weight of copper in long distance
transmission makes it more economi-
cal To use aluminium wire. About q
per cent. of the total weight of every
electric generator or motor is copper
Electricity will flow through copper
with very little resistance, travelling
at the rate of nearly $4,000 miles Il
second. Ii does not travel through
soft iron so easily and some metals,
or alloys, offer a great amount of re-
sistance to the flow of the current.
| This resistance results i'm a serious
loss of electricity through heat-the
electrical energy being converted into
heat energy i'm forcing its way through
the obstructed path, i'm the same way
that the friction of a car axle causes
a hot box
This is almost a universal age of
electricity and if civilization today was
confronted with the choice of giving
up its copper or its gold the worlds
gold mines would be deserted tomor-
row. We can get along without gold
but it would be almost impossible to
get along without our millions of
pounds of copper annually.
Copper is one of the most ancient
Of the metals utilized by man. When
the first skn-clad savage of ancient
Europe heated a lump of copper ore
i'm his fire and melted out the first
bit Of copper then the stone age pass
ed and another step towards modern
civilization began. These first little
globules of copper were hammered HAT
with the stone axes and pierced with
sharp bits of flint for ornamental use.
This first copper was too soft to be
used for the making of sharp edged
weapons and it was not until some
native genius mixed il with tin and
produced an alloy called bronze that
the new metal could be formed into
weapons, coins, utensils and Other
things which would be strong and dur
able. The bronze age lasted until the
discovery of iron and tempered steel.
then vanished in the past with the age
of flint and stone. Today the tombs
OF the Nile, of ancient India, Of
Greece and Italy yield up their bronze
statues, ornaments, weapons and utcn-
sils to testify to the craft and skill
of those ancients of the bronze age.
In America the pick Of the scientific
searcher discloses the copper orna-
ments Of the Aztec and the meas. The
mound builders had their copper or
naments and history related that even
the Indians who greeted Coronado
Ponce de Leon, Columbus and Hudson
wore copper ornaments on their person
although they made no use of it for
weapons or utensils as did the mound
builders and the cliff dwellers and the
semi-civilized tribes OF Mexico and
Peru
Down through all these centuries
copper has been of greatest value to
man. but 1t did not compare favorably
with iron and steel until electricity
came into it's own so few years ago.
Today the General Electric company,
the largest manufacturer OF electrical
machinery in the world, uses thousands
Of tons of copper annually.

OUR MOST PRECIOUS METAL

The development of the electrical in.
dustry has made copper one of the
most Indispensable of all the metals
Fortunately the new world is rich in
copper or the enormous demand for II
would make IL even more precious
than gold. Last year. according TO the
geological survey, the production OF
copper in the United State exceeded
that OF any other year i'm the history
of the metal, totaling 942.57O721
pounds In this production Arizona
led with 2SO,523,267 pounds; Michigan
had 252,503,G51 pounds and Montana
222.5O3.651 pounds.
Previous to the wonderful develop
ment Of electrical apparatus there was
little demand for copper. The temper
ing Of copper has long been recognized
as lost art and years ago copper
could only be used for kettles and
other kitchen utensils. for ship bot
toms and ornamental work. Conse-
quently there was little demand for the
metal.
The early experiments with elcctri-
city proved that silver was the very
best conductor for the electric cur

close second. Silver being out Of ques-

UNWILLING TO REMAIN SILENT
Does Not Care 10 Wait Until the
Trouble Blows Over.

Washington, Dec. 2i.--Prssident
Tart has yielded to the demands Of
both Secretary Ballinser and his
critics for public investigation OF
the whole subject matter underlying
the so called Ballinger- Pinchot con-
troversy.
Mr.. Ballinger served upon the pres.
ident virtually an ultimatum to the
effect that such an investigation was
indeed the price of his remaining In
the cabinet He made IL clear to the
president that he was no longer will
ing to sit silent in his Office in the
interior department and wait for the
thing to blow over"
Mr.. Taft, it is said, reluctantly ad-
mitted the disappointment of his hope
that the country at large would ac-
cept as final his own vindication Of
Mr.. Ballinger in his dismissal of the
charges brought before him against
the secretary of the interior by L..
r. CLAWS, the former special agent of
the land Office, and his conclusion that
the investigation demanded by both
sides in this matter was inevitable.
Mr.. Ballinger's attitude in this mat
ter has the support of leading Repub-
licans In both branches of congress-
senators and representatives-who
feel that, entirely apart from the mer-
its of the controversy itself, a tester
ing sore of this character must poison
the whole system OF the party In
power and that 1t is high time to re-
sort to the lance. These leaders, de-
termined that a cleansing of this
wound is necessary, have not hest
tated to go to the White House and
impress their views upon Mr.. Taft.
Conferences of a confidential char
acter, in which members of the cab
met, party leaders in both houses OF
congress and the president himself
have participated, have been held az

days. They eliminated when Secre'
tary Ballinger, Attorney General
