AMERICAN COPPER.

Half the copper used in the world is
mined in the United States, and the
foreign demand for the article is great
ly on the increase. In 1896 the copper
produced in this country amounted to
45S, 722, 500 pounds, and this, added to
100000 pounds of copper mixed with
nickel, makes a total of 477,722, $50
pounds of copper mined in the United
States. Of this amount about 271 ,000,
600 pounds were exported and 206, 000,
900 pounds were consumed in America.
The American product of copper in
1894 was 100000 tons; in 1895 it was
10000 tons, and in 1896 it was in ex-
cess of 100000 tons, or ten times more
than the total American product of
copper 16 years ago, and nearly 40 per
cent. more than the total copper pro-
duct of the world 16 years ago. The
enormous increase in the demand for
copper is, in part, due to the increased
need of it for electrical appliances,
electric cars, trolley wires and cables.

He Retains His Factory and Is
still Opposed TO Hawaii.
WASHINGTON, April "a. - al
though Spreckels has sold an interest
in his factory at jacksonville to the
Sugar Trust, do not think the latter
will secure control of the beet-sugar
production on the Coast. The Chino
factory has not been sold, nor has even
an offer for any of it's stock been re-
ceived by myself or any of the stock
holders"
Henry T. Oxnard, president of the
Chino factory, so stated his position
today, after reading an interview with
Spreckels, printed this morning, tell
ing of the success of the secretary of
the trust, Searles, on the Coast. OK
nard continued: 1.-THE Chino factory,
owned by myself, my brothers and
Messrs. Cutting of New York, will con-
tinue to be run as an Independent re
finery. In addition, the Anaheim fac
tory, when finished, think will not be
sold. The AlyaTado concern, owned by
San Francisco people, is not for sale, L
understand. The only other beet-sugar

ed by us in Nebraska, small one in
Wisconsin, which started this year, and
one of small capacity in New Mexico.
Whether these latter could be bought
i do not know, but they would cut lit
tie figure in controlling the production
of the country, at any event"
Oxnard, who is opposing the Hawai-
ian reciprocity treaty, as a representa-
tive of the beet-sugaT producers of the
United States, is hopeful that the Sen
ate committee will act on this subject
in the pending tariff bill. He predicts
that there will be no more capital put
into the beet-sugar business in Cali
fornia unless this treaty, which he
thinks places in direct competition so
great quantity of free sugar pro-
duced at so slight a margin over the
beet sugar, and thus hinders the prog
ress of development, is abrogated.

A $1,000 WATCH.

while in Geneva some months ago,
said Colonel J. r. Reynolds, Il visited
the principal watch works there, and as
a matter of curiosity asked the mana
ger what was the highest priced watch
that was made in Geneva. He said
that the most expensive watch turned
out in Switzerland was worth $500.
This watch had a split second hand
and struck the hours if needed 1t
also had in it tiny music box, which
played three distinct tunes. This watch
he said, was the finest that could be
made, but that ornaments, diamonds,
etc., could be worked into the cases
which would run the price up into as
many thousands as the purchaser de-
sired. He said there had been one
watch made in his establishment the
cases of which had been studded with
and which had cost SIT, 900,
but as far as the watch itself was
concerned, it was 500 watch-"-

TOLEDO, Ohio, pril 26-Five local

siderable doubt is being expressed as
to the success of the effort of the new
Liberal Government to establish pref
erentiaI tariff duties with Great Brit
ain. The latter country now has most
favored nation" treaties with Ger
many, Belgium and other countries,
which expressly provide that in none of
the colonies of Great Britain shall the
products of those countries be subject
to higher import duties than the prod
ucts of the United Kingdom.
The action of the Dominion Govern

ties on the goods coming from Great
Britain has accordingly brought forth
a protest from these other countries

CHINESE IN BEET FIELDS.
Trouble Over AsiatIc Iaborers In
California.

Trouble Over AsiatIc Laborers In
California.
SANTA ANA, Cal, April 25.-The
little sugar beet town of Alamitos, in
this county, promises a genuine sensa-
ton if the so Chinese who have been
imported by the beet sugar company to
thin beets do not pack up bag and bag
gage and seek pastures new. During
the past week the beet company could
not secure help enough in the beet
fields, and consequently brought half
a hundred Chinese from Los Angeles
and set them to work. Today the
Mongolians were ordered to leave by
an organization of white laborers or
suffer the consequences.
Sheriff Nichols was sent for, but
when he arrived everything was quiet.
1t is believed, however, that unless the
Chinese leave there will be REPETITION
of the trouble at Chino some time ago.
The beet company people say they only
want their work done, and if white
men can be secured they will gladly
give them the preference, but if they
cannot be secured Chinese will be en-
ployed and protected in their work at
all hazards.

New Oceanic.

The Philadelphia Record says that
the cost and expected speed of the Gee
anic, the White Star liner, whose con-
struction has just begun in the Queens
Island Yard, have both been greatly
oyerrated. Her length will exceed that
of the Great Eastern seven feet mot %
as enormously stated; her gross ton
mage will exceed 1900 tons, she will
be propelled by three screws and the in
Dictated horsepower will be about 49,
600. or $4,000 for each set of engines
which cannot possibly give her q
speed of 81 knots, as stated, although
there is little doubt that this new
ocean greyhound will greatly surpass
all her predecessors in speed.
