the point beyond which she would no,

Whether an actual basis of eompro-

that II Russia refuses To act upon the

 The Indians of the district have for centuries been using the float or kidney tin which was washed down by the streams from the deposits in the mountains, and at different times tin has been mined and smelted in the crude furnaces of the older days. Some years ago Carlos Petrich tried to interest English capital in the de- velopment of these deposits. but noth- ing came of it.

COPPER ON THE RISE.


 Seventeen-cent copper is not an i'm possibility now. The stocK of the red metal is being rapidly depleted, while the demand is increasing at an alarm ing rate. Foreign demand has caused American consumers to bid higher to protect themselves, and the operator finds himself on rising market. Nor is it possible to supply this de mand. All the copper properties of the United States are working to their limit of production, more and more of the red metal has been poured into the channel of commerce, bat the price hass nevertheless, con tinued to raise. .dc ssos5r
 There is difficulty rat the present time to supply the home market, let alone the foreign; and that must be taken into account, since the foreign buyers are here, determined to obtain their wants, CT make, the American consumer pay higher price.
 This means higher-prGce for a con siderable length of time, since cop per mines are not made to oroer. but are developed through long and lculOuS .Npt,h pO OpSldlC On d SiSduNiS scale? II requires. frequently, years Of preparation to reach the realization of production, and there are few properties in existence where it re- quires but the erection of a reduction plant to convert the copper in the ground into marketable value. Where such properties do exist, mills and smelters are being rushed to compile tion, to take advantage. of the rise but even this will not tend to lower the price. since all of the properties upon which reduction plants are be- ing erected cannot supply sufficient red metal to cause copper to fall in the scale of yalue-and, as stated above. it takes years to develop cop per mine-but the mine has first 10 be discovered, before gthat can hap pen, even. az 5..&
