ALASKA COPPER OUTPUT
EF'FECTS WORLD'S MARKET
S00 Per Cent Increase in Yeaf 1911
Over 1910. Demand Grea'er Than
Supply.
WASHINGTON, D. O.. May S? The
Inlted States t;e">K?g|. al Survey has
just issued an advance statement of
I he production of copper In 1911.
This statement, prepared by B S
Butter, gives the final ft*ur? & of
product ton as nrnde up from report*
from all: the reditrtlon plants.
The total smelter production from
ores nitnod in the United State* was
3.097.232.749 pounds. This Is the
largest production In the history of
? >i rivalry a-id com < r? i v-oraby
with the output of 1 .OR I '(><? lbs
for 1910
The most no'ahle Rains were made
l>v \ In >V a and I'tah. the production
o? \la?ka increasing from 4.311 02fi
pounds in 1!?1? to 22.31 4, RR9 pounds
In 1911. and that of t'tah from 12"'.
1?">.4.">:. pounds in 1910 to 142.340 215
l>onnd? In 191 1.
The States showing the most mark
(d fairing off in ojitpnt were Call
iornia and Montana
In California the derTp*ce ?as due
to difficulty in <-ontrolling smelter j
fumes, in Montana it was caused by
voluntary curtailment due to the ?nn
>MMon of the copper market.
The consumption of copper in the
rutted Stnt?>? for 19H was apparent-:
lj somewhat smaller than |n the
pr.'\io?is year, hut the amount export
cd was considerably greater, so thaf
the storks of refine! copped held In
