Ter TO watch the play at this distance

ground. This must necessarily be the
case in the beginning of a great move
ment. because it is in the field that the
first skirmishes take place, removed
from the scenes of the main conflict.
Now mark what tell you. The bust
ness OF copper mining, milling and smelt-
ing is going TO be reduced to CONNER
cial proposition and practically all of the.
great companies are going to be in on the
game. Competition may not be entirely
removed and all of the big concerns may
not be brought into a single combine, but
there is going to exist such a community
of interests in the business that a sta
bic market can be made for copper and
the manufacturer can be all the time pro-
tected against the possibility of being in
jured through outside competition when
it comes to handling large contracts that
require months and often years to eX-
ecute.

RESTING copper Eumes Also.

Every United States smelter employee
of observation has seen a test run of 10000
cubic feet of gas per minute going to a
section of the above described playhouse
from 'the copper flues for the last three
months. The fume was gathered, weighed,
analysed and aSsayed and not a bag was
eaten up or destroyed. Experiments on a
considerable scale have been knade in
which water figured as cleansing agent.
The experience OF various smoke cOuSum-
ing devices have been gathered.
The cleaning of gases IS an jmplense
problem and requires expenditures of
large amounts of money. When we con-
slider running this plant at full capacity
such as was the case last summer. close
to . million cubic feet of gas per minute
would have to be handled, the size of the
undertaking is rather surprising. IL really
means the handling of a cube of air 100
feet on each side of the cube per minute
and filteTing the same. The undertaking
is therefore one that would have to be
built up to. or. in other words, the ton
mage of the plant very much reduced so
as to allow of economic handling of the
gases.
IN view of this fact. so confident are
the officials Of the company of being
able to neutraliZe the poisonous gases

cost mines of Butte, Arizona and the

is to produce copper at small cost and
thus stimulate the lines of industry into
which the metal enters and which have
been badly shaken up during the past
year The new mines are going to be
made so perfect that older works can
not be operated in competition with them

Especial to the Herald.)

Bingham Junction, Feb. ~S.-Much has
been printed and said in relation to what
the United States Smelling company at
Bingham Junction is or is not doing
AS a number of these reports have con-
fiicted in data given, an inspection and
thorough investigation was made this
week for the purpose of getting at the
facts
At the present time the United States
company is smelling approximately 40
tons of ore and fluxes. including 100 tons
of lime rock, 100 tons of coke and seventy
tons of coal each twenty-fOur hours. And
as a result they are producing about
eighty tons of bullion during the same
period Of time. This goes to show that
some business is taking place, even if
there is no smoke issuing from the vari-
Gus stacks on the works.
The number of men employed has. been
reduced from LEO per day to about 420
and the entire copper plant is shut down
with its auxiliary departments. TIE con-
centrating plant and sampIng mills are
also closed.

Interest Back of Scheme.

''The nucleus of all this business is to
be found in the plans being worked out
by the Guggenheims and their allies 1t
can be seen in the proposed consolidation
of the Nevada Consolidated and Cumber-
land-Ely and other Ely properties. That
the Boston Consolidated. Utah Copper
and possibly other Utah copper mines are
to become factors in the proposition |
believe there is no doubt, notwithstanding
the denials that come whenever there is
a published intimatiOn that something OF
the kind is on. These Utah properties
are needed and they will be had by some
hook or crook.
There is almost daily evidence, in the
trend of the markets that the Amalga-
mated and Standard Oil interests, as well
as the other big combines, including the
Steel trust, are in on the game and the
result is going to be that the little fell
lows will stand a mighty small chance in
the copper world for many years to come.
They will be allowed to develop their
mines and will be able to turn them in
at fair prices as they are needed, but
the real effort will be to cut real COM
petition down and keep it down. The
copper trust will be the biggest trust IN
the world"

A clear ing house is a body representing all the banks in a town. t2) Members of a stock exchange will receive or ders to buy or sell any stock listed on that exchange.
