The Unit of Copper

As to what constitutes the unit of copper. the Denver Post prints the fol- lowing; The "unit" of weight is 20 pounds, avoirdupois. lt Is one per cent of copper in the ore; and one per cent of ton Is 20 pounds. Each per cent of copper contained ill ore IS equal to as many units of copper. Ore carrying 50 per cent of copper, or 50 units; for example, copper is quoted at S4 per hundred pounds, is worth so cents per unit. and 90 times 80 equals $40 a ton.
 For each decline or rise of cents in the quotation deduction or addition of l per cent should be made If the quotation is S3 95 then l per cent from the price (S0 cents) should be taken. and so on down to whatever the quota ton may be. For example, if the ore is quoted at S3.75, , cents from 80 leaves 75 cents per unit and ore carry ing 50 per cent ofcopper would amount to 30 times 75 equaling in value S37.50 per ton.

The Copper Bell Group.

A correspondent of the Los Angeles Mining Review has the following to say of the Copper Bell mines situated on the San Carlos strip, and are owned by B. Jones, superintendent of the G. ", G. & \. railroad, and !. N. Porter of Geronimo, Ariz.; The Copper Bell group Is one of the largest and best properties that is now being developed. A shelter will find ore in such quantl- ties as to supply it for years to come. The ore on the Copper Bell group is of good paying quality and in great quan- titles, and is now attracting the atten tion of mining men throughout the country Wood and water are on the property, and fine location for d shelter is now being laid out. These mines are only fifteen miles from San Carlos, with good wagon road to within three miles of the property. A survey lol V idliA ofu itH btth it- ported on by well-known engineer.

Arizona's Copper and Gold.

The future will discover to the world that Arizona sis much richer ins gold than scores of regions oyer which the gold hunters have gone daft. It IS only within the past few months thnt the mining world has come to realize that Arizona is the natural home of copper, and that 1t is being demonstrated that we have more of the red metal than any other region of the earth, What Arizona needs, to discover to the world the vastness of her mineral wealth, IS careful prospecting by painstaking prospectors, This is now being done but only in n measure, There IS not u single mountain or mineral district within the confines of the territory which can be said has been prospected with that care which is known to old mining regions. If ten per cent of the money used in going to, and prospect ing for gold in Alaska was expended intelligently in Arlzona, the results m gold product would be equal to, or greater than is now reported from Alaska. These are not congregations but cold facts which the very near fu- ture is going to demonstrate. Arizo- mass gold like Arizona's copper is go- ing to make stir in the money cen tres of the country, for we have the stuff in our mountains, and all that is required to bring it forth is careful prospecting and we'll directed capital

Rig Advance in wag es.

At Detroit, Mich, few days ago,
the manufacturers accepted the scale oil
the Amalgamated Association OF Iron,
Steel and Tin Workers, which means
a general advance Of rs per, cent for
some $4,000 men employed in the iron
and steel industries. The advances are
the largest made in the history OF the
association, and the wages for the year
will be the highest since 1892. although
they will not reach the figures paid be-
fore that year.
This is the kind Of an advance that
counts. 1t comes at time, too, when
this country Is competing as never be-
fore with foreign producers for foreign
markets. 1t tells the same old story,
that high wages, short hours and up
to-date machinery are the greatest fac
tors in economical production. At the
present time foreign iron manufactur-
ers are telling their employees that
something must give" that there
must be new economies, unless Amer
lean industry is to drive them of their
old fields. But the American producer
is not disturbed. He calmly advances
wages, gets the best equipped plant the
world affords, and proceeds to sell his
goods at profit at prices the foreigner
can't touch.

YEARLY CROPS.
Gathered by Gold Diggers In Some Mn
Ing Districts.


Ing Districts.
There are several localities where
gold may be said to grow every year.
or, IN other words, where fresh depos-
Its OF the precious metal are to be
found annually. One such district is in
the Edmonton country, in the Cana
dian Northwest. where, after the spring
moods, from the same banks and
benches" Of the Saskatchewan river
there are taken every year consider
able quantities of gold by few dig
gers, who make their living out of the
business. But the most conspicuous
an6 interesting case Of this sort is to
DO seen near Ichang, In the province
OF Hupeh, in China. For many CEN
turtles past each year gold has been
washed from the banks of coarse
gravel on both sides of the River Han,'
and In the midst of the auriferous dis
trict there is an.ancient. town called
'Li-kiu-tien, which means Gold Dig
gers Inn" Its Inhabitants subdivids
the gold-bearing ground among them
selves annually. stalking out their
claims with partitions. They. pay no
royalty. and appear to earn no more
than q bare subsistence; but this may
DO doubted. as John Chinsman is an
adept at "layin' low and sayin' nuffin'."
The annual river floods bring down
millions Of tons Of mud and sand from
the mountains, and this mud and
sand, which is charged with gold, botn
line" and in flakes, is deposited to a
depth Of six inches or more on the
banks of-gravel. 1t is in the winter
that the gold is washed, and it is said
that seven men work about 20 tons Of
the pay dirt" in day.

STRONGER BUILDINGS FOR TOR
NADOES.

Safe Constenction of Buildings Neoes.
sary to Prevent Lose of Life.
Thirteen years ago occurred the vio-
lent to -nado which demolished the
Lathrop school, the old Second street
court house and many other buildings.
and partially wrecked hundreds of
houses in Kansas City.
At that time considerable agitation
was had concerning the proper con-
struction of buildings, and out of this
grew many better building regulations
and the passage of city ordinances for
enforcing same, resulting in a better
and more carefully and substantially
built class of houses and use of mater
ials. At that time it was claimed by
many in a position to know, includ-
ing even the then city superintendent
Of buildings, that the terrible de-
struction Of property was caused, not
by the severity of the storm so much
as by the loose way of construction,
making it impossible for many build
ings to withstand even an ordinary
heavy wind blow.
1t is mistake for people to use
only lime mortar when good hydraulic

same price per bushel. 1t is an erron-
Gus idea that cement is too expensive"
as it is generally claimed. Kansas
has two large hydraulic cement
works, manufacturing n high grade of
hydraulic cement that when used
makes the salty of buildings far more
secure, and owing to the low freight
rates, it can be sold as cheaply per
bushel in this territory as the best
grades of white lime.
Any person who saw the many
chimneys as we'll as the brick build
ings which were leveled to the ground
during the storm which swept over
Kansas City in 1888" must have OBJ
served this fact; That the brick and
mortar were entirely separated; i. e.,
that the lime and sand mortar in
which the brick were laid did not ad-
here to the brick Had these hundreds
of chimneys been laid in cement NOR
tar they would not have blown over,
as the cement. would have become
harder than the brick and adhered to
them so tightly, that it would have
been necessary to have broken each
brick in two before they could have
separated or blown over, and a wind
sufficiently strong to have broken the
brick in two, would have leveled the
house to the ground.

Labor News and Notes.

The tool-making industry has beei
invaded by women. A hardware spe-
cialty factory at Reading, Pa, recently
discharged its male operatives and en-
gagged girls in their places. The girls,
1t is said, give satisfaction, besides
their labor is much chapear.
Michigan coal miners and operators
have adopted scale to be in effect
for one year. An eight-hour day Is es-
tablished, and the wage is based on 10
cents per ton for mining coal 80 inches
and upward; for 81 inches and less than
80 inches, rs cents, and for "a inches
and less than 81 inches, 80 cents.
The japanese have decided to as
sumo government control of the cam
phor industry, thus heading off all at
tempts of a gigantic trust engineered
by private capital. This is particular
ly interesting when it is remembered
that the whole crude camphor supply
Of the world comes from the Japanese
empire.
What is probably the largest COM
mercial enterprise organized and own
ed by American negroes has been es-
tablished by prominent colored men of
Mississippi. They have obtained a
charter, incorporating the Mississippi
Cotton Manufacturing company, with
capital stock of 100000. A site for
the company's mill has been chosen in
Jackson, and the work of erecting 1t

State Socialism with a Vengeance,

Talk about socialism. Here's a rad
ical sample of it, one from a most con-
servative course-the treasury depart
ment of the United States. Before tie
industrial commission, few days ago,
Mr.. L. N. Punitsky Of the customs di-
vision of the treasury department, tes-
titled as to "how trusts might be con-
trolled." He read draft of bill en-
towering the president to reduce the
duty on articles produced by a trust
whenever he thought the trust was
charging exorbitant prices. The pres
ident was to act when the trust raised
the price of its product and lowered
the wages of its employees. Senator
Mantle asked If the president should
not have this power when either con-
tingency came. The bill was changed
to meet Senator Nantes views, and he
said he would introduce it in the sem
ate. The proposition is to ignore
flaws" of supply and demand" and
all the other laws" concerning pro-
duction and trade, which not so long
d6O we WCiC eoiu IL was dudTCulSLlC "
even question, and to make of the pres
ident of the United States sort of
umpire who shall say what wage a
manufacturer shall pay and at what
price he shall sell his product, and en-
force his decision by swapping the
resisting manufacturer with low-priced
foreign competition. l don't take any
stock in such proposition, and don't
imagine we will ever have such a law
on our statute books. But it is a
thing worth noting that a treasury
official submits bill, and that SEN
tor promises to father it, which is
aAout the widest kind of what may be
called "autocratic state socialism," for
want of better term While don't
think that any such proposition as the
above is feasible or imagine that any

one believes II could ever become effec,
tive law, there is a Significance attach
ing to the fact that the proposition
has been brought forward as 1t has
been. And that is, that time-honored
fallacies as to the sanctity Of rules
called laws of supply and demand"
flaws of competition" etc., are explod-
ed, and that men realize that new con-
ditions must beget new methods, in tht
getting of which we may learn OF the
past, but must not slavishly adhere to
its forms.
No doubt the trust has come to stay
and no doubt the trust will be regu-
lated. But it's not likely that the pres
ident will be the regulator.
