Talks on Mining Congress.
NEW COPPER HANDBOOK
ISSUED BY H. j. STEVENS

The eighth annual edition of the Cop
per Handbook, just issued by Horace J.
Stevens of Houghton, Mich, is an i'm
provement on the former editions,
which have come to be accepted as the
standing reference book on the red
metal industry. The new edition of
1900 pages contains one-half more mat
ter than formerly.
The principal chapter of the book,
devoted to detailed descriptions of the
copper mines of the globe, has 1,lS5
pages, describing 6,767 copper mines
and copper companies, in all parts of
the world, comparing with 1927 listed
in the preceding edition. This long
chapter, which was undevised in volume
VII, owing to fire, accident and illness,
has been completely rewritten.
Copper is considered under a great
variety of heads, in the preliminary
chapters of the book, these giving, in
non-technical but correct language, a
vast amount of information relating to
the geology and mineralogy of copper
and copper ores, with chapters devoted
to mining, milling, smelling, teaching
and refining, and yet other chapters
treating of the history of the metal,

brands, grades, substitutes and uses.
Tie very complete glossary of mining
terms is reprinted from Vol. VII. The
final chapter, devoted to statistics, is
the most complete and compendious
given in any work dealing with the sub
ject, whether issued officially or pri-
vately, and it's authority has been re-
cognized officially and by the copper
trade.
1t is rarely that a single work is
found of such general Importance to
such a great diversity of interests as
is the Copper Handbook, which is prac-
tically an encyclopedia of the entire
subject of copper, and, as such, is of
equal interest to the miner, metallur-
gist, ~reiner, producer and consumer.
To the investor or Spectator in copper
shares, it is as nearly indispensable as
a work of reference can become.
As usual, the Copper Handbook is ex.
ceedingly frank in its comments, and
the descriptions of mining companies
considered by the author to be dishon-
est, are marked by the utmost limit Of
plain-speaking.

Tonopah, May l2.-Speaker j. b.
Giffen of the late Nevada assembly,
has a plan for the practical remonetiza-
tion of silver, or for at least reviving
it as a money in the United States,
which bids fair to be discussed as
widely as was his a~nti-Japanese reso-
luton, and, as he puts it, if the people
III Nevada will take hold and work
for their own interests as one man, it
viii have the effect of enlisting the
aid of Utah, California, Idaho, Mon
tana and other silver producing states
and territories. The plan is original
with Mr.. Giffen to a great extent and
is very brief and to the point. He
states as follows:
"Let all customs duties be paid in
gold as they are. i would leave the
gold settlements between nations,
debts payable in gold where citizens
of two nations are involved, to be un.
disturbed.
81 would place a duty Of 81 an ounce
pm imported silver. Then let, silver
be coined on a basis of 20.67 to one.
That would insure the coinage Of
American silver only, and would re-
store it as a money metal.
IF Eastern people could not be in
duced to use silver as money, l would
favor storing it in vaults, the cost of
which in comparison to the benefits
would be ineonsidersble. l could IT,

been with the mining congress and
watched and helped it to grow ever
since we first organized it in 1s9'. From
a weakling, it has grown in members
and influence until il has become one
of the most important factors IN the
mining world of today. Its sphere and
usefulness are spreading, and the sue
cess Of this session will have a weighty
bearing toward inducing the national
government to grant the establishment
of a department of mines, who's, secre-
tary shall be a member of the presi-
dents cabinet.
"In the membership of the mining
congress are the brightest minis and
the most influential men in the mining
industry, which is now producing an
nually about 50, SOC, 600, 900. These men
will come to Goldfeld and view its
wonderful mining discoveries at some
time during the gathering. Their visit
will result in a better and broader un-
Outstanding of the great mineral re-
sources of Goldfeld and Nevada, and
will lead to the investment of a large
amount of capital which has not here
tofore been attracted to this state.
"From this time forward a thorough
organization of committees and sub
committees should be formed and main
tanned in every county and city of the
state, for the purpose of arousing inter
est in and cooperation in the work of
the coming session of the congress. Ne
vada should come to the meeting with
a state membership Of at least 500. The
best mineral collection it is possible to
gather should be brought together for
this occasion, to exemplify the great
mining resources.
An Orator Is Needed.
"And another matter which should
not be overlooked by the executive
committee here is the selection of the
brightest talker, the best orator that
the state can provide to set forth in
the most forceful manner the enchant-
ing story of Nevada and her gold and
silver, her copper and lead, and other
mining resources and opportunities.
",When their interest has been en-
livened, and their enthusiasm aroused,
and they have been given a preliminary
understanding of the facts, the visitors
will be better able to quickly and def
nitely grasp the immensely Of what they
will see while underground in the big
mines, where these wonderful mining
discoveries have been made.
"Goldfeld and Nevada will receive
great and lasting benefit from this
gathering of the mining congress, and
the people of Goldfeld and the state
should see to it that nothing is left
undone which may add to the success
of the meeting in its best and broadcast
sense

COL. EWING TALKS MINES
AND MINING CONGRESS

az have seen about all the biggest
mines in the country during the last
forty years, but the ore shoot known
as the Hampton stope, in the Goldfeld
Consolidated property, is the largest
and thickest body of rich ore / ever
saw. / believe il is the greatest mining
discovery ever made in the world"
This statement was made by Col.
Thomas Ewing of Denver, first vice
president of the American Mining Con-
gress, after an inspection of the Hamp-
ton stope during his visit here this week.
Colonel Ewing is one of the best and
foremost mining operators in the West,
his interests extending into nearly every
mining state and territory, and his ex-
perience covers a period of unceasing
and successful mining activity which
dates back to California as early as
1852. The Colonel's opinion will be
accepted as authoritative throughout
the length and breadth of the land.
Don't Blame Unbel1evers.
81 don't blame the public for hest
tating to believe the truth about this
wonderful discovery. 1t is astounding
in it's immensely, and no one can fully
realize that there is in existence an ore
body of such vast wealth until he is
brought face to face with it, and even
then it almost battles him.
of record production from the Hamp-
ton stope if they wanted to exert them
selves for that purpose would make the
entire civilized world sit up nights in
establishment. 1t is the mining marvel
of all ages, and it is doubtful if the
equal will ever again be discovered
/ mean an ore body of equal richness
and thickness.
"One of the interesting things to me
about this ore shoot is that it confirms
an idea which l formed in the early
days of the camp that there was an
immense ore deposit in this particular
piece of ground. In fact, l was so well
satisfied of it at that time that | de-
termined to buy it, and would have
done so but for the fact that l was
suddenly taken ill and compelled to 90
to Los Angeles. 1 directed a certain
mining engineer to complete the deal
for me, but he turned it down am,
failed to carry out my instructions
am pleased, however, to know hat my
early opinion is being more than bone
out by recent developments.
Talks on Mining Congress.
Reverting to the subject of the APP
preaching session of the mining con-
gress, Colonel Ewing sail:
81 look forward to the meeting IN
Goldfeld in September with the belief
that it will be the most successful in
the history of the organization. hav"
