Udr1ed Uses Of Copper
No End to Employment of the Red Metal

at the New York terminals of the
New Haven and New York Central
roads.
The heavy power lines at the
Grand Central terminal are big users
ming of the era of steam road electri-
fication. 1t will not be long before
all trains running out of New York
to Boston, Albany and Philadelphia
will be driven by electricity, and then
will follow the electrification of other
zones of c%ongested steam traffic. The
copper mines of the country conf
IDENTIFY look forward to this electri-
fication of steam roads to give a
great impetus to copper mining in
the course of the next few years. The
consumption of copper i'll electrifying
the railroads will be enormous, for
the metal will be used in making
dynamos and motors as well as in
stringing the heavy conductors.
There's a ton of copper in the motors
of every big electric car.
With the spectacular Harvesting of
the falls of Niagara started another
great revolution. A few years ago
the ordinary waterfall away from
manufacturing towns was appreciated
only by the artist and the nature
lover. There were occasionally to
be found beside these falls pictures
que ruins of abandoned sawmills,
long since superseded by steam-driv-
en- mills, and the big over-shot wood
en- wheels were reminders of the WON
ders of the age of steam. Lut this
is an age of electricity. Water power
has come back to its own. Nearly
all the water in the East and many
in the West have been acquired by
private capital either for immediate
use or as a speculation until they
are needed. An Eastern water power

sumption is increasing enormously.
The telephone, the trolly electric
light and electric power are the big
consumers of copper wire-and all
these inventions have been developed
within the memory OF the young
man of today. The telegraph is be-
coming yearly a large user of copper,
for copper, though much more costly
is a much better conductor than iron,
and lasts longer. On the telegraph
poles along the big railroads now
may be seen the %glistening strands
of copper. The 100000 miles of ca
BILE contain nearly 100,000,000
pounds. The new Philippine cable,
laid by the government, contains
100000 TO- pounds of copper. Mil
lions of pounds of copper wire are
used in minor electric communica-
ton. in messenger call systems and
fire alarms and burglar alarm sys-
tens.
For all the uses of copper wire in
carrying electricity we are now con-
Stunning more than 2O0,OO0,0 900
pounds of copper a year. In a few
years the wire consumption will reach
a half billion. About 100000
pounds of copper are used in the ell
ectric industry in other forms than
wire, making a total of upward of
100000 pounds. These figures,
it is to be noted, represent the top
notch of activity in the electric in
dustry before the panic crippled the
mills. Just now consumption is at
a reduced rate, but this is only a
temporary lull. In the next boom
the electric trades will need $780,
100000 pounds of copper a year.
The big consumers of copper in ell
ctric manufacturing are the mush-
room growth shops in Pittsburg and
Schenectady, founded, respectively,
by Westinghouse and Edison. They

Water power can now be econom-
cally transformed into electric power
and carried hundred of miles away
on copper wires to drive machinery
light towns and run electric cars. This
development of electrical engineering
in the past ten years has been as
rapid as it has been amazing. But
the revolution has only begun.
Mighty cataracts in the hear. of At
RIGA have been harnessed to drive the
machinery of mines many miles away
over the mountains. In Mexico and
South America, where waterfalls have
been neglected since the world be-
gan, American engineers are install
ling big power plants and stringing
the copper conductors through virgin
forests, and across mountains and
canons, to mines and towns, some
times two hundred miles away. One
of the biggest power dams in the
world has been constructed on the
upper waters of our W Hudson, and
the electric power is carried mile at
ter mile up the beautiful Mohawk
Valley to light the streets, propel the
trolleys, and u the mills of the
| old towns on the Indian trail.
The mountain torrents of the Ser
ra Nevada, the Rockies and the Cas-
cades are being harnessed to electric
dynamos, and electricity is transfer
ing the West. Where twenty years
ago an electric power station was {
curiosity, today more than a tentf
of all the power generated in the
country is carried on copper wires
This progress has been possible be
cause of the ability of the electri
cal engineer to carry $4,000 or 100,
900 horse power on a copper conduct
or 800 miles with scarcely any loss
Some day it may be cheaper to burr
coal at the mines and carry the power

each use more than a million pounds
of copper a day when running full
time. They account for 1870, OOO, 900
pounds of the American copper con-
sumption.
Next to the electric industry in COP
per consumption stands the brass in
dustry. One-quarter of all the cop
per mined in the country goes to the
brass mills in Naugatuck Valley,
Conn. In that valley one company, a
computation of the leading rolling
mills, bought in 1906 upward of
$4,000, 600 pounds of copper. The
valley used not far from 200, OOO, 900
pounds a year-very nearly all the
copper that is used in brass rolling
in the country. When the industry
was founded in that valley a century
ago by the Phelpses, Goes and Hun
g%erfords, the chief uses of brass were
in making kettles and buttons. But
the Naugatuck Valley has long since
outgrown its brass kettle days. 1t
uses as much copper in a month now
as the whole world produced when
the Yankees began building rolling
mills.
oHASo Va IL uoCo vi III dSo.
There is the Yankee cIockmaker. He
is a big buyer of brass. One mill in
the Naugatuck Valley stamps out a
hundred thousand brass watch dials
a day. Nearly all the works of
clocks and watches aren made of
brass. The engineering trades con-
sumo huge amounts of brass in build
ing engines, boilers, machines and
ships. Millions of pounds of brass
are now going into motorcars and
boats. Millions more are used in
munitions of war. Cartridge cases for
war and sport are a big item in the
copper industry, and when war be-
gins anywhere in the world the cop
per miners looks for trade. One
Connecticut factory used $4,000
pounds of copper daily in making
eyelets, balls and vamps for shoes.
Hundred of tons of copper go into
the metal tips on lead pencils. One
talcum manufacturer uses 5000, 900
brass cam a year. A few thousand
ton of copper are used every year by
the tin makers. Brass, copper, or
