The productive lead and zinc ter.
ritory in the Central States natural.
ly falls into seven regions, three ot
which, including two Of the MOS,
productive, are not limited TO an.
single state. Tables showing thu
quantity Of "dirt" treated, the qunn.
tity of each kind Of lead and zinc con.
centrates recovered, and the recover
able content of such concentrates BY
States are desirable, but tables show
ing the production by natural regions
irrespective Of State lines, are also de
sirable.
As stated by J. p. Dunlop, Of tAt
United States Geological Survey, De
partment Of the Interior, the south
eastern Missouri region produced NOR
than rs per cent Of the lead output oi
the Central States in 1917. The pro
duction from Central Missouri was
less than usual, and for convenience
It is included with that Of southeast
ern Missouri. The output Of zinc II
these two regions remained compar'
atively insignificant. The Oklahoma
Missouri and Kansas district produc
ed 22 per cent of the lead and n pc,
cent of the zinc of the Central States
in 1917 and continued to be much the
largest producer of zinc in the United
States.
The Upper Mississippi Valley re-
giOn yielded IL per cent Of the leaC
and about 20.6 per cent Of the zin'
output of the Central States in 1917
Approximately 25,0OO.O0O tons Of
ore was mined and treated to 0btaiT
lead and zinc concentrates valued at
81, ,597, ,763, an increase Of about 6OOI
900 tons in quantity Of ore treated
and of $12, 200, ,0OOin value Of the con
centrates recovered. The average OBJ
tanned by the operators Of lead an'
zinc mines in the Central States PEI
ton of crude ore mined and milled il
1917 was $3.06, an increase Of 80 cent
a ton over 1916. The increase wal
comparatively small and. was NOR
than offset by the increased cost o
mining. Moreover, the increased val
ne was confined entirely to lead con
centrates.
The total value Of lead concentrate
of all classes sold or treated by pro
ducers in the Central States In 1Sl
was SS,5O6,s7s, against $26I07OS2
in 1916. The value Of all zinc cen
centrates sold decreased from $50,
81, 1856 in 1915 to $3o, o,oO0ys 0ysS6 in 1sl
was about 100000 tons more than !
1916.
