COPPER SALES RUN UP INTO HIGH
 FIGURES
United Metals Selling Company Disposes Of
 Many Tons

There have been some extraordinary sales of copper during the past week or fen days and the aggregate will to. tal at least sO,OOO.OO0 pounds, says thc Boston News Bureau
 The United Metals Selling Co.,, dur ing the past eight days, has alone dis posed of 60,000,O0o pounds of copper, selling 27,000.00o pounds in ono day. This copper was sold at prices ranging between 1850 and 1880 cents and was very largely of the clectrolytlc brand. Some of this copper has been sold for delivery as far ahead as next March, although none of the larger producers Care to sell in quantity beyond the first of the year or, for that matter, beyond December |.
 The United Metals selling Company has no spot copper m hand today and 70 day copper 'o offer at prices now quoted
 Orders which have been placed in inc past week did not come from a few large consumers, but from very large number of manufacturers. large and small
 Charles r. Brookcr has bought quite heavily and when he entered the mark ct q few days ago his action quickly became known and spread like wild fire among the smaller consumers These consumers argued that, if . prominent member of the Republican national committee and the largest in diyidual buyer of copper in the coun- try, had concluded that it was time to buy copper, tha, was good enough for them ani the result vas that orders poured in by wire and telephone in n manner which has not been witnessed for many months.
 Calumet X IIecla and Phelps. Dodge & Co. have mlrSc sales in considerable quantity, so that. with the amount sold by other selling interests, including the companies which sell direct, if is quite within reason to estimate the total sales during the past ten days al between 7jOOO.OOO and 100000. 900 pounds

Prospectors Discover Orc Similar tc
 Sylvanite.

Tombstone, Nov. i.-.Joe S,amficld was Tombstone visitor today. He brings the news of a new gold excit mcnt near Gleason which has aroused much interest and caused quite a rush 10 the new fields. The new find is about four miles east of Gleason near the vicinity of what is known as Sugar Loaf Hill. Some rich samples of free gold were found, and further work has encouraged the belief that a rich gold field has been found. Tae country is all located by the prospectors and miners who were attracted from Gleason, Lead vile and Courtland sections, and it is thought development will open up n bonanza.

QUESTION IF [AB0R SEEMS ID DEFY
 SOLUTION
Great Problem Continues To Puzzle Miners
 And Operators
Mining World

One of the most ,cXatiou- problems that hes long dcGed an intelligent. sat i.fac,ory solution, i> tho equitable pay. mont of mine labor I'nionists and economist, of no mean intellectual at. tainmrnt have hccn baked time and again.
 Legislation that reduces the hours of work io ten or cigh, per days, and raises wages. while it exhibits the spiri, of humanity tha, recognizes man needs rest and proper sustcnancc to make him q better worker to morrow, sometimes proves To bc an abuse rath er than a benefit. We are thinking of the workman who takes undue advan. tagc of his employer by wilfully nc glecting his duty, and when called to account appeals to organized labor for support in the campaign against cap italis,s in general.
 To lcgislatc in favor of an undcslr able element that is known to bc the cause of discontcni in any mining camp no matter how good may be the properties worked or how liberal the management needs to be severely crit iciscd. Likewise when the senatorial chairs are filled by men presumably chosen by and for the benefit of the people but in reality are supported by | law breaking combinations of capital, ! then any legislation in favor of such employers is grossly unjust. The only chord of harmony between employer and cmployc can bc that of fair play or square deal.
 Wages of miners. like the salaries of the officials of the company operating the property, should he regulated by the earnings from the products mar. keted. This idea met with favor in | the Butte district early in 1907, when the employees of the mines and smeltcrs agreed to n compromise increase of wages, the scale to be governed by the price of copper. At that time the min CTS were receiving s3.15 per day, al. | though the union had fixed the rate at *3.5O. Tho agreement signed for five years was that when copper sold at IS cents or more per pound, the miners were to get $I per day, and when the price of copper dropped below IS cents the wage was to be $50.
 The fact that not only copper, but all other metals are selling today at much lower prices than they did a year or so ago, without encouraging con. sumption in the face of general busi- ness depression, suggests that the earn. ings of mines and netallurgical works have been cut rather deeply. The sit. untion at present is not as aggravating as it was few months ago, judging by the employment of labor and there is evidence that n further i'm. provcment will he noticed after the presidential eiectios.
 In practically all branches of the mining industry wages and general expenses have beea readjusted to con. form 10 the unusual economic condi. lions that prevail. Miners asa rule are getting about what they did before the boom years of 1908 and 1907, when they were encouraged to demand a sub. stantial increase in wages. There is a possibility, however, that wages will be higher in a year or two, provided, of course, that prosperity for the cm- ploycr is not delayed too long.
