COPPER NOTES

one year ago upwards Of ., 600 tons
Of refined copper were stocked up on
the wharves at Dollar Bay awaiting
shipment The Buffalo arg dnery. of
the Calumet q Hecal. had immense
stores Of copper on hand, and the big
producers at numerous other points
were carrying an undue quantity Of
metal. At present the smeiters of
this and of all other American copper
producing districts are shipping their
metal as rapidly as made, The end Of
the season Of lake navigation will find
the local wharves bare Of copper, and
there promises to be resupmtaion Of
the all-rail consignment noted during
the past three winter season.
The management Of the United
Verde mine, at Jerome, Hriz, is
drowning the fire, now burning. with
carbonlc dioxide. The plan is essen
tally the same as first devised by the
Calumet q Hecla at the time Of the
second great fire in that mine. some 10
years ago Big steam boilers are used
as generators and carbonic-acid gas is
made in them from theaction Of sui
phuric acid on crushed limestone, and
forced into the mine, under the nature
pressure and gravity, the gas being
heavier than atmospheric air With
the mine openings carefully sealed,
this gas will eventually drown the
flames as eifectually az water. and
cannot ruin the mine openings, as
water would. Mining Gazette.
