MAY USE ZINC PIGMENTS
SUBSTITUTE FOR LEAD
SURPLUS or zinc AND SHORT.
AGE OF LEAD BRING At
TENTIoN TO QUESTION.
Engineering and Mining Journal,)

Engineering and Mining Journal)
Our Washington correspondent re-
ports that the substitution of zinc pig
ments for lead pigments has been
suggested to the raw materials COM
mittee of the council. of national de-
city of pig lead and the surplus of
spelter. While the opinion held with
in the council of national defense APP
pears to be entirely opposed to any
action which would interfere with the
law of supply and demand as respects
these metals. it is admitted that some
men of high scientific standing believe
the suggestion a feasible one.
1t is argued that the substitution of
zinc pigments for those of lead would
do much to relieve the lead stringency
and, by making a market for more
zinc, would absorb some of the ple-
thora of zinc ore 1t is contended
that as a war measure the prohibit
tion of the manufacture of white lead,
on the ground that the lead in pig
ments is needed in munitions, would
be on the same basis as the prohibit
tion of the manufacture of distilled
of sulphuric acid is an obstacle. Fur
thermore, there are low grade ores,
especially the calamne of Leadville,
that are too poor for the zinc smelter
but ought to be capable of local con-
centration into oxide fume or to serve
as raw material for the manufacture
for foodstuffs.
1t also has been proposed to the
council to omit the last draw in maxi
ing spelter and carry the second draw
a little further, thus leaving enough
zinc in the residues to make recovery
OF zinc oxide profitable. This system /,
OF operation, 1t is asserted, would re-
duce the surplus of spelter produce |
tion and would increase the zinc-oxide
production. 1t is declared to be feas- /
ible to smelt in this way, zinc con- /
centrates containing considerable lead, I
avoiding lead in the spelter by TAX /
ing only two draws and recovering the
lead in lead-zinc fume. This would
tend also to the conservation of zinc,
it is contended, because it would pre-,
vent the loss which results from max
ing the clean zinc concentrate at pres
ent demanded by zinc smelters.
There Is, perhaps, something worth
considering in the main idea of sub
shutting zinc pigments for lead pig
ments. but we are doubtful as to the
usefulness Of the means that are sug- q

STORY OF THE MAN WHO
CHR|STENED old GLORY
ORIGINAL FLAG is STILL PRE-
SERVED IN INSTITUTE AT
SALEM, MASS.

Captain Stephen Driver was, with
out doubt the first man to christen
our flag "Old Glory" He was born
at Salem, Mass. When about to sail
from that port in command OF the
brig Charles Doggett in the year 1891
he was presented with a large Alneri-
can flag. AS 1t was sent aloft and
broke out to the air, Captain Driver
christened the beautiful emblem "Old
Glory and this was the name he
evermore used for it. Ills flag shared
with the captain the perils and adven.-
lures of the deep, and on his retire
ment from the sea it &was taken by
him to Nashville, Tenn, where he
made his home and where he died
Rebels Sought Flag.
The captain was a pronounced
Union .man, and his outspoken fond
ness for the flag made him widely
known as "Old Glory Driver" When
the civil war broke out, every confed
crate in the town felt special call
to get hold of that particular flag
The captains home and grounds were
repeatedly searched for 1t in vain
They knew 1t was there, but they
could not find it. The old captain told
them they should see it when 1t flew
again over the city. In order to keer
Il safe until that longed for time the
captain with his own hands had quilt
ed odd Glory" into comfort and
made 1t his Mdfellow.
February Is, 1862, the federal troops
took possession of Nashville and true
to his promise Captain Driver took
the flag to the capitol and it was soon
waving over the city AS he saw II
once more in the air the old man ex-
claimed: Nov that Old Glory is w
there, gentlemen am ready to die"
Back to Home Harbor.
In his happiness the captain gave
another flag, which he had secreted
regimnt. with the hope that they
would raise 1t over every cotton state
capitol.
In 1882 the captain gave his below
ed flag to his niece, Mrs. Cooke, with
directions for her to do with it as she
thought best after his DEATH She af-
terward presented it to its present
caretaker, the Essex Institute of Sal
EN-, Mass. So after all its voyages
and vicssitudes the original "Old
Glory is safe today in the very har-
Dor from which 1t sailed away Sc
years ago.

.FLUME IN SOUTH IDAHO
OF UNUSUAL INTEREST
CONCRETE AND TIMBER USED IN
CONSTRUCTION ON THE
BEAR RIVER.

The Cove flume, which is part Of
the Cove power project of the Utah
Power & Light company, is described
in the Journal of the Utah society Of
engineers by L. NJ. Pharis. The pro-
ject is on Bear river in southern
Idaho. -
The flume Is unusual on account of
it's size and the details Of construc-
ton. II has a clear width inside of
20 feet. The length Is 500 feet and
there is wall of feet In this dis
lance. The top of the flume is kept
level so that the depth varies from
" feet at the upper end to 1874 feet
at the lower end. This allows the
water in the flune to assume the
static level without spilling. In addi-
ton to this there is spillway 300
feet long at the lower end to take care
of surges when the turbine-g gates are
closed suddenly, and a wasteway in
the canal section just below the head
gate at the upper end to prevent spill
ling over the flume in case there is a
sudden rise in the pond level.
Instead of constructing the frames
or bents of wood, which would have
had comparatively short life, besides
presenting some difficult problems in
construction, the stills, posts, and tie
beams are constructed of reinforced
concrete. The tiebeams ar e10 by IA
inches; the posts are % inches wide
at the top and 81 inches at the bottom.
The stills are feet wide and both
posts and stills are IA inches thick.
Each frame was poured as a monolith
and the corners are reinforced. The
stills are supported on three concrete
piers, each Is by 36 inches cross-sec-
ton. The height of the piers varies
with the topography from inches to
Is feet. They are carried below the
frost-line and have spread footings
where the nature of the ground is such
as to require them The frames are
spaced 6 feet center to center. Around
the inside of each frame is bolted a
mailing plank by IA inches, to which
a wooden lining is spiked. This lin
ing varies in thickness from 3 to 5
inches, the bottom and lower part of
the side-l lining being inches and the
remainder of the sidelining being 3
and 4 inches. The lining is the best
grade of oregon fir and was shipped
to the job slightly oversize in width
to allow for shrinkage. The 'planks
were then planed just before placing
in the flume. This process made the
and also cut the groove for the spine

gested. In the first place. there Is
no longer any great plethora Of zinc
ore. the importation of large tonnages
of ore from oversee countries, which
was a relieving feature in the market
in 1916. having been checked by the
present acute shortage in ocean
carrying facilities. Consequently, the
price for zinc ore has not declined In
anything like the same proportion as
| the price for zinc, which means that
smelters margins have been greatly
contracted.
| Nor does the idea Of emitting the
last drawing of spelter from the dis
tillation furnaces, m order to produce
residue high in zinc, for subsequent
extraction by CRATE burning, look log
ical. Indeed, at first sight, this looks
something like advice to the cook to
produce full garbage pail in order
to feed the pigs However, while such
procedure might increase the supply
of pig lead, for If all zinc smelters
adopted such a practice, the produce
ton of pig lead from zinc smelters
residues, amounting to several thous-
and tons per annum, would be SUBJ
tracted.
| Another thing that stands in the
Way of the suggestion to the raw ma
terials committee Is the difficulty OF
finding men skilled in the art of max
ing zinc oxide. 1t is becoming a fairly
common custom among American zinc
smelters to extract zinc remaining in
the residues withdrawn from the re-
torts by burning such residues on
Wetherill CRATES. From such residues
containing to per cent zinc, some
where from go to 10 per cent of the
zinc may be recovered in the form OF
fume, the cost Of the process being
relatively small, inasmuch as. the re-
tore residues usually contain sufficient
unburned coal to serve for all the fuel
ordinarily produced Is dirty and is
used simply as zinc ore, being returned
to the retorts. The production OF
zinc fume of this character and the
production of zinc oxide to be used
as pigment are two different things
For the latter purpose, proper physical
character of the product, especially as
to color, Is the prime consideration
and the number of available mer
skilled in that. work is rather small
Certain zinc shelters have already
undertaken to enter the zinc oxide
business in this way, but they have
been having their troubles which they
have not succeeded in mastering, al
though doubtless they will do so in
/ the course Of the next six months.
However, there are possibilities OF
increasing the use of other white pig
ments at the expense of white lead
For example, there ought to be great
expansion in the production and use
of lithophone; and, as raw material
for that process. the crude oxide fume
produced by the zinc shelters might
be profitably employed. This would
have the further advantage of actual
/ ly adding to the supply Of material
available for conversion into pig, lead
Unfortunately, the present high cost
of pigment. The interest of capitalists
in making money will surely lead
them into such things, if there be any
profit in sight, and If the policy OF
the administration does not destroy all
p, incentives.
