The Worlds Copper Production.

One hundred years ago according
to the Copper Handbook, the mines
of the globe produced an average of
about 10000 long tons of copper
yearly-less than the present yearly
output of either nickel or aluminium
while in 1906 production is at the
rate of $4,000 long tons per week,
and there Is much talk of a copper
famine, TO which color is given by the
present price of the metal. which is
higher than for 25 years past. Ac-
cording to the Copper Handbook
just issued by Horace ]. Stevens. of
Houghton. Mich. in 1905, there were
10 individual companies. each OF
which produced more copper than
all the mines of the globe produced
in 1906, and two mines each of which
made as much of the metal last year
as all of the mines of the world made
during the first. five years of the
nineteenth century. the two mines
in question being the Calumet and
Hecla OF Michigan and the Anaconda
of Montana.
or the 10 mines of the globe that
made 25.00O.0O0 or more pounds
each of refined copper in 1905, ten
are in the United States. while there
are one each in Mexico. Spain, Ger
many and Japan. and one-the
American Smelling and Refining COM
pany- generally known as the smell
ter trust. that draws its copper ores
from numerous small mines in Mexi-
co, Canada and the United States.
In 1905 there were 1873 properties
credited with production OF one mill
lion or more pounds of fine copper
each. OF the 100 leading producers
one, the smelter trust. drew ores
from nearly all of North America,
while the others were located as fol-
lows: United States. 46; Mexico, IL;
Chile, 10; Japan. 6; Canada and
Australia, each; Spain, Russia and
Cape Colony. each; Germany. 2;
Tasmania, Norway. Italy, Turkey and
Newfoundland, each. Ninety-four
of these 100 properties made more
than 5000, 900 pounds of fine copper
each in 1905.
Figuring copper at an average
price. throughout the globe. of 20ls
cents per pound. which is trife be-
low the average quotations. the
mines of the world are making cop
per at the rate of exactly s1,000,000
per day for every day in the year,
including Sundays and holidays.
Compared with copper. the value
of gold and silver production of the
United States is as minor fraction,
great as is the output of the preci-
Gus metals, and rapid as has been the
increase in production OF the money |
metals by the mines of America. An
other fact of deep interest is found
in the surprisingly large percentage |
of the gold and silver output OF the
country that comes. as a by-product.
from the copper mines. The vast and
rapidly increasing value OF the cop
per output of the United States,
which makes more than half of the
copper produced in the world. is a
most significant development.

ERRATIC OLD RIVER
MISSOURI HAS RECORD FOR DO.
ING QUEER THINGS.
Owners Of Property Along Its Banks
Have No Excuse for Suffering
from Lack of Excitement
Case in Point.

There are rivers Of all lengths and
sizes and all degrees of wetness.
There are river with all sorts of pc
culiarities and with widely varying
claims to fame. But there is only one
river with personality, habits, dis
sipatfons, sense of humor and
woman's caprice; river that goes
travelling sidewise, that interferes in
politics. rearranges geography and
dabbles in real estate; a river that
plays hide and seek with you to-day
and tomorrow follows you around
like pet dog with dynamite crack
er tied to its tail. That river is the
Missouri, says a writer in the Amer
lean Magazine.
This thing happened in Kansas City
not many years ago: party of men
owned strip of land along the Mis-
souri, river bank. 1t was not hand
some land, but it was valuable for fac
tory purposes. They were offered
portly prices for 1t, but held on.
One day they noticed that the strip
was getting emaciated. They held a
hurried diagnosis with a surveyors
tape ans found that half of it had
been washed away. ,The next year
half Of the remainder had gone.
The men wanted to sell then, but
the market seemed remarkably slug
gish. The next year the river ate so
vigorously that only tiny strip about
as wide as piece of baby ribbon was
left. The men were much depressed.
Suddenly the land began to in
| crease. The Missouri had chosen the
late manufacturing site for a place to
deposit fine 160-acre farm upon
which it had foreclosed up the river.
Inside of six months that strip OF
land contained 200 acres. The men
were jubilant, but still they would
