THE LAWS HEAVY HAND.

The order of the United States De-
Pc rtment of Justice to District Attor-
ney Baird to begin proceedings against
al. conspiracies in restraint of trade is
the second definite result of the Adver-
Users crusade against the plumbing
trust. The first was the announcements
by the members of the trust that they
would henceforth sell their wares to all
cCmers at an even price. If that deci-
sion was honestly reached and is being
, sincerely carried out, this journal
would feel at liberty to express the
hope that the United States District
Attorney would tread lightly in his
path of duty. giving the offenders "a
chance to yield the fruits of repentance
But a story lately brought to us by a
contractor raises a presumption OF
chicane which we should like to nave
disposed of first.
This contractor says that he went to
a leading supply house and asked 1T to
fill an order for plumbing goods which
he himself proposed to install.
I'VE do not want to sell to you," said
the dealer. but will do so if you de-
mand it. the law giving us no alterna-
tive"
"WeH, l must demand it then" said
the customer.
"All right, Here is our list price.
Take your pick"
This was the little joker-the list
price. The contractor knew that mem
bers of the plumbing trust were get
ting about 50 per cent off from list
prices. He could not pay the latter
without making his building cost more
than he had agreed to build it for. His
remark to the Advertiser was: You
say the trust is pulveriZed! From my
point of view it is I'm as good working
order as ever it was
If this story represents the actual
spirit and practice of the Honolulu
plumbers then they have no right 10
expect mercy either from the District
Attorney or the press To stand up
fairly and say: 1--WE did not know we
We're breaking the law and having
found it out we propose hereafter TO

But the policy of evading the law in

eral Court.
1t is understood that the United
States District Attorney has discovered
other conspracies in restraint of trade
than that one so successfully attacked
by the Advertiser. If so we wish him
a legal triumph in his dealings with
them. What they are is not clear, for
II has not seemed to us that any of
the ordinary combines named in the
recent past as proper objects of at
tack. have violated any law which the
Supreme Court regards as constitutions
al. However. Mr.. Baird's Judgment
upon these matters is not disputed:
and if he succeeds in bringing other

withhold from him any credit he may
deserve at the hands Of the peoples

OF them can be reached by the law as

Its Copper Brought Much Less Per

Osceola's Report Makes a Similar
observation-disclosures of Develops

In a recent issue of the New York Trib-
une was the following article:
p. A. Farrell, of Spokane. who is fa-
miliar with the copper situation in this
country, in speaking of the records of
certain OF the great mines for the last
year. said yesterday at the Waldorf-As-
toria:
Il have before me the reports for 1899
OF the Tamarack. Quincy. osceola and
Atlantic mining companies. An analysis
OF these reports shows some extraordinary
results. The Atlantic mined some $4,000
tons of rock, obtained 6,147.555 pounds Of
mineral and 4,675, $50 pounds of refined cop
per. This was sold at II 15-l00 cents
pound and realized 500. sO451 Thus, work
ing on low grade rock, carrying twelve
pounds of copper to the ton. the Atlantic
shows net earning of $22s,77. This is
eminently satisfactory. as is also the
saving OF rs per cent. of the copper in
the mineral.
The quincy stamped 55e, 1S1 tons OF rock.
produced 17.SS6.640 pounds of mineral, or
14,3M.1s2 pounds of refined copper. This
was twenty-five pounds OF copper to the
ton. The copper sold for II IL cents.
pound, and the refined copper was about
rs per cent. of the mineral. Considering
that $404,4sl was spent on construction.
the cost of production was not excessive,
and I feel inclined to call the general
results very satisfactory.
The Osceola stamped 546,326 tons of
rock and obtained IA, $50 pounds Of min
eral. This represents II, 061.572 pounds of
refined copper Had this copper fetched
the average market price obtained for
Atlantic and Quincy copper, or even II
cents pound, the Osceola would have
realized $l,SS3S67 from its sales of cop
per. But the income from all sources,
including copper sales. Is only N,791,4n.
Evidently the Osceola people ret eived
100000 less for their copper than the At
lantic and Quincy companies could have
sold it for. Perhaps the directors could
explain why.
"The Tamarack stamped 631. geo tons OF
rock, which yielded 3l.7l3.752 pounds OF
mineral This must have yielded at least
rs per cent. OF refined copper. or q, 1885, 1854
pounds At II cents a pound this copper
would have sold for $4.043.5l1. But the re-
ceipts from all sources only amount to
s2952,09S
There Is nothing In the report to ex-
plain why. when copper averaged over II
cents pound for 1899, the Tamarack
Mining Company should have received
over 81 100000 less for It's copper product
than 1t was selling for In the open mar
ket. Here Is over S1.o0o,0oo difference be-
tween the actual value of the copper Out
put of the Tamarack and the actual mon
ey received therefor. Where did that
