but has observed that the Independents
have not been maintaining that price. but
have been underselling,, with guarantees,
while the umbrella act was going on.
The Amalgamated interests thereupon
themselves sold at a slight price conces-
sion 100000 pounds or more of copper on
guarantee. Then they dropped the price.
Of course the Independents are bowling
because the umbrella has been raised. for
they Will have to supply low copper on
their contract guarantees. The Anal
gamated interests, think, are better able
to stand the guarantee racket than the
independents generally. Now. the Anal
gamated can say, If you don't maintain
copper at fifteen and three-eighths cents,
the new price for lake, why, we will drop
it another peg, and you can, supply copper
at a still lower price on your guarantees"
The evidence of the way that the newer
group Of copper mining companies is hit
by the cut in the price Of the metal was
given to-day in the Broad-street curb
market, where there was a general de-
cline in low-priced copper shares. Dis
patches from Boston reported a general
weakness there also in copper mining
shares on top of the previous heavy de-
clines. The stock of the Calumet and
Hecla Mining Company. the leading lake
producer, sold as low as $610, closing at
$615.

This view was expressed In one Wall

''The independent copper producers, 1t
seems, do not understand how 1t is that
the cut has been made by the Anal
gamated interests when there appeared to
he such willingness on the part of these
interests to hold the umbrella 1t is, how
ever, very easy of explanation. The Anal

What If the Amalgamated company

EW 4ORhs dec. l4-AmalSa-
N mated Copper stock sold at the
new low record price of 641z cents
to-day, rallying at the close to
65K cents, which was still 1 point
under the closing price of Friday. The
fear that an open cut in the price Of cop
per to 151z cents a pound for electrolytic
copper and 1875 cents for lake is but the
opening gun in the trade war between the
Amalgamated and independent producers
Of copper and is largely responsible for the
further decline in the price Of the stock.
If a big trade war has really begun, it
was argued, there is no telling where the
price Of metal may go, and with such a
prospect 1t was even possible the quarter
ly dividend of the A1nalgamated 'compa-
ny, due next Thursday, might be passed
altogether.
Representatives Of the Amalgamated
company had nothing to say to-day. Rep
resentatives of the Independent producers
Of copper, on the other hand, talked rath-
er freely and appeared to be incensed at
the cut in prices announced by the United
Metals Selling Company. They intimated
they had been led to believe the Amalga-
mated company and its allied corporations
would not make any reduction in the
The San Francisco call., 1901-12-15

price, and they asserted that many of the
independents had held firmly to the
quoted price. Now they would be COM
PEELED to meet the cut of the Amalgamated
and were relieved of any further obliga-
ton to maintain prices.

Strikers Building a Town IN

Beyond a Few Arrests That
Amount To Little, The State
is Doing Nothing.


Madisonyille, KY Dec. &c. c.
Barnaby, vice president of the
Twenty-third District United Mine
Workers of America, was arrested
here Saturday on warrant charg-
ing him with conlederating and
banding together with others for
the unlawful intimidation of non
union miners. Barnaby 5 bond
was fixed at $500 and signed by
Representative r. b. Bradley and
County Clerk John B. Brasher
There are no new developments
about the union camp at Norton
vile. All has been quiet since the
re.establishment. No complaints
have been made by the neighbors
and passing public. The work on
the new town, Union City Of
which President Wood spoke in his
Central Cityls Thursday, has
not been commenced further than
the union boarding house, which is
about ready for occupation.
The boarding house is now COM
pleted and was occupied Saturday
night by about seventy-fve strikers.
What action Judge Hall and Gen.
Murray will take regarding the sit
uation is not positively known, but
it is the opinion that they will pro-
coed at once to forcibly disarm, not
only the union miners, but the
guards at the mines. The guards
brought in here from other places
will be sent lone. The union
miners living outside the county
will be forced to leave and none but
those known to be without homes
will be allowed to remain in Norton
vile. The state guards will then
take charge of all the mining pro-
perty and the union camps and no
man will be allowed to go armed.
Any man caught with arms about
him will be. arrested and imprson-
ed.

PRISONER CAPTURED.
Brought Back to Answer Two In
dictments For Shooting.

Ollie Brown, COL, who escaped
from here last February, was
arrested at Empire last Thursday
night by Deputy Sheriff C.J.Barnes,
assisted by mine guard George
Lander and returned to prison.
Brown is the negro, who had
bloodless duel with Tollgate Keeper
Lawson Smith, near Woods Mill,
one night in November, 1900, while
attempting to rob the house, it is
charged.
Some time after the alleged at
tempted robbery Brown was cap
tured and placed in jail. On the
night of Feb. 19 last, he escaped
from prison, having filed the locks
from the cell door. After gaining
access to the corridor he cried
Sire" and when Jailer Williamson
opened the outer door the negro
hred at him and ran. The othcer
gave chase and was again fired
upon. Both balls went wild of
their mark.
Viola Wheeler, a colored woman.
who had beeu living with Brown,
was permitted to visit him in jail a
few days before his escape and she
furnished him with files and a pis-
toll. Later the woman was arrest
ed, tried and convicted of aiding
him to escape. She is now in the
Eddyville prison
Brown was indicted last March,
both for attempting to kill Smith
and shooting at the jailer with in
tent to kill.
