Copper is the principal metal used these
days In manufacturing. mining and scien-
tihc interests, and consequently the product
of this metal has increased to wonderful
proportions. There was mined and sent to
market during 1894 over 3GO,0 900 pounds.
OF this there was exported about $50, 900 900
pounds, leaving for home use about the
same amount As the production of foreign
copper did not exceed 97,000O00 pounds,
