THE DECLINE NOT DANGEROUS.
Com missfoners Consider a Complain,
About Columbia Road.

The Commissioners received a letter from
Samuel H. Bacon. of 1926 Columbia Road,
last week, in which Mr.. Bacon complains
of the condition of Columbia Road be-
tween Thirteenth and Fourteenth Streets.
The writer states that there is a sharp
descent from the sidewalk on both sides
of the street There is space on the
north side of the street which has not been
built UP. he writes and. consequently.
not being on level with the grade of the
roadway, it makes a sharp decline from
the sidewalk. At this point the pavement
is very narrow, and Mr.. Bacon says that
should person walking along the street
make misstep it would result in a fall,
which would probably entail serious con-
sequences.
The letter was referred to Computing
Engineer Hunt for investigation, and his
report was submitted to the Commissioners
yesterday. Mr.. Hunt states that he does
not think the condition of the street is
as dangerous as the writer of the COM
plant would make it appear. The En-
gineer Department contemplates the lay
ing of a new cement sidewalk along this
locality and the parking will be moved
five feet nearer the curb. thus doing away
with the alleged danger arising from the
proximity of the present walk to the in
cline. This matter would have been at
tended to some time ago. Mr.. Hunt states,
but that there were no funds with which
to commence the work.
The evening times., 1899-12-05

The growing demand for copper resulting
ing put has caused the fear that in the
near future there will be scarcity Of this
metal. The production of the copper mines
Of the United States during the past year
has been greater than ever before, but the
demand has more than kept pace with the
output. AS result of this the producers
are receiving more for the metal than at
any other time within the past decade.
This has caused a good deal of prospecting.
in order to discover new ore deposits, and
has also been the means of causing a num-
ber Of abandoned mines to be reopened.
1t is said that II new deposits In large
quantities are not soon discovered the
price Of ore will reach point where its
commercial use will be improbable. The
important point which electricity is play
ing in the world today Is said to be the
cause Of the great demand for this metal.
1t has been found to be the only metal
which can be successfully used in the man
ufacture of certain parts of electrical ma
chinery, and with the constant advance
ment in this class Of enerprise and the ten
dency to reduce the cost to the consumer,
an unlimitable supply at q reasonable price
Is necessary.
Many substitutes have been tried and in
some ways have answered the purpose, but
copper is claimed to be the only availab Q
metal which can be used with perfect sue
cess. In looking over the field In an at
tempt to discover a way out of the diff
Guilty, the mine owners and producers have
had their attention attracted to Alaska az
being the country in which large ore de-
posits are likely to be found. Lite is
known of the extent of the copper de-
posits in Alaska
In q report made to the United States
Geological Survey by a party of survey
ors and mineralogists who have Just re-
turned from Alaska, mention is made Of
the indicated deposits Of copper, iron, and
coal in large quantities. A year ago Con-
gress appropriated a sum Of money to be
used by the United States Geological Sur
vey in investigating the extent Of the min
eral deposits of Alaska. but the amount,
it Is said, was not sufficient to enable the
experts to complete their researches. 1t is
understood that in view OF the interest
now being taken in the future production
of copper the present Congress will
be asked to make an appropriation which
will enable the Government TO continue Its
investigation.
An Official Of the Geological Survey stat
ed to a Times reporter today that In his
opinion there are large deposits Of copper
in Alaska The United States up to the
present time has been the greatest copper
producing country Of the world and has
used the greater part of the output. :
