There are Indications lhdt copper
mining in Orange county il to be re-
sumcd with something more than bluti
and wind behind it. Some mines now
being operated, like the Elizabeth, at
Straford. are yielding good returns
and recent transfers Of mining proper
ty in Corinth have much meaning
There is also hope that the tangled
skein at Copperfield will sometime be
unravelled in a way that will open
that great property. Vermont's min
eral wealth gives much promise for the
near future. Barre is growing faster
than ever before on her substantial
foundation and Barre granite Is the
standard of excellence. There is now
a bic boom in sight for Groton, whose
granite has attracted the attention OF
capitalists who are about to begin OPP
erations there on an extensive scale.
Hardwick, too. is fast becoming fam
Gus because OF her granite and is EN-
crying from a sleepy village into a
second Barre. The growth of the
marble and slate business on the west
side is steady, and at times rapid,
Most of our manufacturing concerns
are now running on full time and un-
der full capacity and several new mill'
are being erected at various points II

the whole than for several years, also.

Representatives Of all the leading ma

sembles in response to an invitation
from the czar of Russia to consider
plans for reducing, or at least, not in
creasing, the military and naval arms
of the respective nations. The ex'
pense of maintaining the immense
armies and navies of modern times is
so great a drain on the treasures and
on the taxpaying people that a halt

"go broke" The idea is to get all the
nations to agree not to increase theil
present ornaments. There may be-
some recommendations as to interna.
tional arbitration, also. Everyone
wishes the congress well, but there il
a general belief that nations are toe
suspicious of each other still to go into
partnership in this way. Some ever
question the ears motives, assuming
that he is trying to play a shrewd tricl
to hoodwink the other powers, for hi
own purposes, but it seems as if HI
would hardly descend to this. Tn
probability is that Russia is the wors

A number of mining claims have peen

This section is coming to the front III
the mining line, some rich claims haV-
ing been discovered.
Mr.. Rice. who has several locations
on klamath River, near American Bar
has struck it rich in a new ledge two
feet in width. 1t is a free milling ore,
and the gold can be seen with the
naked eye.
The Cripple Creek men who own tne
O. and c. mine on klamath River Will
start up their five-stamp mill next
week. The property gives excellent
prospects of proving very rich.
The Jilson mine at Hornbrook is run
ming full blast, and is paying regular
dividends. This is one OF the best prop
critics in the Hornbrook district.
w. Shattuck, who has a Tine ledge
near DR.. Dwinnell's property in the
Gazelle district, will commence devei-
opment work ON it next week.

A WOMAN SHOT AT.
William Sperry is in Jail on Suspi-
cicn of Being the Shooter,

About 7:3O o'clock last night two
shots were fired on L street, -etween
Third and Fourth, and William Sperry
is in Jail, charged with doing the shoot
ing.
officer Bagley arrived a few moments
after the fusillade, and was Informed
by persons who claimed to have been
eye witnesses, that Sperry fired the
shots at Anita Sequard, a woman OF
the street, with whom the police say
he is living.
The woman. the officer was told, came
out of her place, No. ZIG, and Sperry'
who was standing on the sidewalk freu
the shots at her. She ran into the
house adjoining, which is occupied by
another woman of the same class.
Bagley arrested Sperry at Donovans s
saloon at Fourth and L streets, where
he has been employed as ''swamper
He had no revolver on him when ar
rested, but the officer feels certain that
he passed the gun to the bartender,
and that the latter concealed it.
After his arrest Sperry said that
friend of his. with whom he was stand
ing, fired the shots. The woman, when
questioned by Sergeant Dolan and Off :
Ger NJ A. Fisher, also denied that Sper-
ry shot at her.
About a year ago Sperry was trlei
before the late City Justice, G. G. Davis,
on two charges, one of brutally beating
and kicking a woman named Peari
Minot, and the other of vagrancy. He
was convicted on both counts, and sen
fenced to serve six months for each
offense. 1t happened that the commit
ment did not specify that one sentence
was to begin to run after ---e expira-
ton OF the other, and on habeas corpus
proceedings being instituted an order
was made to release Sperry at the ex-
piration of six months.
Before the term expired, however
Sperry attempted to escape from the
County Jail, but was detected. He was
subsequently sentenced to serve sixty
days for destroying fixtures in the
County Jail, and has been at liberty
only about three or four months.
If evidence sufficient to convict on
more serious charge cannot be obtained,
Acting Chief of Police Ash proposes to
place a vagrancy charge against Sper-
~. who he thinks is a good man to get
rid of

sUNDAY-sCHOOL INTERESTS.
County Superintendent to Hold al
Important Meeting Tonight.

Tonight the Sunday school Superin-
tendents of Sacramento will assemble
for social and business meeting at
o'clock at the w. C. T. U. rooms, TO
street.
The object of the meeting is to dis
cuss matters in connection with their
work as Superintendents, and to or
ganize a Superintendents Association.
Several prominent Superintendents
have consented to make brief talks on
matters that pertain to the everyday
work of the Sunday school. Among the
subjects are:
How to Dispose of Review Sunday"
Should the Lesson be briefly sum-
married. at the close of the school2'
How can we get the older pupils to
study their lessons before they come
to Sunday SCHOOL,"
Should the primary department be
wholly, partly or not at all separated
from the main school?"
How can we get the pupils to bring
their Bibles?"
"Is the Sunday-school sentiment in
creasing or decreasing?"
The subjects are to be discussed by
William Ingram, w. G. Mcmillan, r. L.
Hall and Mrs. w. c. Sherman.
The county officers of the Sunday
school Association. and the General
Secretary of the State Association, Earl
S. Bingham of San Jose, will take part
in the evenings entertainment. Light
refreshments will be served TO the
guests.
All Superintendent, Superintendents
of Home, primary and other depart
ments of the Sunday-school, Assistant
Superintendents and ex-Superintefld-
ents are invited and will unite with the
association.
This will be the second association
organized in California, and it will i.e
formed under the direction of the coun-
ty association, of which Rev. Henry
Shade is President. Such associations
are Of great value to the workers, and
others will be soon formed in the larg-
er cities of the State.

treatment of the bill would make it per-

treatment of the bill would make it per-
fectly clear.
To answer the question of an intelli-
gent farmer, who says that the law
providing 2% steel or thimble-skeln
axles, requires 3-inch tires and 212
steel or iron axles require 6-inch tires.
BY inserting the word Iron" after the
word s'or'' in the first case, this matter
will become perfectly clear.
The entire difficulty appears to lie IN
advertently in the omission of the woro
iron some places, and the Woro
"steel" in other cases, so as to MAKE
the compound word ''thimble-skein' a
substantive throughout and the words
'steel or IRON adjectives, except where
they purposefully stand alone.
Where the 6-inch tire is required, II
evidently refers, as it says, to steel or
iron (Concord) axles, and not to tubular
or thimble-skein, though they are
classed in the same sentence with dl1-
ferent diameter, namely, 3A.
In another place the law reads rs
inch tubular or iron axles. Evidently
the word "steel' should appear between
the word tubular and 'or," so that
in some cases the word steel is omit
ted. in other cases it is iron.
In former interview on this subJec1

STILL UNSETTLED.
Upson and Nicolaus Tie for the
Pelican Trophy.

L. S. Upson, Bert Adams and E. A.
Nicolaus faced the traps at the Peli-
can Gun Clubs grounds yesterday to
finish their live-bird scores for the sea-
sons series of matches, which was ex-
pected to determine who would be the
holder of the seasons medal or trophy.
Upson had a percentage of 6S to his
credit, Adams 81, and Nicolaus 66
when they went to the score yesterday.
1t looked like a cinch for either Upson
or Adams, but they both fell down, the
former scoring but thirteen out of his
twenty birds, and Adams but twelve,
while Nicolaus pulled down seventeen
of his birds. Adams shot in partic-
ularly bad luck. six of his birds fall
ing dead just outside the flags, while
Nicolaus' seventeenth bird did the same.
The official scorer, Joe Hill, in figuring
out the seasons percentage, finds that
the ownership of the trophy is still un
settled-that Nicolaus percentage is
now tied with that of Upson. This
means another shoot-off Following is
yesterdays score:

1t is the opinion of many that the IN
consistencies in the law would not be-
fore a court be construed to its defeat;
that where it is so evident what the
lawmakers intended, the 1ntention
would be given effect though the failure
of the Legislature to clearly express
itself is patent on the face OF the law.
There is one section, however, tnat
is clearly unconstitutional, though the
elimination of that section would not
affect the law for other purposes. Sec
ton 3 provides that no one snail prlng
into the State or sell wagons with less
tire widths than those prescribed py
the law under misdemeanor penalty.
This would prevent dealer
in wagons making and keeping for sale
or importing wagons to be sold to peo-
ple of another State. For instance,
strict application Of such a provision
would prevent a Sacramento merchant
from selling narrow tire wagons TO a
customer in Oregon or Nevada, rlgnt
the dealer has, that clearly the state
