LIGHT HOGS STEADY, OTHERS LOWER

NEW LOW POINT FOR DOW-JONES AVERAGE MADE

Traders Holding Long Stocks Are Discouraged by Drop.

Average Stock Prices

Average price of twenty industrial stocks for Wednesday was 143.80. off 2-40. Average price of twenty rails for Wednesday was 107.07, off .10. Bu United Press NEW YORK, March 24. —Establishment of anew low for the year in Dow-Jones’ industrial averages, which dropped to 143.80 at Tuesday’s close, compared with 144.44, the low point of the break earlier this month, discouraged many traders who had been holding long stocks in the hope of a sustained recovery. Their selling in early dealings, in conjunction with forced liquidation of impaired margin accounts added a heavy tone to the industrial list and further recessions took place in numerous individual stocks. No organized attempt was led by banking intrests to support the market, and stocks sank to further new lows around noon. General Motors dropped 4 points to 119 Is; Dupont, 10% to 200%; Hudson, 4% to 85%; Jordan, 2% to 44, and Nash, 1% to 52. American Can, General Electric and other pivot shares were under pressure and rapid declines in stocks of this class gave the whole market an extremely weak appearance.

Heavier receipts, estimated at 6,060. and 208 holdovers from the Tuesday session, was responsible for tlie cut on heavies but a good demand for lights saved them from a like cut in price.

A slightly better tone was shown in the sheep and lamb department, due to the increased receipts estimated at 300 bovines. One firm handled 200 of the run and they sold at $12.50. Most of the lambs were priced between sl2 and $12.50. Values were said to be steady and the slump was due to poor quality in the offering.

Collins fined McGlynn $lO and sentenced him to ten days in jail on charge of impersonating an officer. AV illiam Dugan, 109 Blake St., who was with McGlynn, was fined $25 on an assault and battery charge. i Miss O’Nan testified Dugan grabbed her arm after she opened the door.

Dugan said he went to the apartment to collect on a worthless check given, him by another woman.

SEEK BRIDE IN SKELETON CASE (Continued From Page 1)

ing, in April, 1923, they were married, according to the letter. Home in November, 1923 For a while the couple lived in Ft. Wayne and Kokomo and then moved to Indianapolis. The last time the daughter was at home was early in November, 1923. Wright was with her. A few days after their arrival a woman who said she was Josephine Copeland, and gave a N. New Jersey St. address, appeared and charged that Wright was a bigamist, that he had another wife. Wright did not see the woman, the letter said, but left hurridely the next day with his wife. A letter written by the daughter from an Indianapolis hotel the following Saturday was the last message, but the letter was destroyed and they do not remember the name of the hotel, the parents told Kinney. Teeth Capped With Gold T ’heir daughter had one or two jaw i.-eth capped with gold and wore a diamond ring, the parents said in the letter. She was slight in stature, had light, bobbed hair nearl> red, and weighed about 100 pounds. The poster from Brazil police said Wright is wanted there for bigamy. He was described as being about 40 to 45 years old, five feet ten inches tall, weighing ICO to 185 pounds and a good dresser. He sold Moon and Apperson cars in Indiana, claims to be a veteran of the World War with Canadian army; wears a Shriner’s pin, although his name is not listed as a member with the Grand Lodge, and claims to be a John Hopkins University medical graduate, although his name is not listed in the school catalog, the Brizil chief said. Size, Age Correspond Medical authorities believe the woman whose skeleton was found was about the same age and build as Mrs. Wright. Two of the teeth of the skelton were gold and there were a number of gold fillings in the mouth. Detectives, however, have advanced the theory that the body was buried about twenty-five or thirty years ago. They pointed out that the storeroom under which the bones were found was occupied in 1923 and that it is unlikely any one could have dug the hole in which the body was sou id in lime without disturbing the occupants. Sought in 1923 Detectives sought Wright in 1923 when they first learned of his wife's disappearance, Captain Kinney said, but were unable to find any trace of him. . A man connected with the now defunct Crane Motor Sales Company, 960 N. Meridian St., in 1923, recalled that there was an Albert Wright connected with that firm then for six weeks or two months In the wholesale department. One day Wright introduced a woman to the employes as his new bride and explanied that they had just been married at Terre Haute, Ind., he said. Several days later it was rumored that Wright had another wife. He suddenly disap-

Man early learned to work copper, for like gold and silver it is found locally in a pure state and can be beaten into shape even when cold. Alloyed with tin it gives us bronze, and so widespread was the use of bronze in early history that the period is known as the Bronze Age. The Egyptians used copper 5,600 years before Christ, and In museums tire many weapons and other objects of bronze and copper even older. Combined with other metals, copper makes brass, and other alloys. Two parts of zinc added to eleven parts of copper makes ‘‘Dutch metal," an alloy so malleable that it is beaten out like gold leaf and used as a cheaper substitute for tho latter. K Alone, copper is used for electrical purposes, boilers, cooking vessels, etc. In thin plates it is used for engraving and etching, and id strong rollers for calico-printing. Every coin from the bronze cent to the gold piece has some copper in it. Various chemical compounds of copper are extensively used as sprays to kill fungi and insects, for all copper compounds, such as blue vitriol are poisonous. The Romans obtained their copper largely from Cyprus, an Island in the Mediterranean, so they called it cyprum, from which our word “copper" is derived. Copper ores are widely distributed, being found in Europe, Japan, Africa, Australia and North and South America. More than half the world's supply comes from the United States. Imagine a room 14%x24% feet, walled with brick and cement and extending down nearly a mile below the surface of the ground, that is the Red Jacket shaft of the Calumet and ilecla mine in northern Michigan. It Is divided, up and down, Into six compartments. At one end are two elevators with dou-ble-deck cages for men and materials, and at the other end are two more cages, each provided with a nine-ton self dumping “skip,” or bucket, hanging below it. These “skips” are used to bring the ore up from tunnels below. In the two compartments in the center are large cylindrical steel bailers through which water In the mine is brought to the surface. These elevators travel much Lister than elevators in skyscrapers. At various levels they pass horizontal tunnels, whlcn run In various directions, and in which men are at work digging out the rock or ore which contains the metallic copper. penred, not even resigning his position. Failed to Appear The woman he introduced as his second wife failed to appear at the agency and inquire about him, and it was taken for granted she disappeared with Wright to escape the first wife. Chief Fulk, Brazil, said he would supply police with an exact description of the ring worn by Mrs. Wright. A diamond ring was found in the street near the storeroom where the skeleton was discovered. The ring was 10 or 15 feet from the place where dirt from the excavation was dumped, and is not believed to have been In the hole with the bones.

COPPER— It’s use is traced to 5,000 years before Christ.

Each of these tunnels is equipped with little railway tracks and electrically operated cars to haul the ore. Each lies an elaborate system of water pipes and hydrants, with fiber hose and chemical engines for use in case of fire, an electric alarm system, and telephones. At the ends of the tunnels the miners are loosening the copper ore by powerful hydraulic drills. A vast ventilating system Is constantly forcing the air from the surface to the mine, for tho temperature Increases downward so rapidly that at the bottom of this deep shaft, which goes down nearly a mile, the temperature would be something like 90 degrees F. If it were not artificially lowered. Copper ore is reduced to metal by processes varying with the ore. The “dry" process consists of roasting to eliminate certain impurities, and several smeltings. The “wet" process, used with ores containing low percentages of copper, consists of dissolving out the metal with acids, or converting it into a water-soluble salt by roasting with reagents. Special processes, including electrolysis, also are used. Tho most Important copper ores are native or pure copper, sulphides and oxides. The first step In the preparation of the ore when it comes from the mine is to crush it as finely as possible. The ore is then mixed with water and run over tables, called “jigging tables," that are in constant vibration. The bits of rock containing copper, being heavier, sink to the bottom, and the waste is washed away. The concentrated ore is melted, and the copper separated from impurities. Sulphide ore, which is called “copper glance,” is first roasted to drive off the sulphur. After two smeltings the metal Is sufficiently pure for ordinary purposes, and Is known as “blister" copper. To make tho purest copper, blister copper is refined by electrolysis. L. C. HUEY DEFENDANT Virginia Woman (1 targes Injuries Received In Crash. Margaret Fox of Huntington, W.
