Hill, too, he believed, had dug his own

ceVards the conflict there PRACTICAL ir-
reconcilable. The party, he says, must

him in Massachusetts, Pennsylvania or

why, what is the matter with Glad

Production.


The Min Owners Propose to Limit the
Production.
New YORK, March 12.-Rumors of a
great combine which, If effected, will
involve millions of dollars, just now
are proving matters of prime interest
to manufacturers and dealers In cop
per and to holders of copper mining
stock as we'll as to mine men gener-
ally. For the past two or three weeks
the reports that n project was afoot TO
secure unity of action among the cop
per producers in all parts OF the world
have been numerous and have been
gradually crystallizing into definite
form. Fol- many months copper prices
have been very low, and the
tension upon most Of the cop
per mining companies in the Lake
Superior region, Montana, Arizona and
New Mexico to keep things going has
been a severe one 1t has long been
urged by copper men that some com
bination to limit production should be
formed, but only within q very recent
time has the matter assumed shape.
The negotiations have been carried on
very secretly. The course of prices,
however, in the Boston market-the
chief and in fact the only copper
mining market in this c~ountry-has
shown that things are getting on
favorably. The price Of the stock of
the Calumet and Hecla. Quincy and
other big Lake Superior copper mines
has steadily improved.
A Boston dispatch says: 1.-THE
statement is made here on very good
authority that the proposed combina-
ton of copper mine properties, with
the exception of the Quincy company,
which declined to Join. has been prac-
tically effected. 1t is stated that the
annual production of the Anaconda
mine is fixed at 20, 900, 900 pounds, and

Smudge.
WASHINGTON, March 11.-This gov
eminent has determined upon the nan
ufacture of smokeless powder for use
in both small arms and heavy ord.
nance. and with this objectin view Cap
tain Pitman, IA well known ordnance
officer and expert chemist, has been
detailed by General Flagler, chief of
ordnance, United States army, TO take
charge of the laboratory at the Frank
ford arsenal. Captain Pitman, who
arrived at the new post of duty from
the frontier a few days ago, In speak
ing of the duty to which he has been
assigned, said:
The object is to secure a powder
which will give a high velocity with a
consequent low trajectory, without
straining the piece, and which will not
deteriorate through the lapse OF time
and climatic influences. TO do this we
must obtain a powder that will not
burn too rapidly, as the result of a too
rapid ignition is the expenditure of
the greater portion of the force of a
discharge upon the chamber of the
gun, causing it in many instances to
burst, while the force of the explosion
is very greatly exhausted before the
projectile leaves the bore of the
weapon. Consequently the desired OBJ
Ject-great velocity, low trajectory
and greater range-is defeated We
must also make a powder that will not
absorb moisture in appreciable guam.
Titles, and so deteriorate to such a de-
gree as to lose its strength"

SiDETRACkS INCORPORATED
A Scheme Which EvadA the Inter
state Commerce Law.

A scheme Which Eyad the Inter
state Commerce Law.
CHICAGO, March 12.-When a great
shipper sets out to get a cut freight
rate there seems to be many ways of
| accomplishing that object The Iili-
nois Steel company appears to have
found n of these ways, and it is a
method SO comprehensive that it cal
be made to apply to every n OF the
$50, 600 to 200. coo cars Of freight which
hat company receives and sends out
each year. This plan is not open to
the objections against the system Of
cash rebates which the big grain ship
pers take advantage OF, but which at
the same time opens a Jail
door for them II they can be
caught at It. While the method is
| quite as effective, so far as furnishing
means for annulling the provisions of
the interstate commerce law, the law
is in this case completely evaded with
out being actually violated.
The secretary of state some time ago
issued charters to the Calumet and
Blue Island Railway company, the Chi
cago and Southeastern Railway COM
pany, the Joliet and Blue Island Rail-
way company, the Milwaukee, BAY
View and Chicago Railroad company.
These titles read like the names OF real
railroads. AS q matter of fact, they
are q choice collection Of sidetracks at
the various plants of the Illinois Steel
company at South Chicago, Joliet, etc.
BY Incorporating their s~idetraclts
and creating all the machinery Of dis
tinct railway organizations a way was
opened whereby the law can be evaded
without actually violating its provi-
sions. The easiest way i'm which this
can be done is for the switching COM
panies to establish a switching tariff
which may be absorbed in the through
rate and the rate cut to that extent.
This has been done, and the various
lines publish n tnriff sheet showing
that a switching charge varying from
81. so to So n car has been made. That
alone would be an important item. rs
| the company's freight business has run
| up as high as 200, 900 cars a year, but
| the scheme is capable of making even
| greater profits than that. 1t seems
| 10 have been the original intention to
| have a division Of rates as II it were a
through shipment over two lines and
| thus get all the railroads to divide the
regular tariff, but the Central Traffic
association refused to allow such an
arrangement Any such arrangement
| is in violation Of the rulings Of that
ASSOCIATION, but 1t is understood that
one or two roads grant II. neverthc-
less, and that the division the terminal
line gets amounts to 40 cents a ton.
As the company received 200, 900 tons
Of raw material and shipped 79s, 600
tons OF finished product 1t Is evident
that II 40 cents q ton a be saved on
the freight of rel a small proportion
of that the saving might be an impor-
tant matter.
