the best things the state could do
would be to lease the Indian school
building and grounds from the L. S.
government for term of years with
a purchase option on the same. The
buildings could be fitted up as homes
for the aged and crippled miners of
the state. They would be to a great

PHELPS. DODGE MEIu;E.R.

In the copper trade the feeling is
universal that the consolidation OF
the properties of Phelps. Dodge &c
Co. mi the new corporation Phelps,
Dodge d Co, Inc, means that the
shares will go off like hot cakes on
frosty morning. says the Boston
Financial News The merging OF
these interests indicates that the
properties will be developed rapidly
along the lines that have always
characterized the work of thet re-
markable group of merchants and
scientific engineers. A great part Of
the metal from the Phelps, Dodge &
Co, properties Is consumed by the
copper and brass mills and kindred
metal working corporations which
are in considerable degree owned
by shareholders allied by kinship or
otherwise with the several families
identified for generations with the
firm of Pelps. Dodge &c Co.
Almost a century has rolled away
since the firm entered into i'm what
is in these days termed community
of interest which makers OF copper
and brass weares in Connecticut who

/ the famous Paul Revere. His his
toric midnight ride is better known
/ than the fact that he founded and
carried on "A brass working industry
which is now going on at this hour.
Nowhere else in the world is so
much copper and brass worked up
per acre of ground as in the part of
Connecticut whose cities and towns
bear names taken from the early
paftners of Phelps, Dodge & Co. and
their kinsman. The Ansonia Brass
company, always controlled by the
members of the firm of Phelps.
Dodge a. Co, was the first exporter of
domestic made brass products to
Europe and Asia. The Ansonla Clock

The largest assemblage of people
that ever attended an invitation af-
fair in Ely was present at the Stroll
ers dance last evening. In the deco
ration of the hall. the club used UNI
limited energy and an equal amount
of taste. In the center of the hal
was large Christmas tree, that was
literally covered with different col.
ored electric light globes. This in
connection with the other decoration:
gave the hall most beautiful APP
pearance. and seemed to lend add
tional life to the dancers. The clul
has reason to be proud OF the sue
cessful manner in which the dance
was handled, and 1T is safe 10 say
that any affair that they may give
in the future will be well attended
by those receiving invitations.
