Copper Ore in the Greclan Archipelago,
 Many of the numerous islands which are dotted over the Grecian Archipelago, on some of which We have telegraph stations, seem capa- ble of supplying considerable amounts of copper ore if the roads in these mountainous districts were such as to insure a comparatively easy trans port. Unfortunately inmost cases this is not SO and where mines have to be made roads have also to be con stlucted, which of course makes the undertaking very expensive, Cham bers' Journal.

The Biscuit Trust Too.

The whisky and cordsge trusts, having
received he attention of the department
of justice. the next move to be made will
be against the biscuit trust. The Chicago
Tribune says District Attorney Milchrist
is engaged in looking up facts in connec,
ton with the combination doing business
under the name of the American Biscuit
and Manufacturing company, an Illinois
corporation.
The attention of Charles NJ. Horton, of
the department of justice, who is at pres
ent in tie west investigating several
combines, win be called to this biscuit
monopoly upon his return. Mr.. MIlchrist
is said to be in possession of some con.
vincing facts relating to the methods
pursued By the American Biscuit and
Manufacturing company, and that he has
sufficient evidence to make out d prims
facie case of violation of the Sherman
antitrust law.
There is nothing that the government
cares to make public regarding this al
legged biscuit trust at this time" said Mr..
Milchrist. II have no doubt, however,
but that monopoly exists and the people
are helping to pay big dividends"
