TODAYS MARKED BEST STOCK MARKET HAD
 IN TWO YEARS
High Price of Copper Given as the Reason for Changed
 Conditions.
(By Frank J. Graf.)

Today's market brings us back to the good old times that We used to have two years ago. and to tell the truth. its the first good liye market we nave had since that time. The present market ought to keep up and there is all indication that 1t will. es- peciaily if copper keeps up end thar is almost an assured fact.
 Superior & Pittsburg was the chief feature in today's market, sales re'ch- ing the highest mark at $2o.75 record ed in Boston and Duluth. At the close, however. there seems to be good deal of profit taking by Boston people. Boston buyers are great on taking profit. and in the morning they Will very likely get back into the market. Cananea Central also showed up well. sales being made at 5000, but at this figure there was considerable brought cut. and at the close was offeicd at $1e.5O with bids out at S19.37. Denu. Arizona held well at s20.25 with very little trading for the moment. War rem is practically cleaned up undeI S1S.00, although the demand for this stock today was not as active as yes terday. there was none offered, ano from indications I don't think thai there will be very much coming ou under that figure.

UTAH CONSOLIDATED.

Utah Consolidated has not had any such advance as it's friends feel it is entitled to for a stock paying $5 a share in dividends and earning at least sS.63 share does not seem high. The company has ample surplus to further increase it's smelling capacity when it is deemed advisable, without drawing from present earnings, and in view of President Broughton's re- ported interview concerning cohtinu- ance of the present strength in the metal situation, an increase in Utah's dividend rate at the next meeting of directors is already being talked of.
 There is a very large investment iii. terest in Utah Consolidated, both in this country and abroad, and it is one of the stocks that London has always felt friendly to in our market, but the management never fostered any stock market following.
 
 To get prestige as a political lead CT it is necessary to do more than reduce the majority of the winners.

ARE STILL FIGHTING FOR THE CONTROL
 0F \ MINE
Old Scarlet Mine Still Bone of Contention-One Board
 Wants Other Ousted.

PHOENIX, Ariz.. Sept. 19.-Another complication was added today to the affairs of the already famous Scarlet mine by the filing with Court Clerk Dunlevy of suit by A. c. Baker ct al against c. NJ. Clark ct al, to oust board of directors
 The full title of the action is A c. Baker, district attorney of Mariccpa county; w. H. Simpson. Jr-. John Sturdy. l.. B. Cobb. Theo. Cobb and R. H. Whitney versus C. NJ. Clark, c. F. Ainsworth. w. D. Fulwiler and Lloyd B. Christy.
 While the complaint filed by the plaintiffs sets forth but little, the mat ter if it comes to trial will be spicy with the inside doings that have in volved the Scarlet mine in much re cent sensational litigation.
 Charges of the misappropriation of a large block of the company's stock upon which one of the boards of di- rectors is said to base its authority, will probably be one of the charges made before the fight ends.
 Several other suits containing charges of misappropriation. misrep- Tesentation and frenzied financial methods are pending in which each side of the controversy does not Eesf- tate to charge the other faction with several violations of the statutes.
 Tn the action filed today it is set forth that the Fortuna Gold & Cop per company provided that the annual meeting of the stockholders he held in Phoenix for the election of Gi-ec- tors on the second Tuesday ,n each January.
 At the same time of the company's interpretation 1t is alleged tha. c. M Clerk, Fergus Donovan. w. H. Simpson, John Sturdy. L. D. Cobb, Theo. Cobb and R. M. Whitney were named to serve until the first annual meeting.
 No meeting was held in January of 1906, the meeting being held on June 30, 1906. when Simpson, Sturdy, the two Cobbs and Whitney were elected i directors. They made Sturdy rresi- dent, Theo Cobb vice-president, and {, Simpson secretary and treasurer. 1 Since June 30, 1906, the defendants are charged with claiming that they | constitute 4he board of directors, with Clerk president. Fulwiler secretary ard Ch-is-y treasurer.
 This has given the same company | two sets of directors and two sets of officials. both of which are now Etriv ing for possession of the company's property. which consists principally ! of the Scarle. mine
 The defendants are charged with
 having taken possession of the com pany's books. records and papers. as
 well as a large sum of money, amount ing to about S1500.

 tablish them as the legal directors and and officials, to compel the defend

NORTH BUTTE OUTPUT EXCEEDS FORMER
 ESTIMATES
Sixteen Hundred Tons Daily Are Being Hoisted From
 This Property.

BOSTON, Sept. 19.--A dispatch from Butte states that over 1900 tons of ore is being hoisted daily. This is quite an increase over what was gen. erally reported by people in position to know who have been figuring the earnings in excess of $16 share on an output of 1900 tons dails.
 With the increase in amount of ore hoisted, corresponding increase in production of copper should not be looked for, but earnings today warrant being paid, unless the management have in mind the purchase of addition al properties. Since the company was formed they have purchased numerous claims adjoining the original Edith, May, Jessie and Miners Union prop critics, and while the new properties have not as yet added to the produc- ton drift is now being run towards the Berlin property, and doubtless some interesting news will be the re- suit os this exploration work.
 The 1700 foot level of the Jessie claim is said to even exceed in rich ness the 1900 foot level where most of the ore has been coming from dur ing the past year.
 There is no copper property in which Boston is interested that has made such a record as North Butte, and there are more investment orders in this stock during the past year fhan any other listed on the Boston Stock Exchange.
 Insiders feel just as confident of its position now as when the stock was selling much lower, and the inactivity for the past two months prior to the recent advance has been taken ad. vantage of by people who know most about the property to quietly accumu late stock.

 during the middle of the day
 stocks showed a tendency to

 showed good strength at the close and the outlook for the remainder of the week is for higher prices and an increase . in dealing. The features of the market still continue to be Warren, American. Denn. Superior & Pittsburg. Can. Cent. Shattuck, Globe and Keweenaw. Every thing offered has been cleared , off the slate today and even more of these stocks are want. ed. Warren and American in particular are sought after and we'll might the traders pick up these stocks as both are good for several points aI- vance before long. Just as a matter of little information we will say that developments have proved enough on these . properties that for a certainty will place them among the pro- duceTs so soon as the compan- ies install the proper equip } ment, and it ought not be Ysry long before the management takes steps toward this end. Again there is information from the north headquarters } that the stockholders of the Cananea-Duluth are going to be we'll taken care of when mat tens as between the CD. and Cananea Central are finally closed. The information comes from a reliable source and the stockholders need not worry, but we will say that they will be required to wait for official announcement for some time longer. You can afford to wait. however, and as we have stated right along. when everybody else says nay, you will make a handsome profit on your in- , vestment.

RECALL lABOR'S PAST
FOR PROOF Of PROGRESS
What Unionism Has Accom-
plished for the Working
men in Less Than Century.
Hours of Labor Have Been Gu
in Two, Wages Have Been
Materially Increased.

For the benefit Of the new man in
the labor movement who knows moth
ing of the conditions which prevailed
prior to the establishment of we'll or
ganized and equipped unions, let us re-
vert to conditions which existed then
in comparison with the conditions now
made such through the labor organi-
xations.
Before the advance Of trade unions
Or less than 100 years ago, men, mo-
men and children worked 13 and IA
hours per day and in great many
places 16 hours. History shows that in
1900 the workingmen and women
started work in the morning at o.
clock, at 10 o'clock they had an hour
for dinner, from which time they
worked until darkness. AS late as 1896
women and children begun work in
some factories in New England at 4:3O
in the morning and worked an hour or
two after sunset. One hundred, years
ago the brick layers in New York
worked IA hours a day for so cents a
day, today they have eight hour
work day at so cents an hour.
1t is said that a union man named
Michael Mention wrote letters to one
of the papers describing the condition
of the bricklayers and while all of his
charges were found to be true, he was
arrested for libel and sentenced to 60
days in Jail. Hence to even say a word
in defense Of labor in thise days was
a crime.
The original American factories were
governed by the most outrageous and
oppressive regulations, in which regu-
lations the worker had no vice. There
was time in the history of this coun
try when the workers were taxed to
support the churches and fined if hab-
itually absent from religious worship.
Some able writer's and historians have
clearly proven that in some factories
women and children were lashed with
a raw hide If the overseer detected
them snatching a moments rest.
Herbert N Casson says the city of
Washington was built by workers who
received about SO cents a day and
worked from sunrise to sunset; that at
the commencement of the nineteenth
century wages in New York were 40
cents a day. in Baltimore SO cents, and
that the average rate all over the coun-
try was 365 q year, with board and
sometimes lodging:
These frightful conditions, low wages,
long hours, poverty and degradation
have been gradually overcome and
steadily improved through trade union
activity In a great many organized
trades the worker receives more in one
month at eight hours labor per day
than was formerly received by similar
workmen in one whole year.
