THE BIG MINING CASE.
TRIAL OF ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
ROT SUIT BEGUN TODAY.

The trial of the suit of the Anaconda
Copper Mining company VS.. the Colusa-
Parrot Copper Mining company began at
z O'Clock this afternoon before r. L. Gin
ton, who was appointed some time ago
as special master in chancery to take
testimony in the case. There is a large
array of legal talent engaged in the case,
the attorneys for the Anaconda compris-
ing Messrs. Dixon & Scallon Of this city
and Ex-Governor Thomas, Bryant & Lee
OF Denver. The counsel for the Colusa-
Parrot includes Welcome & Roote Of
Butte, Clayberg & Corbett of Butte and
Helena, and Charles ]. Hughes of Den
YER, Among the experts who will testify
at the hearing are Louis Janin and CLAIR
ence King of San Francisco.
The suit promises to be long drawn
out. The Anaconda company will have
~ Gays for the presentation Of testimony
ana nve days more for giving notices.
etc, and 20 days for rebuttal. The ques-
tlon involved is the ownership of the
great Never Sweat vein. The Colusa-
fafrot and Never Sweat We're located on
what appeared to be two separate veins.
put later development showed that the
Two veins came together and formed a
single vein. The Colusa-Parrot is the
oluer location and its owners claim that
the first locator has the prior right to the
entlre united vein. h contention Of
the Anaconda company is that the apex
or the vein is on Never Sweat ground
and that the two veins are separate and
distinct.
John G. Hanley was the first witness
sworn. He testified that he resided in
C~enterville n was a foreman of the
Never Sweat; had been in the employ Of
the Anaconda company Is years; knew
the whereabouts of the east end of the
Parrot; in November, 1898. had

OUTLOOK FOR

Messrs. Watson & Gibson's market let
ter contains the following in a review of
the future of Mexico and the proposed
refunding by J.. p. Morgan and others of
that countgy's debt:
The search fer silver has practically
ceased, and the production of it now
comes chiefly from the mining for gold
and for the baser metals, such as copper
and lead. AS the old silver mines are ex-
hausted, they will not be succeeded by
other purely silver mines. A rise in the
price of silver would lead to the exp!oita-
tion of silver mines in Mexico, which is
essentially a silver mining re9ion.
Among the reasons for e~xpe3tflg an ap-
probation in the price of silver, aside
from the diminished incentive to open
new mines, we may mention as one of the
principal reasons Inc new need for silver
which is sure to follow the present very
pronounced movement to open up China
10 commerce. and civilization. It was
Leon say, the French political economist,
s".ho wittily said that 1.-The white races
use yellow money while the yellow races
use white money" In introducing rail-
ways, telegraph, machinery and modern
science as applied to industry in China,
there will be an increasing demand Tor

silver money. Then, too, there is strong
reason to believe that the indian mints
will again be opened to the free coinage
of silver, as. since their closing six years
g Indian finance has gone from bad to
worse, being utterly deranged by the SUBJ
stitution of what Lord Alderman calls
IAN autocratic standard for an automatic
one." The Indian currency committee
Is now taking testimony in England, and
some measure of relief from the oppres-
sion in business n banking in India will
probably be proposed and nothing short
of an increased coinage of silver in some
way, Will relieve the monetary stringency
III that country. Then, too, there is the
necessity for an increase in the subsidiary
coinage Of France, Belgium, Italy and
Switzerland. in which latter country, ac-
cording to French authorities, small sill
yer DIN have almost wholly disap-
peared. Again, in this era of prosperity
IN the United States, we shall use more
silver in the arts than ever before.

THE COPPER MARKET.

Holders OF copper now ask 181ac for
lake. No business is reported at that
price, but sellers are not anxious, as they
realize the strong position of the market.
The mining companies refuse to dupli-
Gates sales of a few days ago and some
OF the producers Won't lake any further
orders. Europe has been taking more
copper recently and it is thought when
they are ready to come in the market for
big quantities they may be disappointed
In finding the supply so light. Sales have
been made up to the end of the year, and
1t Is surprising to see domestic consum-
ers show u confidence in the market
by buying up to December at stiff figures.
There are indications that copper will
have a tremendous market for a long
time to come, and those who are building
on a speedy termination to the present
range of prices are liable to be sadly dis
appointed.

EXTRA DIVIDENDS.

Boston News Bureau: Extra dividends
are not only predicted for Anaconda, but
also for Amalgamated.
The Amalgamated company is expected
to pay quarterly dividends of 2 per cent
beginning this fall. 1t is also said that
during the present high price for copper
extra dividends will be paid and the stock
advanced to a handsome premium.
There canno be much of a rise in
Amalgamated until after Anaconda has
advanced to $50 pei share, as Anaconda is
it's main asset, and dividends will come
from this and shares of other mining and
smelling companies held in the Amalga-
mated treasury.
The best opinion that can be had at
the present time is that Anaconda goes
into the A~malgamated on the
basis of three shares of Amalgamated for
five of Anaconda. This is $50 per share,
put allowing So per share underwriting
on Amalgamated, Anaconda stands at
about IS, against 100 for Amalgamated.
We are. however, assured by competent
interests that it has not yet been deter
mined at VIA price Anaconda will be
put into Amalgamated, n that This is
one reason for delay in the application
Tor listing.
Before listing Amalgamated must show
it's assets M liabilities, and the large
owners. who are Standard Oil people, are
of course DESTROYS Of making as good an
exhibit as possible.
If they mark the price of Anaconda we'll
down near the cost to themselves, there
will be a basis for an advance, but if
Anaconda tands at $65 per share, or 40
per cent more than the cost price of the
majority interests, it will be difficult to
make the public take Amalgamated at
any premium.
We understand that recent events have
sobered the Standard Oil copper interests,
and that there is now more brain and
less vocal matter in "coppers,"
