ORE IS BROUGHT FROM CHILE

ING AND RESHIPMENT
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 16.—With
out so much as attracting either gen
eral or particular public interest, Pu
get Sound has become in a compara
tively few recent years one of the
greatest and most important copper
smelting and shipping producing sec
tions of the world. Copper ore or
concentrates are brought to the
plants of the American Smelting &
Refiining cmopany at Tacoma a dis
tance of as great as 8,000 miles, or
one-third the way around the globe.
The longest distance is from Chile
in South America, the next longest
distance from which shipments to
Tacoma originate is Kennecott, Al
aska.
By taking a map of the world and
using the scale of miles you can fig
ure it out for yourself just how far
it is from Kennecott, near the edge
of the Arctic Circle, to Valparaiso,
near the southern end of the South
American continent.

startled into dreams of avarice by

United States engineers and Army
officers ascended the Copper Rivet
in Alaska on a scientific mission
In charge was the then lieutenant
later Major, W. R. Abercrombie, well
known to Seattle twenty-five years
ago^ Abercrombie got out a report
of his discoveries.
In Government Archives.
Probakly that book can still be
found ifr the government archives at
Washington, D. C., if anyone wanted
to take the trouble to look it up.
Abercrombie told of the dangers and
hardships of his trip up the river
and of meeting several tribes of In
dians, each having implements and
other articles made from pure cop
per.
There is not doubt that Abercrom
bie’s explorations led directly to the
discovery of the huge copper de
posits in the Bonanza, Jumbo and
Mother Lode properties at Kennecott,
Alaska. Kennecott ordinarily pro
duces between $800,000 and $1,000,
000 of copper per month. The price
paid for the whole of Alaska by Sec:
retary of State, Wm. H. Seward in
1868 was $7,200,000.
What is said to be the cheapest
copper in the wrorld comes from
Chile—that is, capper produced at
the lowest cost. The copper smelt
ing wrnrks of the American Smelting
and Refining company at Tacoma
smelt ores and concentrates contain
ing about 6,000 tons of copper per
month. Of the smelter product,
about 40 per cent is from South Am
erica and the remainder from Kenne
cott, Alaska, and from the Britannia
and other mines in British Colum
bia.
Three Blast Furnaces
Now in the smelting works of the
company at Tacoma there are three
blast furnaces, having an annual ca
pacity of 500,000 tons of ore, and one
reverberatory having an annual ca
pacity of 240,000 tons of ore and
four converters. The capacity of
the electrolytic copper refinery at
Tacoma is 102,000 tons annually.

committee, and ailso vice president
and director of the Seattle National
Bank, was here this week on an of
ficial inspection trip of the corpora
tion’s properties in the Soujthwest.
He gave the writer the following
about copper as well as the fore
going statements concerning the Ta
coma properties:
“The present generation can pro
duce two pounds of copper where on
ly one pound was produced before.
No industry was more directly af
fected by the war and its aftermath
than that of copper production. The
peculiar adaptability of the metal to
munition manufacture resulted in an
unexpected and urgent demand when
the necessities of war supplanted the
requirements of peace. Events during
the war and several years following
produced abnormal and confused con
ditions. The several governments
accumulated great stocks of metal
and then poured them back into com
merce.
Refined Copper Stocks Reduced
“Stocks of refined copper have
been somewhat reduced since the end
of 1924. American refineries turned
out 327,772 tons of refined copper
during the first three months of 1925,
against 333,672 tons in the closing
quarter of last year.
“Recent conditions, with copper
selling at 13M> cents to 14 cents are
the continuing result of the same
forces that have been in control
since the armistice, namely, the im
perative necessity of reducing costs
to show adequate earnings on ex
panded capacity, with Europe still
suffering from stagnation and unable
to take its normal proportion of the
world’s supply of the metal.
“The outstanding fact is that the
effects of the war, broadly speaking,
tend more and more to the rapid
development of hydroelectric power,
which means an increasingly great
er demand for copper.
“The day must inevitably come
when copper will command a higher
price; just when, no one can tell, but
it seems reasonably certain that the
present generation will look back up
on present prices of copper as ex
tremely low.”
