payers on mines of such promise and
so well-managed that they are expect

is not a speculative market. since the
object lessons of 1892 and 1898. when
anything printed on paper representing
a so-called mine on prospect found
purchasers; but IL was our craze period
and no stock Is offered.

BROWNE CONFIRMED.

Eud of One of the Bitterest Fights Ever
Made Over Federal Appoint ment.
Great Falls, Jan. "a telegram re-

BY unanimous consent the nomina-
tion of David G. Brown to collector
of customs for the district of Mon
tana and Idaho was to-day taken up
out of the regular order of business
and confirmed by the senate. This
ends one of the most peculiar cases in
the history of the appointment power

David G. Brownies nomination as COL

President Cleveland in April, 1893 but
owing to the opposition of T. c. Power

Brownies nomination. Immediately
after the adjournment of congress

Browne to serve until the end of the
next session. At the extraordinary ses-
sion of congress in September, 1898.

act, the president again nominated

Cleveland again commissioned him as

and again sent his name to the senate
on the first day of the reconvening of
congress IN December. 1893, but con-
gress again adjourned Aug. 2s, 1894.

Cleveland again commissioned Browne
the following day and. for the fourth
time, sent his name to the senate on

COPPER And SILVER
Production and Prices Of the Meta
for the Year 1896.
SOME VALUABLE STATISTICS
interesting Figures Compiled From
Weekly and Monthly Reports OF
the Engineering and Mining
Journai"-Heiena Stocks.

The increase in the copper production
for 1895 is quite marked. and as the de-
mand not only here but in Europe has
more than kept pace with increased
supply, we have further testimony to
the general improvement in business
activity on a substantial basis. In this
country the production of copper for
the past year in a total of 172.300 long
tons shows an increase of 29,947,360
pounds over 1894. and as we pointed
out in our last issue the copper in
sight Is less than at any time since
1887. A striking feature. and of inter-
est from the home point of view, is that
in spite of the increase of production
and a good demand at fair prices exist
ing abroad, the exports have fallen In
1895 to 62.474 long tons as against 1921
in 1894
The production of copper in 1896 re-
hected very nearly the general course
of business. During the first half of
the year there was little change in the
output, but with July the production
began to increase and continued heavy
until the close of the year.
The production of copper in the Uni
ted States from domestic ore. amounted
in 1894 to 353. .504. .314 pounds. and In 1895
10 $50. .000. 900 pounds. or 172. 800 long tons
an increase of about 32l1 million
pounds, according to the statistics col
lected by John Stanton for the associ-
ated producers. These statistics are
very carefully compiled, but the out
put Of a number of somewhat import
ant producers are only estimated. and
the final figures which will appear later
in The Mineral Industry, Vol ~, will
give the final authoritative figures for
those now estimated. The production
has been as follows as compared with
1894, taken from the Mineral Industry.

eallows on next Monday.
Following close upon the action of the

dered a decision upholding the lower court
and dissipating one Of the strongest hopes
built up by her lawyers TO save the WOO
man from the gibbet, the plea of insanity.
the United States supreme court VIII az
that time pass an order dismissing the
case now pending there. Thus Mrs. No
bic Will be thrown back upon the pre-
carious chance Of a lunacy trial by jury
of Twiggs county citizens, who have al
ready shown by the demonstration tha-
greeted her conviction and sentence 10
death that they have little or no feeling
for her. and finally upon the possibility
of clemency at the hands of Gov. Atkln-
son.
The case in the United States supreme
court was to have been heard on Mon
day, but Attorney General Terrell was
to-day notified by that tribunal that Mrs.
Mobiles attorneys have abandoned hope
OF favorable action there and the court
will dismiss the case when it is calico
on Monday, the woman attorneys
having failed 10 have their brief
printed and filed. Attorney General Ter
Tel had arranged TO go on to Washington
10 represent the state, in the case but this
will not now be necessary and this af-
1ernOOn he forwarded the necessary for
NAL brief to complete the record.
As soon as the case is formally disposed

confined in the Bibb county jail, viii in

coutny TO be re-sentenced or tried for lun-
acy.
When the appeal was taken to the Unit
ed States supreme court Mrs. Mobiles at
tOrneys hoped to gain two or three years
time for her, for IL nearly always takes
that long for case to be regularly reach
ed on Inc supreme court docket Upon
motion Of Attorney General Terrell the
case was advanced out of us regular or
der and the play for time mscarried.
Mrs, Mobiles attorneys, however, declare
that they have not abandoned her but will
yet save her from the gallows. Said At
torney W. G. Glenn: THE case has hardly
gotten a good start. one Of the points in
the appeal we made TO the United States
court was that Il was within the jurisdic-
ton OF the ordinary Of Bibb county to
have granted the writ of lunacy.
The supreme court Of the state decides
otherwise, and as the United States SUI
preme court is governed by state statutes
we knew it would be useless TO 90 fur
1her with the case, so we notified the
clerk or the court that we would not 80
again get to the United States supreme
court" Mr.. Glenn added. we intend to
see that this old woman gets the benefit
of all the law in the country before she
comes to the gallows. Mrs. Mobiles is
long, long way from hanging as yet"
