COPPER.
One or the Most Important Mineral Prod
ucts OF the Usited States.

One or the Most Important NIuerai Prod.
ucts OF the United States.
There has been OF late so large an increase in
the foreign demand for American copper that
the gain has boon reflected In tho price. now
averaging ~ cents = pound. About half tho
copper mined In tho world Is taken from tho
copper mines of the United States. The pro-
portion OF pure copper to copper ore is largest In
the American minos.
Once about twO-thirds Of the American cop
per mined were required for local consumption,
and the balance was exported mostly to Eng
land. France. rnd Belgium. II is remarkable
that although copper as money. except In small
denominations, Is no longer In general use. the
Of this metal. once used for money
chiefly, is more than eight times as great a. II
was forty years ago. This Is in great MEASURE
explained by tho enormous development OF the
telegraph and the use OF copper for cartridges
and for electrical appliances. In 1900 the COP
per produced IN this country amounted 10 45s,.
1880 pounds, and this, added to u. 00o. 900
total Of Az. 722. $50 pounds OF copper mined In
the United States. or this amount about gil
100000 pounds were exported and 200. 900. 900
pounds were consumed in this country.
The American product OF copper In 1904 was
In 1896 It was In excess OF 200. 900 tons. or ten
times moro than the total American product Of
copper copI sis, teen ; Years ago; and nearly 40 per
crease in the demand for copper -, in part, due
10 the increased need Of IL for electrical appli-
ances, for copper 10 used for telephones, electric
cars. trolley wires, and cables. The develop
msnt OF trolley lines in other countries and OF
the telephone service has greatly Increased the
home demand for American copper. There has
utensils. too. While In 1895 10000 tons OF
American copper were sent to England, the total
amount for 1920 was 5000 tons, an increase OF
more than 80 per cent.
The most productive copper districts OF tho
Unitei states are the north peninsula OF Michi-
gan, Montana, and Arizonn. These three dis
triots produce about nine-tenths Of all the cop
per mined In this country, but Colorado Yields
considerable. California some. and Utah Ia be-
ginning 10 be a factor. The price of copper In
the English market was just twice as much at
Great Britain then. produced $4,000 tons to
$500 In the United States. Now the English
product Is only 1900 tons.
