HELENA, Mont. March l9.-The re-
port of the bursting Of the French cop

prise to the Montana copper miners, as
such news has been expected for several
days. The Montana copper mines in
the syndicate comprise the Boston and
Montana, and the Anaconda and Butte
reduction works. the aggregate output
being 10000 900 pounds a mouth. An
official of the Boston and Montana, re-
ierrlng TO the effect OF the collapse,
says: "lf this news proves true.
the result will be the shutting
down of all producers which are not in
the syndicate. The recent high price of
copper has induced the smaIle; opera

the failure of the pool the price of cop

small mines will close. Both the Boston
