Rumors of a gigantic copper trust
which have stirred the northern ore

Mr.. Corey came to Chicago yesterday

Amalgamated Copper company: r. L.
Agassiz of Hamilton, Mass; p L. Fster
of New York. representatives of the
Guggenheims and the Rothschilds of
England.
The party has just made a tour of
their southwestern copper properties
and was met by John II. Mclean and
John Sebenius of Duluth. The copper
magnates held three nour conie.Sn~~
at the Blackstone hotter.
Trusts are not desirable playthings
right now. and for this reason. If for
no other there will be no billion dollar
copper trust formed" said Mr.. Corey
I'VE have simply been making a tour
of our properties in and around Mexico.
We inspected the Hecia and Calumet
and other mines. There is not CONSOLE

templated.'
Today Messrs Ryan, Agassiz. and
Foster will leave for New York, while
Mr.. Corey and the others will go to his

MILL co.
MANAGER
TO LEAVE

East Chicago. Ind, Set. %. East
Chicago is about to suffer a more than
ordinary deprivation in the loss OF Har-
ry Steinbreder manager of the Re
public Iron and steel company, who
has been transferred to a similar po-
sition in the Mahoming Valley works,
another mill in the same company, at
Youngstown, D. The transfer is in the
nature of a promotion, the Youngs-
town plant being a much larger one
than the plant in East Chicago
Mr.. Steinbreder's duties at the Re-
public will be assumed by Lafe Young
the present superintendent, and the
former. although the change in his po-
sition is to take effect Oct. l, will not
leave for the scene of his future ac-
Invites until about the middle of next
week.
Since he came to East Chicago, two
years ago, from Moline, where he was
manager of the Sylvan works for two
years, Mr.. Steinbreder has attained
much popularity both among the men
at the mill and socially His transfer
from the Moline plant to the East Chi
cago mill was also a promotion. and
he is regarded among men high in his
line as an all around conner" The
him take his leave as they are not
fnsensible to all the improvements he
has made in their condition by at
tention to their comforts as well as his
satisfactory methods of meeting and
dealing with them.
The mill at Youngstown, to which
he has been transferred contains five
finishing mills, a busheling and a pud-
ding mill, besides a shafting works. a
grad iron foundry and boiler shop. The
vacancy he is going to fill was created
by the promotion of his predecessor tic
| a still higher position. The Youngs-
| town berth is, however. regarded as
| one of the best within the gift of the
company
| Mr.. Steinbreder has been with the
| Republic Iron & Steel company in hi:
different capacities for the past ST,
years He is originally from st. Louis
| where his family is prominent, and h,
is graduate of the St Louis Manua
Training school and of the Washington
