THE METALLURGY OF LEAD
II By H. B. PULSIFER
Oper;lting Blast Furnaces.
In a large lead smeltery the blast fur­
naces are the heart of the plant. ~'or the
full and uninterrupted working of the fur·
naces, not only must the management pro·
vide sufficient and suitable ores and fluxes,
At the Front In a Large Mexican Plant
but the superintendents or metallurgists
must assign the charges and see to It that
the furnaces are always jJ.owing' the most
economical slag, sufficiently free from valu·
able metals, while crews of men ,under ex­
perienced foremen labor to make up the
charges, get them into the furn~ces' and
clear away the prQducts of melt,-lead,
matte and slag.
In studYing the furnaces from these five
points of view, which may be designated
under the heads of management, superin·
tendence, charge floor, feed, floor and front,
it must be kept in mind that such speciali'
zation is not always necessary or practical.
In fact for a Small furnace at some mines,
all the regulatiDn might devolve on one
single man, _who would have _direct and sole.
charge of the whole work.
It is of prime importance to recognize
the inherent unity and co-operation essen­
tial for the best results. In a large plant
this means that the departments must
work harmoniously, overbearance must be
met with forbearance and strict observance
,to personal duty change to helpfulness at
critical times. This generality Is often at
the base of the varying degrees of success
and failure at all plants. Mere inattention
or neglect on the part of foremen or work·
men can quickly cause all sorts of difficul­
ties and losses; the superintendent's part
calls for unalterable firmness beneath di­
plomacy and suaveness, in dealing with the
men, while the more compliance and plla,
bility an practice, so much more smoothly
goes the routine.
Progress and reform always find opposi­
tion strongly in trenched, and call for un­
usual ability and support to successfully
overcome it. The best operating force
is liKewise not neeessarily the progressive
one. Low operating cost and heavy diVI­
dends hardly ever accompany improvements
and changing equipment; they come with
frugality, and using equipment for its full
life and then some. Thus moneY making
and metallurgical development sometimes
pull together and sometimes oppositely; in
the long run they are on the best of terms,
but transiently very much at odds.
In providing ores, each great mining
district tends to supply some prevailing
characteristic variety, which cannot be sup·
pressed, but can be greatly modified by
prices and penalties. This does not mean
that the most opposite and varied sorts of
ore and flux do not often and usually come
from the same locality, but that the bulk of
the tonnage wili have a fairly uniform com­
position and require ores or flux from some
outside source to give a suitable smelting
mixture.
One of the eternal problems in most
plants is to keep on hand this balanell
charge supply; however rich' or abundam

the particular ore to be smelted, this auxil­
iary supply demands its own attention and
is-, just as essential as the other. If the
furnace is small it does not mean that the
flux can be cheaply obtained. or, if the
plant ill large and the company proprietor
of certain ores, that the lacking material
can be reasonably obtained.
When a management brings in a great
quantity of material or single 'and even nec­
essary composition, it usually means that it
will have to' be stored until flnallY mixed
and used up with the other ,kindS. Plants
call be easily swamped with limey ore!>,
silicious ores, magnesian ores, zincy ores,
irony concentrates, etc. The proper amount
of material will have to be provided sooner
or later to balance the accumulation, or suf.
flciently dilute it as it is fed to the furnaces
with the regular charge
A mine supplying a self·fluxing' ore is
an extraordinary asset to be owned by a
smelting Company, either private or custom;
any'shortage of usual ore supply or flux Is
thus guarded against and the rates properlY
Influenced. Likewise, if a custom smeltery
i3 assured of an unlimited supply of ma­
terial of a particular composition, It Is con­
sidered good policy to own or control the
necessary flux.
Except under. peculiar circumstances,
the metallurgist will see that his furnace
charge supplies a slag consisting chiefly of
silica, ferrous oxide and lime. It is not
necessary that one, or any, or all of these
constituents shOUld be bought as lead
or silver ore, or even as gold ore.
There might be a case, where it would be
necessary to get all of them barren in
order to flux extremely high lead ores, or
dilute some refraqtory constituent, but
usua1!y one constituent will come abund­
antly with the metal bought.
The Santa Eulalia camp in Chihuahua,
Mexico, supplies great quantities of lime·
silver ores. In various parts of Northern
Mexico iron·lead-lime oxides are abundant'.
In both cases llilic!ous material Is really
at a premium with the ,smelteries. This
Is quite different from the condition in
Utah, where the valley smelteries have
available great quantities of siliceous sq­
ver ores and much good siliceous lead ore.
Here limestone of no metal content, what·
ever, is used in great quantitie.3 as tlux..
Barren iron ore is also SO used, but to a
lesser extent.
Limestone, in particular, Is a flux which
can almost always be laid down at a smelt­
ery for a price quite inSignificant, trom

is probably no lead mine in Utah which
could afford to intentionally supply linw in

which can be, put down at the plants at a
dollar a ton. As iron flux is far more ex·
pensive in this latter locality, we may pre­
dict that greater use wjj] yet be made of
the abundant iron-lead concentrates, which,
when sinter'roasted, may well carry alJ the
iron necessary for the adequate fluxing of
the charges.

In other parts of the world, quite differ·

slag containing only 26 to 30 per cent silica

suitable. Particular instances are weH
known where alumina, zinc oxide, magnesia

one of the major constituents of satisfactory
slags. Experience has shown that a great

were distinquished by cumbersome and
space-consuming settlers, innumerable tanks
for dOll1:'le leaching, and excessive handling
of material. The all-sliming idea, where
applicable, reduced the settling require·
ments, but added more crushing machinery.
As a whole, however, the plants of this
type were simpler than the sand plants. Con­
tinuous agitation and filtration has done
much more towards the same end.

EVen now, it is a question whether some
all sliming plants can not be still more sim­
plilied to adVantage. In many ores the val­
ue is mostly in the slimes. Ordinarily in
H "
making tests for the amount of gold left
in the sands, the sands produced by ordi­
nary imperfect mill classification are used.
More thorough washing of the sample would
show that the vahle was due to small
amounts of rich slime. which cling to the
sands. More careful washing in some form
of mechanical classifier would enable the
sands to be thrown out, and regrinding
I· to be avoided.
The treatment of copper ores has under·
gone steady simplification. Efficient classi­
fiers have replaced numerous hogtroughs
and tanks, large jigs replaced many small
ones, and the pulsators have further in·
creased the simplicity. The treatment of
zinc ores, especially abroad, but in this
country also, still leaves room for great im­
provement in this respect.
It is not intended to convey the idea that
all ores are susceptible to simple treatment,
but to suggest that, in many cases, a less
c()lmplicated plant would be found to give
iLL DESiGi'<
as good, if not better results, with a con­
sequent saving in initial outlay, in 'ground
area, in attent!on and in costs. Simplicity
in process is the first requisite in Simplicity

THE SITUATION IN ZINC.
Prospectng for zinc ores and develop­

ment of old mines, looking toward the ex­

company with the other metals, zinc has
been steadily advanced in price and favor­

This activity is of great import to min­
ing. Where mines in the same district are
shipping lead ores. copper ores, iron ftuxes,
and gold and silver ores, any advance in the
price, mining or milling methods f.or zinc,
enables these same mines to dispose of theIr
developed, but unextracted, zinc orebodies
at a profit, enhancing, in turn, the value
of the mines as prodUcers .of the other
'metals. The presence of zInc in the lead
ores of the west was at first a serious draw­
back to ~ their utilization. It is now becom·
ing more and more of an asset. •
The time is coming When, to the large cop­
per and lead smelteries in tbe Salt Lake
vaHey, will be added a spelter plant, thus
completing the trinity of the mixed sul­
phides and utilizing all the assets of the
western mines. As the gas-fields of the mid·
die western states become exhausted and
the coal-fields of the inter-'rnountain states
become more fully developed, the feasibility
of this step will become more apparent.

MT. NEBO MINING DISTRICT.
The highest peak .of Mt. Nebo district in
Juab county, Utah, reaches up into the
clouds to an altitude of 11,887 feet. This
is one of the highest mountains in the
state. Agassiz mountain, in WasatCh coun·
ty, is the highest, with an elevation of 12,­
460 feet. Bald mountain, in Summit county,
touches 11,970, and Mt. Baldy, in Beaver
county, is not far behind with 11,730 to its
credit.
In Mt. Nebo district mines, are being
worked at an altitude of over 10,000 feet,
and the Eva mine, which is a regular ship­
per has an elevation of 8,500 feet, and ore,
fr.om the same mineralized belt, is being
taken from the property of the Eureka Leas.
ing & Milling company way down in the
foot-hills of the range, whiCh goes to show
the extensive mineralization .of the district,
and the continuity and permanency of its
veins. In this district, about which but
little is known to the general public, or
even in mining circles, two mining com·
panles are now making regular are ship­
ments to the valley smelteries. Mining ac­
tivities, however, are not confined to these
two prodUcers, as a dozen or more compan­
ies have ·been organized for the purpose ot
developing other ground just as promising;
and several of these, no doubt, will have
reached a producing and shipping basis
within the next few months.
And yet, notwithstanding its favqrable
formation, the fact that its lime belt is
cut by a series of profound fissure veins,
from which ore-bearing bedding planes ex­
tend out into the lower carboniferous; not·
withstanding the existence of every evi­
dence that the district has the possibilities

but if YDU have any desire tD keep YQur
