entail of 1.5 per cent between the dry

actual practice the discrepancy is pro.
badly even greater than that figure
Lastly, there is not taken into account
in these totals, except in certain of the
western states, the loss in smelling,
ranging from to per cent in treat
ing easily reducable ores and up to 10
or more per cent in the more refrac-
tory ores. Losses running over 20 per
cent have been claimed in smelling
ores running high in anthony and
arsenic. Lag being left out of account,
the totals would normally show mine
excess equal to this smelling loss Any
discrepancy which appears in the table
may reasonably be ascribed to one Oh
more Of these items. In the long run,
barring error and allowing for smelt-
ing losses and expectation of ore, the
mine excess" will be balanced by
equivalent "smelter excess"
BY referring to the table comparing
the mine and smelter totals, 1t will be
seen that three times during the last
eight years the production of lead by
the mines has been less than the out
put of smelters. In the other years the
mine production has been considerably
in excess. The total output of mer-
chant lead, soft lead, and lead in pig
ments by the smelters during the eight
years was 3,300,694 tons, while the out
put of the mines for the same period
was S,426,S43 tons, the excess of mine
production over smelter production be-
ing 125,649 tons.
These figures allow the making of an
estimate Of smelling losses. The total
Of soft pig lead for the
eight years is 1,3O5,147 tons, and of
lead in pigments 71,1S5 tons, total of
l.S76,SS2 tons of soft lead. In smelling
this soft lead the loss was not far from
per cent, total of 2S,0SS tons. II

Soft Lead.

The lead ores Of the Mississippi VAL
ley are almost free from silver, and
the lead produced from them is
known as soft lead" A little lead
ore derived from washington and
other western states is also of this
character. With one exception, the
shelters running exclusively on these
soft-lead ores do not desilverize their
product. However, considerable quanti-
tea of the soft lead ores have been
annually smelted by the silver-lead
smelters and, In addition, since 1904
one of the Mississippi Valley smelters
has regularly desllverized Its product.
This desilverized soft lead, for the
years prior to 1905, has not been kept
separate from the lead produced from
silver-lead ores, though the lead con-

TRANSMISSION
BY WIRELESS

Tonopah will soon be connected
with the state university by means of
wireless transmission and then the
boys of the high school will begin
the practical study of aerogramming.
The Tonopah station holds the record
for receiving the longest distanced
wave, since several years ago a mes
sage from Alaska was taken here by
T.. p. Cullinan. Such a thing as
catching messages from coast points
in California is a common feat. The
tall mast southeast of the old high
school building is now being removed
to the new high school.
In the meantime Mr.. Cullinan is
erecting pair of masts connected
with antennae. One pole will be
raised on Heller Butte and the Other
will be in the Cullinan yard. From
these wires will be stretched for a
distance of 400 feet between the two
prominent hills Ranking the big draw
through which the air waves are
received This is said to be an ideal
site. The poles are 125 feet high.
