the defense plants will be put in
grease as stand-bys for the next
war. A lot of schools and hos
pitfalls may have to be given TO
the communities which they now
serve. Some Of the camps, forts
and airports which must be kept
for national defense. can be
turned into parks.
The airport situation Is in part
self-liquidating. OF the $40 big
airfields built or enlarged under
Civil Aeronautics Administra-
ton at cost OF some $400.000,-
900, many were located where
they would serve civilian and
commercial flying after the war.
Sites were acquired by munich
palities, which were leased to
the Army Air Forces. After the
war, these fields will return 10
the cities, with the provision that
the air forces can release them
in case of emergency. There are
5000 military fields, and
CAA estimates the need at twice
that many for the $4,000 COM
mercial planes and the 100000
private planes which should be
flying around 1850. Maybe that
will soak up part of the govern
ment's surplus real estate, too.

POSTWAR PLANE TRIPS

While the hows and who's Of post-wor ovation

Airwoys is looking ahead. In foct the company hos
fixed up timetable for round-the-word flights be-
ginning July IS, l948
Round trip to London, Sl86 30; 348 hours.
There will be five flights doy out Of New York.
You will olso be able to get five planes for Moscow
or 10 day for Rio de Jonero, both flights taking
about l9 hours ond costing around $3.50 round trip.
There ore olso schedules and prices for Pors Fair
banks, Singapore, Berlin, Cairo = practically any,
where you might want to go. Even Tokyo.
Wonderful, isn't it2 But olreody begins to
sound little pokey. The other doy Howard Hughes
flew some 200 miles in less thon seven hours and
in q ship built for commercial airline. Four years
from now even thot speed will probobIy have been
bettered
So in July '48 we may be soyin9 "Yes. we're tax
ina that overnight plane to London. Thirteen hours,
but the meals ore wonderful and my wife wants to

Idaho Mineral
Output Shows
Slight Decline

Idaho ores and graveIs i'm 1913
yielded gold, silver, copper, lead,
and zinc valued at $43,D10, 180, a
5 percent loss from 1912, accord
ing to the Salt Lake City office of
the bureau of mines. The output
of each metal was less than that
in 1912; however, the value of the
zinc output was greater, owing to
the higher average price of the
metal.
The outstanding features of the
year in metal mining In Idaho
were the completion in April OF
the Bunker Hill G. Sullivan zInc
slag-fuming plant at Bradley; com
pletion in May of the 2,OO0-ton
zinc-lead falling plant at Osburn
by the Hecla Mining Co; discovery
in June of high-grade silver-lead
ore in the Chester vein of the Sun
shine mine IN the DRY Belt" sec
ton of the Occur d'AIene region;
the gradual depletion of zinc-lead
ore IN the Hecla mines and the In
crease In zinc-lead ore reserves at
the Bunker Hill & Sullivan mine
Zinc from new sources (the zinc
slag-fuming plant and the Osburn
tailings) substantially increased in
1913 the total output of zinc from
the Occur d'Alene region.
A shortage of labor existed
throughout the year at all critical
metal districts in Idaho, especially
at zinc-lead mines in the Occur
d'Alene region. This shortage be
came so acute during the summer
months, resulting In drop In zinc
and lead production, that the army
was called upon again to furIough
soldiers to the base metal mines
Mines in Idaho received 424 sol
diers compared with shortage OF
lbs miners.
