1t was announced from New York
Saturday that plans have been
perfected for the forming Of a trust
to control the mining and smelling
of copper and lead ores. Next to the
steel trust this will be the greatest Of
the trusts 10 point of capitalization.
The vast increase In the use of these
metals, especially copper, will
doubtless make the operatiO q Of this
monopoly widely oppressive. The
announcement Of the formation Of
this trust is made calmly and attracts
no more attention in the newspapers
than an obscure runaway accident.
Three or four years ago the people
were excited upon this subject and
every combination Of this kind, even
the smaller ones, was loudly heralded.
The peoples interest has been
diverted to railroad rate and life
insurance evils. Mean while the new
trust will make more |millionaires in
five years than all the life insurance
grating since the war of the
revolution, and by a process as
unjustifable as that Of highway

To Europe by Airship
In Four Days
and Aeronautic Expert

BY Major C j S MILLER. utomoblin AM Aeronautc Expert
T does seem ridiculous to talk about covering three thousand
miles in four days travelling through the air, yet [ believe ten
or fifteen wears from now it will be AN ACCOMPLISHED
FACT. People laughed when told that a man could talk over
a wire ito a friend ten miles away, and now the telephone permits him
to do it when the friend iSa thousand miles away. We laughed when
told that kilograms could be sent without wires, but now it is done
every day.
On the face of things, it SEEMS improbable that we shall be able
to travel through the air at any great rate of speed, but the gasoline
engine, which has such an unlimited future, will solve the problem.
GAS BAGS WILL DO FOR GENERAL AscENsIoNs, BUT THE
FUTURE OF AERIAL NAVIGATION RESTS WITH THE USE OF
GASOLINE MOTORS AND AN AIRsHIP OF THE DIRGIeLE TYPE
