TARIFF ON TIN.
Representative of A. S. G. r. Tells
Why Protect It,


William Loeb. Jr.. of the American
Smelling & Refining company, ap-
peared before the committee in sup
port of a duty of 1Oc per pound on tin
in bars, blocks pigs or other metallic
form and a duty of &c per pound on
tin in ores He pointed out that no
duty is needed on tin and ores for
protection purposes, due to the alb
sence of tin deposits in the United
States which can be worked CONNER
cially. He suggested the duty, how
ever. as a source of revenue. The rates
of duty which he proposed will have
a revenue yield of $4,000 900 per an
mum. he estimated. This protection
Mr.. Loeb testified will enable Ameri-
can tin producers to compete on equal
terms for tin ores from Bolivia, the
one source of supply now available
and free He said it would enable
American interests to trade a larger
bolivian output and a consequent in
creased production of domestic refin-
ed tin. He also called attention to the
fact it would aid in an effort to enter
the Chinese field with the view of
opening another source of supply of
raw material.

Zinc--Market and MetalIurgy 1920


The zinc industry suffered from thu
general economic conditions of 1920
Early in the year production was
maintained at a high rate. although
much below the maximum during the
war. In view of the bad situation as
to zinc production in Europe it was
anticipated that the United States
would be called upon TO export at the
least 100, 900 tons of spelter during
1920 In fact, buying for export be-
gan as was expected, and for several
months continued on a large scale. but
at about the midyear this ceased and
Europe began presently to resell to us
our own spelter. Following this the
price which had risen to about Sc as
the maximum for the year. declined,
about 81 being quoted at the end of
November The contraction in dom
este demand was such that in spite
of greatly curtailed production unsold
stocks accumulated.
The production of zinc in Europe in
1920 was small in comparison with
pre-war figures, but it became clear
that the European ability TO buy spell
ter was greatly inferior even to the
sharply diminished supply This sit
nation, combined with the high cost
of production and general inefficiency
that were prevalent produced deep
gloom in the zinc industry.
The conditions in zinc smelling in
the United states in 1920 are well re-
Elected by the following figures from
a well managed works: As compared
with 1915 the man days of labor re-
quired to smelt a ton of ore had in
creased by ~ per cent. The hourly
rate of wages had increased , 2-3
times The metallurgical loss of zinc
in the process had increased nearly so
per cent. In other words. the smelt-
ing of a ton of ore in 1920 required
more labor than in 1915. the labor was
paid an immensely increased rate of
wages. and. whereas it had previously
obtained IS per cent of the zinc in
distillation the extraction had fallen
to about 80 per cent
The increase in the cost of coal was
of the same order as the increase in I
wages. AS for the total cost of smelt- /
ing if the figures of SO to $12 per ton /
of ore were representative of 1915, the /
corresponding figures of 1920 were S25 /
to $50. In spite of this. zinc was sold
largely during the first half of 1920 at
71kc per pound, which is comparable
with SIC as a pre- war normal price.
This apparent paradox is explained by
the ability of the relatively new mines
of Oklahoma to produce concentrates
from their comparatively rich ore at
pre-war prices notwith-
standing the immensely higher costs
for mining.
The first half of 1920 saw the climax
Of evil conditions in the zinc industry.
The demands Of labor were then in
satiable and strikes among the smell
ters were common occurrences. With
the unmistakable turn of the indus
trial tide about October I. however, a
change in the attitude of labor became
The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1921-02-17

, manifest. the first evidence of it be-
ing improvement in efficiency.
Without any doubt the most import t.
ant thing in the metallurgy of zinc in
1920 was the thorough proving of the
electrolytic process. When this pro-
cess was first introduced in 1916. l
prophesied its success and its enorm-
Gus influence on zinc production, but
] foresaw its limitations TO especially
favorable conditions. My forecast has
been exactly verified by experience In
the meanwhile great improvements
have been made in the process. For
Xample, it has become possible so to
roast the ore that no sulphuric acid
is required for the liXiviation of the
zinc. The removal of impurities in
terfering with the electrolysis has be-
come much more easily manageable.
And so on. In the light of these de-
velopments the limitations of the cleo
/ trolytic process do not seem to me to
be so severe as they did four years
gao In other words. I can now see
the electrolytic process as more
powerful competitor of distillation.
However the factors remain that the
electrOlytic process must be conducted
on a large scale and the cost of plant
per unit of capacity is greater than
that of the ordinary plant
The roasting of zinc ore for the
electrolytic process is done generally
in furnaces of the MacDougall type.
These are built now for such conser-
walton of heat and such transferal of
heat by the circulation of air through
the furnace as 7 showed should be
the case in my U. s patent No 1856, /
SCI of April a. 1905. Carrying out
these ideas with the addition Of some
others of ingenious nature. the Wedge /
Mechanical Furnace company is now
building a furnace in which it ex-
poets to dead-roast zinc blende with !
out the assistance of any extraneous /
heat theoretically this is possible.
In the distillation process the i'm
provements have continued to be in
details only. This is natural, for the
process is one that comprises a null
tiplicity of details.
Electrothermic smelling has contin-
ued to be practiced successfully at
one works in Norway and at another
in Sweden. A third plant, at Glom-
ford, Norway. was put into operation
in the latter part of 1920. In all of
these works the gangue of the ore is
fused and drawn off as a Stag. as in
lead smelling. Prof c. Fl. Fulton, in
this country, has experimental on
large scale with elecrothermic dry
os to speak His ideas Z
seem to me to possess more merit
than do the Scandinavian.
In the production of zinc oxide
there have been noteworthy improve
ments. The New Jersey Zinc com
oany is burning in its Wetherill fur
laces a briquetted charge. This has ,
been found to increase the extraction
If zinc and reduce the requirements
or coal and labor at only a rela-
lively small expense for briquetting. t

LIE o HAIL FUND

Anti-farmer papers, editorially at
lacking the Bank Of North Dakota
"for not paying it's debts" a ~baldfaced
lie these papers repeat day in out,
claim that If Hcttinger county were
paid the hail losses due it, it might
not be so hard up, and SO forth and so
on. y
Well, these Organs stated that the
state hail fund owed Hetsinger coun-
ty farmers $73,698 for 1920 hail loss
es. AS a matter of exactness, the
amount due them was STE, 1896. 81.
There they stopped however.
So, what do the books of the hail
fund show a to Hettinger county
claims? First, Hettinger county still
owes the hail fund $4,000 for 1919
premiums( assessments and $333,428.-
IA for 1920 premiums. The 1920 as
sessment of Hettinger for hail prem
iums was S56,157.29 on which it paid
$22,729.15.

to be blamed for this condition, but

WAS NOT BROKE

When the Women's Nonpartisan
clubs challenged the Ivas to publish,
as the League was doing their cam
paign fund collections and the names
of contributors Two Bit Nelson and
company WEIGHED and declared they
were broke, saying 1--WE have had only
$4,000 since started the recall" What
became of Velie's contribution and
like donations from the Twin Cities2
That there was not a word of truth
in this assertion Of the Iva bosses that
they were broke is proven by two sim
pie facts.
First, the Twas claim they have bot
ten over $4,000 signatures to their re-
call petitions. Unless they just sat
down in the back room of some hotel
and signed on the petitioners them
selves, which would be just like them,
these signatures alone cost more than
$4,000, for $4,000 names at ten cents
each totals $1,000.
Second, the postage bill in Fargo
alone must have run over $500 q day
to say nothing Of stationery, printing,
clerical help, etc, so that to date the
Fargo office Of the Ivas can not have
spent less than $4,000 for postage
alone. These two items by themselves
equal four times the amount the Twas
say they got out Of their dupes.
But the expense Of the recall began
long before the Iva bosses am out
in the open, for, il you will remember

ASK THE 1. ". A. BANKERS

School children, ask the I. v. A.
bankers, when they come to your
school explaining. the mysteries of
banking, these questions:
First, why should interest rates go
UP when the prices Of farm products,
wages and salaries are going DOWN?
Second, why merchants, farmers,
wage and salary workers all should
"take a loss" on their goods and labor
while the bankers take no loss on
their mortgages and interest?
Don't be bashful. The bankers know
no more about banking thon you do.

BURKE BANKERS "EFFICIENT'.
There is no doubt that the bankers
of Burke county are. a most "Effic-
lent" set Of, well, say, moneyleggers,
as a recent trial in Judge loves
court proves.
1t will be remembered that this
gang Of Burke bankers were among
the first to jump on the Bank of
North Dakota with a garnishment suit
after the credit-wrecking I..Y. A.
laws had been adopted, and that they
were always strong on telling farm
ers in their section. Eve would like
to help you out, old man but the Bank
Of North Dakota has all our money
and won't let us have it. You remem-

More was yet to be shown up on
these super-high financiers, however
for it came out in the trial that there

out Of 100000 of seed and feed bonds
that had been sold by Burke county,
and the bankers Of Burke had. sailed
this down in their ledgers also. This
left Burke county a little hardnap, but
just think how hard up she would have
been If she had not had the bankers
to give her free advice
