LEAD INDUSTRY NEVER BETTER, WITH PRICES
GOOD, DEMAND STEADY

SALT LAKE, Nov. 7.-Proba,
bly, never in the history of the
world has industry faced the same
situation with regard to metal as
it does today with regard to metal
as it does today with regard to
lead. The leading aspects of this
unprecedented situat on can be
summarized as follows.
demand for lead is increas-
ing by leaps and bounds.
2-No new lead mines have
been discovered recently.
3-Substitutes fir this metal so
vital to industry and science in a
multitude of ways are lacking.
Particularly in mining circles
are these topics being given care
full consideration for Utah pros
perity is so int mately related to
the prosperity if the states lead
indusry that the rapidly increas.
ing price f the metal has tremen-
dous significance. Not few
careful students of metal markets
predict that if no new lead mines
are opened up, if demand con-
tinues to increase, if substitutes
are not found, the gray metal will
some day soon be selling on a par
ity with copper.
After a study Of statistics and
a review of the uses for the metal,
it does not require any great
stretch of Imagination to believe
so. For on all sides is the need of
lead growing. Lead goes into
paints. babbit, solder. pipe, roof
ing, printers metal, chemicals,
glass, pottery. enamels and bat
teries. Moreover. it has scores of
other uses to numerous to name
In conduit WORK the need for
lead has greatly increased. For
merly a coating Of one-ouarter of
an inch was sufficient for large
lines. Now. with greatly increased
voltage carried over conduits
three times as much has to be
used
Science has been working long
and arduously to discover cheap
substitutes for lead, but so far as
