An interview had with Senator w /.
A. Clark of Montana, in Salt Lake,
gives expression to that gentlemans
ideas respecting the present and pros
pective status of the copper market
The recent decline Of copper is as
cribed to the war in the Transval, but
the reaction is certain to come in a
short time, for tho rea son that the de-
mand is steadily greater than the sup
ply. Mr.. Clark says there is an IN
creased demand for munitions of war
into which copper largely enters. The
larger navy decided upon by the en-
peror of Germany will notlceably
augment the demand for copper, and
the German enlargement will inspire
a corresponding development of the
French navy, which will stimulate
copper production to meet it. These
causes. added to the rapid and con-
stant development Of electric railways,
telephone and other systems requiring
copper in multifarious forms, will
inevitably maintain the upward trend
of prices and promote discovery and
exploitation of copper bearing mines.
There is not the slightest danger of
overproduction. The needs of the
world will take and consume all the
copper that can be extracted from all
the workable mines now operated, or
that can be brought into the produc-
tive stage.

South Shore Officials Determine
to Build the Contemplated
Line Across South Range.
CONTRACTORS FIGURING.
Will Furnish a Short Cut From
the Copper Country to Head
of the Lake.

The following appeared in the
Mining Journal of Wednesday:
Information was received Tuesday
from reliable source that the Du-
luth, South Shore e. Atlantic Rail
way company has decided to build
Pits projected line from point on
the present Houghton division near
Newtons, to Lake Gogebic, follow
ing the south copper range.
This is the line which the com
pany has had in contemplation some
time and which its engineering
parties spent the latter part of the
winter surveying. The surveys have
been completed and contractors are
figuring on the work, which will be
pushed to completion as rapidly as
possible.
The stamp rock to be brought out
from the new copper mines which
are being developed on the south
range is the inducement which leads
the officials of the road to make this
extension to the present system.
This means that at least part of the
mining companies will locate their
stamp mills on keweenaw Bay, near
L'Anse, Baraga or Ncwtons, and
not at Ontonagon. 1t is reasonable
to assume that the railroad officials
have substantial intimation re-
garding the location of the stamp
mill sites or they would not go
ahead with the construction Of the
line, though il was contemplated be-
fore the copper boom came on as n
natural extension of the system. For
one reason, because it furnishes IA
short cut from ioughton. Hancock
and other towns in the copper
country to points at the head Of the
lake. Copper country people who
wish to go to Duluth under the
present arrangements have to 90
considerably out of their way to
Nestoria. and many 90 by preference
to Marquette, as this is better
place to lay over. The new section
Of road will form connecting link
/ between the l1oughton division and
! the main line. It's general direction
| is southwest. The line as located
possesses remarkably easy grad
tents The maximum is one per
cent, and only one such grade is
found. That is near Ncwtons.
The completion of this piece OF
road will greatly aid in the de-
velopment of the section Of country
through which it is to pass. 1t will
not only afford AN outlet for Tie
product of its mines, but thriving
towns are certain to grow up around
the mines and in other good loca
tions. These would hardly he
founded and certainly would not
thrive without a railroad Other
Industries than mining will in time
deyelop and will prove profitable be
cause of easy rail communication
with all parts of the region.
