was a gain of zoo men, or virtually 3

While a few Of the older mines are
employing less men than IN the heyday
of their prosperity, the fact Is there are
more men working In the copper prop
critics OF Lake Superior today than ever
before, The gains at the new mines
more than onset the decreased working
forces at the older properties, In adj
diuon to the 1881 men employed In
Houghton county, the scene Of the

that the force of this district has dou-

UTAH MANS SUCCESS.

one Of the notable successes achieved
by Utah men at the worlds fair was the
securing Of the gold medal for the best
assayer's balance by Mr., G, 2. Keller
OF this city whose shop is In the
Board Of Trade building, In COMPETE
ton with American and European
mechanics Mr. Keller has succeeded in
producing am article which is UNI
equaled In the world,
The Keller balance is so finely adj
Msted that single ounce can be d.
vlded into 100000 parts and each part
can be accurately weighed. So sensi-
tive are they that heat or moisture
VIII effect them. II Is stated that II a
person should touch with his finger one
Of the little plates suspended IN the
balance that the moisture left by the
contact can be weighed.
Their extreme sensitiveness compels
that they be Kept In glass case care
fully preserved from dust and heat, and
the article TO be weighed must be
placed upon them with tweezers and
the doors carefully closed. SO neces-
sary Is Il that they be carefully en-
closed that MIR, Keller has been able
70 find but one mechanic IN Utah who
can manufacture cases to suit these
scales.
They are indeed a work Of art and
were admired by people from all sec
tons Of the world They are valued at
from 800 10 $500 a piece, and since the
worlds fair award was made, the Salt
Lake Hardware Co, who are the sole
agents for these scales, have been re-
ceiylng daily dozens Of Inquiries from
all parts OF the world IN relation TO
them. SO thoroughly accurate and re-
liable are these scales that they are
used 10 test other appliances Of q SIM
liar kind not 10 accurate.
The good news Of this award was re-
cGlyed IN the following telegram TO the

BUSINESS NOTES.

The week In local stocks has been the
livellest-in fact the most exciting,
witnessed since the days Of two years
ago, when the last big movement In
sugar was recorded The visit of Mr.
Hayemeyer seems to have been made
the occasion Tor all sorts Of speculation
and anticipation on the part Of brok-
ers and the investing public, for all the
stocks In which the eastern magnate
IS interested have shot up suddenly
since his departure, The main inter-
est has been centered on Idaho and Ere
mont, which have been moving slug
gisbly for some months past, Fremont
being often quoted below par, The de-
mand for both has been such, that this
morning Idaho stands at sll.lO and
Fremont at $40 90 with very few sellers.
The buying movement has extended TO
Utah common, which sold at 1925.
Broker Ashton reports handling over
5000 shares Of this stock during the
past few weeks, and he says the de-
mand Is still strong at prices over
$500 Amalgamated sugar jumped to
$4,000 and is very scarce at that
The extra capital called for by the
Fremont company, amounting 10 $780,
OOO, has all been subscribed, and many
applications had to be declined. The
first payment OF 30 per cent, amounting
