THE statement of copper pro.
duction of the world, based upon
: the figures collected by Messrs
Henry R. Newton & Company
shows that the total output in 1906
was 486, 1874 long tons of fine cop
per. Of this $685. tons, or $50
per cent, was made in the United
States.
The notable point about this
statement is the relatively small
increase in production shown in
1900. For several years up to
and including 1899, the increase in
the worlds copper production has
varied little in proportion, ranging
between 8 and 10 per cent. yearly.
In 1900, however, the gain over
the previous year was only 3.5 per
cent. The immediate effect of the
strong demand and great rise in
prices, which began to be mani
fest some two years ago, has been
apparently to diminish the rate of
increase in production. Undoubt-
eddy mining copper and ex-
ploration for new deposits was
stimulated, and possibly some old
mines were rushed for a time.
The.fesult of the opening of new
mines was not seen to any great
extent in last years production,
however, while it is evident that
some old and we'll known mines
have decreased their output, either
voluntarily or of necessity.
The years result is not encour-
aging to those who have been
hoping and perhaps waiting for
cheaper copper. While this is
still distant, there is some prospect
of increased supplies in 1901.
Some of the new mines started a
year or more ago will undoubtedly
become producers of some i'm
portance during the year; and, if
there is no artificial restriction,
the gain over 1900 ought to be
nearly if not quite the average
advance shown for several years
