Show The Weston Mineral Page Two Editorial Surer Mine production in this country is not increasing in proportion to consumption of the metals. This means, instead of a healthy industry, we are leaning on imports at the expense of the domestic industry. The market is now very stable for both lead and zinc, both of which are in strong demand. There are no surplus stocks, with consumption high for both metals.
