Who shall answer the question, and how shall 1t be answered? Will it be Joseph F.

The Penalty For His Libel On
Judge Speer.
APPEAL WAS DISMISSED
His Case Was One that Grew Out of
the Campaign of 1S96--Recess
of the Supreme Court
Special to the Inter Mountain.

~ NAS AiANNA
Helena, July 31.-The supreme court to-
day, upon motion of Attorney General
Nolan, dismissed the appeal in the case
of the State VS.. Nixon, from the district
court of Silver Bow. The dismissal was
asked because Nixon, the appellant, had
not perfected his appeal. Nixon was
convicted in the lower court of libel in
circulating vile posters around Butte
against w. o. Speer, candidate for dis
trict judge in the election of 1896. He is
understood to be out on bail and will
probably now have to stand punishment.
Upon motion Of Colonel O'Leary of An
aconda the court admitted Richard p.
O'Brien and Thomas Dooling to practice.
O'Brien was admitted upon a certificate
secured in Ireland and Dooling upon one
obtained in Michigan.

morrow for the summer vacation. But

than twice the price it sold at in May,
1898, so that while copper has advanced
in London since July, 1898. about 81 per
cent, tin during the same period has adj
vanced about 80 per cent. Whenever the
london sentiment changes in regard to
copper there is a good basis upon which

In the meantime the retrospect on this

THE COPPER MARKET.

A New York dispatch says: The
strength of the copper situation is best
seen by the steady disappearance of the
metal out of producers hands. Formerly
a great deal of the output from the mines
was allowed to accumulate at the smelt-
ing works, or distributed to various points
to await shipment on the contamination
of sales, and mining companies were
obliged to carry a considerable proper
ton of their product until able to work it
off on the market. Now, however, pro-
ducers have their output sold up while it
is yet in the mineral, or even, possibly, in
the rock before it has reached the stamp
mill, and it is a rush to bring it from
drifts and shafts, put it through the
stamping process, hurry it to the smelter,
load it on the cars, and send it by the
fastest and most direct route to the con-
sumner, who has 1t in the crucible with an
alacrity that is truly indigenous.
The remarkable fact about it all is
that representatives of every copper pro-
ducing district throughout the country
have the same story to tell of unprece-
denied demand for their product. The
copper companies of the Lake Superior
district, Montana and Arizona, the three
great centers Of production, are all doing
a driving business, inc with an 1872 cent
Lake market are actually in my cases
compelled to close their order books to
buyers for delivery short of from two to
three months ahead. The absence Of
speculation in the local market serves to
keen prices from taking a bound such as
is now going on in the tin market. Tin.
with a visible supply on July l of 2O.4S5
tons. has advanced from 20h cents a
pound in January last to about 20 cents.
or upwards. at the present time. And yet
with the European visible of copper on
July Is, 2S.5SO tons. the market price of
tin is 1O1a cents per pound higher than
that for copper, whereas the total deliv-
cries of tin throughout Europe and the
United states in 1898 We're only 1906 tons,
against deliveries of copper in Europe
alone of 235, 600 tons last year.
With a copper consumption IN the
United States estimated at Il, 200 tons per
month. against a tin consumption of
nearly 5000 tons per month for this
country, the merits of the two metals
are seen in comparison. Today tin in
London is bringing about s277 a ton more
than copper, with sales far in excess of
the transactions recorded in copper at the
London center; and yet Englishmen think
copper high, but "bOom' tin beyond the
record mark in a period of more than ten
years.
The question might be asked is the for
eign discrimination in favor Of tin and
against copper based on sound premises?
The London operators have pushed up
the price of tin EST a ton higher than the
market for standard copper. or more

FEDERAL INDUSTRIAL COMMIT.
THE COMPLETES IT'S

L.. Kennedy and Congressman Bell ar
rived in the city this morning, the two
latter. however, continuing their journey
to Salt Lake. Mr.. NJ. D. Ratchford. the
other member of the subcommittee, went
east over the Northern Pacific from Gar
rison.
1.-The subcommittee had nothing to do
in Montana, SO the member did not stop
here" said Mr.. Mantle. There were no
complaints from this state, and no diff
f~iculties of any kind, so the. commission
decided that it would be mourning un-
necessary expense to stop here.
The committee gave a very full and
complete hearing to the miners and mine
owners of Wardner, obtaining a full
statement from all without my bias or
prejudice. There is no doubt but that
many innocent men were thrown into the
bull-pen when the arrests were made by
the wholesale at the beginning of the
trouble. and while there were many COM
plants of severe treatment a month or so
ago there are no complaints now.
Undoubtedly the methods adopted by
Bartlett Sinclair We're drastic. Mr.. Sin
clair was before the committee for the
greater part of a day, and he went into
the whole history Of the affair. He wished
it distinctly understood that the state at
all times had control of affairs there, and
that the military only aided the state.
The arrests, he said, were all made by
the state officers, aided, of course, by the
military. The state, he said, selected the
persons to be arrested"

READS LIKE ROMANCE,

The Charleston steamer came to it's
dock and tied up. The passengers loitered
her, attending to their bags and
baggage, but the gangplank was hardly
down when a bruised. begrimed, ragged
boy of 16 or II rushed on to the dock and.
pushing his way through the crowd, lost
himself in New York.
Nobody pursued him.
1t was 80 years ago that Tom Upton
came up gasping from the fire room of
the Charleston boat and ran into New
York. He had known more kicks than
sixpence from his childhood up. and the
treatment he got as a stowaway did not
break his spirit. 1t was just an expert

his age, but there was that within him
