DEMANDS OF ELECTRICITY.
1t Creates an Encourag re Oul4o9f'
for Copper,


The coner question is still the most
Interesting, one to the majority If our
eftizelsa. says ths Tucson Citizen. This
AF because copper ore predominaIes as
a. metal throughout southern Arizona
and the market holds strong. Great
developments in this region are iookSd
for in the ncl.- future. Statistics slcW
that there is an actual scarcity of cop
per evan now, and tie present ave aga
prodhctiCn Of copper in the United
States is only $4,000 tens a meath.
The latest estimate is that there is
practically no free copper in the Unit
ed States and orders are ahead. On
this point the Mining Review CLOS An
geles, CALI correctly observes that the
cities Of Europe have as yet made but
little progress in the use CT electricity
rs a transmitting power and in the
construction CT electric railroads
when the capitalists of Europe awak-
en- to a consciousness CT the fact that
electricity as a power is not only the
best but the cheapest that can be en-
ployed there will be a demand for
copper greatly in excess of the present
demand. In fact looking ahead, it IS
not easy 20 figure cut h1W such an in
creased demand could be met at short
notice. In Fcl..s, France, they have
Only begun to consider thu ACCESSIBILITY
Of changing their city railways to the
electric SYSTEM but when once they
have made a start in that direction
there Is little doubt but that an entire
change will result, thereby creating a
large increased demand for copper in
that one city alone
The New York Engineering and Min
ing Journal sizes up the situation
equally encouraging for the owners OF
copper properties, as follows:
We have been accustomed to cousid-
er the United States as the leader in
the applications of electricity to prac-
teal work; and this has been especial
" the case in transportation. The con-
structiOn of electric railroads in towns
and cities, and more recently fer sub
urban and ether long-d;stance traffic,
has been carried out on a greater scale
than in any other country. Recently,
however, Germany has taken up the
building Of electric railroads on an ex-
tensive scale, and the use of the cleo
trio motor on what are called in Eu-
rope secondary railroads is,
railroads for LEGAL traffic-promises to
be adopted on a more extensive scale
than even in this country. The num-
her of projected lines is large, and
fair proportion of them are 50 far adj
varced that contracts have been let, or
are to be let socn, while some lines of |
Importance are in operation or nearly |
10 start. In Switzerland also the work /
Of building mountain and other roads |
with electricity for motive power is GO
ing on actively: In Great Britain cleo |
tric railroad work is fairly active. |
though less SO than in Germany.
Naturally all this electric work has !
an influence On the demand for cop |
per, though this will be more apparent |
next year than il is at present. Many |
of the recent German contracts will |
not be filled until some time in 1900, or /
even the next year, 50 that there will |
be time enough to secure the necessary !
supplies.
