WHAT is SPELTER?
Here Is a Definition That Is an I'm
provement on Webster.

Engineering and Mining JournaD
The precise definition of some COM
mon thing is often matter of i'm
portance Not long ago we were ask
ed to define spelter. OF course, we
all know what spelter is, but what is
IL precise definition of it? We con-
suited Webster's dictionary and
found the following: "Spelter-Zinc
so called especially in commerce.
That is a fairly good, rough definition
but metallic zinc occurs in commerce
in another form; namely, zinc dust
which certainly is not spelter. We
should therefore substitute the fol-
lowing definition: "Spelter-The zinc
of commerce, more or less impure, In
slabs, plates or ingots cast from mol
ten metal" The concluding clause
hakes the distinction between speltel
and zinc dust. OF course our defini.
ton would be incomplete if electroly.
tic catholics should ever become al
article of commerce, but until they DE-

Ice cream was certainly first served
in the United States by Dolly Madi
son, the wife of President Madison,
and it has often been said that she in
vented the popular dessert. a writer
in the Illustrated World, however, says
that the first ice cream was made by
Gunton, London confectioner. But
Gunton's method of freezing was crude
and uncertain and it remained for
Nancy Johnson, the wife of an Ameri-
can naval officer, to invent the ice
cream freezer.
The ice cream business has far out
grown the small hand freezer. Vast
quantities are frozen b Especial ma
chinery. The industry has become so
great that fortunes have been made
out of it. Last year, according to the
Indianapolis News. the American peo-
pie consumed 250000,000 gallons,
which, figured at only Q dollar and
quarter a gallon, means a business of
more than $300,00O,00O.

1t scarcely becomes the mining man

How a Gold Rush was Started in

(Salt Lake Mining Review
A gold rush turns the heads of even
the most cautious of men. on the LIST
of April some one discovered yellow
metal in shines which were being re.
moved from an old tank at Sparks,
New. The tank was fed by pipe
from springs five miles away. The
resultant rush was genuine in every
respect. Within a few minutes half
the town was feverishly panning beau

the other half was out placing loca,

$27,884.623, or approximately $40 per

COPPER FOR UNCLE SAM.
Allies Are Not Entitled to Same Fa-
vorable Rate.

One of the leading copper men who
has been in close touch with the cOun.
| ell of national defense is quoted or
this subject as follows:
1T stands to reason that our pro-
ducers will not be forced to sell their
products abroad at the same price
which patriotic motives led them to
quote to our own government. The
British and French purchases include
not only requirements for munitions
works and other government pur-
poses, but also for every domestic
form of consumption in those coun-
tries.
Then why should it be expected
that we would supply the foreign
manufacturers with copper at United
States government prices and ask full
market price from American manu-
facturers? On the face of the propo-
sition it is absurd.
Furthermore, if the government
here is to fix prices at which copper
or other metals are to be sold, why
not as well expect the same govern
ment to name the prices for wheat,
cotton and other commodities"
1t is the gradual meeting of new
conditions that is adding to the con-
fidence in the markets.

DIAMOND DRILL HOLE IS
DEEPEST IN AMERICA
SUNK IN NEW JERSEY PROS
PEcTiNG FOR ZiNc--OTHER
DEEP HOLES.

Mine and Quarry publishes a pho
tograph showing a Sullivan diamond
core drilling outfit, with which was
drilled the deepest diamond drill hole
in North America. This hole. which
was completed at depth of 1920 feet,
was drilled in Sussex county, New
Jersey, in 1915 and 1916 on the prop
critics of the Sussex Calcite company,
the mineral sought being zine.
Nearly a Mile Deep.
This hole, nearly mile in depth,
exceeds by about 100 feet the deep
est hole hitherto put down on the
North American continent, of which
records are available. The work was
done by the contract drilling forces of
the Sullivan Machinery company Of
Chicago, with Sullivan Class P
heavy duty drill, operated by a thirty
horse power portable steam boiler
The derrick was made of timbers and
was SIS feet in height. The drilling
was carried on over period of 20
months. Drilling was started with
class en- fittings, removing n core
inches in diameter. Aat a depth of
1900 feet the fittings were reduced to
size "B," removing a 1 3-S inch core,
and this size of tools was maintained
until the completion of the hole.
A core barrel 10 feet in length was
used and the customary 10-foot drill
al pt,f IN, a,.la 10
facilitates speed in handling the rods,
joints were broken every 80 feet Work
was carried on in two 1O-hour shifts
The crew consisted of drill foreman,
who did the diamond setting, and
superintendent the work; two drill
runners Gone for each Shift, four
helpers and two firemen.
Weight Of Rods 10 Tons.
When the final depth was reached,
the time necessary for hosting out
the long line of rods, and for lowering
them, again to resume drilling,
amounted to eight hours. The weight
OF the long line of rods required for
this drilling, as 1900 feet, was 10 tons.
III HOlStlHS, lHeSe fOuS were handled
by the hosting engine and drum
forming a part of the regular drill
equipment. A rs inch steel cable was
used for handling the rods, running
over two sheaves, a three-foot run
ming sheave and four-foot stationary
sheave at the top of the derrick. The |
hole bored was true and straight |
showing no deviation from the per- |
pendicular.
As noted in October, 1916, Mine and
Quarry. only three to four thousand
drill holes are recorded in North Am
erica which have reached depth as
great as 5000 feet. One of these was
bored in the Warren district of Ari-
IONA, to depth of 5000 feet, one in
Alberta to depth of 5000 feet, one in
northern Michigan to approximately |
the same depth, and another in north
ern Michigan to 3475 feet. All of these
holes were put down with Sullivan |
drills.
