v. S. BY FAR LARGEST
PRODUCER OF COPPER

The United States is by far the
largest copper produ- er in the world !;
in fact, this country produces more
than all the rest of the world to-
gether. The growth of the copper in
dustry in the United States has been
notable, according to figures con-
piled by the United States Geological
Survey. In 1S45 the production was
224 900 pounds; in 1913 it was 1,224,-
4S4,O9S pounds. TIE total production
Of the United States from 1850 to
1913 was 1S.757 .476.9l0 pounds.

GOLD, MORE GOLD

a ton gold ore body discovered in a
tunnel, says tie Rocky Mountain
News.
And here is another story that
comes direct to the Rocky Mountain
News from that country: About
twenty miles from Durango is a
group of claims, eight in number,
which have the same geological for
nation which chars cterizes the ia
nous Comsock lode in Nevada and
the Camp Bird mine at Ouray. Min
ing men and foreign experts all state
that in the La Platas,- where this
property. is situated, the prospects
for big mining camp are as good
as they We're at Cripple twenty
two years ago. But there is no cap
ital available here, and what we
need is capital and intelligent devel-
opment."
The time was never more propit-
ious for the introduction of capital in
Colorado to develop mining. But not
wildcat mining on the strength of a
phenomenal strike.
There are other Cripple Creeks
and Leadvilles, more Camp Birds
and Cresson mines in the state ii
hxa
to find new camps and new mines
is to encourage the search for them
by placing mining on high plane.
Mining is independent OF the world
wars and outbreaks in other parts
OF the COUNTRY. There is a market
for gold always. The mints are new
er closed. War calls for many of
the less precious metals that are
mined by themselves or in conjunc-
tion with gold. When this war is
over there will not only be demand
for gold and silver to meet the huge
debts CT the nations at war, but al
so for copper. zinc and lead to re-
pair the ravages of war all over Eur
ope.
In the established districts in Col
orado there is a greater activity this
year than for a dozen years. Gold
is being found where it was not
dreamed of before and 1t is being
mined in richer quantities in the gold
zones. Colorado will take the lead
again in gold production for 1915
Thds much seems certain before the
first quarter is closed.
