mining have been more thoroughly mastered than ever before. The wonderful
mineral wealth of the United States is one of the greatest factors in its

aims to deal with the principal copper companies and producers, specially those
of the United States. There has been no attempt to ferret out and describe
every one of the numerous concerns pretending to possess the merits of an actual
copper mine by adopting a high sounding title, but which have given no
demonstration of becoming either immediate or prospective producers of
importance ... This work contains data from the latest official reports, and in
addition thereto, other valuable information right up to April, 1906. The
descriptive articles and other matter in this volume have been arranged in
condensed form, so that the reader may find the salient features of the
different properties succinctly stated ... American Copper production has
increased from 60,480,000 pounds in 1880, to about 900,000,000 pounds in 1905
...." This publication appears to be
the last in the COPPER MANUAL series; however, few, if any, library sources have
this book in their catalogue. Condition: very fine; strong,
almost unused binding.
