COPPER METAL PRODUCTION.

To the copper industry of the

period H gradual recovery from the
severe depression suffeVed in the last
part of 1907. Many producers that
had greatly curtailed or even Sis
pended production In opening of ! 90S
and in spite of the low price of the
metal. and nearly ell important pro-
dueers of 1907 were In operation
throughout most of 1908, and few
new companies began production
during the year. The rate of pro-
duetion has been steadily increasing
and is now greater than at any other
time in the history of the industry
The production of copper in 1905
has been ascertained by l.. c. Grafton
Of the u. $. Geological Survey,
through personal interviews and
telegraphic communication during
the last days of the year. Except one

AEWHOUSE MAY GO
INTO SEVEN TROuGHs
HIS ENGINEER NOM IN
NESTIGATING THAT CAMP
LATTER NEEDS BIG MONEY
FOR PROPER DEVELOPMENT.

The fact that NJ. NJ. Johnson. chief
engineer. has gone TO Seven Troughs
has created the Impression that Sam
uel Newhouse may take a hand in the
development of properties in that
region. Accompanying Mr.. johnson
were some of the officials of the
Seven Troughs Coalition company,
who will see that the Newhouse en-
gineer is given an opportunity 10 in
spect all of the ground under de-
yelopment. II is said that he will re-
turn with a thorough knowledge of
that camp and its prospects.
As TO Samuel Newhouse becoming
interested in Seven Troughs. il is
known that he has been ON still

years He and his foreign associates

but wherever large tonnage has
been blocked out and the ore will
yield 10 treatment they can be de-
pended upon 10 take an active part
and To lend financial aid.
Seven Troughs is low grade gold
proposition that has been held back
for lack of capital. Engineers who
have made inspections OF that dis
triet claim that sufficient develop
ment work has not been done To de-
termine the extent of the ore belt
Several mills have been built. and
repeats are 10 the effect that it has
been proved that the product yields
to treatment easily. This being
true, ii appears TO be simply a matter
of gettng the ore blocked out in SUI
ficient quantities to insure a long
period of production.
Recent development work on the
Harris lease on the Seven Troughs
estate has been of the most interest
ing character. The ore encountered
has proved the extension of the great
ledge into that territory Possibly
the encountering of high grade ore
in this property has attracted more
attention To that camp than any
thing that has been done since the
district was first discovered De-

tinuation of this high grade ore. and

basis of the shelters output and Cd
on the basis of the refiners output.
For any given year the three figures
may he nearly the same or they may
be wide apart. The year just closing
Is one in which they are likely TO be
wide apart.
Under no circumstances do we
place any reliance upon statistics of
the mine production. hecanse we
know the insuperable difficulties of
collecting them ACCURATELY. The
figures of the smelters and reflners
can he collected accurately, but they
represent materially different periods
of time. because the product of the
shelters is upward of two months in
transit and process of refining before
II appears upon the market. Con-
seduently I'm a year like 90S. which
began with the refners operating at
reduced capacity and several impor-
tanf smelters like Nashoe and Can
anea closed down, resuming opera
tons later in the year, the respective
totals are likely 10 show a good deal
of difference Obviously the estimate
of the stock of refined copper can
only be combined properly with re-
ported production of refined copper.
Errors arising from the above
particulars probably account for the
present difference of opinion as to the
amount of unsold refined copper.
The selling agencies say that they
have not got any TO speak OF. but the
refiners do not say how much they
may have in storage for spectators
and other outside persons. As we
said In the first place. We have no
doubt that there is an unsold stock
but the amount Of ii will continue to
remain matter of nncertainey for
some time To come.

beginning of the year (which was
