Buying on American Assays.

Engineering and Mining Journal :
The year 1886 will be remembered in the
copper trade for the inauguration o. the
system among European smelters of buy.
ing on American sampling and assays.
On the 18th of March last we called atten-
ton to contract under which W. A.
Clarks Butte argentiferous matte was
sold to an English smelter on cash t. o.
b. basis on Ledoux & Co.'s weights, SAM
pling, and assay, and we predicted that
this system once tried must extend. that
no American producer need again submit
arbitrary deductions. This prediction is
already verified. During the year just
ended over 5000 tons of furnace matt rial
was sold on this basis and shipped to En-
gland, including, besides Clark's matte,
small quantities of Anaconda matte and
Arizona copper. During the past summer
DR.. Ledoux visited the princi.al smelt-
ers and metal buyers OF Europe
and, as result, his firm have
already contracted to sample over 5000
tons of material that is purchased on Their
assays for export to England. France, Ger
many and Italy during 1888. In fact we
have rea, on to believe that this year will
see very little of the furnace material ex-
ported paid for on foreign assays. and that
| even the Anaconda matte will finally be
sampled on this side and sold on the Amer
| lean basis. Besides MATES aud ores, Euro
pean buyers are also taking copper in the
same way. Foreign metal buyers, whether
Justly or unjuetly we are not prepared to
| state, claim that it is unsafe to rely on the
American brand alone-that our refners,
unable as they are to secure their supplies
from one constant source, produce copper
| OF variable quality. We under tand that
one refiner has contracted to deliver con-
siderable copper for export. agreeing to
furnish with each lot Ledouxs certificate
of phyelcal test and grade Of the ship
meut.

Its summary OF the product ton shows
Montana ahead OF ali other producing dis
tricts IN America, and it makes the follow
ing CO mments:
From this table it will be seen how Mon
tana has forged ahead, the Anaconda alone
having produced, according to our report
received direct from Mr.. J. B. Haggin, no
less than 57.OOO,OOO pounds, distancing
by about l. .4OO, 900 pounds it's great RI
val, the Calumet q Hecla.
Montana is now about 4. 800. 900 pounds
ahead Of Lake Superior as copper pro-
ducer, and is quite likely to maintain the
lead during the coming year.
The New Boston & Montan Consoli-
duted properties have as yet done but
little. This will. however, in a few years
become no unworthy rival FOR the great
Anaconda.
Arizona has increased some 1000, 900
pounds, or to 100000 pounds. The
output of che State in 1886. appears, from
the returns made to us by the several com
panies, to have been fully l6,OCU. .OLo, ns
we reported last year.
No new sources of supply have been felt
in this years production, and aone ara
now being opened that can greatly affect
the supply OF copper during tie present
year.
PIE Anaconda has reached its ximum,
ana as IL naE TO nFAW II ltS lO"cT ieNclo
for a larger proportion OF the ore it con-
centrates, the output will undoubtedly de-
cile.
The Chambers Syndicate mines. which
will supply the new mill, estimated to start
in the second hall Of the year will produce
argentiterous stuff that will not greatly add
to the copper output. II we allow for the
works total Of 65, 900 pounds in 1883, it
will probably be a very liberal estimate,
nd may excee l thA actu II oltturl.
The Boston & Montana will undoubted-
ly increase, and up to May may be counted
on for 100000 a month; after that.
| should it's new smelters get running, it may
double this amount. Including sales OF
high grade ore we may count it's possible
maximum 23 200, 900 pounds for the next
twelve months. It must be remembered
that this will take the place OF the Old Co.
| luss, Liquidator and Clark's works. No
other property in Montana is likely to in
crease to any important figures. Montana
| in 1888 may possibly reach a maximum OF
90 900 900, which leaves no room for acci'
dents OF any kind.

from the Schulykill regions was on Satur-

down, notwithstanding that on Sundays
the heaviest shipments were made before

is all reserved by the company. The fact
that no coal was shipped during the past
forty-eight hours has been eagerly seized
by the delegates who attended yesterday g
convention. They say that It shows the
solidity of the strikers all over the
