Abstract

WITH reference to Mr. Blount's letter—if the “series system” of copper refining was “founded on a delusion” it appears to have been a fairly successful delusion. If Mr. Blount consults “The Mineral Industry” for 1899 he will see that the Baltimore Copper Smelting and Rolling Co., which uses this system, turned out between 60 and 70 million pounds of refined copper in 1898. The Nichols Chemical Co., N.Y., whose daily output of refined copper amounts to 60 tons, also employs this method (or did in November 1899).
