Copper prices differ by type still favor lake copper
A Lake Superior report notes lake copper commands a premium over electrolytic brands and will likely continue to do so. Western electrolysis refineries seek silver savings, Montana copper yields higher conductivity, while lake copper leads in ductility for wire. Major mines like Calumet & Hecla and Anaconda show profits near a million dollars monthly.

New Mohawkite Mineral Found With Copper Nickel Arsenic
Special Correspondent reports a fissure vein at the Mohawk copper mine in Keweenaw county yields a new mineral named mohawkite. Dr. George A. Koenig analyzes it as a copper arsenide with nickel, cobalt, and arsenic, offering high alloy potential and low waste in smelting. The find boosts copper and nickel markets, with mohawkite promising valuable commercial use in alloys and industrial applications.

Copper market forecast from R H Farquhar cited in Denver
R H Farquhar of New York argues the copper advance is not market manipulation driven. He notes heavy German English French and Russian purchases and rising electrical demand. He predicts a sharp May rise unless production surges, citing limited 1899 to 1900 production gains and higher demand across uses.
