DEMAND FOR COPPER.

In our last issue attention was called to the
great growth OF copper production, This
production, however, has not equaled the
demand, which is so great that all reserve
products In this country aud in Europe are
exhausted. Notwithstanding the great In
crease in the price Of copper during the past
two years, the production has increased but
about 10 per cent per annum and the con
sumption in a greater ratio. resulting in the
complete exhaustion of reserves as stated.
The capacity Of the great copper mines OF
the lake and other regions OF the United
States are taxed to their utmost. There is
Immediately south OF US, in our neighbor!ng
Republic OF Mexico, some OF the greatest
copper deposits in the world-rch in silver,
and gold, too-they are being rapidly ab
sorbed by American aud foreign capital,
many million dollars having been invested
therein within the past two years. The
superior advantages that Mexico affords for
profitable mining are becoming kLown aud
appreciated, In the richest part OF the
copper belt Of Mexico the Mines of FL Pro
greso Copper Mining ompanv. whose adj
vertisement appears In this issue, are stu,
ated. In the line OF profitable investment
nothing better could be desired, and as the
policy is not to limit investments
to large sums, but rather to invite the Co
operation Of all, it is hoped that iAany VIII

country. The contest over Mrs. Will
Iem' y i'll, bequeatoing tn fortune for
the establishment of this college, has
irst brought to light the fact that a
New York lady, Mrs Van Rensselaer,,
who was quite intimately acquainted
with and probably slightly related to
Yrs. Villains, contemplates giving the
pro. osed Sweetbriar Seminary a rich
endowment. What that amount will be
is MOI known, but it is believed by those
in ormed that it may equal, if it does
'"t exceed, that bequethed by Mrs.
Williams. over which there is such
lively contest soon to come mp in the
court. This lady has recently had a
representative in this city who has

will be made for accomplishing this end.
Mrs. Van Rensselaer,, it is understood,
insists that the name of the new school

Itlsalso believed that the lady proposes
that a condition Of her gift shall be

her bequest of over $500, 900, makes no

READ THE PROOFS /:

United States Official Report Made to
Commissioner Of the United States, General
Land Office, Washington, ID. G by geolo-
giet and mining expert of worldwide reputa-
ton, Professor Benjamin Silliman, who
spent several months there, then being con
nected with the United States Surveying
Corps, and in his official report says:
"IIere are countless millions OF tons of
itch golf quartz reduced by the great forces
Of nature to a condition ready for the appli-
cation OF the hydraulic process, while the
entire bed OF the Rio GrandG for over 40
miles Is a sluicc, on the bars Of which the
gold derived from the wearing away OF the
gravel banks has been accommodating fol-
countless ages and now lies ready for ex-
traction by the most approved methods Of
river mining The thickness of the Rio
Grande gold gravel exceed in many places
600 feet, or nearly three times that OF the
like beds in California. while the average
value per cubic yard is believed to be gre tier
in the New Mexico beds than in any other
such accumulations yet discovered.
II have made reconnaissance Of the whole
Of this gravel along the Rio Grande, and
have examined with all the care possible in
the time at my command the character OF
the gravel and its contents Of gold. Moth
ing. am persuaded, since the discovery of
California and Australia, Is comparable for
its measurable resources Of gold available
bv the hydraulic process to the deep placers
of the Rio Grande."

perts OF national reputation pronounce the
