Demand For Copper Enormou S.

Demand For Copper Enormou S.
The condition of the copper
market continues unchanged,
prices showing no decline, in
spite of repeated rumors and
predictions of such action. The
demand for copper is enormous,
and consumption is on a greater
scale than ever before in this
country. The stock exchange
reports of accumulating stocks
are not founded on the facts.
The depression in business in
Europe still continues, and orders
received for export continue light.
Stocks in manufacturers hands
abroad are extremely small, how
ever; while the so-called visible
supplies are to a considerable ex-
tent composed of inferior mater
ial.
In other metals, trade contin-
ues good, with only small chan
ges in price. In most of these
metals also, consumption is very
large.-E. and NJ. Journal.

Gold and Silver.

The Worlds production of gold
for 1900 aggregated $257, 900, 900
in value.
OF this amount $79, 171,OO or
nearly one-third is credited to our
American mines.
Next to the United States as a
producer of the yellow metal
Australasia, whose total output
for the year aggregated S74, ,26O,-

In the silver mining industry
the United States also heads the
list.
For the year 1900 the total out
put of silver in this country ag-
gregated S35, 900. Mexico
came next with an output valued
at S35,611, 400, only a fraction
less.

Oil In Ia Luz Canon.

An oil find is reported in La
Luz Canon, Otero county. The
discovery was made in blasting
rock to rip-rap the Sacramento
road bed. The little pockets of
oil in the rock contained from a
spoonful to half pint. There
are two distinct formations. One
a black oil similar to that found
at Beaumont, the other a bright
kerosene. The find as reported
by the Otero County Advertiser,
is near the old grist mill in La
Luz Canon, about three miles
from La Luz Station.

United States Copper Production.

The Mineral Industry says:
"The production of copper in the
United States showed a moderate
increase in 1900, the total being
600, ,832,5 sos pounds, as compared
with 581, 319,O91 pounds in 1899.
There was an unexpected falling
off in the output of Michigan and
Arizona mines, which with" but
few exceptions, failed to main
tain the productive rate of the
previous year. On the other
hand, Montana continued to adj
vance, and the output for the
year exceeds by nearly 100000
pounds the record figures of 1899.
Among the other copper produc-
ing states, California and Utah
were the most prominent, the
former contributing to the total
nearly 10000, 900 pounds and the
latter over 100000 pounds.
The reports of the American
copper refners show total pro-
duCtion for 1900 of 400, ,092, ,663
pounds of electrolytic copper, as
against 3S6, 410,356 pounds in
1890.
The stock of copper on hand at
the end of 1900 was 93,O5O,230
pounds, as against S,722.559
pounds at the beginning of the
year. These figures include cop
per in the course of treatment at
the electrolytic works, but not
the mineral carried at Buffalo by
the the Calumet and Hecla COM
pany, nor the stock at railroad
depots in second hands.

Beaumont Oil Failing.

Biologists and scientists and
capital have for some time been
baff1ed in the study of the action
of the gushers at Beaumont. The
flow has become jerky and at
times ceases almost entirely.
Drillers have noticed the spas
modic flow in a number of new
wells in the district and attribut-
ed it to gas pockets, thinking the
real basin had not yet been
reached. This condition has be-
come so very common, however,
that oil men and dealers general
ly are admitting that the volume
is decreasing and think the result
is due to the numerous wells that
have been bored in close proxim-
ity and the subsequent decrease
in the pressure in the basin of oil.
Such conditions have not been
met with in other fields, and
geologists are at sea when they
try to explain these peculiar dem
onstrations in the wells of the
Beaumont district.

ALUMINIUM WOULD
DETHRONE COPPER.
The rlarket Price of Aluminium is
About Equal to Copper at I6
and II Cents Per Pound.

Aluminium and copper are COM
petitors in the markets. Alum
inum is trying to make an in
road on copper's usefulness in
electric appliances, but it has
been only partially successful.
Aluminium has failed to meet the
requirements in standing the
stresses of snow, ice and high
winds of a northern climate,
equal to copper, now being gen.
orally used for transmitting. The
price of aluminium is given by
the mining journals, as about
equal to copper at 10 to II cents
per pound. The total production
of aluminium in the world in 1900
was $500 metric tons, the United
States furnishing about 2,053
tons. The E. and NJ. Journal of
Nov. 9, says:
"The price of aluminium at
present is about on a par with
that of copper, allowance being
made for the respective weights.
The aluminium quotations, how
ever, have not been regulated by
those of copper, but have been
based, as we understand, upon
the cost of production. They
have shown little change during
the past year. There is no COM
petition tending to lower them;
but on the other hand it is to the
interest of the producers to keep
them as low as possible in order
to dispose of their output.
The main point to be consid-
cred, therefore, is to what extent
the production can be increased.
There is a general indefinite idea
prevalent that as alumina is SO
abundant and so universal in its
occurance, it ought to be possible
to extend the extraction of its
metallic base indefinitely. That
this is not the case is shown suffi-
ciently-without going into de-
tails-by the fact that present
production is so small, although
the best metallurgical skill has
been for years concentrated on
the problem of separating the
metal.
We do not mean to say that
cheaper and more expeditions
processes of furnishing aluminium
may not be discovered hereafter
That is a problem which may be
worked out by some investigator
to the great benefit of the world
and himself. 1t has not beer
done yet, and considering present
conditions, as we must, we are
unable to see any opening for the
substitution of aluminium for cop
per-or for any other metal-or
commercially important scale

The United States produced
272, $50 metric tons of copper. in

reached 492, ,625 metric tons. This
gives the United States a little
more than 55 per cent of the en-
tire product of the world.
