Copper's Future
Bright.

William c. Berger OF Boston, who is
largely interested in the copper mines OF
Lake Superior and Utah, passed through
the city yesterday on his way to the
coast
"The copper situation is in fair way
to improve" he SAID. "In my judgment
17-eent copper was artiticially high, and
the subsequent reaction naturally car
ried the price back below normal. The
demand for the red metal is increasing
more rapidly than the production, and /
look to see the price settle within a few
months somewhere around 10 cents.
"a price around II to 10 cents will
help, rather than hurt, the Utah copper
mining interests. The Lake Superior
mines cannot produce copper so cheaply
as those which carry gold and silver.
The report of the Oscecola Mining COM
pany, made recently, gives an idea OF
where the ordinary Michigan copper
mine stands as to cost OF production.
The cost, II l remember correctly,
somewhere around u cents. A mine
like the Highland Boy, for example, that
carries gold and silver values, can pro-
duce copper for less than that. Conse-
quently the eastern investors are looking
toward the mines OF the west,
II am not familiar with the mines in
Beaver county, Utah, but If the repre-
ser tations l have heard in regard to
them are correct, they should be able to
work at profit, providing they have ore

Rebuilding the c.
P. r. r.

Several contracts for the reconstruc
ton of the Central Pacific between
Wadsworth and Ogden were let last
Wednesday, making a total of twelve
contracts up to date.
The latest contracts call for the build
ing of two hundred miles of railroad at
a total cost of S5,1s0O00.
Contracts for the reconstruction of a
hundred more miles # road will be let
later on, the object being to eliminate
every curve and cIt down every grade
possible and make the Central Pacific a
model road in every respect. Most of
the contractors are at work on various
sections of the road and there are now
over 10000 men and 1900 teams. Where
very heavy cuts are being made day and
night forces are at work as many of the
contractors have bad electric lights in
stalled. Steam shovels, locomotives and
automatic dump cars are also ueed to
expedite the work of grading and filing.
1t is said that by the middle Of next
May an army Of seven thousand graders
will be along the Central Pacific. The rail-
road people want 10 get the heaviest
part of the work in this State and Utah
finished. by the end of the year. The
cutoff across the north end of the
Great Salt Lake will require much
longer time.
Work on the first sixteen miles of the
cutoff west from Ogden has been COM
menced All the San Francisco papers
contain advertisements for men and
teams but the contractors at Clarks
Station seem to be having a hard time
in securing the number they want.
A number of men came up from that
place yesterday, and from what they say
it is no wonder laborers are 10th to ac-
cept work on the construction gangs.
They say that the best paid men get
but little over dollar day after their
expenses have been deducted by the
contractors.-G

thought or said OF It. II is different now.
Bids for supplies must be regularly adj
vertised for, and the contracts must be
made on the basis OF the bids. The law
provides that no official connected with
any business can make a contract with il
for supplies. the penalty for so doing being
severe. In all of the States institutions
the accounting has been extended under
the present administration so every pound
OF supplies purchased can be accounted for
at any time. The greater part of this
progress in business methods has been
made in few years so that from being a
State with a general iooseness in business
methods Indiana has become one of the
most exacting and businesslike. The change
began with the date that Republicans came
into control of the States business. and
the method has been improving ever since,
until il may be claimed TO be as good If
not the best Of any State in the Union.

inserted in the platform of 1896. In 1896 the
convention declared that "the Republican

find in it that the duty on sugar shall be

Oxnard and the other shareholders in the
combination which controls all the patents

be obtained. In 1890 Mr.. Oxnard figured
that the beet-sugar industry did not need
any protection whatever. Now he and his
followers are declaring that the present
duty must be retained to encourage the
expansion of the industry, and are assum-

law was as nicely adjusted as it is simply

WALLER TO BE TRIED.
The Major and His Marines Were
Serving Under General Chaffee.

WASHINGTON, March 7.-Acting Secre-
tary Darling, of the Navy Department, has
received a cable message from Rear Ad-
miral Rodgers, commanding the Asiatic
station, confirming press dispatches to the
effect that Major Waller and Lieutenant
Day, of the marine corps, have been or
dered before a court-martial to meet on
the 18th inst. This is the extent of the in
formation contained in Admiral Rodgers's
dispatch. Nothing is said with regard to
the composition of the court, the place Of
meeting, or the charges against the officers
named. From other sources, however, 1t
is understood that the court-martial pro-
ceedings were instituted by General Chat
fee because it is charged that the officers
named were unnecessarily severe and bru-
tai in their treatment of certain natives in
their memorable march across the island
of Samar. The expedition in question was
made under the direction Of General Chat
fee. and the marine battalion was tenn
porarily detached from service under the
naval commander for that purpose In
view of these circumstances it is assumed
that the two marine officers will be tried
by court composed in part or in whole
of officers of the army, although it is pos
sible more marine officers may be
members of II.

Wright says the province of Morong and
the entire province of Rial were never

MANY CONVERT STOCK.
Steel Corporation May Issue s250,O00,-
600 i'm Bonds.

NEW YORK, March Leading interests
in the United States Steel Corporation say
that reports of a proposed conversion Of
the preferred stock into bonds are prema-
ture. 1t is said the proposition has been
discussed by the financial committee and
has been taken up in a casual way by the
directors, but beyond this nothing has been
determined. According to reports ii is not
likely that it may be deemed advisable to
issue bonds to the extent of $3.50, 900, 900 with
out any disturbance of the present pre-
ferred stock issue. This can be done, ii is
pointed out, by charging the bonds TO ac-
count of one of the subsidiary companies
of the Steel Corporation. The purpose of
such a move has not been made clear. y
representative of the leading interests in
the Steel Corporation said to-day: 1T is
too early TO talk about these things. Mat
tiers have not taken definite shape and may
never do so. Besides final action rests
with the stockholders"
