Is 81 Years Old.
The International Typographical
Union is fifty-seven years old, and
with the present gathering has held
fifty-five conventions during its life
time. In 1896 and 1898 biennial con-
ventions were held. The International
typographical Union claims to be the
Oldest national or international organ
ization Of skilled labor In the world.
Its sessions here this week are at
tended by three hundred delegates
and eight hundred visitors
Matters of importance that are to
come before the convention are pro-
positions for the establishment of an
insurance feature, and certain changes
proposed in the pension policy that
was made effective by the union one
year ago. The relations between the
union and the American Newspaper
Publishers Association will also be
up for consideration.
Has Many Features.
The International Typographical
Union has many features that are
unique with labor organizations, and
which stamp this union as one of the
most progressive in the labor field.
The pension policy, for instance. is
distinctive with the International Ty-
biographical Union. Under the pension
law, members who have reached the
age of so years and are unable to Sc
cure sustaining employment at the
trade are paid 81 per week. The pay
ment of pensions has heretofore been
considered the function of the govern
ment, but in this instance the union
evidently believes that it's veterans
should be taken care of independent
of state or nation. The payment of
pensions began with the first of last
August and up to May 81, when the
unions fiscal year closed, $67,5SO had
been paid pensioners, while the ad-
of the fund had cost only
50 1000.
Conducts Home.
The union also conducts a home at
Colorado Springs. and contributed dur
ing its fiscal year to this institution
$S6,51S.31. The actual expense of con-
Quoting the Union Printers Home was
81, 1884, and there was a balance in
the home fund of $3o,33763. The re-
ceipts and expenditures of the home
from its inception to May 81, 1909,
we're $s67,S O1.20 and $685., 1896 The
home property at Colorado Springs is
valued at $1,OO0,0OO.
The union pays a burial benefit Of
s75.

If the floating labor units in the

SOME IMPORTANT
 DEALS IN COPPER
INFLUENTIAL FINANCIAL INTER ESTS LOOK FOR HIGHER
 METAL PRICES

We have reason to believe that nego- tiations are pending which are destined to have an important effect, and in the very near future, on the price of cop per, says the Boston News Bureau.
 While it is too early to speak defn- itely regarding the matter, it may be said that important copper interests are looking for higher prices within the next sixty or ninety days, possibly sooner.
 Several large copper consumers who have reason to believe that negOtia- tions of some character are pending are laying in supplies of the metal suf ficicnt to last them for the next two or three years.
 Satisfactorily, the position of copper would hold out little hope of an ad vancing market, but there is confident opinion in high financial circles that the statistical position will very shortly show very decided improvement
 Incidentally, it may be said thai there have been sales of copper dur ing the past week at 127s cents pel pound, and during the past twenty-fou- hours one of the largest selling agencie has sold q considerable tonnage att l. | cents.

MORALES, Ariz., July 23.-Josc Osunia, mining engineer, came in from the vicinity of the Planchas de Plata mining camp where he had been in the interest of the company he rep resents. He states the camp is at pres ent quiet, but word or two casually spoken is an indication that operations will shortly begin on some of the rich properties in and ad jacent to the Planchas de Plata camp.
 The discovery of this region about l79S, when an expedition was sent from Mexico City with view of ex- ploring the northern territories and in vestigating the mining, agricultural and stock raising interests. While on this expedition, the travellers found in canyon several thousands pounds of native silver, one piece weighing 21Ot pounds. Ever since the rich discovery the canyon has been worked for placer silver after each heavy rain. Washed down from some lead in the vicinity the source has never been discovered though there has been great deal of prospecting for the mother lead.
 Silver veins have been found abou mile or more distant that have paiC handsomely for the amount of worl done on them

LEW|S0HNs ACQUIRE FAMOUS PLANET
 PROPERTY
SALE OF RICH MINES TO LARGE INTERESTS CONFIRMED AND
 DETAILS ANNOUNCED

PRESCOTT, July 23.-Confirmation of the sale of the famous Planet mines, in Yuma county, was given last night by A. B. Jones, the owner of them, who arrived in the city from Los An, geles. Mr. Jones said that the Lewis ohns, the mining millionaires of New York, will take over the group and begin the development of them at once. He is here to turn the property over to that syndicate stopping over day in the city in order to make better con nections on the railroad and will leave this morning on the earlier train.
 Speaking of the sale that has been eonsummated, MT. Jones says the pur- chasers have taken mp practically 4O,- GOO shares for cash of the treasury stock. Some idea of the sum paid for this privilege may be mentioned by stating that the value of this one tran saetion reaches $400,000. Following this outright purchase the syndicate also took an option on the ground prop CT, at a certain price running also into the hundreds of thousands of dollars, and under the provisions of the transac- tion in this respect they are permitted to operate the property.
 Adjoining the group sold, MT. Jones individually is the owner of many other claims, and these also, will later go, making in all one of the heaviest finan- cial deals ever to take place in this ter ritory. The work of generally operat- ing this magnificent mineral proposition will follow at an early date, or as soon as the plans are perfected, which arc being considered at the present time in the east.
 No mining proposition in the terri tory is better known or has the attrac tive rating that the Planet system en joys. They rank among the oldest 1T location in northern Arizona and for ! great many years have been developed extensively and very methodically.
 Mir. Jones is enroute to his forine camp on private matters, to remain but few days. Later he will come t' this city for more extended visit.
