Not illustrated. 1898 Excerpt: ...Cuba, and got their copper from here. He therefore communicated with the writer and procured a sample of native Cuban copper, which proved, upon analysis, to be identical with that used in the copper ornaments mentioned. In the early part of the present century some English capitalists purchased these mines, which are 9 miles from Santiago. The books of this consulate show that from 182S to 1840 an average of from $2,000,000 to $3,000,000 worth of copper ore was shipped annually to the United States from these mines.

The Juragua and Daiquiri iron companies (American), with a combined capital of over $5,000,000, now operate mines in this vicinity and employ from Soo to 1,400 men, shipping to the United States from 30,000 to 50,000 tons of iron ore per month, the largest portion of which is used at Bethlehem, Steelton, Spa...
