THEE|GHT- HOUR LAW ENFORCED
SUPERINTENDENT OF MAMMOTH
MILL PLEADS GUILTY.
Was Fined $50 and Costs-Attorney
Pike Gives Notice That the Law
VIII Be Strictly Enforced.

Mammoth, March 12.-In Justice
Goodrich's court today Nj. O'Rourke,
the superintendent of the Mammoth
mill, withdrew plea of not guilty and
pleaded guilty to a complaint charg-
ing him with violation of the eight
hour law, preferred by George Rees,
a former employee of the mill. The
case has been pending since December,
awaiting the decision of the United
States supreme court as to the valid
ity of the eight-hour law, and as soon
as that settled the question of the con-
stitutionality of the measure, the case
here was set for trial, with the above
result.
When the case was called, County
Attorney Ed Pike moved the court for
judgment upon the plea of guilty, and
on behalf of the defendant, Judge Ben
nett of Salt Lake stated to the court
that Mr.. O'Rourke had acted in good
faith in the matter, and upon legal adj
vice, as many lawyers of Utah had
thought the act was unconstitutional,
but that advice had been unfortunate,
and now that the act had been declared
constitutional, it would be observed
and respected in the future. He sug-
gested that fine would meet the re-
quirements of justice in this case, and
the court.
On behalf of the state, County Attor-
ney Pike stated to the court that as de-
PENDANT had come into court and enter
ed plea of guilty, and that it was rep
resented to him that he had acted in
perfect good faith in the matter, and
that in the future there would be a
strict observance of the terms of the
law, he was disposed to ask that the
first offenSe in this court he visited
with the maximum penalty, which
might be six months Imprisonment in
the county Jail, but that he would give
notice now, so that there might be no
misunderstanding with regard to fu-
ture cases arising under this law, that
whenever a conviction is secured, he
would press for the full penalty of the
law, without regard to whether the
violator was a corporation or its agent,
for the reason that, as all were sup
posed to know the law, there could be
no legal or reasonable excuse for its
violation. While the contention had
been made, and, perhaps, in good faith,
that the law was unconstitutional, that
contention had been effectually dispoS-
ed of by the recent decision, and while
it might be urged in mitigation of an
offense prior to that decision, the law
must now be observed without any
evasion whatever.
justice GOOillcn inquired Oh MI
O'Rourke as to whether the mill had
been run strictly under the eighthour
law since the supreme court decision,
and he answered that it had, and would
be in the future. After taking the
matter under advisement for an hour.
the court fined Mr.. 'O'Rourke $50, with
costs, amounting to a total of $40.
It is understood that the law is now
being strictly observed throughout Tin
tic district.

PICTURES FROM LIFE.
Many Women Have Passed Through
the Same Experience and With
Equally Happy Results.


She had once been a beautiful and
attractive woman. Her friends adored
her; even strangers admired her. She
was still young-but why had her
friends deserted her? 1T is the usual
story. She had lost her health; her
complexion had faded; as result her
disposition was soured. How could she
attract or hold friends? Impossible
a year later.
She is the same woman, but how
changed Hosts of friends surround
her; her eyes are sparkling. her cheeks
aglow; her complexion is superb-she
is happy.
Do you wonder what made the
change? Read, then. the experience Of
Mrs. Bella Hoffa of McEwensville, Pa:
Some six years ago.. she said, I
was troubled severely with disease of
the kidneys, and 1 will never be able
to tell how much suffered. l tried all
kinds of remedies, but could find no
permanent relief. Finally I allowed
myself to be persuaded by Mrs. Simon
Cameron to try Warmers Safe Cure,
with the assurance that it would re-
lieve me. She had suffered in the same
way for many years, and had found
great help by its use. I am happy to
say that Safe Cure benefited me from
the time l began using it. l was en-
tirely free from all my pains, and have
been in perfect health ever since. L
cannot say too much for Warmers Safe
Cure, as l believe it gave me the per-
feet health I now enjoy"

A special from Sidney. Neb., says:
A rich strike Of gold has been made
at Bayard. 80 miles northwest of Sid

Black Hills excitement has caused so
much activity in Sidney.

SCHOOLS MUST CLOSE.
Several Davis County Districts Are
Short of Funds.

Kaysville. March 13.-County Super
intendent y. T. Porter spent last week
visiting the district schools in the north
end of Davis county. and on his return
Friday evening he reported that the
educational interests in the section he
visited are in fairly good condition in
all ways except financially, but in that
particular a grave condition confronts
the people. The revenue derived from
the state and county school funds is
in many instances so meagre that it is
found impossible TO run schools during
the whole year.
Superintendent Porter believes that
in some districts schools viii have TO
close almost Immediately, unless the
citizens take the matter up and vOlun-
tarily contribute to their support, and
this in face of the fact that the strict
est economy is practiced and but small
salaries are paid to teachers. The
schools of South Weber will probably
close within the next two weeks and
other districts in the north will follow
shortly thereafter. 1t is doubtful if any
school district in Davis county north
of Kaysville has funds sufficient TO run
until the close of the season.
The larger districts are in better
financial condition, and the schools of
Kaysville. Pennington and Bountiful
may be able TO continue to the end of
the term.

THE DEMAND FOR COPPER.
Supply In Sight Could Be Exhausted
In Sixty DAVIS.

With lake copper quoted at SO and
casting at $10.75, there should be in
creased activity in mining circles in
an effort to increase the supply. which
could easily be accomplished by the
development of the copper properties
so numerous in different portions of
the state.
The Denver Republican, in comment
ing on the increased demand for cop
per. saws:
Copper is in greater demand today"
said l.. \. Trimble of New York at the
Miners bureau yesterday, than il has
ever been. There is not in the country
so days supply of all kinds of cop
per. and of that particular quality
used for electrical engineering 1 do
not think there is a 80 days supply.
Copper cannot be bought today for 90
days delivery for less than 1215 cents
a pound. and as the demand is con-
stantiy increasing the price viii I'M
doubtedly go still higher.
The great danger to the copper in
dustry from this condition of affairs is
that the price will go so high before
new sources of supply are discovered
and opened up that a substitute viii
be discovered. in which event the
vested interests in copper mines and
manufacturing enterprises will be in
danger of serious loss. AS a result
there is a feverish anxiety on the part
of all who are interested in copper in
any form to find new copper deposits.
Phelps, Dodge e Co, who practically
control the copper trade of the country,
have an agent in the field all the time
looking up alleged copper finds, with a
view to the opening of the properties
in case they are promising. The re-
ports received from Colorado are eX-
tremely flottering, and if the dis
coveries in Paradox valley, in the La
Sal mountains and in Unaweep can
yon are half what has been reported,
they will be the scenes of wonderful
activity during the coming season.
I am in the brokerage business for
copper and electrical supplies and my
errand to Denver at this time is to in
vestigate the reports of the discoveries
that are said TO have been made here
during the past year. If they turn out
to be true I have a number of friends
who propose TO invest quite largely
and make an earnest effort TO put the
mines they may secure into productive
condition at once.
There is nothing in the way of bust
ness that promises mere constant and
profitable returns. a mine with a vein
of copper ore yielding from 10 to so per
cent copper in sufficient quantities is
much better than a gold mine, as
believe such ore viii bring in the open
market not less than 10 cents a pound
fer the copper contained in a very
short time, and any man who has n
vein Of this kind of ore will not have
to look far fer g customer if he de-
sir>as 10 sell -

At THE TABERNACLE.
THE CLOSING SESSION OF THE
STAKE CONFERENCE.
Reports From the Wards-The Stake
Officials Observation-Disclosures By
Elders Grant and Penrose.

The closing services of the Salt Lake
stake quarterly conference were held
Yesterday at the tabernacle. The at
tendance at both meetings was lighter
than is usual on such occasions, on &C
count of the Indictment state of the
weather.
Services at the morning meeting We're
occupied in receiving reports from the
bishops of the ecclesiastical wards of
the stake.
In the afternoon. the names of officials
Of the stake We're presented and in each
case were unanimously sustained.
Apostle Heber J. Grant preached the
first sermon. He expressed his graft
tude in being preserved during his late
Illness. by the blessings of God and
the prayers Of the saints. He had
been asked, when he testified that he
knew the gospel was true. why some
people who had been equally positive
apostatiZed afterwards. Apostle Grant
explained that such apostacy was al
ways due to transgression, and claimed
that no man would fall in darkness if
he performed his duties and kept the
commandments of God
The closing address was made by Ell
der C. w. Penrose. He dwelt upon the
.c-ossity for a new revelation in the
last l Us. The Bible, he said. was in
adequate in itself, as it had never sue
ceeded IN uniting Christianity, on ac-
count of the divergent interpretations
placed placed upon it. The Bible could
not confer authority for men to act in
Gods name. and, consequently, a re-
storation was needed. Elder Penrose
contended there was ne justification for
the belief that the Bible was to be the
last revelation of God to man.

1t is stated By men who ought To

The Record learns that the reported
strike in the Cumberland last week
was not made in the bottom of the
shaft and that no ore has been en-
countered there. In a drift on the
ledge near the surface, however. Mr.
Lawrence has encountered a nice
streak of pay ore that he is now fol-
