Cinnabar Mining in Texas
Alpine, Texas, Oct. 17.—
which already has grown to
large proportions, and which '
is adding another element of
wealth to the state’s appar-
ently illimitable riches.
Thi industry is the mining ,
of cinnabar from which is ex-
tracted the Valuable mercury
or quick-silver. Quick-silver
is said to be in growing de-
mand in commerce and in the (
.arts.
Expert mineralogists are j
now at work exploring for
this highly prized “liquid-me-
tal” amid the silent mountain
ranges and the hidden can- ,
yons in the southern part of
Brewster county, whose
depths only now are said to
be revealing the secret of
their great wealth.
Brewster county in 1922
produced more than one-
third of all the quick-silver
produced in the United States,
according to the United States
Geological Survey; and this is
considered now the largest
quick-silver producing region
in the world.
Quick-silver is the popular
term fop what is also called
mercury. It is the only metal-
lic element which becomes li-
quid at ordinary temperatures,
chemists say. It is employed,
among other things, for medi-
cal purposes, filling thermo-
meters and barometers, for ex-
traction of gold from ore; and
for backing mirrors.
In using quick-silver for ex-
traction of gold #om crushed)
ore, the ore is washed by a
gentle stream of water over
a copper plate amalgamated
with mercury. The gold par-
ticles, being heavy, sink
through the water so as to
come in contact with the cop-
per plate, where they are held
by the mercury in the form
_ of a gold amalgam.

territory of about thirteen
miles running east and west in
