COPPER PRODUCTION

The growth of copper production In tn,
century has been very rapid, being In In,
first daade 81, 900 tons, in the fifth POI 0O(
tons, and In the tenth decade. which ends
with 1900, 3,643, 900 tons, Of which ,96s. OO0
tons Is supplied by North America, the large
proportion Of this being from the United
States. The rapid extension Of the railroad
system OF Mexico is resulting in the opening
OF some very extensive copper mines In that
country; the richness OF the ores, which. as
rule, carry gold and silver, together with
the abundance Of very cheap labor and the
climatic advantages will tend to greatly In.
crease the North American production. One
OF the largest copper mining enterprises In
the world Is now being started by the Rotbs
ohilds, who have invested 8, 900, 600 therein |

Increase OF the worlds production of copper
