Sjwln Leads AH Countries Its Uses Spreading Rapidly. Washington, Aug. 28 (Special.) Of the 19 ; mines producing quick silver in the United States in 1910, 15 are located In California, 2 In Neva da, and 2 in Texas, according to II. D. McCaekey, of the United States geo logical survey. The production in 1910, as obtained from the confiden tial returns to the geological survey by every producer In the country, was 20,601 flasks of 75 pounds each. As the average domestic price at San Francisco, $46.51 a flaBk, the value was $958,153. ,., As compared with th production of 1909, which was 21,075 flasks, valued at $957,859, this shows a decrease in quantity of 474 flasks out an increase in value oi z."'Ai thouch the Droductlon of California increased in 1910. the outnut from . Oregon decreased to nothing, as that of Arizona did In 1909, the small Ne vada fell off considerably and tbe out put from Texas decreased. In no state except possibly Nevada, can an increased output bi expected for 1513, '.he present outlook for the en tire United States not exceeding 20, C0Q f3sks, 7 : 'A good domestic demand for quick silver waa noted throughout 1910. The principal uses are for gold milling and placer mining, for'the manufacture of, vermillion, : fulminates, physical in struments, and drugs, and for light ing. Th3 use of quicksilver In mak ing the fulminate of percussion caps for Igniting, powder Is Incre"-' '.i importance probably more than any other use. The consumption for all purposes in 1910 was somewhat vrt- er than, the domestic production, i stocks decreased to a small mply. and the condition of 4he ra?e within the Unlred States wp- ganerally good. Tonnage i-d Ttecovery. . J Prcductrs rerfrted ihe mining of : 13,13 tens of new on available for tfetitmsnt in the tfnited 'States in 1910 and the treatment during the year of 123,562 tons of ore, Including small amounts of crude ore concentrated before reduction. In California 115,306 short tons of crude ore : was treated, producing 15.S25 flasks of quicksilver, Indicating an average recovery in metal of 0.5 per' cent or an average of ten pounds to the ton. In 1909 a total of 144,9?9 tens of ore treated In Califor n'a yielded an average recovery of metal of 0.4 per cent, or 8 pounds of quicksilver to the ton., These figures indicate average gross returns per ton of $6.39 in 1910 and of $4.85" in 1909 end show that in quicksilver produc tion on a considerable scale the total costs are low, In Texas 8,221 .;tons of o Vas treated, in 191 yielding an average of 1.5. per cent 'of 4netal,: or, 30.3 pounds of quicksilver to'1 the1 ton, against 9,107 tons in 1909, yielding j 1.7 per cent, or 34.5 pounds of metal to the ton. In Nevada about 35 tons of ore was treated in 1910, yielding 7.5 per cent, or 150 pounds of quick silver to the ton. 7 In the entire Uni ted States 123,562 short tons of crude ore was treated in 1910, yielding an average of 0.6 per' cent of quicksilver or 11.7 pounds to the ton, with a gross value of $7.26. In the preceding year 154,502 tons yielded an average re covery of 0.5 per cent, or 10 pounds of metal to the ton, valued at $6.09. The production In v California ' is almost wholly from Bhaft furnaces pf geott, Litchfield, and; related tyyss The Texas oras are treated In Scott furnaces. The Nevada production has so far been entirely from retorts, these being less expensive than shaft furnaces, better suited for high-grade ores, and frequently ' used at new mlns where there Is' usually some rich ore. : These retorts, however, are a menace to the health pfvthe work men. ' As la well known, cinnabar, the sulphide of mercury, is tbV chief ore of the metal, and recovery la ac complished by volatilization of the quicksilver from the ore by heat and condensation of the mercury vapors in condensers. Fluxes are not re quired, as In the metallurgical treat ment by emeltlng of most other metal, and frequently the ore itself carries the equivalent of fuel in the form of pyrite which gives off considerable heat In oxidation. . World's ProdadJoa. The world's production of quicksil ver In 1910 was S.SS9 metric ton? il 2.20! pounds each, against 3,304 tons la 19U0. 3,26 tons in 1908, and 3.307 tons In 1907. Spain Is the largest? producer, furnishing nearly one-third of the total world's supply from the famous Alraaden mines. The United Slates, Austria-Hungary, and Italy have In turn held second place, this country ranking third in 1910. Copies of Mr. MeCaskay'B report on quicksilver.
