Jtl 12 'Cbc Conservative * The development COPPER. . . . of the copper re sources of the United States in recent years has been phenomenal. Prior to the end of the first half of the century just closed , our annual output of copper did not exceed 1,000,000 pounds. The world's production was then only about 20,000 tons. In 1848 the first shipment of copper was made from the Lake Superior mines. It amounted to but twelve tons. This marked the beginning of the boom in the copper industry. The world's production of copper for the century was between eight and ten million tons. The production of the United States alone for last year was 818,875 tons or more than the world's production of ten years ago. . The growth in our export copper trade is also encouraging. Copper exports increased last year by 32.8 per cent over the preceding year and were equal to 58.8 per cent of the domestic production. That the demand is keeping pace with the increased supply is evident from the firmness of the market , the price re maining at 17 cents for the entire year with the exception of occasional varia tions of a fractional cent. This shows a growing recognition of the importance and value of copper that is indicative of great commercial possibilities for the United States. THE ONLY AMERICAN GIRL TO MARRY A KING.
