ward to the vicinity of Lane City, be-
ing five-siXth of a mile wide at the

will probably show a connection be-
tween these two ~porphyry reas. In
this connection it is interesting to
know that drilling operations at the
Ruth have doubled the size of the
ore body originally blocked out in
that ground.
The ore bodies occur where there
are shattered zones in the porphyry
and also where ka~olination has
allowed surface water to filter easily
through the porphyry. Because of
the direct connection between facility
for teaching and richness of under
lying ore body, it would appear that
there is much less likelihood of find
ing ore bodies under the limestone
Gaping than where the porphyry
comes to the surface. Still where
strong lines of fracture make cut

and coming it into token" money
just as the free silverites wanted to
coin their millions of mined silver
every year into twice as many mil
lions of dollars worth of token"
dollars. The governors of the minis
of Tien-Tsin, Wuchange, Canton and
Foochow bought 10000, 900 pounds
of copper in 1904 and coined it into
2,000,0 900 ten-cash pieces and A.
900, 600 tw~enty-cash pieces.
But the Chinese money makers
killed the goose that laid the golden
egg. They tried to make millions of
dollars over night, and were buried
under their own copper deluge. In
1905 China bought 100000 900
pounds of copper from US, and the
next year only $4,000. When copper
went up to 20 and rs cents a pound
two years ago there was good profit
in reshipping the Chinese purchases
back here for resale.
Andrew Carnegie used to say that
iron was either. prince or pauper.
And SO it is with copper. In 1903
copper sold at IL cents, and the
the e of copper mines had to
fight to keep out of the bankruptcy
courts. Three years later it sold at
25 cents and copper millionaires were
growing up like mushrooms especial
ly in Wall Street. Then in seven
months last year the bottom dropped
out of the boom, and the trade again
faced 12-cent copper.
Our copper consumption jumped
from 100000 900 pounds in 1904 to
610,000,000 two years later, and the
mills in Naugatuck Valley, Science
tady, P%ittsburg, and Chicago had to
work night and day with doubled
forces to keep up with orders. Two
years later the electric and brass in
dustries were paralyzed. This year
we will not consume more than $780,
OO0,O pounds of copper-a little
more than half what we did in 1906.
The iron industry has never had such
terrific ups and downs as this. The
layman who thinks that the panic of
1907 was only a Wall Street affair
should take a look at the copper in
dustry. If all other business had
been affected as copper manufactur-
ing was the country today would be

Cured subsequently to the formation
of the ore body.
The principal ore mineral is
chalcocite, but some bornite and
some melaconite is also found. The
original mineral seems to have been
chalcopyrite. This chalcopyrite be-
m extremely fine grained OF
crushing and is found, as would be
expected, mainly on the tables and
vanners treating the finer sizes at the
mill. Owing to the import influence
of secondary enrichment, most of the
copper minerals occur along the frac-
ture planes and in the more porous
rock Sc that the ore is somewat ore

The porphyry is capped in many
places by limestone and also is char
acterized by the occurrence ear it of
limestone SO extensively silicified as
to be almost quartz. These quartz

waters easy access to the porphyry
through a not too deep layer of lime
stone. some ore bodies may be found.
Mining has just began at Ely, and
as the principal companies are mining
their deposits or developing them on
a conservative basis the camp is one
of great promise. The ore at Ely
owing to the fact that it is due to
enrichments carries much
more copper than the Bingham ore.
The Cumberland Ely ore carries 3.5
per cent copper. the Nevada Consoli-
dated from % to 20 per cent cop
per and the Giroux porphyry ore
probably about the anne. There is
practically no gold in the Ely ore and
little silver. while at Bingham the
precious metals aid materially in pay-
ing the dividends.

Frustrated. One of the great cleo
trio manufacturing companies went
to the wall; the others were saved by
their accumulated resources from the
nine years of plenty.
Fortunately for the owners and
workers in our copper mines, foreign
consumers have been ready to buy
our surplus in enormous quantities
bargain prices, of course. In
the depression in our trade In 1904,
when our copper shares were shun-
ned by investors, and the metal
lowered around 10 cents, we were
able to sell abroad $40 1000, 900
pounds of the metal. The enormous
exports of that year saved American
copper mining from paralysis. Again
this year, when our home con-
sumption has dwindled to starvation
figures (they would have been
p%rincely figures when the Amalgama-
ted was floated, the foreigners are
taking our surplus in unprecedented
quantities. Our net copper exports
this year will u close 500, 900, 900
pounds. The foreigners are buying
our copper this year because we

From the remotest days of antiqui-
ty copper has been used in coins.
Copper has at times been a standard
of value, as gold is now, but it is
often token" money. Our bronze
CEN contains only a fraction of a
cents worth of metal. The govern
ment uses upwards of 8O0,O 600
pounds of copper a year in coinage.
The slot machines are big consumers
of copper. The guess Is made in
England alone 100000 in copper
pennies is constantly locked up in
these machines. Our government
has had to increase its copper coin
age to keep pace with the appetite
of the penny-in-the-slot machines.
But China is the buyer Of copper
for coinage. Four years ago ship
load after ship load of copper left
the port of New York for China and
the world was mystified by this sud-
den demand from the Orient. All
sorts of queer stories got afioat. One
story, persistently circulated here and
in Europe, was that a crowd of mil
lionaire spectators was attempting
to raise the price of copper by ship
ping it off to China, and cable news
came from the Orient that mountains
of American copper were piling up in
the interior. In three years 1O0,-
000,0 pounds of copper we're act
ually shipped to China, although
some people believed it was nearer
300, 600 pounds. A good many
million pounds came back from
China in the boom copper market
two years ago, but the bulk of the
enormouse shipment remained there.
What did the Chinese do with all
this copper? It's a funny story.
Some of the Chinese provincial offic-
ials got the get-rich-quick fever from
America, and concluded they couldn't
get rich any easier than by buying
