The Uses of Zinc

The visible supply of other
base metals is diminishing,
ZINC is coming to the rescue,
First to galvanize or coat and
save other metals from rust or
decay. Second, as a substitute
for the diminishing metals,
Then there are other uses for
which it alone can serve. It's
adaptability is remarkable. In
mechanical arts, in chemical
processes, in electricity and in
art it is a vital necessity. Con
slider a few of its uses.
Aluminum-zinc alloys, au-
tomobile tires, brass making,
bronze making, boiler preserv-
alton, castings, chemicals and
medicines, cyanide process in
recovering precious metals,
dyes, de-silvering, dentistry,
electric plating, galvanic bat
teries, galvanizing, glue, gun
shells, household articles, nails,
paints and pigments, photo
engraving, roofing, sheet zinc,
statuary, structural iron pre-
servation, telephones, substi-
tute for tin, tombstones, type
metal, etc.
The uses of ZINC will mul-
tiply vastly in number. The
present production of ZINC is
far below the normal needs.
It's uses are becoming better
known. Its production must be
increased more rapidly than
any other metal to keep pace
with demand. Money and
brains are going strong into
/ ZINC. This means a reorgani.
cation of the industry to secure
greater efficiency.
Greater efficiency means i'm
proved processes to increase re.
covery from ore-the elimina.
ton of waste-the elimination
of middlemen between the
mine and the consumer, such
as buyers, brokers, jobbers
etc. Greater efficiency means
the utilization of by-producti
which have formerly been con
sidered waste. This reorgani

At the outset, the Consoli-
dated Zinc and Smelling Com
pany has three going produc-
ing mines and mills. One more,
the famous Emma Gordon, is
being made ready for opera
ton soon with greatly increas-
ed capacity. The report of j.
l.. Hawthorne shows a total of
$18,000,000 in ore blocked out
in the Consolidated properties
seventeen shafts are in ore
and approximately 10000 feet
of drift or tunnels have thoro-
ughly opened up and blocked
out the ore. About 1876 drill
holes in ore prove vast addi-
tional ore bodies.
Three other mills have been
bought for removal to three
sites now ready. Four more
sites are ready for the erection
of four additional mills. Thus,
the Consolidated Zinc g. Smelt-
ing Company plans to operate
at least eleven mills on adjoin-
ing properties. Under the plans
of the Company, these eleven
mills will have an average pro-
duction, by running double
shift, of 600 tons Of ore per
day, or a total for the eleven
mills of $500 tons per day.
From time to time as new prop
critics may be added, this pro
duction will be increased. 1t is
interesting to figure the finan-
cial returns on this production.
On an average production of
600 tons of ore per day for each
of eleven mills, four now up,
three to be moved to new loca-
tions and the four to be built,
we would have a total capacity
of $500 tons of ore per day.

- Speed up! Increase produc-
hon. Cut out the waste. Lower
the cost. We want efficiency.
The whole world is being re-
organized. Industry as well as
Governments are demanding a
growth founded upon stability
and efficiency. The evolution
Of Governments and the evolu-
hon of business is the evolution
Of thought.
Modern business is the great
achievement of thought and is
vet in the building. Its great
est and ever constant problem
Is how to make each minute Of
passing time yield material and
results which shall endure the
longest time.
The foundation of industry
Is metal. These are commonly
divided into two classes-the
precious and the base. Each has
It's distinctive utility. Among
the baser metals, iron is most
widely used. Next to iron in
value and use is ZINC. In time
iron will rust and disintograte.
But ZINC will not. = en-

Profits from
Smelling

1t is estimated that clear
profit of $4,000 per ton may
be found in each ton Of ore
turned into finished products
and have in addition a profit of
$1,000 to $14,O0 per ton from
the sulphuric acid produced.

a ton Of sulphuric acid, the base
Of all other commercial acids
and the solvent in making farm
fertilizers.
All these things can be done
in one organization. All the
profits made from each proc
ess and hundreds Of economies
and savings realized-why ship
the ore, the metal, the plates
and bars and stock forms and
the acids to different places
and the finished products to
brokers, jobbers and other mid
dlemen? Why not finish the

would show an annual net
profit to the Company Of 49,

The Consolidated Zinc and
Smelling Company plans the

the mining and milling Of ore.
Thus, there will accrue to one
corporation the profits from
all branches in Zinc produc-
ton. From the mine to the con-
sumer, the metal will pass
through one organization.
After coming from the smelt-
ing furnaces, the molten ore is
poured off and moulded into
shapes resembling, and called,

rolled into shells or plates or
melted again and spun down

WOMEN ARE GOOD MECHANICS.

According to a report Of the national industrial
conference board, women in wartime employment
are showing a remarkable adaptability for ma
chine shop work. The report summarizes infor-
ma ton obtained from 131 establishments employ
ing 335,O15 men and 49,S23 women and including
1O,657 women engaged in, work formerly per-
formed exclusively by men. '.''t -" - 4, /, y.
Their labor, says the Christian Herald, has
ranged from the operation Of drill presses and
lathes to coremakng, inspecting and assembling
mechanical products and performing many pre-
else machine operations In the main it has been
confined to the lighter processes requiring rapid
ity and dexterity, and in such work their output
has proved equal to and frequently greater than
that of male employees This was notably true
tf women's work in automobile manufacture and
in munition plant manufacturing fuses, where
women operatives on drill presses and milling
machines were from % to SO per cent more rapid
than men. ~ .+ III - .

EASTERN TROUBLES
Many Reasons for Lack Of Interest,"
 May Vote Monday to Disband- Poor Attendance and High Salaries.

New Haven, July 13,-Thc calling of a meeting of the Eastern associa- ]. ton club owners at the Hotel Taft Monday afternoon seems to point to the fact that the circuit will conclude matters for the season and possibly until the end of the war. Although the magnates have not expressed themselves that such will be the case, i. in fact, several of them have been quoted in favor of finishing out the @ @schedule the disbanding of the league seems to be the only logical outcome.
 Baseball has not prospered this season in the Eastern, in fact it has been g losing proposition in most of the minor leagues, and already, with
 the season less than half over sev- eral of them have passed into the discard. And the reasons are many for the lack of interest in the Ma tional pastimc, and it is not because the public does not want baseball. The game has always been the pre- mier sport of this great country, and the supposit1on that the public does not want baseball is ridiculous. But it must be taken into consideration that there IS a small percentage of the fans at liberty nowadays to see the games. With the work or fight" order in effect, intuition factories working overtime, and in fact almost every business running more or less shorthanded, it is small wonder that # the attendance is not what it has been in former years. And then one must consider that over million of our boys are on the other side and nupwards of double that number are
 in training camps here and these
 were just the people who were the
 knain supports of baseball, the young
 br generation.
 Big salaries are another reason
 that keeps people away from the ball
 parks the munitions workers being
 most affected in this respect. For ex-
 ample, many mon are earning two
 nnd three times their former salaries,
 and they are getting it while the get
 ting is good. To take an afternoon { off to see a ball game lessens the heft
 of the pay envelope on Saturday Knight, consequently baseball suffers.
 Still another reason is the lack sof playing material. With many of Afhe players in the service and in the
 shipyard leagues, and many others in Hines of employment where more of
 Ia future is offered them than can be
 found in baseball the quality of the
 oastime has deteriorated, this being
 Especially true in the minors, for
 1nany players have graduated to the
 majors and 1t has been almost inn
 possible to fill the positions as well. 3 Taken all in all, there are many
 reasons why the public is not SUD-
 porting baseball, but it can hardly be
 said that they don't want it. The
 trouble is, they haven't the time.
