Waves and the Power of Giant Sea Waves
The Portland Oregonian reports that mid ocean waves average 30 to 40 feet but enormous waves can surge toward ships at over 100 miles per hour. If a wave hits the bow, the ship can ride over it. a stern impact may doom the vessel. Occasionally massive waves exceed 100 feet, even extinguishing masthead lights, and surprises like a 160 foot wave can appear on calm seas.

In 1921 Idaho mined about 192 million pounds of lead at an average price near 4.6 cents per pound, with value dropping from $19.97 million to about $8.83 million. Major producers included Bunker Hill Morning mines, Heels, Hercules, Tamarack and Custer, Caledonia, Independence Blaine County, Sierra Nevada, Idaho Continental Boundary County, and Pittsburg Idaho Lehmi County. Coeur d Alene district yielded roughly 183 million pounds. No zinc ore shipped in Idaho in 1921, while 1920 zinc output reached 27.98 million pounds. Callahan Zinc Lead operated only for development.
