pull through in some manner and most of
them are now inclined TO the belief that
some arrangement will be patched up by
which powerful company will succeed
the Secretan syndicate and carry the
copper load. Unless this is done
the surplus amounting TO 10000 tons Of
copper will come upon the market at once
at a low figure and paralyze the copper
production for a year. Superintendent
Couch says his company, the Boston &
