COPPER PRICE AND PRODUCTION
The Metal Has Been Selling for the
Past Twelve Months at Around
ID Cenfs-Average for IL
Years Has Been Over 10.

With copper metals selling for the
past twelve months in the neighbour
hood of - cents it may be of interest
to state that over a 47-year period
the average price has been 1907
cents per pound Even figuring the
present price at 4 cents Ii is strong
cents under a half century average
This comparison makes the current
price of copper appear ridiculous,
but the fact is the price of copper
fell off steadily from an average of
22.S75 cents in 1860, to around ten
or eleven cents in 1895. The feature
however, of the price is that for the
last seven years, not including 1908,
the quotation has steadily advanced.
The average price since 1895, has
been approximately ! ) cents.
But this average was held down by
the low price of the 1S9395 depres-
sion and if the average is taken from
1899. il will figure g u cents.
II is also worthy to note that the
reduction during the depression of
1895 went to as low as 9.52 cents
whereas ] . cents may be considered
the minimum in the 1908 depression.
We have compiled below, in five
year periods, the average price of
copper since 1860, together with the
production OF the metal in long tons:

THE ELY GOLDF|ELO
SURVEY PROGRESSING
WORK NOW REPORTED IN
CACTUS RANGE-BIG AND RICH
MINERALIZED AREAS WHICH
WILL BECOME SHIPPERS TO
SHELTER.

While Ely is furnishing an i'm
mense tonnage of smelling ores, the
vast reduction works located there
want large quantities of lead ores for
1uxing purposes. and the manage
ment of the Ely works is also anxious
to obtain the high grade silicious ores
of the Goldfeld district.
To bring them with the least exr
pense TO Ely. the Ely-Goldfield rail-
road has been projected and work
on same would have been started
with energy last fall had not the
panic interviewed. Recently. the pro-
moters of the project have been at
work quietly. and have established
the permanent survey. Three weeks
ago the survey was completed past
Silver Bow and its stakes set. While
the surveyors are still in the field
they have not as yet reached the
vicinity of Cuprite, as stated in a
Goldfield paper. They have not even
arrived in the vicinity of Goldfield.
1t seems that they are now having
some difficulty in getting through the
Cactus range of mountains and into
Goldfield, and it may be necessary to
extremity of the Cactus range. If
such should be the case, the road
might pass near Cuprite TO go into
Goldfeld.
From that locality it might be
easy and expeditions TO make the
survey between Magruder and Slate
range of mountains. and then swing
ing around Tin mountain, the north
ern extremity of the Panamint range
pass on down its western slope into
Butte valley, the midst of the Ube-
hebe region.
In following the route indicated,
the road would pass very close to
Hornsilver, but would not come any
where near Gold Mountain.
The Ubehebe~ district and the many
| large deposits of smelling ores in the
Magruder range. as well as the ores
of Hornsilver, are much desired by
! the Ely smelters. There is no way
of securing these ores except by put
ting in a railroad therefore a rail
road is coming sure.
| A trial shipment of 90 tons of ore
was made from the Ubehebe district

/ properties anu NDt ore dNtIdSeu Sf0

gagged actively in work ing for rail
road for Ubehebe He and his asso
ciates are largely interested in tina

velopment. The route from Cuprit,
is the easiest practically the short

Average price Cop. produc

average -. 9.O94 ..
II will be seen that the average
price for AZ years is 1902 cents.
That copper is again on the upward
swing goes without saying, and the
larger demand that will materialize
because of the many new uses, and
particularly the eleetriflcation of the
steam railroads. should place the
price again around the level of 1906
o.. or between 10 and 20 cents.
Ii will be noted in the above table
that the production of copper was in
creased from 10000 tons in the
five-year period 1S60-65 to | .506,271
tons in the period 190O-05 a gain of
1.400.271 tons, or 1865 per cent.
The average price of copper in the
same period fell from 29.575 cents
TO 14.452 cents. or 3 per cent. If we
figure the average price for the three
year period. 1905-07. the reduction
is only Hop cents, or 81 per cent,
The larger percentage increase in the
production is a reflection of the en-
ormous increase in the demand for
the red metal.
The increase in the production for
several years past has been between
6 per cent and s per cent. Taking
Z per cent as the medium the COM
pound increase of the worlds pro-
duction from 1900 10 1920 will total
about 225 per cent. The world S
total copper production in the year
1900 was 4S6.732 long tons. SO that
by 1920 the figure will reach the total
of 2,S3S.621 tons of 2,240 pounds.
