WHERE GERMANY NOW SECURES COPPER.

Where Germany is obtaining her present supplies of copper is a question of considerable interest. Before the war she obtained most of her copper from the United States, taking over one-third of the exports. She had a large stock at the outbreak of hostilities but this must long before now have been depleted. Since Germany has extended her sphere of in. fluence it is probable some supplies are coming from other countries. The Servian copper mines are now being extensively exploited by the Germans and Austrians, and good copper deposits are also found in Poland. Work has begun in lead and copper mines in Kielce, and in Miedziana, Lysa Gora, and Olkuss the methodical exploitation of these ores has recently been started.
