Jury Would Not Convict Him of Illegally
Selling Antelope Meat.
h,'Sandy, "'the Cree Indian, tried be-
fore jury in Justice Fraser's court
Tuesday afternoon OH charge OF SELL
ing deer and antelope meat, was given
his liberty, the jury standing four to
two for acquittal. Game Warden Col
Inns, who arrested three Cree Indians
two weeks ago for illegally slaughter
ing game, testified that he had given
the money to the man with which the
meat was purchased. After hearing
the evidence and retiring for few
minutes. the jury returned with the
verdict as stated above.
Considerable oensure is heard OF the
verdict. The law makes it a misde-
meanor to slaughter game and also to
sell it, and since this county has gone
to the expense Of maintaining a game
warden, it will be necessary for that
official to have the corporation Of all
citizens if the law is upheld, or his
Office might as we'll be abolished. All
the complaints Of slaughtering game
are caused by the Cree Indians and un-
less an example ia made the practice
will continue until the game 10 exter-
minated.
The other two Indians. "DaKid"
and "Richman, will have their hear

At meeting of the county commits

THE SMITH INQUEST.

Coroner Phil Julien held IN inquest on
the remains of job F. Smith. the blind
man who was found dead in his bed at
the home Of his sister, Mrs. Martha Hood,
at 544 West Broadway, Wednesday morn
ing. At first it was thought that an in
quest was not necessary, but as death
came so unexpectedly that a physician
was not in attendance, and a death GER
tificate was therefore not forthcoming,
the coroner concluded to make an official
investigation.
The testimony was practically the same
as the story of the finding of the body
as published by the Inter Mountain on
Wednesday evening, and the jury re-
turned a verdict to the effect that the
deceased had come to his death from an
attack of heart failure.

FUTURE OF COPPER.

The Boston News Bureau says: In
view Of the small stocks in the visible
supply and the continued strength of the
metal at 1S1ac, the failure of some of the
better class Of copper stocks to respond
is surprising.
The producing companies are making
handsome profits at current selling prices
for the metal. By reason of contracts
taken for future delivery, it is doubtful
if the majority Of the producing COM
panies received on an average much over
15@16c for their product during the first
six months of this year. A Ice selling
price, however, means for most of the
companies 100 per cent profit and more
over cost of production. The selling price
for the latter half of the year should av-
erage between tic and 1sc, making say
a tic price for the year.
There is talk that at the present SELL
ing price for it's "copper", say 17Hc, Mon
tana can pay its shareholders $40 per
share per annum and carry 81 ,000,O0O to
it's surplus account, now above S., 900, 900.

MR.. MURRAY OF MONTANA.

Hon. James A. Murray, who has for
many years been one of the boldest figur-
ers in the diggings of Montana. is down
from Butte again devoting his energies to
a deal involving one of the good things
that Utah has on its bargain counter,
n ar occasional dip in the lake, says
the Salt Lake Tribune. Concerning Mon
tana h visitor says that at no time
since the development of it's mines was
begun has there been as much ore ex-
posed, while the market for copper, which
he last spring predicted would go to 20
cents a pound, has added many hundreds
of thousands of dollars to the earnings of
the commonwealth. The dividend-payers
are all in fine feather. stocks themselves
have maintained a steady figure, not a
few prospectors have found a market for
their discoveries, and labor is thriving.
In many of the gold camps old PROPOSE
tons have been aroused to new life, new
ones have found means with which to
start and an increase will doubtless show
in that metal during the year. Mr.. Muir
ray has a large circle of acquaintance
here, who hope to see him get a ,perma-
nent foothold in Utah. -

MIR. CLARK VISITING 0PHIR.

Salt Lake Tribune: Hon. w. A. Clark.
Win last season shelled out $75,0 900 spot
cash for the properties of the Ophir Hill
Mining company at Ophir, arrived from
Butte last night, accompanied by E. w
Clark, his engineer. He will leave for his
Ophir possessions tomorrow, where he
will begin a thorough examination of it,
and before leaving for the north again
will have arranged for further work.
This will be, in all probability, followed
by work on the proposed pyritic smelter,
although definite arrangements for this
have not yet been made. The Ophir
group furnishes a splendid foundation for
such an undertaking. and although the
grade of ore is low it has been made to
yield nice profits by concentration. With

THE SILVER KING.

The Silver King mine, in M%issoula
gulch, which has been operated during
the past few months by Wakeman Sutton
and James A. Talbot, suspended opera
tons last night, owing to an injunction
suit which was filed in the district court
yesterday by the owners of the Plymouth
lode claim. The latter contend that the
Silver King vein departs from the side
line of the latter claim into the Plymouth
claim. Surveyors have been at work for
some time in the Silver King to deter
mine the question, and the suit is the re-
suit.
The Silver King is owned by James A.
Murray and Silas F. King. William Wal
Ter obtained a lease on it a couple of
years ago, and after striking rich silver
ore lost his life in the shaft. His part
ner, Milo H. Sanders, continued work
for some months thereafter and cleaned
up about SIS, 900. The ore body pinched
out and sanders sold out to Sutton and
James A. Talbot. There is said to be a
splendid body of high grade silver ore
where they left off work, and a crew of
leasers will start work in a few days on
the Plymouth to locate the vein by a
crosscut from the old shaft.

GREAT TREAT IORTHE CHILDREN

Professor Gentry's school OF perform
ing dogs and ponies, who are to exhibit
under a tent in this city, on South jack
son street, near West Galena, o days,
starting Monday, July 81, afternoon and
evening, will be a great treat for the lit
tie folks. The exhibition. while it is es-
pecially attractive to the children, is
equally enjoyed by the older people, the
acts being so arranged that while the
older ones realize the enormous amount
of time, labor and patience that it must
have required to educate the animals to
that degree Of intelligence. the younger
ones enjoy the general result. The show
is decidedly the best of its kind in the
world, and never fails to give the best of
satisfaction. The entertainment is strict
ly moral and enjoys the distinction OF
being the only show travelling under can
vas that interferes in no way with any
belief, creed or religion, and is endorsed
by the clergy and school superintendent
wherever 1t exhibits. The prices of ad-
mission are: Children, 25 cents; adults,
IS cents.

the consideration, however, not being
given. The interests acquired were owned
by Con Sullivan and Henry Nichols. The
other one-third interest is held by the
Glass brothers of Basin.
Yesterday the Heinzes placed a watch
man at the mine and began making pre-
parations to begin work. There is an
enormous quantity of water to be pumped
out, and arrangements being made to
unwater the mine before beginning sink

terday noon, during the temporary alb
sence of the Waterman, a umbe OF
men in their employ proceeded to the
mine, effected an entrance to the hoist
through a hole in the roof and began
work. When Heinze's Waterman re-
turned he was ordered off the premises,
and the Glass brothers now lave possess
sion of the hoist, although a number of
Heinze's men are digging around the
shaft house.
James Glass, one of the Glass brothers,
said today that he and his brother had
! spent $50, 900 some two years ago in devel-
oping the Homestake, n they did not
| propose to turn it over to others at this
time, until some satisfactory arrange
/ ments could be made. There are large
bodies of copper ore in the Homestake,
but the ore is too low grade to ship at a
profit to a smelter or concentration. The
shaft is $50 feet in depth, and it is be-
lieved that with additional depth some
good bodies of high grade copper will be
