copper by the Thousand Tons.

Years ago, when it was known that
the supply Of copper in the Lake SUI
perior region was very large, and the
uses of that metal in the arts were
confined to certain well-established
limits, no doubt there were people
who foresaw glut of the copper
market, and looked for the time, not
far removed, when copper mining
would scarcely pay expenses, for want
Of sufficient demand for the article.
But IN the period, say twenty years,
which has since elapsed, many
things have happened, one of which
is the invention of the telephone. II
is a remarkable device, and one of
never-ceasing interest as well as util-
ity; but it would not at first glance
appear to have any special relation to
the copper-mining industry. One Of
its recent phases, however, has a
very material bearing upon that i'm
terest. 1t is stated that the Ameri-
can Bell Telephone Company has
fifty lines OF long-distance telephone
in process of construction from Chica-
go to New York, and that each will
require two lines Of wire, making 100
lines of single wire. The distance
from New York TO Chicago being but
trihe less than 1000 miles, here is,
approximately total of 100000
miles OF copper wire. Its weight Is
TIA pounds to the mile, giving an ag-
gregate of more than 1900, 900
pounds, or over $500 tons. This is
about 500 tons more, it is said, than
the entire production OF the Tama-,
rack, one Of the leading copper mines
of the Lake Superior region, for the
year 1890. Twenty years ago, or
even ten years ago, the most far-see-
ing observer could. not have antici-
pated this demand upon the copper
producing resources of the country.
And whether in electrical science or
in any other department. of human
effort, 1t is just as impossible at this
moment to make a forecast Of the
situation which will exist in 1900 or
1910 as it was in 1870 or 1880 to pre-
dict the advances which have been
made between those dates and the
present. 1t is difficult to realize, as
regards the progress of invention,
that the future is sealed book pre-
cisely as the past has been. But it Is
reasonable belief that the wonders
OF the future will surpass those OF the
past; for the work Of one decade only
broadens the foundation for the next.

citizen of Indiana estimated that bad
roads cost the farmer SIS per year fol-
each horse and mule in his service.
This means loss in the aggregate OF
nearly $3.50 ,000, 900 per year; add wear
and scar of wagons and harness, $780,
900, 900; deprecated value of farm
lands, $4,000, 100000 total, S2,350, 200,
600.
Making the utmost allowance in IA
vor of the farmer, and granting the
necessity of the liberal use OF horse
power in the maintenance OF agricultur-
al traffic, 1t Is easily certain that the
farmers of this country are keeping at
least 100000 horses more than would
be necessary to do all the hauling be-
tween farm and market, ii only the
principal roads were brought to good
condition. II you estimate that all
these horses are fed an ordinary army
ration Of hay and oats, 1t requires ii COS
tons of hay or fodder and $50 900 bushels
OF oats per day to iced these unneces-
sary animals, which themselves have a
money value of $40, 100000 The value
OF hay and oats fed to these horses per
day is about $500, 900, or something like
STA, OOO, 900 per year.
These are large figures. Now let us
see what it would cost to do the neces-
sary work so that such savings could be
made. IL has been estimated by the
authorities of the State of New York
that with $4,000 900 the roads in the
entire State could be put in very good
condition. The roads in New York are
not better than they are in other States.
They are good deal worse than In
eome of the New England States,
for instance, and therefore assume
that this estimate can be followed as O
guide I'm determining what would be
needed to complete in the whole country
excellent roads, which, once constructed,
could be cheaply and easily maintained.
Considering the area Of New York and
the density OF population, and using
these figures in the problem, l estimate
that s4O0, 900, 600 would give us good
system OF common roads oil over the
country. This Is great deal OF money,
but 1t doesn't seem great compared with
the values which would be enhanced by

all the work Is not done on the roads. II is
only fair to reduce this by one-half. and

showing the value of carriages. buggies

To put their value at $500, 200, 900 would
be placing II very low, and there
would be no chance to say that the esti-
mate or guess was exaggerated. TAX
ing into consideration the cost of re-
pairs necessltated by reason OF bad
roads and the shortened servlceable life
to such vehicles, feel safe in assuming
that with good roads these vehicles
would last one-half longer, and their

This system Of properly locating and
building common highways having been
abandoned some half-century ago. IL
has been incumbent upon this genera
ton to take up the work where 1t was
then left on. In locating the railroad
an engineer needs 10 bear In mind that
the railroad must DO approached wher-
over there Is to be station. Stations
are usually several miles apart, and,
therefore. this part OF his problem Is so
simplified that he can locate his road
with regard entirely to the general
Typographical features OF the country,
and then establish the stations at such
places as may be easy OF approach.
But the engineer locating common
highway must boar In mind that his
road must be accessible on both sides

by Harper & Bros
The common roads and country high
ways In the United States are worse
than those to be found In any other
country In the world pretending TO DO
civilized and enjoying a stable form OF
government. .As IL has long been an
axiom that the common highways Il a
country are at once the means and the
measure of its civilization, IL is some
what strange that in this country, where
we boast OF enjoying higher type OF
civilization than is to be found else
where, our roads should always have
been so Yretchedly bad. Even in the
colonial times the necessity to make
better the condition OF the common roads
was seriously felt, and in those parts Of
the country settled by particularly long
headed people, as, for instance, In tho
neighborhood of Boston, there have al
ways been pretty good public highways.
But, as a rule, ali over the country,
from then till now we have been content
with dirt roads, which in the winter are
muddy quagmires, and in summer streaks
Of dust This is not because these local
authorities would not like to have good
roads, but it is because they have no
means with which to do much better
than is done, and il they did have the
means they lack the requisite knowl-
edge, without which no decent roads can
be built or managed.
The farmers have always had to pay
for building and repairing roads in In s
country, even when these roads hap
pened TO lead from one town to another.
Very naturally these people, already
overburd ned by direct and Indirect tax
alton, have felt very indisposed TO take
any action which should add to that al
ready heavy burden. Any effort to
secure their cooperation in road i'm
provement must provide that the cost of
such Improvement shall not fall entirely
upon them. Uni IS this be made en-

do one-third more work on good road
and be in a working condition one-third
longer than he can on a bad road, then
his earning capacity, and hence his
value, is increased just one-third. This
assumption is based upon very low es-
innate. In all probability, If 1t were
possible to make an exact calculation,
1t would be found that the earning ca
pacity and the total length of servicea-
Bile life of draught animals would be

boarders that you can't get rid of when
the busy season is over, and it stands
you in need to keep them at work. Two
billion dollars make a large sum in
vested at per cent. interest. 1t would
produce nearly S2,000,000 per week.
Then you throwaway more than 10000
600 of horses and mules alone, and to
feed and care for these 1t costs the mod
est sum of S4,00O,O00 per day. A little
while ago a very clever and intelligent

only one-third. The census enumera-
tors of 1890 found that there were in
this country 14,913,S3 horses, valued
at $6S each; 2,S51 ,O27 mules, valued
at SIS each; and 36,s49,024 oxen,
and other draught animals, valued at
SIS each--making a total of SO, 1893, 1888
animals used on the roads, at total
value Of $ls21, 535, 79S All these horses
and mules work at some time on the

$3.50, 900, 900. Taking these two sources
OF increased valuation together, we
should have an enhanced property val

by the improvement of the common
roads. Mr. Isaac b. Potter, the chair

gineer, in running up valley, can
hug high hills on one side, with a turbu-
lent watercourse on the other; but such
a location would be out Of the question
for the highway engineer, for those
who are to use his road must be able
to reach it easily from the farms on
either side, and that without going out
Or their way. And in the matter Of
drainage, which is of even more i'm
portance in building highway
than q railroad. the task is more
complex. The railroad runs over
low ground with an embankment, and
at convenient places let's the water
through with trestle or an open Gull
vert. Such expedients are not permits
sibfe I'm focnting highways. The high
way engineer must select his route so
that he can take the water beneath the
road bed in covered drains or bridges or
covered culverts, and he must see that
the water which Is to go below will be
concentrated at such places as he has
provided for its passage, for it would
never do for any moisture to get below
the stone with which good highways are
covered. Now, as to grades on high
ways, the engineer must display even
greater care and skill. 1t Is poor loca-
ton to have deepcuts or high embank
ments on highway, while the railway
engineer can do as much Of this as he
chooses and his company has money
enough to pay for. II he chooses to go
under range of hills, he puts tunnel
through, and there he is on the other
side But these devices, which so sim
plify the work Of the railroad builder,
cannot be rcsorted to by the road-maker.
II he is obliged to go over a range OF
hills or cross valley, he must so locate
his lines that he can do both and still
in each instance keep within reason
able distance of the natural surface.
And yet he must not make his grade so
steep that heavy loads cannot be hauled
over it easily, nor must he make his
road very much longer than a straight
line between the points from and to
which he is building.
The Economic Aspect.
The condition of the common roads
has very interesting economic bearing
of direct nature, and an indirect one
not less important. In the matter Of the
earning capa ,ity and value of horses
and other draught animals the common
roads have direct effect. If horse can
