Another three million dollar deal is all

Reports from Pinar del Rio say that the

have broken away from the inSurgent

not of a serious nature, but the ranks of

and the raids are becoming more daring.
Unless the Americans soon announce
some policy in regard to assisting in pay

pleasanter to rob plantations than remain

THEY HAVE THE
WRONG MAN
MARTIN RYAN'S FRIENDS CLAIM
THAT HE is INNOCENT.

The arrest of Martin Ryan a t Pocatello
on suspicion of being the man who killed
Policeman Scanlan there on April 5, 1896,
has aroused the ire of Ryan's friends re-
siding in Butte.
Two of them this morning made the
statement that Ryan was never west OF
the Mississippi river until August 1898,
during which month he arrived in Butte
from Scranton. Pa. The men claimed
that Ryan worked steadily for many
years in one of the coal mines at Scran-
ton, and they at once sent letters back to
the mine boss stating Ryans predica-
ment and asking that the superintendent
write to Sheriff Ellis at Pocatello, con-
firming their sta Elements.
A few days ago Ryan received $75 from
his brother, who is working in the coal
mines in the Indian Territory, and was
on his way to join him when he was ar
rested. One of the POcatcl trainmen
claims to have recognized Ryan as the
man who stabbed Seaman. but Ryan's
friends say that he will be able to estab-
lish an alibi.

THE COPPER MARKEC.

Engineering and Mining Journal: The
market has been extremely excited, with
prices moving upward day by day, the
closing figures being 14k0I14Ac. for Lake;
1890. for electrolytic copper in cakes,
wilebars or ingots: 131ac. for cathodes,
and 13l2c for casting copper. Manufac-
turers, encouraged by the satisfactory
manner in which orders are being placed
with them, have been buying quite freely
Consumption appears to be at it's best,
and the prospects of it's continuing so are
meeting the demand very freely-not that
they consider present prices unremunera- =
tive or unsatisfactory, but, as we have
repeatedly emphasized, they have already
sold almost all of their product until the
end of March, and in some cases even be-
yond that.
The foreign market, which closed last
week at G5S lbs. for spot, and G59 for
three months prompt, has since then ad-
vanced steadily to $50 lbs. for spot, and
E61 rs. Cd for three months, but closes
slightly lower at $50 12s Cd for spot and
f61 for three months prompt. Very large
business has been done for export and we

THE MOTION SUSTAINED,
ANOTHER DELAY IN THE SAFETY
DOOR NINE CAGE SUIT.

The motion to quash the information
charging the Anaconda Mining company
with a violation of the law requiring safe
ty doors on mine cages, was argued be-
fore Justice Harrington this afternoon
and the motion to quash was sustained.
Some weeks ago Mine Inspector Byrne
complained to the county attorney that
the Anaconda company was ignoring the
law passed at the last session of the leglS-
lature requiring doors on mine cages. A
warrant was issued for the arrest of
James Keegan, superintendent of the
Mountain Con, one of the Anaconda
properties. This was followed by the mo-
ton to Quash on the ground that Mr.
keegan was merely an employe of the
company, when the law required that the
| summons be served on the managing
agent or other officer of a company.
County Attorney Connolly represented
the county and j. X. Mcdonald appeared
for the defendant corporation today.
After the decision of the court, leave was
granted the county attorney to amend
the complaint by intcrlineation. The
county attorney moved for an alias sum-
mons on w. H Dudley as secretary of the
company and this was granted. The case
was then continued until January % at

Possibilities of a 17-Cent Cop-
per Market.
THE PRODUCTION is ACTIVE
But the United States Will Not
Be Able to Supply the
Demand.
,tt.

With a 17-cent copper market in sight
for 1899, the miners, mine owners and
business men of Butte have no reason to
feel detected or apprehensive of the out
look for the coming year
IT is predicted that the copper output
of the United States will not be adequate
to the demand in the near future. Enor-
nous quantities of ore are being extract
ed2sfrom all the copper mines, and large
sums of money are being expended in
developing new properties, but no new
copper districts of any promise have
been opened up during the past year.
Thomas A. Edison, the great inventor,
regards copper as the great industry of
the future. His prophetic eye has pene-
trated the mysteries of the future and
has detected the great mission of this
valuable metal. He believes that there
is brighter outlook for copper than any
other industry in this country and that
the European demand would be enor-
nous as soon as the large cities and
towns began to adopt electric lighting
and heating In his opinion, it will only
be a short time until all the great trunk
lines will adopt electric motive power.
The development of all the copper pro-
ducers of Butte is proceeding with re-
neWed vigor since the recent rapid ad-
vance in the price of the metal.

George H. Wheelock, a United States
special revenue agent holding a comm,s
sion direct from the treasury department
at Washington, and Richard smith OF
Omaha, also revenue collector, left last
night for Salt Lake in the interest of their
business. Both arrived in Butte about
two weeks ago and while in the city created

sary article with a revenue stamp, chew

take out a government license. They
claimed that the wine contained from 40
to 60 per cent alcohol and was therefore
taxable under the revenue laws. They
next invaded the realms of all brokers
and compelled each one to take out a cons
mercial brokers' license in addition to the
regular stock brokers license.
The gentlemen next paid their respects
to the grocery and boarding houses

each of them to take out license Some

ed paying the license by pretending to act
simply as the agent for the real consumer,

die men could no longer be tolerated they
cheerfully agreed to the proposition to be-
come licensed handler of the slippery
article. Several claims for back taxes
were compromised.
After finishing up their business in Salt
Lake the gentlemen will proceed to Den
yer and thence to Omaha. This is not the
territory of either, but as both are good
men in their business they were taken
from their regular route and sent here by
