The Conner Handbook.

BY this time Mr.. Horace j. S%tevens's Tho
Copper Handbook" Horace j. Stevens,
Houghton, Mich.) has established its
reputation az a valuable, thorough and
Trustworthy book Of reference on the
subject with which it deals. 1t has inn
proved year by year. and in volume
VIII. for 1903, now before us, it not only
brings its general information up to date
but increases tho number Of mines 1t de-
scribes by nearly a third, that number
being 6.767 now.
The first 287 pages contain a complete
account OF copper, the history Of it's use.
the geology, the methods of mining and
reducing. the uses to which it is put,
the alloys, the substitutes proposed for
it. the commercial grades for the metal
and descriptions Of all the copper deposits
in the world, At the end are tables Of
the statistics of copper. The bulk Of the
volume, however, almost 1900 pages, Ia
taken up with an alphabetical list Of
mining companies, giving the location,
the capitalization, what each Is doing.
the officers, and, when the company Is
dead or fraudulent, frankly stating the
fact.
The 800 pa ges contain more trustworthy
information about copper and copper
mines han can be found anywhere else,
while they constitute a manual for this
metal such as can be found for few other
industries.
