into wire or ingots or bars. Brass and bronze, slch as are found in the bases ot electric lamps, brass and copper trim mings and sEavings, cartridge shells and old pipes command a ready sale in the junk market, and we get copper also from moldlng sard of brass foundries from the ashes of brass furnaces and from the flue dust. Much of the copper waste is briquetted ana then treated in the cop per blast furna ces, yielding an alloy of about S6 per cent copper This is re- lined, but there are other metals lost in the fumes. There is single shelter near New York that recovers from junk 100000 pounds of copper year.
 vast deal of copper which former ly foated away in the waters from the shelter and concentrating plants is now being saved. Now the water is carried over troughs half filled with scrap iron, and the copper goes out of the water and sticks to the iron Every two weeks or so the scrap is taken out of the troughs and the cop per brushed or scraped off into bar rels, after which the iron goes back to gather copper again. Millions of pounds of copper are saved in that way every year. It is estimated that s50,000,000 worth of copper went out with the tailings from certain low grade copper mines of the Rockies in 1914. They are now putting up leach ing plants to save this. The Utah Cop per company has teaching grounds covering 5000 acres; and there is one copper mine in Michigan which for 50 years has been pouring it's tailings into Lake Linden. During that time it is estimated that more than 10000, 900 tons of tailings have gone into the lake, and that these tailings contain something like 640,000,000 pounds of copper, which at present prices would be worth something like $200,000,00 They are trying to recover these val ues; teaching plants have been con structed and the lake sands are being worked over. At the present speed it will take them 40 years to handle the copper sand now in the lake.
 Much of the worlds copper now mined is of a very low grade With the

on the landscape. Today at the best plants the slag is all saved. At the great steel mills of Alabama they crush it to powder with huge balls of steel which are raised by magnet, and from the powder make some of the most valuable fertilizer In the Illi- nois steel plant of South Chicago they turn the slag into cement, which is used for the finest concrete work and which is fit for the concrete ships now being constructed as a part of our war bridge across the Atlantic. Mill lions of barrels of cement are now made from slag in one year.
 In addition to the iron saved at the mills, more than ever before is now being saved at the mines. The richest iron mines upon earth are those about Eake Superior They are supplying the most of the steel for the war, and for years they have been the chief founGation of American industry. They produce millions of tons of ore every month, and the deposits seem to be almost ineXhaustible. Neverthe- less they are being most carefully mined. Every little pocket and mug get of ore is taken out of the beds, and the ore which is of a grade too low to ship is piled up outside the mines in order that it may be saved for the future. It used to be that every great gold mine had it's dump or waste heap. That day has gone by and the dumps are being worked over for the minerals left in them. This is so not only of gold. silver and copper, but also of iron and coal The losses in coal mining are, beyond eon- ception. enormous and the same is true of the coal after it gets to the homes and the factories. I have writ ten of the billions of dollars that an- nualiy go up in coal smoke; of how We are saving fortunes hv the use of by-product coke ovensa and have sug- gested municipal heating rAnrs s,t which our domestic coal bills would be cut down 30 per cent. coal now coked in the old baking ovens were coked in by y-proauct ovems the carbon saved would equal over 100000 horse power.
 The loss of the coal in the mines is estimated by the experts of the

geological survey as being one-third or one-half as much as the amount taken out. Charles L. Parsons, one of the experts of the bureau of mines. anthracite and 5000, 900, 900 of bitumi- nous coal is lost in the mining and that fully one-half of the anthracite Is not taken out. Another expert fig ures that fully 100000 GOO tons of anthracite and 5000. .000,00 of bitumi- nous coal have been left in the ground and that a large part of this comes from the fact that the mining has been carelessly done That amount of coal, at our present consumption, would last for eight years or more; and if it could be put in the market at the present prices it's actual value would be more than the amount we have already spent on the war Mucb of this loss comes from pillars which have been left to support the roofi of the mines and much from coal left in thin beds because other mines o- parts of the mine could be more prof tably worked
 At the present time something like 8o.0G0,0o0 tons of anthracite is being left behind in the mines, every year. and that in such a way that it cannot he recovered The annual loss of bituminous coal is probably greater, the total loss of all coal deposits being equal to something like s1,000.0o0 for every working day in the year. It's value is enough to build a structure as large and fine as our Library of Congress- every week, and to recon struct the Panama canal in less than year and half The worst of it is that this is a dead loss. A bad wheat crop can be replaced the year follow ing, but it takes thousands of years to grow one crop of coal, and the geological seeds of the crop cannot be planted by man.
 Nevertheless, we are saving more and more every year from the scrap heap of coal. We are getting a greater fuel value out of that we burn in the furnaces, and are saving vastly by using the coal dust and recovering the waste that formerly went out with the smoke. There are now a half dozen coal companies which make equipment for burning pulver- ized coal in suspension and in 1915 there was burned in the United States about 13,000,000 tons of such coal Much of this was used in the Port land cement industry where the pow dered fuel is employed in burning the cement in rotary kilns; and a large part of the reduction works of the
 
 coal is now used in open hearth pud- ding furnaces. By means of the new equipment the cheap Ignite coal. when pulverized. can be efficiently burned and our vast low grade deposits thus can be brought to the use of the na- tion
 We are saving tens of millions of dollars a year from the scrap heaps of the oil wells. The total value of the oil and gas produced in 1914 was more than $300,000 900, and the waste amounted to about one-sixth of that sum. We are doing far better now. We are watching the leaks, plugging the gas wells with mud so that we are able to hold back the gas and still get out the oil; and We are using the cracking process by which we get 200 per cent more gasoline out of crude oil than ever before The bu- reau of mines estimates that Oklaho-

 enough to supply our home needs at
 the normal rate of consumption for
 30 years.
 Since the war began the price Of
 zinc has leaped to the skies Zinc
 united with copper, makes brass, and brass is used by the hundreds of thou 1 sands of tons in arms and munitions
 of war. Along in 1913 zinc was selling
 from s100 to SlS0 ton, and by 1916 | the prices had risen to from more than 1 $200 to over $500 ton. In the former
 year we produced about 315,000 tons l and the output last year was almost
 double as great. Now not only are we working mines to the full, but
 we are getting far more zinc out of
 the ores. We are working lower grade ! ore and saving some of the losses of the smelting and concentration plants. We are trying to save the zinc found
 Tn combination with lead and copper; and are getting up all the zinc scrap we can find and using it over again l Before the war began three-fourths of all the speter or zinc output of Europe l came from Germany, Austria and Bell
 gium and the allies had to depend for 1 their zinc almost wholly upon the smell 1 terS of the United States. They soon ex- l hausted the supply we had on hand and l this caused the opening up of thousands
 of small zinc smelters in Missouri and Kansas, which had been abandoned on
 account of the low prices of the metals
 and the high prices of fuel. In Kansas
 and Oklahoma gas smeters were put into
 use, and at the close of 1915 the zinc was
 coming from more than 150,0o0 retorts and
 about 50,0OO or more were under construc- ! ton.
