IN INTERNATIONAL TRUST.
GREAT MONOPOLY ON COPPER.
1t Has Complete Control Of -Four Hum
dred Millions-Scheme Completed by
Rothchilds and Sta dard Oil Comfy
VIII Dictate Prices-Other Trusts.

Chicago, April 24.-Defnite information
reached Chicago that the contracts had
been signed in London on Friday which
formally transferred to single organiza-
ton practically all of the large producing
copper mines in the United States. The
details were meager, and came through the
brokers who had handled minor parts OF
the deal in this city. 1t is understood
that the mines under contract produced
about 425,000,000 pounds fine OF the toral
output of 5S3,OOO,OOO pounds fine that
were mined in this country last year.
These mines, it is claimed, will produce
fully 475,OOO,OOO pounds fine of the out
put of 600,000,000 pounds fine estimated
for 1899.
According to estimates made directly
after the negotiation for the big produc-
ers became public property the actual
value of the mining properties taken over
will exceed $400,O00,000. The particu-
lars, however, will probably be made pub
lie during the coming week, and the
formal life OF the company will date from
May l.
Internat ional Trust.
In effect, the organization is an in
ternational trust in copper. The organic
alton will protect the price both in Eu-
rope and America, and give to the COM
pany power to distribute the output intel
ligently and economically to the markets
where it is most in demand. 1t was the
latter consideration which brought into
the combination some of the interests that
were previously antagonistic. The Roths-
childs furnished the funds and made the
stiprlations for the European interests in
volved, while the Standard Oil Company
was credited with acting in the same Ca
pacity for the American side. The Roths-
child interest had its main leverage in its
holdings on the Isle Royal in Lake Super
ior, known as the Wendigo Copper Com
pany, the stock of which concern is not
listed on any American exchange, and the
Island Royal Land Company, limited
Among the other properties named yes
terday's private cables were the Clark
Bigelow and the Marcus DAILY interests in
Montana, the Arcadian and Centennial in
the Lake Superior region, and the Old Do
minion, in Arizona, but it is known that
several other properties not named are
included.

Cleveland, Ohio, April 24.-The safe and
