Paine, Weber & Co.'S Gossip

Some of the members Of the Boston
stock Exchange who have been in
conference with Calumet and Hecla Of
ncials and who were disposed to take
position Of strong opposition TO the
merger state that they have experienc-
ed "a change of heart now that they
better understand the plan and the ad-
vantages TO accrue therefrom TO each
constituent company At these con-
ferences, President Shaw has been
painstaking, frank and explicit in his
statements and has succeeded i'm dem
least that from a business standpoint
the consolidation is desirable. and that
the terms of exchange are under the
circumstances equitable A broker who
has strongly opposed the merger and
who was one of the committee who
waited upon the Calumet and Hecla
officials last week says: Those who
visit the Calumet and Hecla Office, no
matter how strongly they have criti-
Cized the consolidation, leave with
their mind changed in its favor While
the plan would seem 10 tack certain
desirable features. there is n growing
feeling among the brokers that under
these conditions nothing better could
be done. Further conferences between
President Shaw and some OF the dis
satisfied stockholders will be held, but
predict that when the meetings Of the
several constituent companies are held
in March to vote on the merger there
will be little or no opposition. Broker

TEMPERED COPPER.
Mexican Scientists Claim the Lost
Art" Never Existed.

AFl NCNCT ENioNcns
"That the most famous lost art o
tempering copper. said 10 have beel
possessed by the Aztecs and Tarascan
In prehistoric days in this country
never existed, is the claim of severa
archaeologists and ethnologists o
city" says the Mexican Herald.
Experiments were made during tn,
past week showing that none of the
many copper tools found in the ruined
cities and in the graves of these dead
tribes ever were tempered. Copper
axes and knife blades found at Atz-
capotazalco were discovered TO be so
soft that they could be cut with a
common pocket knife on the other
hand. Tarascan copper cutting imple-
ments from the Balsas river ruins i'm
Guerrero were so hard that they would
turn the edge of modern knife.
Comparative analyses, carefully
made. showed that the blades from
Atzcapotazalco were of precisely the
some composition as the copper found
I'm the ore of the nearby hills. Similar
treatment showed that the hard. APP
parently tempered blades from Guer-
zero were of precisely the same COM
position as the copper in the ore from
their hills.
Then comparison Of the two classes
of ores was made. also by analysis
and it was shown that the natural ore
of the local hills was pure and soft
while that from Guerrero had been al
lowed by nature with nickel and co..
bait, making it almost as hard as steel
i'm its natural condition.
"Then across the minds of the scien-
lists flashed the answer TO the alleged
copper tempering Of the Mexican alb
origines. In some sections of Mexico |
the copper was already tempered for I
them: the cobalt and the nickel fused |
with the copper. when heated In their /
primitive furnaces and the result was /
grade of alloy which, when heated |
and sharpened. gave an edge which
would cut like steel. The Indians knew
nothing Of the art Of tempering the
metal themselves and could not have
removed the cobalt and the nickel
from their ores even had they so de-
sired.
ION the other hand, in other parts
OF Mexico where the copper occurred
pure, the implements made
from it were soft, and remains so to
this day, proving decisively that the d
primitive Tubal Gains knew not what I
ingredients to put into their axes and
knives to make them hard. The hard /
axe and knife would be, Of course. in >
lnitely superior to the soft. and it is ,

who built Militia and Palenque and the
other wonderful cities OF Americas ;
Egypt did not know this, and would ,
