dc.descriptionIn 1923 the attention of engineers was first directed to the Emmet Mercury Boiler, and much interest was aroused by the statement that tests conducted at Hartford, Conn., had demonstrated that the substitution of mercury for water resulted in a saving of nearly 50 per cent in fuel. Since the Hartford installation required 30,000 pounds of mercury and the production of the entire world for the preceding fifteen years had hardly been sufficient to supply half of the high pressure boilers in the United States alone, it seemed possible that the demand for mercury might be suddenly increased and that the price might advance. Consequently, officials of the United States Bureau of Mines endeavored to collect data relating to potential undeveloped sources of mercury in this country, and the Director of the Bureau attempted to obtain, through E. D. Gardner, Superintendent of the Southwestern Experiment Station of the Bureau, information concerning the mercury resources of Arizona. A consultation with the writer brought out the fact that, although mercury ore was known to exist at several places in the State, and a small quantity of the metal had been produced, reliable data bearing on the extent and commercial value of the deposits were not available. 112 p.
