The Chicago Inter Ocean speak
ing of the widespread interest in
copper at present says that'an out
put- from Alaska ore deposits is
eagerly looked for by consumers, in
hopes that it will lower the \>rice
of copper. Itsavs: In the tJ sited
States, the largest producing flpun
try in the world, the chief r^lnes
are to all intent and purposes
cleaned out of copper foV four or
fire months to come, and big pro
ducers in other parts ol the world
are in much the shVne position.
Meanwhile users of copper appre
hend great danger were it not for
the fact that this Alaska copper
will be placed in the market so
soon and will in a measure, supply
their wants.
The development of the Alaska
copper territory therefore becomes
a matter really of world-wide in
terest and the opening of this
great field may mean the preven
tion of a great copper famine.
Fortunately these mines are so
iocated that their product can be
expeditiously shipped to relieve!
the wants of the consufner in any j
part of ih.* world.
