panies and Carnegie were driven by SchWab and Morgan into the now oVershadowing United States Steel Corporation. In effect they said to Carnegie: We can build steel mills; you can't build mines To the mining companies We have ore of our own;
 what will you do with your product? With no outlet for your product what will you do? hey both went into the steel corporation.
 In view of the magnitude of Coles past and more recent achievements, it is wondered what can he do next to
 be worthy. of him. In Pittsburg and New York, and even up at Duluth and at Butte there are vague whisperings of a deal which for colossal propor- tions will exceed anything ever before attempted by Cole. It is so colossal that in Duluth and Butte where there are a large number of the smaller Cole satellites, it is spoken of vita bated breath. And 1t will be brought out in sections, as Lawson proposed to bring out the -AmalgamateI. It means nothing less than the ultimate combination of all these properties known as Cole Companies" compriS- ing the Calumet & Arizona, the Su- perior & Pittsburg and the Greene Cananea, the North Butte and Butte Coalition, Charley Schwab's Nevada copper bonanzas and the Keweenaw and other Michigan properties that Cole has recently taken over and gal vanized into life. It will Ee noted that these properties are named in groups that would fall into natural sec tions. And there is less risk of sa!l- ure and more money to be made Oy bringing these things out h sections than by combinig them all at eace

 perior & Pittsburg for economical reasons and found it to work like charm Will not the same benefits be derived from a combination of the oth- CTS? The United States Steel Co., with plants scattered throughout the country, is achieving economies great CT than were ever dreamed of by it's promoters and which would have been impossible under the old order of things. Would not the same arrange ment operate as well with copper as IL mas WiLn SIeSl!
 People have not yet ceased to won der at the apparent ease and facility of Coles absorption of the Cananea Consolidated. They had so long thought that death alone could release Col. Greene's grip on the Cananea mines, which have ever been the pride of his heart, and which he has ever defended against all corners with the courage of a lion, that the news of their acquisition by Cole was almost simplifying. Some thought it was f. nances. But the Greene Consolidated's finances were never in better shape than at the time of the merger. Some ascribed 1t to hypnotism, and others to alchemy.
 But may 1t not have been that the Colonel, while on his recent tour of Nevada, where Charley Schwab's mines are lscated, and which the Colonel visited; and of Montana and Michigan where are others of the Cole properties, which the Colonel took the trouble to examine-may it not have been, we repeat, that while on this trip the Colonel was permitted peep Into the Cole plans of the near future, and recoiled so daZzled by what was therein revealed that he was glad to put himself and his company in a position where they would participate in the good things coming by and by?
