PRODUCTION OF COPPER IN 1909
q Record Breaking Year.

by the United States Geological Survey from all plants known to produce blister copper from dom estic ores and from all lake mines indicate that the copper output from mines in the United States in 1909 surpassed all previous re- cords.
 The figures, which have been collected by B. s. Butler, of the Survey, represent the actual pro- duction of each company for eleven months and include an estimate of its December output. The Novem- Der figures for few companies were not available and these com panies furnished estimates for the last two months of the year. Ac- cording to the statistics and estim- ates received the output of blister and lake copper was ,117 ,800,000 pounds, as against 942,570,721 pounds in 1909 an increase of over IS per cent. This not only ex- ceeds the increase of any previous year but it is considerably greater than the total yearly increase since 1904.
 It is impossible now to give figures thai represent accurately the distribution of the output among the States of origin, but a few general statements may be positively made concerning the leading copper-producing States. Montana shows larger increase, again taking first rank, place lost to Arizona in 1907. The produc- tion in Montana will nearly equal or will possible exceed the States previous record output, 314, ,750,000 pounds, made in 1905. Arizona holds second place, with slight increase over the 2S9,523,000 pounds produced in 1908. Michi. gan also exceeded the 1908 produc- tion, 223,2S9,000 pounds. Large gains were made by Utah and Nevada, and California also in- creased its output considerably.
 Statistics showing the output of refined copper by plants in the United States are not now collected by the Geological Survey. Figures published by the Copper producers Association indicate that the pro- duction of marketable copper from all sources, domestic and foreign for the first eleven months of 1908 will exceed 1,400,000,000, as against 1,161,176,085 pounds in 1908. Statistics showing domestic deliveries for the first eleven months of the year, as given by the Copper Producers Association, in dicate consumption of copper ir the United States considerably greater than the previous record consumption 1885, 100000 pounds in 1906.
 Estimates based on figures fol the first eleven months, published by the Bureau of Statistics anc also by the Copper Producers As sociation, indicate that the exports of copper will surpass by several million pounds the exports fol 1908-661, ,876,127 pounds.
 According to the Bureau O Statistics, imports of pigs, bars ingots, plates, and old copper fol the first eleven months amounted to 213,100,281 pounds, and the copper content of ore, matte anc
