To Make Wire Rope.

NEW YORK, April ga company with
S,O0e,0D capital was organized to-day under
the laws of New Jersey to acquire the
various Hallide patents for making wire
and wire rope and to manufacture the same.
The corporation will be known as the Hal
Tide Wire Rope, Tramway and Cable Com
pany of Chicago. The incorporators and
principal stockholders are A S. Hallide and
George Il. Gaden, of San Francisco, and a.
Warner, of Chicago. Mr.. Hallide WINS the
principal patents existing in the country,
twenty in number, for manufacturing wire
rope. This rope Is used among other things
for hauling cable cars, tramways and for
the transmission of power. Heretofore these
ropes have been made by a company in
California, but the freight rates are so high
that they have been found almost pro-
hibitory to the East; consequently a factory
Is to be erected In Chicago. The formation
of the Hallide company was said to-day by
one of the promoters to be in effect an ex-
tension Of the present metal combination.

CONCEALlNG THE CASES
TWO SMALLPOX PATIENTS DISCOVER
ED BY HEALTH BOARD YESTERDAY.
Both Were COIOred Men-One Found
in a Barn in Morton
Place.

Early yesterday morning a colored man
giving his name as Charles Cantrell made
his appearance at the Desthouse and told
DIR. Trueblood that he thought he had
smallpox and would like to be admitted as
a patient. DIR. Wagner was called. and
after a careful examination said that un-
dOubtedly the man was suffering from the
disease. Cantrell said that he and his fam
lily had been concealing the case from the
city authorities during the last week and
that his folks didn't know he had given
himself UP.
When DIR. Clark, of the Health Board,
went TO the Cantrell house, on the ccrEer
of Fourteenth and Lafayette streets. to ar
range for a quarantine he was greeted In
the doorway by the patients mother, an

Sick? Charlie No. youse mistaken.
Well, that's curious. Charlie came out
to the pesthOuse and said he had the small
pox; He's out there now; AND I've come
This was too much for Mrs. Cantrell. Her
breath deserted her for a moment or two.
imsiif Wh 6ers it hR WitS the lesu o 3 snf by " SAVING
that she could "a sworn that Charlie went
a-fishin', but of course everybody's liable TO
be mistaken once in a while"
DR.. Clark set on foot a further investi5a-
ton when it was found Cantrel had the
smallpox. He went TO ind the patients
brother, whom he suspected OF having Wis
TIED the sick man. The b. other is employed
as a coachman in Morton place. The doctor
found he had not visited his brother, but
on closer questioning the man. he ascer-
tanned that the coachman was caring for a
sick friend in the barn where he was en-
ployed. The barn is between Delaware and
Alabama streets, north of Twenty-tirst. Or.
Clark examined this sick friend and found
him to be Sam Martin, twenty-seven years
old, and suffering from a well-marked case
of smallpox. He was promptly sent TO the
pesthouse and the barn fumigated. Martin
had been a visitor at the Cantrell house
and it is supposed he contracted the dis
ease there. The Board Of Health is having
trouble in its search for cases by the evas-
i've and untruthful replies given by negro
families.

COPPER MINE COMBINE"
STANDARD OIL COMPANY ENGINEER
ING THE BIG SCHEME.
VIII Have a Paper Capitalize tion of
500. 900, OO0-Conccrn That Pro
poses to Make Wire Rope.

NEW YORK, April 25.-The absolute
statement was made to-day by one Of the
most important interests in the copper trade
that H.. H.. Rogers, OF the Standard oil
Company. acting for a syndicate. has OBJ
tanned control Of many Of the heaviest pro-
ducing copper mine properties in the United
States, including principally Montana mines
and those in the Lake Superior region.
Among them are the Anaconda. Isle Royale
and Copper King. The deal. however. is yet
in an incomplete shape, and on that ac-
count those most interested are averse 10
giving out any details. All the arrangements
for carrying through have been placed. ac-
cording to his authority. in the hands Of
Mr.. Rogers.
The Evening Post says: THE information
al deal in copper properties, which is now
attracting the attention OF speculative in
terests, came TO public notice about two
weeks ago, when the announcement was
made that II. III. Rogers. of the Standard
Oil Company, had obtained an option on
the majority of the stock of the Anaconda
mine. This stock for years was owned abso-
lutely by j. b. Haggin. Marcus DAILY and
the late Senator Hearst. Some time ago
these interests were believed to have sold
80 per cent. of their holdings to the Roth
schids at about $50 per share. An attempt
was made by the foreign bankers to bug
the rest of the stock. but their offers were
| refused. Recently reports were current that
the holdings of Marcus Daily had been sold
and following these reports came the or
ganization of a syndicate to form what has
been Familiarity called the copper combine
The combine, according to current Wall
street stories. was TO form a new company
with a paper capitalization of $iV, 10000
the stock Of which was to be exchanged for
that of other copper properties. The state
ment was made yesterday that Anaconda
stock would he taken III at a value OF S2
per share. This was somewhat perplexing.
in view of the fact that the stock sells now
at SO, but the discrepancy was explained
to-day by the statement that for each nine
ty-two shares of Anaconda there will be
given one hundred shares of the new com
bination stock. In this city, Ladenburg:
Thalman az Co, have apparently had
charge OF the financial arrangements and
have been supposed TO represent foreign In
terests in the matter. The Rothschilds, who
owned, by their first purchase, ~ per cent.
Of Anaconda stock, are said TO have a one
half interest in an underwriting syndicate,
the other half. according to current report,
being divided between j. L. Morgan and
the Standard Oil interests
