The New York Commercial Of late
date has an exhaustive review Of the
copper situation, in which the conclu-
sion is reached that the production
this year will exceed that of last year
by sixty-eight million pounds. Ari-
zona is credited with more than One-
third OF ,his increase. The largest in
crease will come from the Bisbee dis
trict. The prediction i made that
Arizona output of l40, 900, 600 pounds
for 1903 will be exceeded by 1000, ,0OO
pounds. For Arizona to beat the
record Of 1902 it has required that Il
number of new mines should com"
into production. The output OF me

terially, pending the installation o'
new equipments. and the output al

ducer will be swelling the volume ol
