tlgures of ISOti this is a decrease of
4S. 809,191 pounds, or 5.6 per cent
the largest actual decrease ever
recorded and the largest relative de
crease since the American copper in
dustry became important. This Is
the first time since 1901 that the
annual production has been smaller
than that of the preceding year, and
the first time since 1872, that it has
been smaller than that of the second
year preceding.
The total given above Is made up
of the line copper content of blister
produced and of the smelter output
of ingot and anode copper from
Michigan. Of this quantity, approxi
mately 10,075,048 pounds in blister
were produced in foreign smelters
from domestic materials exported.
In addition to the domestic mater
ials handled, smelters In this coun
try turned out as blister 64,145.648
pounds from foreign ore, concen
trates and matte. Domestic blister
containing 4 2,350.963 pounds was
exported unrefined, while blister
from foreign sources containing ap
proximately 183.530,132 pounds fine
copper was Imported for refining in
this country.
The greatest decreases In smelter
output are shown by the returns
from the three states that rank the
highest. Montana's production,
which was 294.701,252 pounds in
1906, was but 224.263.789 pounds
in 1907, and the state yielded first
place to its rival, Arizona, whose
production, however, showed a de
crease of nearly 6,000.000 pounds,
from 262,566.103 pounds In l!nfl to
256.778,437 ponndB In 1907. Michi
gan still holds third place, with Re
production decreased from 229,695.
730 pounds in 1906 to 219,131,503
pounds in 1907. Decreased produc
tion Is also shown by the returns
fom Alaska, Oregon, Washington
and North Carolina.

GRANTS PASS. Or., Aug. 7.
This city is surrounded by lire on
every side. On .Monday, n fire es
caped from the Chaussee place, just
outside the city limits, nnd has been
burning over the hills in a most
spectnculnr manner. Today It re
newed Itself and swept around the
south hill slope in a menacing man
ner nnd threatened to burn up the
farm houses of Morris, Seovlllo and
Morrison and other ranchers on the
north and east side of the county
road in that vicinity.
The buildings were saved by back
firing, and the damage was not great
outside of fences and a few out
buildings.
This morning a number of citizens
volunteered to go out and do what
seemed best and by noun the number
had been Increased to 100. In sev
eral Instances, in its rapid stride of
destruction, the lire leaped among
pines and shot skyward 200 feet, 11-
umnlntlng at night the whole town.
By hard work the I. O. O. F. cem
etery has been saved and It Is
thought that Jones Creek valley is
out of danger. The heaviest damage
to wood and fences.
About 50 men are stationed to
night along the northern part of the
