Show The Willem Lead Smelter Activities Drop 5 Secondary lead smelter activity in June was atiout 5 percent lower than in the preceding month, according to the Bureau of Mines. United States Department of the Interior. Receipts and consumption of lead-basscrap were each about 2,600 tons less than in May and recovery of usable metal about 2,000 tons less. Lead reclaimed in the first six mopths was estimated at short tons about 4,000 tons under that recovered in the first e 204,-00- 0 half of 1053. Recipients of scrap in June totaled 46,600 tons, of which 28,200 tons (61 percent) were battery-leaplates, 12,200 tons (26 percent) were soft lead and alloy scrap and 6,200 tons (13 percent) were drosses and residues. Battery plate receipts were about 3,600 tons less than in May and soft lead scrap 600 tons, but substantial increases were reported in antimonal, cable and type metal scrap receipts. Smelters consumption of battery plates dropped from 33,000 tons in May to 28,000 tons in June. Although increased use was reported in 8 of the 13 lead-bas- e scrap classes, total consumption decreased 5 percent to 46,200 tons. e of Stocks scrap changed very little during the month. A gain of less than 11 percent brought the month-en0 total to 59,000 tons of which tons were battery-leaplates, LEAD SCRAP: lead-bas- e d lead-bas- d 25,-30- d 10,700 tons were solid scrap and were drosses and residues. in tin-bas- e scrap were the reverse of those in lead-bas- e recorded scrap. Smelters received and consumed more tin scrap than in May and stocks at the end of the month dropped 17 percent to 1,200 tons, about 1,000 tons of which were drosses and residues. PRODUCTION: Output of the secondary lead industry in June totaled 44,500 tons consisting of 33,500 tons of secondary pig metals, 6,500 tons of fabricated products and 4,500 tons of pig, bar and ingot containing 50 percent or more of primary metals. Ap- proximately 9,000 tons of primary metals were used in the production of the 3 classes of products leaving a net recovery of 35,000 tons of secondary lead, tin and antimony. Smelters shipped tons of secondary metals to consumers in June and had this same quantity in inventory on June 30. 33,-10- PERCENTAGE METALS: Remelt and percentage metals within the industry during the month totaled 2,117 tons. Reshipments were divided as follows: 730 tons of solder, 162 tons of lead-bas- e babbit, 502 tons of soft lead, 517 tons of antimo-nia- l lead, 19 tons of cable lead, 138 tons of type metals, 40 tons e babbit and 9 tons of of remelt tin. re-shipp-ed tin-bas- MINING MACHINERY Rental Compressors Complete Drilling Equipment Mine Cars 11 - Eimco 12-- B Muckers Battery Locomotives Slusher and Tugger Hoists Gas and Electric Shalt Hoists Vent Tubing and Blowers 1 (FENCING IN THE MOUNTAIN Buys Claims Fiom Wasatch West Toledo Mines Company recently secured a lease from the Wasatch Mines Company on three mining claims with an area of approximately fifty acres. The property adjoins that of West Toledo and, because of topography, is more favorably located for the development of the West Toledo property than claims to the west. This lease had been under consideration for some time, but certain matters interfered with its execution. By agreement, the West Toledo shaft is on the lease. Work is being conducted by competent miners who are leasing from the West Toledo Mines Company. A recent shipment of 168 tons ore was not as of copper-silve- r as good anticipated but in opento haul that ore, a road the ing lead fissure was discovered and a fifteen-to- n shipment of the ore is now at the smelter. Company officers said it is about sixty dollar ore. A vein of low grade lead ore has also been opened on the surface, perhaps one hundred feet from the aforementioned higher grade fissure. At this time the lessees are exore which tracting copper-silvwill improve in size. they think, Ores will be mined and shipped by the lessees as far as possible and they expect continuous operation, according to an officers report. er Sampling Equipment Rail and Pipe High in the mountains of Idaho, the giant Palisades Dam Is under construction on the South Folk of the Snake River. Rugged country frames the project and rugged problems keep coming up. One problem arose when large boulders and pieces of rock started rolling down the cutaway mountainsides endangering men and equipment working on spillway tunnels at the base of a mountain. U. S. Steels Cyclone Fence Division was called on the lob to lav a steel wire netting down the side of the mountain to hold the rocks in place. In one of the igi was installed to bring the heavy fencing to the top where (lower left) it was secured to strong steel bars buried ten feet deep In the bed rock. Over the side and down the matting (lower right) Cyclone workmen come on inspection. Installation was completed by securing mats to anchor rods at the base near the tunnels.
