PLAN OF cAPIToL BUILDING

y ~ t 81
The members of the legislature are
all in. favor of beginning movement
for a new capitol, but difference OF
opinion has developed as to how much
of an. expenditure should be planned
for. The state lands devoted to the
building of q new cppitol are worth a
minimum Of $4,000 and there is a
growing feeling that these lands ought
to be made to entirely build and eq, ip
the new capitol. The present plan
contemplates building the structure
after such plan that it can be added to
as the needs of the state require, and
the symmetry Of the building be pre-,
served. Argus Leader.

To Correct an OVERSIGHT

Two years ago the legislature
changed the date of.=town elections
from May to March, but neglected to
Ak another section which provided
that the term of town Officers should
terminate in May. Consequently the
officers elected in March found them
selves out of office two months later.

formerly elected. shall be appointed

Thou sands of men who opposed a strike would not have been compelled to follow the lead of men whose salaries were increased during the strike pc riod. while the workmen were reduced to poverty. And thousands of men would not have been compelled to strike, because the minority of the employed in another line of business could not force the majority to join their union.
 Instead, the arbitration commission would have decided the case-it would have been decided as between the mill men and the mill owners-the miners, who have no interest in the matter, would never have heard of 1t -Ores and Metals.

THE scuLLIn RESPIRATION PLAN

The proposition of P. H. Scullin. secretary of the National Industrial Peace Association. to avoid strikes and lockouts, strikes us as being an excellent one.
 His plan is one of voluntary arbi- tration- He points out that arbitra- ton is difficult when both sides have been aroused to contest that en- bitters the feelings and establishes Q feeling of resentment often of re venge. His idea is to prepare for the difficulties Of the future during the peace of the present moment To ac- coraplish this. he would appoint an arbitration commission whose position would be permanent at time when both sides are st peace. It would be agreed that any dispute that might arise would be- settled, not by resort to 8 strike and It's attendant yiolences, sn which the offender suffers and the workmen themselves lose their wages while the leaders wax fat, but by ar bitration- Each side would appoint a member of the commission, and the
Bisbee daily review., 1905-04-23

These three would constitute a board two thus chosen would appoint third
 of arbitration for the settlement of any differences, and the decision of the board would be final. Thls re moves the hot heads and leaders who thrive on strikes and whose leader ship results in loss of wages, violence and mob law Appointed at time when both sides are actuated by the best of methods and are in the most conciiiatory mood. there is no doubt but that the result would be the best. Each would select the best men men of the greatest influence, who command the greatest respect. who are noted for their wisdom. their com mon sense and not their volubility.
 Such a board would, settle amicably nearly every difficulty that might arise. and prevent strikes, with the result that the workman would find steady employment at better rate of wages-his interest would be guard ed by board, the members of which are striving constantly to keep both sides employed. by making conces. sions here and gaining step there

ago. while the company had only a lease and option on the property.
 There is a great vein in the Emma, but so far as developed it carries only zinc and silver. and too much zinc to make it profitable mining for silver. as the local smeiters cannot treat zinc ores. It is believed that with great CT depth. the shaft now being down 300 feet. the Emma will develop into a copper property. as several of the copper veins to the north dip under the Emma claim.
 IL comes from official Amaigamated sources that the Butte & Boston smelt- CT in this city is to be closed down. This will throw 2S0 men out of em- ployment. and it means that revenue of nearly 5000 per day or s2S.1 per month will be stricken from the pay rolls of the camp. While the number of men employed at the shelter at the present time is 2S0 it has employed over 300 men at times.
 The Butte Boston smelter has been handling the ore of the Silver Bow

but always without recourse to the strike.
 The strike at best is barbarous. and is seldom conducted without out lawry of some sort or other.
 The firms to the agreement would, of course, appoint a business man. and the labor unions. on the other hand. would select a business man from among their ranks-to select any other person would be wrong, since the only way to settle disputes def. nitely is to do it on a business basis. contract made must be lived up to- it should be as sacredly observed by the labor union as it is vigorously en- forced by them when their interests are at stake If they make bad bar gain they must stand by tiff the em. ployer gets the worst of the bargain he completes his contract without a murmur.
 But this plan of Mr. Scullin's. 1t strikes us, is an excellent one and should meet with favor.

 The most serious effects of the smelter's closing will be felt in Mead erville and East Butte. where many smelternen own their homes and where merchants will feel most se- riously the result of the snutoown.

''The present force is about 2S0 and will cease operations gradual iy. It will take three or four months to clean up. As far as we are con cerned, 1 do not think the plant will ever be worked again.

Butte, Montana. April 22.-It is a certainty that the new mining com pany organized by Duluth. Boston and New York capitalists under the name of the North Butte Mining Company will take over the entire holdings of the Speculator mining company of Butte. The negotiations fer the trans fer of the Speculator stock to the new corporation have, in fact, been com pleted and it is safe to announce that the deal will be fully consumated.
 The North Butte company has cap ital stock of sG,000.000. divided into 400, ,0O0 shares at the par value or s15 a share. . T. F. Cole of Duluth, the well-known mining man and capital ist is at the head of the new com pany, which will be one of the most important and one of the, largest oper- ating mining corporations in Montana, probably second only to the Anal samated company.

It will be noted that the aggregate production of these g companies (Amalgamated dupliction has been sub tracted) promises to show growth of 127 900 900 pounds, or approximately 9 per cent in the five years covered. yet, in spite of this increase in capacity and earning power, these stocks are now selling on the average about 50 per cent lower than the prices record ed on the fictitious 17-cent copper mar. ket of 1893 to 1901. They now have natural and legitimate Is 1-4 cent cop per market, with a good chance of an advance to F cents, despite the big in crease in production.

 Though copper stocks have scored splendid advances during the past year and half. they are not yet sell ing as high as they are entitled to in view of their increased production, their earnings and the present very very favorable trade outlook. Cop per has been selling at an average of about 15 3-S cents per pound during the first three and half months of this year; and the prospects is that all producers will be able to sell their entire production for the year at an average of at least 15 cents per pound. This is resulting in bonanza earnings all along the line. Dividends are be- ing increased and some new compa- nies are beginning to make distribu-

In light of calmer judg- ment it is now recognized that the earning capacity of railroads, indus. trial and mining companies is steadily growing, and new standard or values is being set upon good securities of all kinds.

Walkers Copper and Financial Letter

Exports so far this month aggregate over 1e.000 tons. Should the total for April reach 24.072 tons it would make the movement for the first four months of 1905 exactly the same as in the corresponding period of last year. Exports at present unquestionabiy rep resent the amount of copper actually required for immediate consumption, while a year ago foreign consumers were encouraged to buy considerably in excess of their current needs by the very attractive level of prices. the metal then being two to three cents per pound lower than now. The situation is. therefore, one that war rants the fullest confidence. it seems certain that prices will at least hold up to their present average for many

their stocks, and also what they would -be earning were the price Of copper back to 1S cents per pound again. this second table is prepared. It brings out the fact that the coppers. good and not so good together. are now earning
 an average of approximately II per cent on their selling prices; and the last column, which is a conservative estimate of what the several compa- nies would be able to earn this year were copper selling at Is cents, makes it plain that almost all of the coppers are now selling on the basis of a 13. cent copper market. Here is more reason for the belief, if any more were needed, that there is still room for a big advance in copper share prices.
