SUPPLY OF COPPER.
Foreign Demand Increasing, Our Produe.
tiou Falling Of.


tiou Falling OF.
We have been selling over a million
pounds Of copper day all this year to
foreign consumers. The foreign demand
has been increasing, while our production
has not quite held Its own. It Is said that
our mines are prepared to increase their
output to a considerable extent, but there
Is little prospect that the supply will be
so far enhanced as to diminish the price.
In proportion to the worlds supply no
metal Is now In so great demand as cop.
per. The market for It Is very active, be.
cause, though the United States and all
the leading nations Of Europe are great
consumers, none Of them produce It In
large quantities except this country. The
United Kingdom, France and Germany
are by far the largest buyers Of copper
ingots, bars and plates In Europe, but
none Of them produces the metal except
Germany, and the German output Is only
from 1900 to &c, 900 tons a year. Great
Britain can buy copper In no part Of her
vast empire except In Australia and Can.
ada, and the receipts from these sources
are only a small part Of the metal she
consumes.
But we have plenty Of copper and to
spare. The United States produce more
than one.haif. and Spain and Portugal
one.fourth OF the worlds supply. We
sell about one.half Of the copper we mine,
though we lead the world In the amount
Of copper consumed. Great Britain,
France and Germany buy nearly all Of
the United States product that Is sold
abroad; and about one.fourth rs much
copper as we sell to foreign lands Is
brought TO this country, not for conSump.
ton here, but for conversion at our At
lantic coast refineries into plates and wire
for foreign use.
The worlds production has increased
about one.third since 1904, and II has In
creased more rapidly In this country than
In any other large producing region. But
still the supply has scarcely kept pace
with the demand, swollen constantly by
the expansion Of electrical industries.
Next to silver, copper Is the best con.
ductor Of heat and electricity; and with
the vast development Of the telegraph and
telephone services, and the new use Of
electricity to transmit power and thus sup
plant the horse and steam engine, the de-
mand for the metal steadily grows. Ger
many's consumption Of copper, for ex
ample. increased 10 per cent In eight
years. owing to her greater use Of elec'
tricity. In addition to the large use ol
the metal for electrical purposes, enormous
quantities are also alloyed with zinc IN
the production Of brass, which, next te
iron, Is the most important metal used In
the arts. And copper goes with tin tG
make bronze.
Fortunate Is the country that Is able Il
supply most Of the raw material as well
as the manufactured articles II needs. Ma
wonder the United States excite the as
tonishment Of other nations when they
practically supply 10000. 900 people with
all the breads'uffs, metals, minerals and
tibers they require and have an enormous
surplus to distribute to the world.-New

THIS THE GOLDEN AGE
Enormous Increase in Produc.
ton Of Yellow Metal.

II Is only when one looks into II In a
statistical way that the enormity Of the
increase Of gold production can be realized.
Through the 4o years represented In 1851.
1899 the gold mines OF all countries added
to the wealth Of the world the enormous
sum Of $6,66s 63I 900. This Is more than
double the total amount Of the worlds
gold production from the beginning Of the
year 1901 to the end Of 1850. The pro.
duction Of gold during these three and a
half centuries aggregated $3,i2o,72o,ooo.
according to the statement issued by the
bureau Of statistics at Washington, d.
c., and approved by the director Of the
mint.
California has contributed to the
worlds stock Of precious metals since
Marshall discovered gold In the Sutter
mill race at CoIomo, over 81 400, 900 900.
This Is Equal to one fourth Of the total
production Of the half century from all
sources, and Is nearly one half Of the
amount OF yellow metal mined between
1901 and 1850. California thus holds a
supreme position as gold producer, In not
only the record Of the latter half Of the
10Th century, but also In the record Of the
last four centuries.
During the past four years the ratio Of
the worlds gold production has increased
marvelously. This period shows an az.
gregate yield Of s. I,o43 ,40I 900, and repre-.
sents nearly one.six,h Of the half cen.
tury'S contribution TO the worlds wealth.
OF this amount s247,4I4,ooo was extract.
cd from the placer and quartz mines of
the United States, which lie chiefly in the
territory west Of the Missouri river. From
this region the world Is at present drawing
one fourth Of its supply, another fourth
having been obtained In 1898 from the
TranSvaal. The mines Of the Rand
would have even made better record last
year and the present one had It not been
for the war In South Africa. They will
make very small showing, II any at all,
In the worlds record this year, as there is
now absolutely no prospect Of an early
resumption Of operations In them.
This Is truly golden age. The world
has never seen its equal before. But the
increase In the production Of the precious
metal In recent years has been SO extraor.

The prospect is, therefore, for much

hUMBUG HARMONY.

The Sewall-Gear machine says that
WIN. Haywood has made himself very
offensive in the past to a large MAJOR
ity of the party in the Fourth district
and we simply did not propose to allow
him to go to the convention" and the
machine thereupon rejected Henry Wa
terhouse. J. Il. Atherton, Frank Hogs
and NJ. p. Robinson as we'll as Mr..
Haywood. as delegates to the Terri
torial convention and elected in their
place Gear, Harrington and Coney, all
Bulletin employees, to demonstrate how
eager they are for harmony" and a
full representation of the party"
Mr.. Haywood's offensiveness Is ex-
clusively to the machine clique and
consists of two heinous crimes; first he
does not grovel in the dust when H. NJ
Sewalrs name is mentioned; second he
has had the temerity as Federal In
ternal Revenue Collector to appoint as
sistants without consulting the ma
chine. For this wicked conduct the
machine has decreed that he must be
disciplined, and to COW all opposition
all who act with Haywood are also to
be excluded from party control.
The machine tells such men as those
above-named that 1t has no use for
them and then pirates about harmony
The only harmony" wanted by the
Sewall-Ge outfit is that which gives
them the whole control. 1t is the har-
mony which exists between the tiger
and the lamb when the tiger finishes
dining.

NEW YORK. Sept. 5.-A special to
the Herald from Washington says:
Turkey evidently intends to be pre-
pared to resist any attempt which may
be made by foreign governments to COL
lect indemnities by force. Consul-Gen-
eral c. M. Dickinson, at Constantinople,
has cabled to the State Department
announcing that the Sublime Porte has
awarded a contract for the construc-
ton Of two torpedo boats to a ship
building firm at Genoa.
The department has also been in
formed that the Turkish naval depart
ment has completed the plans and
specifications for the cruiser which is to
be built in the United States.

The death of Arthur Sewall removed
the most distinguished Democrat in the
Republican State of Maine. He was
also a leading American shipbuilder
and a general man of affairs whose
place on the Democratic Presidential
ticket in 1896 was earned by substantial

ent year Mr.. Sewall was large pur-
chaser of Hawaiian securities.

One Bulletin excuse for the out

in this case the old adage needs to be
reversed. No excuse at all would be
better than that.
