While the United States is the cad
ing copper producing country of the
world. still some of the l.atin-American
countries show unmistakable evidences
of large deposits. Australasia, Africa,
Bolivia. Canada. Chile. Cuba. Germany.
Korea, Mexico. Norway. Peru, Russia.
Spain and Portugal. and even Japan,
are all copper producing countries.
The greatest mass of native copper
found was discovered in the Lake Su-
perior region in 1851. This copper
nugget was 80 feet long, 80 feet at it's
widest point. had a maximum thick
ness of eight feet. weighed about 400
tons and was 80 per cent copper.

railways that have installed special

wherein copper will be consumed in
large quantities.
While the uses of copper are numer-

metal as an alloy. silver, various brass
