Vital World
Minerals Hit
By w ar Needs

At the 30th Indian Science Con
gress meeting in Calcutta, 1913, the
congress president, D. N. Wadia, ad-
dressed the congress under the
title of Minerals Share In the
War" This excellently written adj
dress appears as the main article in
the magazine Science" the official
organ of the American Association
for the Advancement of Science.
The writer sounds an alarm for
the rapid depletion of the earth's
mineral and metal resources
through the malicious waste and
widespread ravages of totalitarian
warfare Metals such as tin have al
most reached the depletion stage.
The worlds coal reserves are larger
but they will last only few dec
AIDES.
This well known scientist of In
dia advocates that the goal of all
nations be "a wise and Justly
planned mineral policy framed by
an international directorate which
can preserve peace and goodwin
amongst countries uneQually en-
dowed by nature with mineral
wealth" In other words, minerals
should be rallying point for inter
national cooperation and goodwill.

Zinc Supply
OF Nation Up.
Report Shows

For the first time since May,
1892, censorship regulations
were lifted this week TO dis
close that the nations supply
of zinc is mounting steadily
and is apparently sufficient to
end all fears of shortage.
At the end of last month stocks
of slab zinc had risen to new
high of 1883 tons. When censor
ship was clamped down May 81,
1912, supplies had reached low
point of 18,447 TONS Slab zinc i'm
ports and zinc in concentrate form
owned by the government were not
included in the total.
Refined copper stocks at yearend
are expected to aggregate about
100000 tons and probably will be
augmented substantially in jan
uary.
Trade sources said lead demand
remained good and is more than
sufficient to take care of domestic
and foreign production available to
the United States.
Current output of plates, sheets
and light structural shapes is virtu-
ally all furnished to the shipbuild-
ing and construction concerns for
landing barges.

Altered Stockpiling
Bill Is Introduced

After careful consideration and
revision of Senator James G. Scrug-
hams stockpiling bill, S. 1160, by
subcommittee of the senate COM
mittee on mines and mining, 1t was
decided to reintroduce the bill in
its new form because of the extern
sive changes involved.
The new bill was introduced by
Senator Scrugham for himself and
Senators Carl Hayden, James E.
Murray chairman of the senate
small business committee), Edwin
Johnson of Colorado, and Burnett
r. Maybank. Senator Scrughan is
chairman of the subcommittee on

Under the terms of the bill, min
eral production from domestic
sources will receive preferential
treatment; and only if the pur-
poses specified cannot be fulfilled
from domestic sources may new
foreign purchases be made.

January q, % and %.
At this meeting, wartime prob
lens of the industry will be dis
cussed by mining men of the west,
in conference with officials Of the
war agencies concerned with metal
and mineral production and with
congressional representatives from
the mining states.
Current policies of the war pro-
duction board and of other agencies;
anticipated requirements for the
various minerals; metal prices and
quotas: manpower supply; machin-
cry and equipment for the mines;
problems of gold and silver; stock
piling policies and legislation, and
questions of mine taxation will be
featured prominently in the SEES
sions.
The needs of western mining, es-
sential to its about performance in
the war program, will be fully con-
sidered, and there will be special
round table meetings to give de-
tailed attention to the present and,
future of each of the metals.
The American Mining Congress
was originally founded in Denver
in 1898 and the last meeting of the
western division to be held in that
city was in 1886 The Colorado Min
ing association, as host to the con-
ference, is merging it's traditional
meeting with that of the Mining
Congress. Mining men from all
parts of the west and in fact
throughout the nation will thus
have an opportunity to enjoy the
well known hospitality of Colo
RADIO, and to attend the famous
''Sowbelly Dinner" which will be
the eliminating event of the meet
ing.

Anaconda Develops
New Troining Pl0n

A practical and tested system of
training underground miners has
been developed by the Anaconda
Copper Mining Co at its mines at
Butte, and booklet describing the
system in minute detail has been
prepared for the bureau of training
of the war manpower commission.
The facts that the labor supply is
critical and that the present-day
miner is doing specialized work,
rather than the all-around jobs of
the old Cousin Jack, force the min
ing companies to tackle the prob
lem of green labor in a new way.
The Anaconda plan trains new men,
quickly and safely, without inter-
rupting mine routine. 1t has been
followed successfully in the Butte
mines for over nine months.
