NO BAIL FOR POOLEY.
Judge Clancy Held That Presumption
of Murder Was Strong.

Judge Clancy has refused to admit
Thomas Pooley to bail. and as a result
MI. Pooley will have to remain in the
county Jail until his trial takes place,
which will probably pe sometime in
July.
Pooley is charged with the murder Of
his daughter and her husband, Mr.. and
Mrs. Thomas Littlejohn, IN March Is.
The matter came up Saturday after
noon and was thoroughly aired in the
court over which Judge Clancy presides.
Attorney Thresher, one of the prison.
er's legal representatives, argued that
on the testimony of Stapieton and Johns,
upon whom the state relies for a convic
tion, nothing greater than a manslaugh-
ter degree could be obtained. He said
there was no doubt in the mind of any
one but what Mrs. Iittlejohn had been
killed by accident.
In rendering his decision the judge
said that Pooley had threatened Little
John. which was evidence of intent. 1T
showed that the presumption was great
and he would therefore deny the appll-
cation for bail.

THE COPPER SITUATION.

Under date of May 4, Morrison, Keke-
wich & Co. of London say: The metal
markets continue quiet. Copper has re-
coded f2. much to the establishment of
consumers, who were led to believe that
the object of the operations of the Anal
gamated Copper company was to keep
prices stead, but, on the contrary, no at
tempt has been made to support values,
and the market has been allowed to sag,
probably in connection with share oper-
atoms.
The visible supply is only GAG IONS in
excess Of the corresponding period of
last year, whereas the price is today
91 lis Cd lower. The April increase is
explained by the transfer of private
stocks to public warehouses. caused by

ANOTHER DAMAGE SUIT.
Second One Brought by Tom Riley for
Injury to His Child.

Thomas Riley has commenced a sec
n suit against the city of Butte and
Thomas Morrow, the ore hauling con-
tractor, in connection with an injury al
legged to have been sustained by his D.
year-old child. In the first suit he de-
manded SIS, 900; in this one $4,000. Mr..
Riley alleges that one day a few weeks
ago while his child was standing against
the fence of his property on Shields ave-
nue., one of Mr.. Morrow's teams came
along and swerved to one side far
enough to strike and injure her. Mr..
City gets into the scrape by reason of
the fact that it permitted the center of
the street to remain high enough to have
thrown the ore wagon into an adjoining
lot.

A New York dispatch Of May Is says:

A New York dispatch Of May Is
Although copper values have suffered
recessions lately n may go still lower,
nevertheless the market is far from be-
ing discouraging to producers. Ihe BACK
ward movement may not stop until 10
cents is reached, but even should the met
al fall to IA or IA it would continue to yield
magnificent profits. At IL cents there IS a
chance for handsome returns and nearly
100 per cent. profit to some Of the Dig
companies, although recent increases or
wages may bring up the cost of produc-
ton Of Calumet Hecla and Boston &
Montana to nearer Z cents than 6 cents.
But there are profits and dividends for
a goodly number of the companies at IL
cents and shareholders ought not to
throw their "coppers" away indiscrimln-
ately on a fall of half a cent in the price
of copper If it costs Boston & Montana

But who is so pessimistic as to believe
that copper is going to settle to anywhere
near II cents? The copper magnates may
have a little sparring match just to snow
! the power of the purse or to further some
net scheme; but after all they want their
mining properties operated for profits,
and consequently there is no danger That
any of them will "scuttle the snip. 1t IS

MONTANA'S COAL AND COKE OUT
PUT.

Director Fred S. Smith of the geologi-
cal survey of the University of Montana
has prepared comparative agufes relat-
ing to the production of coke and coal
by the various companies operating IN
the state of Montana during 1898 and
1899. The following figures show the
output and valuation of the coke prod
uct: Montana. Coal and Coke company,
Horn, 1898, 7,41S tons; 1899, 9,l25 tons.
Anaconda Copper Mining company, Belt,
1898, 9,20S tons; 1899, 10, 1862 0 tons. Butte
| & Yellowstone Coal and Coke company,
Horn, 1898, Z, AS tons; 1899, 9,125 tons.
Total, 1898, 1924 tons; 1899, 59,O72.2O tons.
Value, 1898, 1929, s24.69 1893, $4O1, 77s.72.
These figures show a decrease in the
production, which is due to the light out
| put of the Montana Coal and Coke COM
! pany at Horr. This company's plant
has a capacity of about 4'ooo tons per
| month, which was maintained through
out the whole of 1898. In 1899, however,
previous to the reorganization of the
company, the monthly output averaged
about $500 tons for the first six months.
| During the last half of the year it rose
to over 1900 tons per month.
In 1898 the total production of coal ag-
gregated 1,450, I'll tons, of a value of ST.
$50, $3.50. Last year the output of the varf-
Gus companies amounted to 1,419,S31
tons, of a value OF 81, 228,5 $50.
In the matter of coal used for coke, a
summary is given: Anaconda copper
Mining company, 49,936.30 tons, valued at
$50, 1872. Is. Montana Coal and Coke COM
pany, 104, $1,000 tons, valued at $27O, 052.O O.
Butte & Yellowstone company, $500 0
tons, valued at Sal. 7S5.
These values, 1864, 1863. IS, should be de-

The state of Massachusetts, has
holiday which, although it is but seven
years old. has attained great popular
success. 1t is called Patriots day, and
is celebrated on April 10Th, in com
memoration of the battles of Concord
and Lexington. In Massachusetts, this
holiday has special reason for it's ex-
istence, aside from the fact that Con-
cord and Lexington are within the
limits of the state. II takes the place
of the old Fast day, which fell by
custom on the first Thursday in April
The transformation of Fast day into
a day for baseball, fishing and merry
making was perversion of what was
intended to be "a day of humiliation.
fasting and prayer" The people were
not willing to give up the vernal holt
day, and the celebration Of the ami
versary Of Concord fight gave an op-
portunity for retaining 1t. A bill has
been introduced In Congress to make
April 18th national holiday.

Arrangements are in progress for
the assembly at the City of Mexico
next year of a general congress OF all
the Independent governments on the
American continent. The gathering
will be similar to the "Pan-American
conference" which met at. Washington
in 1889. One result OF that conference
was the formation of an International
Union OF American Republics, with a
bureau" Of general information. The
bureau, which includes in It's member
ship all OF the republics. is taking up
the preliminary work Of the proposed
congress. The replies which Secretary
Hay has received to his letter suggest
ing the new conference indicate that
all the American republics will be rep
resented. The conference will have no
political aims. 1t will consider ques-
tions of trade. facilities for transporta.
tion by rail and sea, banking systems
and customs methods, and perhaps II
will discuss the feasibility of a per-
manent tribunal Of arbitration to set
tie disputes among the republics with
out recourse to war.
