Impressive Copper Figures.

During the eight months ended August
30. 1913. the production Of marketable cop
per in the United States amounted 10
!. O7s. 90. go pounds. as compared with l,ols-
315 1913 pounds for the same months In lsl-'
being an increase Of 60.525 457 pounds. Az
the rate OF production for the first eight
months Of this year the total output OF
marketable copper in this country rehned
and ready for the manufacturers use III
1918 would amount TO 1.6lS35l,i 1872 POUNDS.
Do these figures indicate danger OF
copper famine? says Copper Gossip
Taking last years production OF market
able copper. which was 15sl.9203I pounds'
the gain this year as per above men
toned would be S6.i3l.l9J pounds. The
average rate a month this year was lG,-
So s23 pounds whereas the record rate o.
refinery output was reached In August
1872. when production rose 10 lfo.o3s'oSl
pounds II is evident, therefore. that the
refnerics are operating much below maxi
mum capacity Should an average rate OF
lt5 900 900 pounds each month he estao-
l.shed the yearly output Of refined copper
would he l,7i0.O00.Jc pounds. For Two
months last year production was at even
a higher rate than this. and the ability TO
output copper much faster than al present
should not be lost sight OF. There Is no
need for feeling gloomy over FEARS OF
possible insufficlency OF copper There Is
plenty for the worlds requirements or To-
day. and there will be more OF II sun IN
the future
