DRAWING FROM MAGURE
J. AUBREY JONES MAY MAKE A
 FIGHT FOR CONGRESS.
Ward Clubs Being Organized by the Friends of the Men Who Want the Nomination for
 Governor.
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,

sos Broadway, June 24
 During the past few weeks the Demo- crats have been doing some quiet work NO clubs have yet been organized. with the exception of one Mcguire club, but the leaders of the party in this county are quietly feeling around to test the strength of candidates for Governor.
 It IS pretty well understood that that branch of the Alameda Democracy which IS prominently identified with Prison Di- rector Fitzgerald is favorable to M3- guire, but the little Congressman has a very powerful competitor in this county and possibly in Contra Costa County. in Warren B. English Since it was dis covered that MT. English was quietly making canvass in many parts of the State, with a view to securing the noni- nation for Governor, there has been a marked increase in his local strength
 The fusion proposition in this county may be said to be still in abeyance, all though there has been much opposition from both Populists and Democrats to- ward repeating the failure of 1896. The question, however, is not decided, all though many of the PopuliSt ward and township clubs have reported to their County Committee that they are opposed to anything but a straight middle-of-the- road policy. Six months ago there was a movement started to organize Mcguire clubs all over this county, but it did not meet Wllu SeHSIdl dppIONdl run lHe Democrats, and since Warren English took an active part in trying to secure the nomination himself. much of the strength of the Congressman from the Fourth District has been diverted to the local candidate.
 The Democrats have not as yet done anything toward naming candidates for the Legislature, admitting on all hands that this is such a strong Republican year that to be nominated in this county on the Democratic ticket is to court cer- tain defeat.
 pr. Pardee carried his campaign into Alameda last night and held a gathering at Linderman Hall Pardee spoke, and in his speech paid high compliment to his opponent, w R. Davis, pledging him. self to support MT. Davis should he ob- tain a majority of the delegations.
 Friends of W. R. Davis organized a Davis Club in the Third Ward last night w. M. Dimick was elected chairman and George F. Neece vice-president. An exc cutive committee will be named next week.
 It is rumored that John Aubrey Jones may, in the event of a combination of tree silver men of all parties, be a can didate for Congress.

 The Oakland military camp will be To- cated on the Sather tract. This was de- cided this evening by Lieutenant Colonel Darlington and Quartermaster Heller, after consulting the owners and the man. agement of the Haywards electric road.
 The new camp site is situated between Fruityale avenue and High street, and consists of eighty acres, which is well severed and can be easily supplied with water.
 The plans Of Ira Bishop, which were laid with such nicety and so diplomati- cally carried out, have fallen through, and his rival, Andy Stone, has gathered in the big plum of the street car travel for his company.
 The officers named by Governor Budd to decide upon camp site in this city were over here this afternoon and were met by a citizens committee, who es- corted them to a special car of the Hay wards railroad in charge of Secretary spected at Fruitvale, and after lunch Lieutenant Colonel Darlington and Quar- termaster Heller were taken around Pied mont and shown the sites visited by Col onel Henshaw on Wednesday.

STANDARD OIL PEOPLE
 BUYING COPPER MINES
Powerful Combine to Work the Rich Lodes of Michigan and the
 Great Lakes.

HOUGHTON, Mich, June 2-The Standard Oil people have long monopo- lized petroleum. For the past five years they have been prominent in iron ore more prominent with each year. For the first time they have become identified with copper, the details being made pub lie to-day. For nearly two years Nathan F. Leopold, a well-known steamboat man in Chicago, has been engaged in tying up property in Lake Superior copper dis trict. So cleverly has his work been car ried on that. until to-day the full scope of his operations have been known to but half a dozen of his most intimate busi- ness associates.
 The cat was let out of the bag how cadian Copper Company was perfected to-day in Boston. The directors elected by the company were as follows: Albert c. Burrage of Boston, president of the Rockefeller, president of the Standard Oil Company; Nathan F.. Leopold of Chi cago, of the marine firm of Leopold & Austrain; Henry H. Rogers of New York, vice-president of the Standard Oil Com pany; Henry G. Foreman of Chicago. president of the Ogden Street Railway Company; William A. Paine of Boston, of Paine. Webber & Co.,, brokerage firm which has been very prominent for sev- eral years past in big copper mining en- terprises; Sidney Chase of Boston, of Chase & Barston, treasurer of the Bos- ton Stock Exchange; and J. H. Rice of Houghton, cashier of the National Bank of Houghton. Albert c. Burrage of Bos- ton was elected president, Nathan F.. Leopold of Chicago general manager and Charles D. Burrage of Boston secretary and treasurer.
 The property of the Arcadian Copper Company comprises seventeen different mineral tracts for which nearly fifty different deeds were required. The prop critics so acquired comprise the old Ar cadian mine, the Edwards mine, the Con cord mine, the Douglass mine and various tracts from Sault Ste. Marie's Canal Com pany and other owners of mineral land, including a valuable mill site on Portage ized to-day comprises the magnificent to- tai of 2846 acres, and embraces within its limits the Huron, KearSarge, Isle Royale and other well known copper lodeS, in which half a dozen of the great mines of the district are opened.
 The Arcadian has two and half miles on the outcrop of the lode, and has an es- ing, at an angle of 55 degrees, which is the pitch of the vein as opened. Actual mining work has been under way at the Arcadian and adjoining mines owned by the new company for the past year, and 200 men are now employed in developing the mines, which force will be doubled as soon as the necessary accommodations can be secured for the men.
 Treading on the heels of the sensation when two millions of Standard Oil cash were invested in a Houghton mine comes the sale of the Minnesota and adjacent mines In Ontonagon County, which have just been bought for s4,000,000 by Detroit capital. The Minnesota was. worked thir- ty years; paid millions in dividends and produced a single mass of pure native copper weighing 100000 pounds. Mining work is to be resumed immediately.
