Show UNSEEN COPPER IS . HARDLY ALARMING "What do you think of the reports to the effect that the world Is teeming with unseen coppor metal?" was the question put yesterday to James G. Berryhlll, a director of tho Nevada Douglas Copper company and a closo student of the copper situation, who reached Salt Lake from his Iowa headquarters on the morning train. "I do not believe that there are such supplies of invisible copper at home or abroad as one can road about," was Mr. BerryhiU's reply. "Consumption lias been growing at a very fast rate, and I believe be-lieve tho metal has been sold for actual use rather than for reservation in the hand3 of speculators. But viewing the market position of copper and the fear of runaway market prices, I am not certain cer-tain that a little Invisible coppor In the world would be much of an unwelcome factor after all." Mr. Berryhlll said that his visit to Salt Lake was for the purpose of getting in touch with Nevada Douglas conditions. It Is generally appreciated that lie Is strongly strong-ly in favor of the company Installing Its own smelting plant at Ludwig. Nev., to handle the copper tonnage of his company as well as custom ores on the expiration of the present smelting contract tho Ne-,vada Ne-,vada Douglas company has with the Mason Ma-son Valley Mines company.
