NEVADA NOW SURE
OF CYANIDE
SUPPLY
CONTRACTS ARE CLOSED FOR
DELIVERY OF LARGE
QUANTITY

Guaranteeing IN adequate supply
OF cyanide for the operation of the
mining industry in this state, a
contract has been secured from the
factories by the Nevada Mine Oper-
etor's Association for 1900 tons of
the chemical to be supplied during
the year. Henry M. Rives, the sec
rotary of the association, announced
today. This will be the product of
the American factories now COM
rleted, and able to supply all of the
cyanide that will be needed.
Under the contract for the COM
Ing year, the price to be paid for
the chemical has not been fixed for
any definite period, the Nevada
operators paying the market price
which will be controlled by the cost
Of the raw materials entering in the
manufacture of the product. The
present market price is thirty cents
q pound yer the price paid under
this years contract.
While the price will be higher
during the coming rear the short
age of the chemical which following
the cutting off of the product as a
result of the war, will not be cut
in the opinion of Secretary Rives,
who says he has word that the local
factories for turning out a supply
which will be adequate for the needs
of the country and for Mexico, have
been finished and put in operation.
Nevada, according to figures on
land in the office of the association,
will spend from a million to a mil
lion and a quarter for the cyanide
used in her mining industries dur
ing 1918.
While the price for the coming
year is above that which has been
paid, there Is no indication that the
supply will be limited, the price be-
ing put up this year due to increased
cost of materials in the manufacture
Of cyanide rather than from any
scarcity.
The big plants which have been
put up in this country since the
war. are now in operation, and we
are informed by the Eastern sour
ces of mining information that all
that will be needed for the mining
industries of America and for Mexi-
co as well, will be available.
Our contract this year is not for
any set price, but merely for an
assurance hat we will be able to
get all the cyanide we need in the
mining industries. We will pay the
market price for it, this price being
regulated by the cost of manufac-
turing the product. RENO Gazette.

De necessary to depend upon Chile,
with the constant fear that in times
OF wal the supply may be cut off by
a hostile fleet. Even If in peace
times the plant is not able to COM
pete with Chile as a source of nitric
acid itself, it can do so in fertilizer
material and this country will have
the security that in war time the
Eitrates can be made here.
With the present sharp decrease
in available ship tonnage and the
partial shutting down in shipments
from Spain of iron pyrites, used II.

the bureau of mines was called up
on to find the most available pyrite

time.
it is stated by the bureaus ex-
perts that an American industry
supplied entirely by American ray
material may be the permanent out
come.
Manganese, used for the produc-
ton Of high-grade steel, is another
valuable peace and war mineral that
the bureau has been endeavoring to
find in great quantities in this coun-
try, the steel industry being at pre-
sent dependent on Brazil for this
ore. 1t has taken quite a fleet of
so~rely-needed vessels to bring this
ore to the United States.
w. c.. Phalen, mineral technolo-
gist of the bureau, has already visit
ed the chief manganese producing
divisions of the country, and his
report is that a considerable pro-
portion of the nations require
flents can be supplied. So promis-
ing is this situation, it is intimated
that some of the vessels now carry
ing ore from Brazil may soon be
released for other vital purposes.
1t now looks very much as if the
United States has already perman-
emily established a potash industry
as a result of Germany cutting off
her shipments long before this coun-
try went to war. Having depended
heavily upon Germany, which has
a great natural deposit of potash,
this country was at once thrown up
on its own resources for this neces-
sary material, and bureau experts,
in cooperation with those of other
bureaus, started to find. If possible,
the raw material in this country.
Such success has attended their
effort, especially in obtaining potash
from the dust of cement mills, that
it is declared the United States will
no longer be dependent upon any
foreign country for it's essential pot
ash supply.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. IL
The United States, under the dire
stress of world war, is awakening to
new commercial possibilities in the
way of new industries that will buy
tneir raw materials in this country
instead of importing them as in the
past, adding thousands of men to
the payrolls and keeping millions
OF dollars here, according to the
annual report of Van H. Manning,
director of the bureau of mines. de-
partment of the interior.
The report discloses the extent
the military authorities have to de-
pend in modern warfare upon the
mineral industry and indicates in a
ca utious way the part being taken
by the bureau of mines in obtaining
a sufficient supply of mineral essen
tails from American mines and
American metallurgical plants.
Experts from the bureau have
searched the country far and wide
fol the metals that would add
strength to the military arm of
Uncle Sam and have reported in
IlCst instances not only an abun-
dance of these materials but have
added that these same metals, EN-
rloyed also in peaceful industry,
can be used to build up permanent
Industries in the United States,
perhaps destroying for all time the
dependence of the United States
upon foreign countries for necessary
raw material.
These new industries have already
shown such growth as to add ma
terially to the American output and
to bring about a diminishing impor-
tation of raw materials. This con-
ditlon, according to bureau of mines
officials, is equivalent to the pro-
duction of new tonnage for the use
of the United States, as many YES
sells now bringing in raw materials
from foreign countries can be used
for more pressing war purposes.
1t may seem paradoxical that the
bureau of mines, created originally
Tor saving life in the mines, becomes
in war time an active aid in the
prosecution of the military aims of
the United States, but here are
some of the illustrations:
The bureau, cooperating with the
War department, sem c.. l.. Par
sons, chief chemist, to Europe to
investigate processes used there in
the manufacture of %nitrates, neces-
sary in large quantities in war time
in the making of explosives, and
also used for fertilizer. His report
and recommendation were adopted
in substance by the committee on
nitrate supply, and a large plant for
the production of nitric acid for war
purposes and ammonia for agricul-
tlral purposes is in process of cree
ton.
# this plant does what the x
rerts hope it will do, all of the nj
tra.es needed by the United States,
