WAR HELPED ZINC INDUSTRY
Remarkable Impetus Given to the
Mining and Refining of the
Mineral in Japan.

The high-Water mark in the devel-
Opment of zinc mining and refining in
Japan has been reached since the out
break Of the present war;. Zinc was
first mined in commercial way in
1897, but even as late at 1911 the out
put was still only about 10000 tons
The refining of the ores was not start
ed on large scale until 1914. The
rising quotations of the metal in all
: markets gave the industry great i'm
pet1s in Japan, so that in 1915 p 200
tons of refined goods and in 1916 49,
600 tons We're produced. 1t is eSti-
mated that the production in 1917 to-
tailed some $1,000 tons. 1t is said
that the refin2rieS can produce as
high as 100000 tons a year, but as
this takes some 100000 tons of zinc
ore the problem before Japan is to
obtain 100000 tons of ore in foreign
markets, as only $4,000 tons are mined
in japan. In the past Japan has bought
ore from China, Australia and Russia.
the greater, part of the ore, however,
coming from Australia. 1t has been
reported that Great Britain plans re-
finery in Australia in order to produce
zinc in that portion Of her empire. If
true, this, it is said, may force Japan
to seek her raw material in some other
market.

the County Treasurer's report show
ing all monies collected and receiv-
ed by him and disbursements there
for from May IL, 1917 to Dec. 81,

reading for all the taxpayers of the
county who are always anxious to
know where their money goes. The
last report convered the time up to
April 26, 1916. So from this date
to May IL, 1917 there will have
been no published report from the
Treasurer, but We suppose this per-
iod will be published later as the
taxpayers are always eager to read
such reports.
