Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Copper Mines of the World
Copper is the most universally sought of the non-precious metals, as it has no equal as an electrical conductor, and is the basis of all brass and bronze alloys. It is, therefore, a matter of great and widespread interest to determine under what conditions it occurs, and what prospect there is that the supply will keep pace with the ever increasing demand; for, though found in many countries and numberless deposits, it occurs in paying quantities in comparatively few places.
