Zinc and Lead Mines, Joplin, M.O.
Zinc and Lead Mines, Joplin, M.O.
Joplin, Missouri, is the center of our zinc and lead production. In 1915 the United States produced over 460,000 tons of crude zinc, valued at $45,000,000. In the same year our mines produced 500,000 tons of lead, valued at $40,000,000. Missouri leads all other states in the production of both minerals. Zinc is not mined as a free substance. That is, it is found combined with other elements such as sulphides, carbonates, oxides, etc. By carefully worked out processes of heating, zinc is reduced from these compounds. The metal is much usedas an alloy with copper to produce brass. It is also used for roofing, and for coating or galvanizing iron to prevent rusting. The United States is the largest zinc producer in the world. Lead, like zinc, is obtained from a compound. The chief ore from which lead comes is the sulphide which is mined is grayish, shiny cubes. There are a number of processes of securing the lead from the ore; but heat is the chief factor in each. Afterwards the crude lead is refined by still more heating. Lead is a very valuable mineral. It is used largely in making bullets and shot. Air and water have little effect on it so it is used for piping, roofing, and lining of tanks. The view shows a shaft house that sets over the entrance to a zinc and lead mine. In this house is the machinery that runs the shaft elevator to bring men and minerals from the mine. The smelter you also can see on the right. Here the mined ores are refined into the crude metals. The pile in the background is called the tailing pile. It is made up of the tailings or left-over minerals from which the metals have been taken. Locate Joplin. What mountains are in southern Missouri?

Zeppelin Flying Over a German Town
Zeppelin Flying Over a German Town
The only lighter-than-air machines that have been made that can be directed and controlled are the dirigibles (dr´-j-b'ls). Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin (zp´-ln), a German, spent much of his life trying to make the dirigible a success. Largely due to his work, Germany stood first in the development of dirigibles for many years. In fact, his name was commonly given to these German machines. For a number of years Germany had regular carrying routes for the Zeppelin. Passengers and mails were carried from point to point. Some of these huge machines were 600 feet long and 50 feet in diameter. They are long, cigar-shaped, rigid balloons. The large gas bags, made into compartments, support cars swung beneath. These cars carry passengers, merchandise, or guns, and also the large motors which propel the machine. During the Great European War, the Germans used the Zeppelins to terrorize the people of England and France. They frequently crossed the English Channel to bombard British cities. From thousands of feet in the air, bombs were dropped on peaceful towns, killing men, women and children. The British and French used airplanes and anti-aircraft guns as a means of defense. Many Zeppelins were thus brought down. In a running battle the large airplanes were too speedy for the cumbrous dirigible. The French and British have also perfected large dirigibles. These were used in the Great War for observation purposes largely. Our own army is similarly supplied. But the Allied armies depended largely on airplanes to report enemy movements. Airplanes are far more important as engines of war than are dirigibles.
