AMERICAN COPPER
CROWS IN VALUE
MARVELLOUS PRODUCTION OF
RED METAL
The Mines Of the World Are Making
Copper at the Rate Of One
Million Dollars
Day

AS recently as 1888, says the Copper
Handbook. the 1906 edition of which
has just been issued by Horace j. Stew
ems of Houghton, Michigan, the value
of copper produced by the mines of the
United States was only $33, ,S33,954, and
for 1904, only two years ago, was but
$105, ,629, ,S45, the year 1904 being the sec
ond in the history of the country In
which the value of the copper output
exceeded one hundred million dollars.
yet at the present moment, the copper
mines of the United States are produc-
ing copper to the value of two hundred
millions of dollars yearly, and the Lake
Superior copper mines alone are maxi
ing copper worth S150,000 for every day
in the year, or at the rate of more than
a million dollars weekly. so great
has been the growth of the industry,
and so rapid the increase in price of
the metal, that the production of three
counties of the single state OF Michi-
gan is as great in value as the entire
copper production of the United States
as recently as 1S97-only nine years ago
and double the value of the entire
copper output of the United States in a
year as comparatively recent as 1889.
Figuring copper at an average price,
throughout the globe. of 201a cents per
pound, which is trihe below the aver
age quotations. the mines of the world
are making copper at the rate of exact
ly a million dollars a day for every day
In the year, including Sundays and hol-
days.
Compared with copper, the value of
the gold and silver production of the
United States is as minor fraction,
great as is the output of the precious
metals, and rapid as has been the in
crease in production of the money met
ais by the mines of America. Another
fact of deep interest is found in the
surprisingly large percentage of the
gold and silver output of the country
that comes, as q by-product, from the
copper mines. The vast and rapidly
increasing value of the copper output
of the United States, which makes
more than half of the copper produced
in the world, is a most significant de-
velopment.
In 1905 there were 1873 properties
credited with a production of one mil
lion or more pounds of fine copper
each. OF the one hundred leading pro-
ducers one, the smelter trust, drew
ores from nearly all of North America,
while the others were located as fol-
lows United States, 46; Mexico, II;
Chile, 10; Japan, 6; Canada and Aus
tralia. each; Spain, Russia and Cape
Colony, each; Germany, q Tasma-
mia, Norway. Italy. Turkey and New
foundland, l each. Ninety-four of
these 100 properties made more than
100000 pounds of fine copper each in
1905.

oVERcOAT INCIDENT
BEING INVESTIGATED.

Washington. d. c., May o. Mrs.
Elizabeth Fairfax Ayres, wife of
Lieut.. Col. Charles G. Ayres, of the
Eighth cavalry. has precipitated an
Investigation of the action of Col
Robert Lee Howe. commandant of
cadets at West Point, in forbidding
young women who visited the acade-
my on Easter Sunday to wear cadet
overcoats Col. Stephen c. Mills, of
the inspector generals department,
lis conducting the investigation in ac-
cordance with orders given by secre-
tary Taft.
Mrs Ayres is said to be mixed up
In the affair through criticisms made
of Col. Howe In letters she address,
ed to the president, Gen. j. Frank
lin Bell, chief of stan, and other
high officials Of the war department.
She is a Fairfax of Virginia" and
has a son in the cadet corps of the
academy Her daughter was pres
ent at dress parade on Easter Sun
day. when the now historic cadet
overcoat" incident took place.
1.-THE weather on that day was raw
and blustery. and some of the gallant
lyoung soldiers persuaded their girl
friends to don their overcoats during
the party. Col. Howe observed this
infraction of military discipline and
called attention to the regulations of
the academy which prohibit cadets
from loaning their coats or any 9TH
Ier portions of their uniforms at any
time or under any circumstances.
In addition he ordered one of the
police sergearts of teh academy to
request the young women to remove
the coats forthwith The order was
obeyed, but not without resentment
from the cadets as well as from the
young women.
1t will be impossible for any ac-
ton to be taken in the case of Mrs.
Ayres should Col. Mills uphold the
course of Col. Howe, but the incl
dent is likely in this case to be EN-.
barrassing for her husband. Lieut..
Col. Ayres is now on his way from

SOME OF IFS LIVE FEATURES.

Springfield, H., May 9.-When the
senate met the local option bill,
which the house in passing had
amended, was reported in for action.
Senator Berry, who had introduced
It, explained that the amendments
which the house had tackled to II
were merely for the purpose of a
better definition of some of the
terms used, such as township and
precinct
After his explanation the senate
Immediately voted to concur in the
amendments. and the bill, as soon as
engrossed, will be laid before the
governor for his signature, thus put
ting an end, temporarily at least, to
the political issue which has caused
more and more trouble in each sue
ceeding session OF the legislature,
and which was destined to cause still
more if it had not been settled.
The act, as it will become a law
July /, does not represent the ex-
IRENE hopes of the temperance peo-
pie. who desired an enactment which
would permit the people of counties
as well as townships to vote on the
saloon question, and which would
give the same privilege to precincts
land wards in cities and towns. This
act will permit the people of town
ships, cities, towns, and villages, and
in counties not under township or
ganization, to vote whether or not
they want saloons.
With it the officials of the Anti
Saloon league have said it will be
possible to close at least 1900 sa-
Icons.

lnasmuch as the ward and precinct
clauses of the bill were stricken out
when Senator Berry framed the COM
promise measure which has been
passed, the bill will not affect Chi
cago. Because of the fact that the
lcounty feature also was stricken out.
1t will have little or no effect on
many of the larger cities of the state,
unless these cities by their own vote
decide to abolish saloons.
Where township lines are so laid
that the votes of the people in the
country can affect the vote of part
of the city, or where the township

then the votes of the people outside
the corporate limits will have weight
in deciding and may decide whether
