Show LEAD OUTPUT I LASTJfEAR GIVEN Geological Survey Releases Figures Fig-ures on Important Industry During the Past Year. UTAH STANDS THIRD IN LIST OF STATES Decrease Noted in Majority oi' States, Due to the Panic Conditions. The Unilod States geological survey has .fust issued a preliminary report on tho production of lead for "J 008. compiled com-piled by O. E. Siehenthal, nnd the survey's sur-vey's figures differ somewhat from those given by eastern mining journals. Tho now report follows: The product of refined lead cannot be apportioned according to sources of ore, for lead refiners trrnt smelted products pro-ducts whose origin may bo unknown to them, the identitj' of the ore and thus its original somen being preserved onlv as far as the smelter. The following fol-lowing table showing sources of lead smelted or refined in the United States is based as far as possible on smelter figures. It includes "pig lead" reported report-ed by all known smelters running ou M ississippi Valley lead ores, and "lead" produced "at all other known lead smelters in this country. The greater part, of the product reported by smelters operated in conjunction with refineries is in terms of refined lead. A like part of the antimonial lead product pro-duct is thus eliminated from the "lead" produced aud appears only in the figures of production of antimonial lead. No lead ore from the United States was treated elsewhere during the period covered by the table. Sources of Primary Lead Smelted or Refined in the United States. (Tons of 2000 pounds.) I 1000.

In the following table "lead" includes in-cludes all kinds load in ore, bae bullion, bul-lion, pigs, bars, and old. The figures of domestic production are based upon returns by t.lie smelters; all other figures fig-ures are from the records of the bureau bu-reau of statistics. Decrease by liquidation liquida-tion covers losses in smelling and refining refin-ing in bond and other corrections. Warehouse slocks of bonded lead of foreign origin are given, but it has been found impossible to obtain at tins time complete figures of domestic .stocks. For this reason Ihe result given below is "lead available for consumption." The. "apparent -on-sumption" of previous reports would be this quantity increased or diminished dimin-ished by the increase or decrease of domestic stocks during the year, and also diminished by the exports of domestic do-mestic lead. Tlie domestic lead exports ex-ports consist of lead in manufactures and in type, as shown below. Consumption of Primary Lead in the . United States. (Tons of 2000 pounds.) ' 1007. , 100S Supply !
