IN THE FINANCIAL WOELD.

In the first week Of January, 1902,
the steel and copper stocks showed great
weakness. and caused the whole market
to break sympatheticalIy. -~a trade con-
ditiOns which then existed at home and
abroad. have since disappeared, and ap-
paTentIy neither the trade nor the stocks
were ever stronger. In fact, never before
in the history of the steel industry in
this country, has it been so strong The
balance of accumulated business now on
hand will keep all of the plants in the
country occupied for the entire year,
and daily orders received are greater
than the daily output. AS a further proof
of the prosperity of this Industry the
United States Steel Corporation has an
nouuced a scheme by which it will give
its employees the option to become stock
holders in the concern by distribution
Of It's earnings in proportion to the
wages earned. Should the employees ac-
cept this proposition and thereby estab-
fish cooperation on their part, the effect
viii be to eliminate questions of strikes
and labor troubles which are the great
curses to the prosperity Of any indus ry.

WORKERS IN AMERICA
Rev. w. NJ Beauchamp Archaeoogist Tells of
Finds of Copper and Silver.

An Interesting visitor at the National
Museum last week was the Rev W. NJ.
Beauchamp. one Of the greatest authori-
ties on Indian archaeology. historic and
prehistoric, in New York state. Mr.
Beauchamp has made "a special study Of
the Iroquois, particularly their metal
work. and has published several books
on the subject which are accepted au-
thorirtes.
According to Mr. Beauchamp. the lro-
quois were not acquainted with the use
of metal until the arrival among them
Of Jesuit missionaries. The Jesuits early
taught tho indians the principle of work
ing copper into ornaments and utensils,
and found them apt pupils. The earliest
copper articles made by the Iroquois ap-
pear 10 have been fashioned from metal
obtained by breaking up copper kettles.
Later sheet copper was introduced and
he manufacturing grew in importance.
The Iroquojs also learned to work sill
yer, and the desire for silver ornaments
became a craze with the tribe Wealthy
Indians went around with q couple Of
hundred dollars worth Of silver orua-
ments on them and acquired more when
ever the opportunity presented itself
Great skill was displayed by the native
craftsmen in working silver They had
complete outfits for the purpose and de-
veIaped beautiful figures.
There are now living old Indians who
followed the trade, but they are doing
little or no work. When the precious
metals rose to a high premium as a
result Of the civil war, the Iroquois
couIG not resist the temptation 10 sell.
