Demand for Joppcr
In our last issue attention was cal
led to the great growth of copper pro
duction This production however
has not equalled the demand which is
so great that all reserve products in
this country and in Europe are ex
hausted Notwithstanding the great
increase in the price of copper during
the past two years the production has
increased but about 10 per cent per
annum and the consumption in a
greater ratio resulting in the complete
exhaustion of reserves as stated The
capacity of the great copper mines of
the lake and other regions of the
United States are taxed to their ut
most There is immediately south of
us in our neighboring Republic of
Mexico some of the greatest copper
deposits in the world rich in silver
and gold too they are being rapidly
absorbed by American and foreign
capital many million dollars having
been invested therein within the past
two years The superior advantages
that Mexico affords for profitable min
ing are becoming known and appreci
ated In the richest part of the cop
per belt of Mexico the Mines of El
Progreso Copper Mining Company
whose advertisement appears in this
issue are situated In the line of
profitable investment nothing better
could be desired and as the companys
policy is not to limit investments to
large sums but rather to invite tne co
operation of all it is hoped that many
will avail themselves of the opportun
ity presented 2
Mutual insurance companies are
