Supplement To Commerce Reports books, Excerpt from Supplement to Commerce Reports: May 20, 1918 During 1915, 1916, and 1917 most of the supplies of zinc ore came from Spain, North Africa, and Italy. In 1917 the imports into Swan sea increased to tons, which is the largest importation on record with the exception of 1914, when increased supplies of Australian ore were received. Official Government figures of imports during 1917 are not yet available. It is estimated, however, that about 98 per cent of the zinc ore imported into the United Kingdom is smelted in the Swan sea district. During 1917 the Swansea Spelter Works worked at top speed and facilities for increased production have been much improved. During the latter part of the year, however, a number of furnaces were idle on account of. The shortage in the supplies of ore. Although greatly increased quantities of ore were imported in'1917, yet this increase did not keep up with the increased capaci ties of the furnaces.
