Cornish Copper Mining Decline Marks an Era End

The London Economist notes that in the past year only one Cornish copper mine profited, with meager results likely again this year as copper demand remains weak. Ore sales rose slightly from 1881 to 1882, but average yields fell to 6 percent, the lowest in two decades, with total value drops from historic highs.
