Notes on Mines and Metals in 1902 and Local Mill News
The United Copper company and Heinze interests produced 30 million pounds of copper in 1902, averaging 2.5 million monthly. Sunrise mine owners in Granite county bought a large boiler but snow blocked removal. A New York copper expert predicts copper may reach 13 cents per pound in 30 days, citing heavy consumption. In 1902 US silver output reached 67.2 million ounces, up from 55.2 million the year before. Gold production rose to 87.7 million dollars from 80.2 million. Senator Clark’s steel gallows frame for his mine is under erection, promising higher output. The Nipper mine yielded about 392 thousand dollars in ore during receiver operation of about 10.4 months, with expenses just over 400 thousand. All Nipper ore sold to Montana Ore Purchasing. The Crofton smelter in B C, tied to James Breen and Herman C. Bellinger of Butte, is idle but expected to resume around March.
