Description

The lead industry in 1915 made good gains in output, both ia mining and smelting. The lead content of ore mined in the United States was apparently over 600,000 short tons, compared with 522,864 tons in 1914, an increase of 78,000 tons, or 15 per cent. With the higher prices prevailing the percentage of increase in value of the 1915 output was even greater as compared with other years. During 1915 construction was begun on one lead smelter and plans were completed for another, both to treat ore from the Coeur d'Alene district of Idaho. The Hercules Mining Co. purchased the copper smelter at Northport, Wash., and began the construction of two lead furnaces. This company is affiliated with the Pennsylvania Smelting Co. of Pittsburgh, Pa. The Bunker Hill & Sullivan Co. of the Coeur d'Alene district also completed plans for a smelter, but the site is yet in abeyance. The National refinery of the American Smelting & Refining Co. at Chicago, was dismantled, and the Balbach Smelting & Refining Co. abandoned its older lead plant at Newark, N. J. 9 p.
