80 good that there is a scarcity of labor in almost every line of industry. For years we had as a part of the labor problem the question of taking care of the unemployed Now the problem is to find unemployed la- bor. Business expansion has even outgrown immigration. Increasing gold production is furnishing the money to sustain and continue this industrial growth; and the crop pros poets for the present year are such as to give basis for hope that we shall draw heavily, through our ex- ports, from the wealth of other cOun- tries.
 There is unqeustionably more mon ey seeking investment now than at any previous time in a generation and industrial conditions are such as 10 make securieties unusually attrac- tive.

a consumption demand for every pound that is coming from the mines at 15 cents per pound.
 This is a period of general pessi. mism and speculative dullness. The of the market is due chiefly to the fact that it is low. as the pub lie almost always avoids low markets. It seemingly requires high prices and accompanying enthusiasm to induce the public to buy stocks. When stocks are low the public withdraws from the market and tries to reason it out that prices should go lower. The public has not been a factor in the copper share market to any great extent. except as a cash buyer, dur ing the past two years. It still per sists in figuring copper values on the basis of'a 12-cent copper market, and yet there is no prospect that we will have such a market in many years to come, if ever again.
 Business conditions are much bet ter Tn this country than ever before,
Bisbee daily review., 1905-05-21

Our industrial development has been along parallel lines. That is to say, it has been correspondiEgly broad and expansive in its cha acte- and scope It would be absurd tC
 attribute this enlargement Of our
 business in it's entirety to any par l ticular factor in our mercantile life but the fact remains that tFcre aP- pears to be a direct relation between this increase in our mineral output and the commercial growth of the country as whole.
 The principal mineral products en- tering into the industrial anu com
 mercial enterprises of the United States are coal, iron, copper, lead, zinc, petroleum, and the precious metals. so-called. At tbe present time. of course, the position Of sil- yer as a precious metal has material ly changed from its 0'dtime relation to the financial element in our mer- cantile affairs. It is shifted from a monetary status to thqt of factor in the mechanical arss But 1t is by no means unimportanL in its Lew relation to the develODmenc Of our commerce.
 As has Leen pointed out hereto fore. the production of gold in Amer ioa has contributed largely to the easy adaptation of tho worlds com merce to the adoption of ;he gold standard for money. The 'lisplace- ment of silver has been attended by none of the dire consequences whi;b were so freely predicted only a few years ago. This is mlin,y because the production of gold. both in the United States and in other gold-niu' ing countries, has far exceeded the expectations of the siIverites. Az a result the value of the gold now in use for monetary Jur1o,".s has grad ually decreased uni,! ths cost of all other commodities, g':agel by so;d'S purchasing power, has been enhanc ed and we are in m era of unusually high prices for moss ot the articles which are essential in our industri3J and household eco lcmv.
 Some very significant tabulations are given as the basis for the de auctions of the Department of Com merce and Labor. They furnish data for interesting comparisons as to the proportionate gain of this country iD the lines of growth under consider ation.
 Analyzing these figures ana com pairing percentages. we find that our ratio of increase is such as to justt fy the claim that our great prosper ity has been promoted appreciably by the mining operations reflected in their totals.
 As the departments bureau of sta tistics points out, the United States
Bisbee daily review., 1905-05-21

produces 6S,000, 900 out of the total worlds production of 330, ,000, ,000 tons of coal in 1880, the share in the United States being 20 per cent; iu 1903, however, the United States pro- duced 319,00O,000 tons of the world 8 production of S66, ,0O0, 900, the propor. tion produced in the United States being 37 per cent.
 In 1880 the United States produced but one-fifth of the worlds output of pig iron, the relative amounts being 3,S35,000 tons for the United States and 16,290.000 tons for the world; in 1909 the United States contributed nearly 40 per cent of the worlds pig iron or 1S,O00,000 tons out of an az. gregate of 46,00O,OO0 for the entire world.
 Development of copper production in the United States has been unusu. ally rapid. In 1880 the United States produced 27.0O0 tons of copper, ot less than IS per cent of the world production; in 1903 the United States produced onoihalf the worlds cop per output, her share being 311 ,621 tons against 613,129 tons for the CD tire world.
 In the production of lead the growth in the United States has not been quite so rapid as that in other parts of the world. Tn 1880 we pro duced S7,-339 tons out of a total of 233 ,294 tons for the entire world, our share being 3S per cent; in 1900 the United States produced 241. .807 tons out of a total world output of SS7 ,337 tons, the share of the United States having thus slightly decreased, being then but 27 per cent.
 Production of petroleum in the United States has increased from 26,' 25O,O0O barrels in 1880 to 100000 900 in 1890 and 10O.0G0,00 in 1903, or more than half the worlds produe. tion.
 The United States produces, there fore, 37 per cent of the worlds coal, 39 per cent of its pig iron, 51 per cent of it's copper, 25 per cent of it's zinc and 51 per cent of its pe- troleum. In the production of coal pig iron, copper and petroleum the United States leads the world.
 When it is realized that all these meIdlS anu uipeIdt pIOuuCtS are dV solutely indispensable in the manu- featuring realm, the influence of this tremendous output of each of them upon our material welfare is scarcely to be estimated Fires are Kindled, machinery is fashioned. material for manufactures is furnished, even the lubricant which keeps the wheels in motion with frictionless energy is provided, and the medium of ex- change. transformed by coinage. is made available-all through the won-

Copper is firmer and more active at unchanged prices. Lake is 15 to 15 3-S cents and electrolytic Is to 15 fl cents per pound. Quite a num- Der of sales have been made this week at 15 cents and shade better. Foreign consumers are again buying quite heavily, and domestic consum CTS who have been holding back for long time. have been forced to come into the market and buy at pro
 ducers' prices. It is well known in trade circles that a great many con sumers are in a position where they must buy copper. Producers, on the other hand, are rich in cash and bare of unsOld copper supplies. Their dis. position is to hold out for full prices, and they can afford to wait as well as not. China has recently bought from 30,OO0,000 to 40,OOO0O0 pounds more copper in this market at about 15 cents per pound for export in

 OUR MINERAL WEALTH.

To an extent scarcely comprehend ed by the person who does not take an especial interest in mining invest ments. the mineral wealth of the United States contributes annually to the wonderful advance made by the country in commercial and industrial growth.
 Some figures bearing upon .his subject have been issued recently by the Department of Commerce end La bor, through the burea of statistics. They show the production of the p-in- cipal minerals at intervals from 1880 to the present time.
 It is worth noting in considering this matter. that the commerce of the United States has increased from a value of sl.5O0.OO0, GOO in 1850 to s2,5O0.000 900 in 1904. This increase is relatively greater than that cf any other country on the face of l;.e globe in the same period.
Bisbee daily review., 1905-05-21

Although detailed statistics for the production of gold during the last year are not yet available, MT. Wal demar Lindgren, of the United States Geological Survey. has made some intefesting prognostications as to the distribution of the production among different classes of ore deposits. 4 preliminary estimate of the produe- tion of each State and Territory was given out by the Director of the Mint at the first of the year. According to this estimate. the production Of gold in the United States during 19ef amounted to 1851 300
 After a period of very rapid ad' vance in the gold production from 1892 to 1900, inclusive, during which an increase from S33 ,Q0O.O to $79; 000,00O took place. there were two years of nearly stationary output and one year of decided decrease. It is therefore very satisfactory to find that the production of the yellow metal has risen again to record fig. ures, the estimate being $S4, ,551 ,S0s against s73, ,591, TOO for 1903.
 MT. Lindgren finds that the sources of this increase are easily traceable. In the first place, Cripple Creek, the greatest gold-mining camp of the United States, has gained about 5000 900, due to renewed mining activity following the successful com pletion of new drainage tunnel, the cessation of the strike which inter. fered with the production of 1905, and new discoveries of rich ore bod ies. In the second place, new min ing district of great promise, named Goldfield, has been discovered iD Nevada, and this during the first year of it's existence, has added al least s1 .500, 900 to the value of the output for that State. In the third place, the production of California has risen nearly S3,000 900 compared with the production of 1903. This increase is due in considerable de gree to the wonderful development of the dredging industry in the Sac ramento Valley. Lastly, the smelt- ing of auriferous copper ores has re ceived a great impetus in Utah, aug rnentin9. the gold output in that State by s1 600 900. These four factors, to gether with moderate gains in the Ol Aidchdy -AOANd@4ds anu South Dakota, are sufficient to ac- count for the increase of nearly $l1.- 100000 in the production of the last year compared with that of 1903.
 MT. Lindgren classifies the gold production according to it's deriva- .ion from placers, dry or quartzose ores. copper ores, and lead ores He estimates the production of gold from placers as SIP 2,S00, ,000, from quartzose gold and silver ores at $62,754,000,

men in high places seem to be all that stands in the way of expanding financial confidence and investment demand. Such things as these con situte a temporary rather than a per manent condition. They will soon be forgotten and the public will again be moved to activity by it's continuing and increasing prosperity.
 The cOppers are in an ideal posi- ton. The constant absorption oe Analgamated. Utah, '. s. Mining, Boston Consolidated. Copper Range. Mohawk.

The people who are buying these stocks are not guessing on the future. They know what conditions are and what is likely to happen in the financial world. The public has an opportunity now to buy cOppers with the insiders and the big men.

homes and necessities for themselves and their families.
 Such class of people do not have great admiration for the habit of regularly trading in stocks or of buy ing them for speculation.
 Perhaps it is hard to make a dis tinction but there is marked differ ence between the two methods. Of course we have our bona fide specu- lators here as well, and good large bunch of them at that.
 These men are regular in their attendance at the brokers offices, and are splendidly posted on mines and mining in all parts of the coun- try. In fact we have a large group of men here who can talk very in- telligently on the geological condi- tions, the mineral findings, ana the mining and mill practice in the great camps. and many individual proper ties of the country. They are min ing men in the strictest sense and their lives are devoted to the in dustry.
 Many of them have fine prlvate collections of mineral specimens from all parts of the world. They read all the best current mining lit erature and endeavor to keep well informed on all things pertaining to the industry.
 At the same time the mass of our stock owners are not real stock traders.
 It is singular to what an extent this hanging on habit with lndivid-

Calumet, Mich, May IS, 1905
 The Lake Superior Copper Country as a community is a great holder of mining stocks. When one considers the enormous amount of sucn shares held here it seems strange that we have not more brokers offices than is now the case. Perhaps the chief reason for our having few such off ces is the fact that our people. buy shares principally for investment and not for speculation, they hang on to their shares. Both the bad and the good ones do they keep. If some of their investments prove bad-as some of them certainly do they submit philosolphically and try to feel well pleased because they own some that are really good. This of course, is as it should be.
 Most of the people here who own shares-and practically all do-are either employees of the mining com panies or in occupations largely de- pending on the mining companies. These people have been accustomed to work with both hand and brain during all their lives and they still stick to their regular employment even though many of them have made actual fortunes from good min ing investments
 They went into these investments not that they might get out of the habit of work" but because they wanted to better their material wei fare and be able to provide better

from copper ores at S4,200,000, and from lead ores at $15GOO, 900 making total production of $S4, 554,000, sum that practically agrees with the esti' mate of the Director of the Mint.
 Alaska is the largest producer of placer gold and should show a gain of at least s2O0,0OO. the output being estimated at s5,S00,O00. California will show an increase which may reach sS00,00 the production being estimated at S4,S00,000. This is part. iy due to favorable season for hy. draulic mining, but chiefly to the great development of the dredging in- dustry. Unexpectedly large areas fin Tuba, Sutter, Nevada, Butte, and Sacramento counties have proved suitable for the dredging process, while the dredging machines have been greatly improved and enlarged and the expenses correspondingly reduced. At the same time the out put due to drift mining and hydraul. ic mining is on the whole slowly de. creasing. Idaho, Montana, Colorado, and Oregon have probably maintain ed their production at the value EtdCllCa lOl d ElCdl huADDCA Ol yCdA D. During 1903 these States, respective ly, yielded s75O,O00, S4S2,000, $400,000, and $207,0 Since 1902 New Mexico has contributed over s100,00O annu. ally in placer gold, derived from veins of unknown age and obtained by dredging operations in Colfax County but none among the other States has exceeded s100,000 in out. put
 The production of gold from quart ose gold and silver ores is subdivided
 by Mir. Lindgren into the production of pre-Cambrian quartz veins, $5,454,- 900. of Mesozoic quartz veins, in the Pacific coast belt, $21. 600 900; and of Tertiary gold quartz veins in the Rocky Mountains and Great Basin, S35, 700, 900. making a total of s62,754.- 900. Auriferous quartz veins of pre- Cambrian age are,. so far as known, confined to the Atlantic States, South Dakota, and Wyoming. The bulk of the yield from North Carolina. South Carolina. and Georgia is derived from goId-bearing pyrites. In South Dakota the great low-grade deposit of the Homestead mine is considered to be of pre-Cambrian age. The small production of Wyoming should prob- ably also be credited to the same class of deposits.
 Auriferous copper ores occur throughout the United States in de. posits of widely differing age and form. Some of the greatest copper deposits, however. such as those of Arizona and Michigan, are practical ly free from gold. The gold from California's copper deposits is esti-
