THE PROSPECTS FOR COPPER.

(From Engineering aud Mining Jour.
nal, December ~
IL is expected by some, who are in .
good position to judge, that soon after
the end of the war sharp rise in the
value of copper will take place, the
reason for this view being that at
about that time the output of the re.
fneries will begin to show the curtail.
ment at the mines in October and No
vembcr. Also by that time the cur
rcncy difficulty will doubtless have
been overcome. There is no question
that the accumulation of stocks was
greatly reduced by the heavy sales at
the end of October, although since
then the current production has in.
creased them again to some extent.
If further rise takes place there
is little reason 10 anticipate that il
will be either high OF of long duration,
for the reason that U American in.
dustry has entered upon n period of
recession and reduced demand, rs is
now recognized. and ca the day of
large production of cheap copper from
Bingham. Ely and elsewhere is close at
hand.
II IL time for producers to forget the
abnormaily high prices of the last two
years and make up their minds to
carry on their business in rational
way. We mean that the producers who
were able to make n profit out of cop
per that cost l5c to produce ought to
thank their lucky stars for their abil.
ity while it lasted. but ought not 10
draw sucn long faces because they
cannot always do so. Even now the
price of copper is fairly high. rs wit

Increased Activity In
The Congress
District
Reduction Plants For
United Gold, And
Coronado

tFrom tuesday DdIy)
Two new cn.stamp mills will soon
be- added TO the reduction plants now
in operation in the Congress section,
according TO the statement of ID. j.
sullivan. president aud general man.
agcr Of the United Gold Mines com.
pany. to journal. Miner representa-.
tive here yesterday.
One of the mills will be installed by
the Coronado Gold Mining company
and the other by his concern.
"The Coronado Gold Mining com
pany has u dam under construction on
u branch of MARTINEZ creek, near its
mill site. The concrete wall Of the
dam, forty feet in height, is almost
by riprap on each side. II IN calcu
lated to insure water supply more
than sufficient for all milling, mining
and camp purposes.
Speaking of his concerns proper
ties. Mr.. sullivan said: 1.-THE site is
now being prepared for the new ten
stamp mill. Concentrations and n
cyanide plant will he an important fea.
turc of the new plant. A water right
has been located on Cumberland creek,
where n dam will be built to impound
water to supply the plant and mine.
The mill will be installed short dis.
lance from the Alaska shaft. This
shaft is now down over 400 feet along
the vein and the ledge is opened from
il by LOO feet of drifts exposing ore
bodies rich and large enough TO Justify
the erection of tne new plant. The
principal development is on the Alaska
claim. The vein parallels the Con.
gress vein half mile TO the south,
dipping to the north. The ore is of
the same general character as that be.
ing mined in the Congress. II will re-.
hire tine same kind Of treatment, or
at least very similar treatment. The
last payment on the purchase price Of
the Alaska group was made Monday 20
the heirs Of Dennis May, and the com.
pany is amply financed to continue de.
vclopments in the mine and install the
new plant.
Mr.. Sullivan said that the mining
interests of his district appeared to
have suffered none from the financial
and stock disturbances in tne east.
"Thc Congress has increased its force
considerably during the last two
months, the Octave is doing wen and
there are no idle men in the district"
he concluded.

cndar year have now passed and the

continent has shown "a decrease OF les..

$4,000 pounds represents the falling
Oft in the Butte camp.
During the past month tho only dis.
trict to show an increase was Utah.
and the output Of copper from that
state for November was the iargcs. in
the history, nearly 100000 pounds,
some estimates placing the figure even
higher. This is an increase Of nearly
100 per cent over the production Of
November. 1906. The lake maintained
its production, the November figures
only falling off $4,000 pounds. The
loss in Arizona amounted TO nearly g.
100000 pounds, and Mexican produe.
ton likewise fell OF about 100000
pounds.
The restriction in production has
been primarily by the Amalgamated
and Colc-Ryan interests. Paelps
Dodge 4 Co. have cut of between >,
100000 and 100000 pounds per
month, and Senator Clark has re
strictcd about as much. Custom
smelling for the small mines through
out the country has largely ceased, as
there is no profit, with the present
price Of the metal, for the small mines
1t is evident that the production Of
copper in the United States for the
twelve months Of 1907 will record de-
crease of about 160,000,0O0 pounds, or
l2 per cent, whereas ordinarily an in
crease of ) per cent, at minimum
should be looked for. II is therefore
evident that the consumers have 22o
100000 less copper to rely upon than
would have been the case under nor
nal business conditions. This is about
the amount Of the copper accumulation
resulting in the drop in the price OF
the metal from 25 TO 12 cents per
pound.

The average for these ten years, in.
GLIDING periods Of low prices and high
prices, is 1880, which is only IA little
more than the price of Lake copper to-

turn to the abnormal and unsafe levels
Of l0O6s
In the case Of the western mines,
which suffered increased labor costs
conditions have now returned to the
normal by the reduction Of wages, and
also the reduction in tine number Of

average efficiency.
The simple facts of the situation
are that the mines which have n high

have been naturally eliminated. SINH
larly, those mines which took advan.
tage Of AN exceptionally high price for

been driven back to their normal con.
