PRICES OF COPPER
Improvement in the Market En-
courages Lake Men.
MERGER STORIES ARE DISCOUNTED
Neitherrthe RothschiId Nor Calumet
8 Hecln Company at All
Likely to Go In.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal
Hougktcn, Mich, May 23.-The recent
Improvement in the market price OF lake
copper is giving encouragement to Ger
tain local mines that have been hard hit
by The drop to II cents. Eight years ago
all of the active lake mines We're making
a little money with copper selling at 8
cents but the advanced wages and higher
costs in every department Of production
have increased the cost Of making copper
by two to three cents pound, and IN
consequence II cents pound is rather
more disastrous to the lake mines thah
was cents in 1894 AS the cost Of pro-
duction has increased on a corresponding
scale in the western fields, it is not likely
the world will be able to buy it's copper
for an average price under Ii to IA cents,
for any great length OF time. Just now
long copper will linger under Ii cents de-
ponds upon how long it takes the con-
suners to assimilate the over production
OF the past two years.
Eastern newspaper stories that the
Amalgamated, Rothschild, Calumet &
Hecla anu Heinze interests have got to-
gether" are entitled to no more credence
than the rumors Of similar purport that
have been set afoat every two or three
months for two years. The Rothschilds
control almost as large a production as
the Amalgamated, and while they are not
averse to seeing higher price for copper.
they are not likely to be used as catspaWs
for the Amalgamated. The Calumet u
Hecla people are unalterably opposed to
combinations Of every kind.
The copper district of Michigan is over
run with unemployed workingmen. Times
have been very good in the lake district
for several years past, and an immense
amount of work has been done. Wages
have been high, ruling at 81 a day TOT
common labor with mechanics drawing
pay accordingly. This has made the cop
per country a mecca for laboring men
and there are more Of them in the district
than can find employment
The possibility of a strike Of coal
miners in the bituminous fields is worry
Ing the mine managers. 1t now takes one
million tons OF coal a year TO run the cop
per mines Of the lake district, and this
coal must be secured during the season OF
navigation.
The Calumet & Hecla. under the man
agement Of James McNaughton, is turn
ing out the largest production OF refined
copper in its history. and Is doing it with
q much smaller force of men than was
employed two years ago.
The Trimountain will start new smart
No. 4-next week. Excavations for the
new stampmil1 of the Phoenix are COM
pleted. Surveys preliminary to the de-
velopment Of the water power at Glenn
Falls are being made.
