GREAT COPPER COMBINE
Biggest the World Has Known Is in
 Process Of Formation.

Boston, May %. (Special).-Negoti- ations are under way here for the or ganization of the most gigantic copper combine the world has ever seen. All the details have not been worked out, but reliable inside information is to tbe effect that there is a good prospect for the success of the project.
 It is proposed to include in the com bination all the properties owned by the Amalgamated Copper company (the copper trusD, the leading independent properties of the lakes and the north west, the United Verde and one other Arizona property, and the Greene Con- solidated company.
 The capitalization will be enormous, but it is not thought that the cash re- quirements will be as heavy as the stupendous nature of the deal indicates. A new corporation will be formed, and will exchange it's stock and bonds for the properties mentioned. All stock holders of the several constituent com panies will have the privilege of taking cash for their holdings however, and it is claimed that the Standard Oil in- terests will provide the greater part of the cash that will be necessary to finance the undertaking.
