The Sumpter miner. [volume] (Sumpter, Or.) 1899-1905, 1901-09-04

in 1901 and 1902. The report contains
figures showing the great strides made
in the mining Of copper since its incep-
ton as an industry in the United States.
In 1si5 the total output of the entire
country was only 100 tons. In 1850 II
was $50 tons in 1869 l2,50O tons and in
1880, 1900. Since 1880 Montana and
Arizona have entered the field, and the
yearly output has increased by leaps and
bounds. In 1893 the output was ST.
$40 tons, in 1890, 1885 tons and in
1900 the gross total tonnage Of mined
copper was 27O, 1888 tons.
In the comparatively early stage OF
the copper industry, that IL prior to 1880,
when the new fields in Montana and
Arizona began TO make themselves i'm
portant factors in the output Of the
United States, by far the greatest per-,
centage Of the total output came from
tn. Lake Superior region. In 1910 the
percentage of the Lake Superior pro.
duet of the total output was 98 in 1850,
~; in 1859, 95.l and in 1880, S2.2.
With the discovery of the Montana
and Arizona mines, however, the per-
centage Of the total product of copper
mines in the Lake Superior region be-
gan to decrease.
1t was 2O.7 in 1883, 1874 in 1890, and
I'm 1900 1913. The exports Of copper
from the United States, have steadily
increased during the last few years. In
1893, 50, 1902 tons Of fine copper were ex-
ported; in 1896, 1885, ,G05 tons; in 1898,
li6, ll5 tons, and in 1900, lO,0s2 tons.
The heaviest exports took place in the
first half OF 1900, when ,743 long tons
were shipped. The product Of Montana
in 1900 broke all records, being 40, ,73S,-
439 pounds, while in Arizona there was
y slight falling off.

COPPER MINING INDUSTRY.
Interesting Facts Regarding Its Rapid
Growth In Recent Ysar.

A report will soon he issued by the
Interior department Of the geological
survey ON the copper mining and smelt'
ing industry Of the United States in
1900. The industry was exceedingly
prosperous during the year. Values
remained at u relatively high level and
while some oi the great producers,
through u variety Of causes, did not
contribute as much metal as in farmer
years, others largely increased their out.

There was very great activity In the
opening of the old mines and the devel-
opment of new properties, but only n
few reached the productive stage in 1900.

THE STANDARD
Plant on the Ground and Con-
struction Being Hurried.

The assurance Of a smelter on Dixie
creek has given considerable impetus to
the quartz mining IN the Quartzburg
district and considerable development
work IL being done.
A Miner representative visited the
site Of the Standard Smelter commny's
new venture, on Monday. lie was
courtcously received by }. J. Parker,
who, during the absence Of Mr.. Kelly
has charge Of the work.
The works are situated II little over
I, of u mile from the main shaft of tho
company's mine, the Copper King. a
good grade has been established for the
tramway from mine to smelter. An
easy grade has been surveyed over the
hill To the North Fork Of Dixie creek
and u road will be built making an easy
haul to the smcltcr from the properties
in that district
The work ON the smeltcr itself IL be-
ing pushed ~ fast ~ ii can he, with the
men available, and the material ut
hand.
The ground IL cleared, and the founda-
tions are ready for the various build
invs. A substantial cribb-work founda-
ton IL all but ready to admit Of the
machinery being set up. The boilers,
engine, pumps, skipway, hot-air blast,
frc-brick, building brick, in fact-cvery-
thing il ON the ground. The heaviest
work will be to get these In place !;
meanwhile the framing and crib work,
under the efficient supervision Of Mr..
Iiusbrock, is rapidly approaching com.
plction, and il il confidently expected
that the big blast furnace will, NJ Mr..
llasbrock naivcly expresses il, "be
blown in" with the first snow.
In conversation with Mr.. Parker, the
latter said:
"The work has been necessarily slow
from the start. To get II good, solid
foudation for our crib work, on which
the heaviest machinery will stand, We
had to cut away the side of the hill.
II was hard aud heavy work, but all
hands were pulled together, and, bar
ring the placing of the machinery, the
worst IL now over. There is not much
to show apparently, for all our hard
work. but ! am more than satisfied,
considering the difficulties We have had
Ia contend with"
Mr.. Parker il u veteran Of the Span
ish.Amcrican war, holding rank in the
transportation department oi Luzon,
P.I. lie is much pleased with the out
look aud predicts n splendid future for
the mines oi the Quartzburg district
