 Chihuahua Enterprise: II is learned that the Santa Eulalia Mining Go. has lately struck very rich ore at depth l,3O5 feet in it's mine at Santa Eulalia, the first that has been struck in the shaft. A solid body of lime rock has been pierced by the shaft making the opening to it's present lowest depth a very secure one.

New York sun: The immense foreign
demand is the great and striking feature
in the copper situation. The United
Srates exports of copper for the first
nine months of this year have been at
the enormous rate of over a million
pounds daily. surprising all previous re-
cords in this respect These constant
and free exports lave given decided tone
and strength to the marke. for the met
al. Without them values never would
have been sustained at anything like
the present.
VI export movement of copper from
this country is an absolute necessity for
tie preservation of the copper mining in
dustrv on a sounl and profitable basis.
This country. being unable to absorb its
W product, is therefore compelled to
find an outside market fer about 80 per
cent of its upper output. If 1t We're
not for this foreign outlet the supply
would accumulate so rapidly as to cause
immense shrinkage in values in a short
time. Fortunately for the American pro-
Queer the Worldwide demand for cop

mansions just at the time when the ma
tive mines are prepared to produce the
largest aggregate quantity of the metal

The persistent buying of copper on the
part of European consumers all this year
reveals a wonderful power of absorb
ton which has been developed at all of
the foreign eenters of copper consump-
ton. The large quantities Of American
copper produce exported should not be
taken as indicating stagnation among
domestic consumers by any means. AL
though the consumption of copper in this
country may not be equal to the maxi
mum reached last year, it is nevertheless
large, and may be even greater than
some suppose. There is a copper move
