COPPER OUTPUT IN 1898
By Countries and by Years From
1894 to 1898 Inclusive.
UNITED STATES FAR AHEAD
This Country Produces Fifty-Five Per
Cent. of the Worlds Aggregate
Supply of the Red
Metal.
From Mining and Engineering Journal.

The copper production Of the world for
the year 1898, as collected for 1.-The Min
eral Industry volume VII, Is shown
in the accompanying table. In the ma
jority of cases these figures are furnished
either directly by the producers or are
from official returns of the respective
countries; in a few instances where those
sources of informa ton are not available
the careful estimates of Messrs. Henry
R. Merton & Co. of London have been
used. According to our usual custom,
the figures of production for all countries
are given in metric tons, as well as in
long tons (of 2,2+0 pounds; and in the
calculations and averages given in the
text below metric tons are everywhere
used.

Total product. United States.

In 1894 and 1895 the United States in
creased its output more rapidly than the
rest of the world, but since 1895 the in
crease has been in about the same ratio.
The other important producers show con-
siderable gains, with the exception of
Spain, where the uotput has been nearly
stationary. In 1898 it was 54077 metric
tons, being 1855 tons, or Is per cent. less
than in 1894. The changes among the
minor producers have-taking them all
together-been in about the same ratio as
in the total output. In 1894 these pro-
ducers furnished 12.S per cent. of the to-
tai, and l2,4 per cent. in 1898.
With two exceptions the changes re-
ferred to have been slight. In Mexico
the output in 1894 was II, 620 tons, and in
1898 it was l5,66S tons The chief mine
the Boleo. in Lower California-has fallen
off a little, chiefly on account of the
working of lower grade ores: but there
has been a constant increase from other
mines, and new ones are now being open
ed. Canada increased from 3,s47 metric
tons in 1894 to 5000 tons in 1898, a gain OF
l09 per cent. This came chiefly from
British Columbia. where the copper-gold
ores are being extensively prospected and
worked.
The consumption of copper in 1898 was
exceptionally large, and in the chief mar
kets stocks were reduced to the lowest
point known for years. in spite of the
large production. In other words. the
world used more copper than it made.
In part this was due TO the general activ-
ity in business and cons truction work
especially ship building and the manufac-
ture of war material-an over the civilized
world. II was largely due to a special
cause, however the extension of electrical
work In many different directions. New
electrical plants-for lighting, for trac-
ton and for transmission of power-have
been going up in this country and Eu-

An Ophir Smelter.

The Salt Lake papers are rather count
ing on w. A. Clark's building a smelter
down there somewhere for the treatment
of the ore from the Ophir mine, of which
ne has become the owner. Whether there
Is reason for such anticipation, or it is
merely the result of their hopeful desires,
is not so clear
There are said to be very large bodies
or low grade ore in the Ophir. and the
former owners are believed to have made
money out of the mine. although of late
it had been uphill work. Clarks I4rst
plan is said to be to send some of the ore
to his Butte smelters as a test of their
susceptibility to smeltsr treatment and If
they respond fairly well the matter of a
new smelter will then he considered on A
business basis.
AS nearly as can be gathered nothing
mas yet been decided. everything con-
nected with the matter being merely in
an experimental stage. However, smelt-
ers are good business concerns. and it is
to be hoped that ,Itah's anticipations
with reference to$s this one will not be
dashed. 81 r.Ir

correspond with highways in boats Of

 anything to do new but to idle away ] their time for two months and part, . says a representative cf that class Of
 people who would lenghten the hours
 or labor and decrease the pay of all school teachers. These teachers ought to work, as other people do, all the year through. Think of it. only i've hours work day during five days in the week, and, besides this summer vacation, they have two or three short vacations during the school year. But to hear them talk" adds the critic, ''one would think they were the hard est worked people in the community. As for myself, I think they do too lit, tle work for the pay they get"
 Cannot agree with you, MT. Critic

 But our talk today is about the col- scientious and hard working teacher, and such person cannot work during nine months Of the year and be phys icaliy able to stand the same strain during the summer months without in- jury to herself. Many teachers throughout the country are now strain ing every nerve in order to get through the last few days of this term, fer dl "a cln of 4bo well nigh exhausted in mind and body.
 As soon as warm weather begins the pupils are much harder to manage. They become restless, and are unable to apply themselves so closely U study, and when the last day of school arrives both teacher and pupil drop their work for well earned rest The pupil has done enough studying fGT the present and needs a change, and the teacher Is unfit to labor on through the summer if she has done her work conscientiously during the school year. THEY NEVER TAUGHT SCHOOL
 THEMSELVES.
 The people who find the most fau.7 with teachers, ard think that they have too much vacation and too high pay, are the people who have the east to do with them.

DokTR ANDRUz's REFORM.


 The subject of spelling reform, So called, has lately been revived as d topic of discussion by the suggestion of Dr. Andrews, superintendent Of the Chicago public schools, that the "re- formed spelling of a dozen common words be introduced in the primary grades Of that city, and if the economy of letters shall appeal to the public that mere extended system of reform vii follow. Without going into the rules by which the reformers propose to rescue the language from it's para site letters, the following examples are sufficient as showing their results in improving our English:

 This is too beautiful and lovely to be entertained as a serious hope by this generation, but that should not discourage the ardor of the enthusi- asts who seek the right to improve the language. It has for some time been the concensus of opinion among the literary felIers' whose ideas are worth anything that Josh Billings and i Petroleum V. Nasby ware better ex- amplars Of pure English as it should | be than Tennyson or Longfellcw, and though a phlegmatic and ignorant 3opulace has failed to adept this view, t must triumph in the end. But it foes seem as if Dr. Andsaxs-beg par lon Doktr Andruz-and his co-work- srs are taking the hardest way to ef- 'ect their reform. Why not abolish he schools altogether?

 If every retail merchant would cut out the above telegrams ol Grant and Sheridan and paste them up over his desk where he could lock at them ten times a day the retail business all over the United States would be 3 great deal better than it is now
 The successful retailer must always have things ready to push.
 He must also be ready to push things. That is the sum and substance of business success.
 Having the right merchandise at the right price, in the right location with the right kind of salespeeple to sell it is having things ready to push.
 Advertising literally is push ing things.
 A great writer recently said that War is business He might have added that business is war.
 The merchant who is a push ing, active, aggressive adyertis- CT is the merchant who will find the greatest success in the. long. strong pull of the business bat tie.
 No right thinking merchant can expect a two-inch advertise ment to pull 8 tenrinch result and it is just as absurd to ex- poet a ten-irch result from 6 tfwo-inch store
 Advertise your business fiber ally but if you are a small man do not try to carry as big an ex- pense as your larger competi- tor.

 It is the born merchant who always has things ready to push and pushes things hardest when times are dullest.
