000 tons and more by 1915. In
Colorado the new zinc oxide plant at
Leadville is reported to be purchasing
IA per cent zinc carbonate ore, as
against a minimum of about 20 per
cent ore purchased by zinc shelters.
As the Leadville carbonate ore is not
amenable to concentration this means
a large increase in the available zinc
ore resources of that region. Another
source of zinc which will be made
AVAILABLE in the future is zinc bearing
copper ore, the zinc content Of which
Vt present either makes the ore UNI
salable or, when the ore is smelted for
he copper collects as flue and bag
house dusts, for the recovery of the
zinc from which there is at present no
uitabe process. Much ore OF this
sort is mined in Shasta county, Cali
fornia, and such zinciferous dusts are
accommodating in large quantities at

With the establishment of peaceful

MONTANA METAL OUTPUT

LEAD AND ZINC ALL SHOW
A GOOD INCREASE.

The metal output of Montana for
1914 was seriously affected by the
conditions of the copper market due
to the European war, as Montana Is
primarily a copper producer. The val
ue of gold, silver, copper, lead and zinc
from Montana mines decreased, ac-
cording to estimates by V. G. lIeikes
of the U. S. geological survey, from
nearly $62,O00,000 in 1913 to about
$4S,000,000 in 1914 The decrease in
copper was large and that in silver
was notable, but there were consider
able increases in gold lead AND zinc.
The value of the silver and copper
yield was greatly reduced or account
of the great decline in prices Of these
metals in 1914.
The gold output increased II slightly
over $4,000,000, or more than for seven
years previous. THIS is an increase Of
over Ia per cent above the sold yutput
of 1913 mainly due to dradge opera
lions and production of silicebus ores
and lead and zinc ores. The placers

GOOD OUTLOOK FOR ZINC
WAR HELPS INDUSTRY
ADOPTION OF FLoTATiON GIVES
PROMISE OF INCREASED
PRODUCTION.

The war and its effect on the zinc
industry is eXcellently reviewed by
G. L, Siebenthal in report of the U.
5. geological survey. In this report it
Is pointed out that the raVages of the
war are felt particularly severely in
the European zine smelling centers.
as these are in regions where active
hghtlng Is now going on or may be
expected in the near future. The zinc
shelters of upper Silesia are in the
extreme southeastern portion of Prus-
STA, mostly in the KattoWitz, Beuthen
and Tarnowitz districts, which are ad-
Jacent to one another and lie within
to 10 miles of the Polish Prussian
border and near the corner of Russia,
Austria and Germany. The two smelt-
ers in Russian Poland arc lust across
the border from the Silesian smelters
They all seem destined soon to be
compelled to suspend or decrease OPP
erations on account of military activ-
tiles, and in any event their output
certainly can not reach the outside
world. The same thing is true of the
shelters in Rhenish Prussia and West
phalia, some of which ere very near
and most of which are within 100 miles
Of Liege. In Belgium" all but three or
four Of the zinc smelling plants lie
between Veryiors end Licge or are
strung along the valley of the Mouse
between Liego and Namur, and their
industrial prospects can well be imag-
med. The zinc smelters of France lie
outside Of tho territory whore active
operations are likely and SO
will probably suffer only from scarcity
of labor as the employees arc called to
the colors from arrangements of trans
portation. The Same is true of tho zinc
shelters in England but those of
Austria Hungary will, Of course, be
put out of commission. Other small
smolters in Europe, Australia, and
Japan will possibly not be affected ex~
cept as transportation is interrupted
From these observations 1t can be
seen that the zinc smelling industry
Of Europe will be in a sadly democrat
lied condition while the war continues
and for some time thereafter
Statistics Show Steady Increase.
The following table shows that the
production of zinc at the mines is
steadily increasing:
