Copper Producing Districts.

MT. Walter Harvey Weed. in recent number of the Mining Mag azine gives the following interesting facts: The production of metallic copper in the United States for 1903 was 60s,04i.5l1 pounds of value of s9l ,506.O06. In 1902. II per cent, or about 2S9 million pounds, were produced from an area q mile long and one-half mile wide, at Butte, Montana; 25 per cent, or about 156 million pounds. from strip of country two to six miles long. extending through the center of the keweenaw Peninsula. Michigan; and Is Der cent, or 130 million pounds, from four isolated districts in Arizona; of the remain ing l2 per cent. the greater part comes from Bingham, Utah; kes- wick. Cal, and Ducktown, Tenn. The gold and silver mines of the country, notably those of Colorado. contribute about one per cent. of the total production which is ob- tained as a by-product in smelling for the precious metals.
 Of the six largest mines in the world four are in the United States. the Anaconda mine oi Butte itself furnishing one-seventh oi the en- tire worlds supply of copper. and the Calumet and Hecla nearly one eighth.

Rich Find Near Nome.

In the latter part of September a iabuiously rich pay streak was dis covered on Little creek, a tributary of Snake river, near Nome. Tie discovery was made while assess ment work was being performed, and but little actual work was this year attempted. A test run with three men at the boxes produced $2,OO0 for a days run. The gold is visible all. through the gravel, and it is considered by those who have seen it to be the richest strike ever made in Alaska.
 The creek was located in 1900 by q Mir. Brown, and he has since been doing nothing more than as- sessment work sufficient to hold the property. Next year. it will be worked extensivly.
