they, will probably be accepted al a meeting Of the association tomorrow afternoon.
 In view of the fact that the United Metas Selling coompany, as selling agent, represents such a large per centage of the copper produced in this country said Mir. Stanton, it would be useless to put out the statistics un- available. l cannot talk about the fu-. ture of the Copper Producers associa- tion."
 In certain quarters it was said today that there would be no formal dissolu- ton of the association, but it would be- continued more as a social than busi- ness organization.
 The Amalgamated Copper company which is the largest patron of the United Metals Selling company. is pur- suing Standard Oil tactics in with drawing from the Copper Producers association and it's refusal to submit its statistics of production to the pub lie.
 Very little is known concerning the. workings of the Amalgamated Copper company, and less will be known here after. Its sales and stocks on hand will be closely guarded. The New York Stock exchange demands a comprehen- sive statemen from the corporations making application 10 list their securi. ties, but. strange to say, when the Ana lgama.ed Copper company applied for admission it was let of with a statement of bare facts and figures.
 In fact, the public was already ac- quainted with the contents of the Am algamated Copper compaEy's s-ate- ment to the Stock Exchange. the most important statement therein being the capital stock of the respective subsi- diary concerns. No explanation was ever given as to why the Amalgamated Copper company was allowed to list it's stock on information so meager and meaningless.
 The monthly statistics have been looked forward to with great interest by the metal trades in general, and nat urally the action of the copper compan- ies that sell their copper through the United Metal Selling company, which Irepresents something lik 5 per cent of the total output of copper in the Uni ted States, has created considerable unfavorable comment.
 It is said that the resignations of the companies were due to the fact that there were not sufficient reciprocal ar engagements with the foreign compan- ies in the matter of furnishing accu- rate statistics. such as are published by the Copper Porucers' association.
 There is a copper association in London. but the figures published by it are meager The Coppers Producers association has been in existence for many years, it's original purpose being to promote harmonious relations be- tween the various producers of the country. The January statistics of the country's copper production were due today.

Henry Logan was in from the Hua- chucas Monday. in company with his friend. Frank Wright, they visited the Review office and took "ruberrings" on the linotype, ruling machine, and other paraphernalia in full operation Both gentlemen are well acquainted with the Montezuma canyon district. MT. Logan owns five splendid claims in that locality. The traveller in going to the headquarters of the Mitchell Devel- opment company, can distinguish his property by a distinguished looking iron and lime reef standing up 40 or 50 feet just across the wash to the right. His property runs well in cop per, gold and lead, the first two val ues predominating. Mir. Logan has had these claims about four years. and has done about 15O feet of development work on them. He is an old Colorado miner, having been in the service of the Four Medals" for years. He is of the opinion that the Mitchell property is a meritorious proposition, and to his statement, MT. Wright, who has worked on the same ground, added his testimony. MT. Logan's property is nearly surrounded by the big Mitchell group, and their destinies are, in a sense. linked together. Thes gentle men returned to the Huachucas today, to resume development work.

Finally Agree Upon The

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.-The condition
which President Castro attached 10 his re-
aponse to the allies arbitration proposal
ras in the nature Of an alternative propo-
aition.
Almost from the beginning showing an
aversion to The Hague tribunal, Castro,
while accepting the principle Of arbitra-
tion, asked that the case be tried by one
of the American republics.
As President Roosevelt already had de-
clined to act IN the capacity Of arbitrator
and as some of the reasons which inspired
him in his declination would apply with
equal force to the chief executive Of any
other American state than the United
States, he was obliged TO withhold any
endorsement Of this proposition OF Presi-
dent Castro.
Therefore II may be dismissed from the
field Of possibilities and unless Castro is
unexpectedly insistent upon his own plan
the original proposition in reference to
The Hague tribunal will carry.

for Amending the Exemption

Members OF the Central Labor union sue
ceeded Friday night in arriving at a de-
cision regarding intended legislation, which
was presented before the body for its con-
sideration. being the proposed amendment
to the exemption laws now on the statute
books Of the state.
The union has been in conference with
the Retail Grocers' association, that some
decision might be obtained relative to the
matter and at the session last night. after
the proposed amendment to the present law
as drafted by the grocers was read before
the .pnion. that body went on record as
fatty refusing to be in direct accord with
or saRotionipg the amendment, voting
against 1t. principally, that 1t might be
made a matter OF record in the minutes
OF the union and also that the grocers
might not mistake the action taken.
Aliens restaurant, Sixteenth and Web

Al une Boyd.
Five times in three seasons and still do
ing good business is the record for THE
Burgomaster" in Omaha. Just what there
is about the Pixley & Luders concoction OF
Jingle and Jest that lures people to the
playhouse is not exactly apparent on the
surface. For the jingles are not especially
meritorious and the jests are somewhat
hoary, and almost everybody in town can
nudge his neighbor and grin himself in
anticipatory enjoyment OF each approaching
climax OF humor. Yet all seem to enjoy
the performance, and there you are. 1t is
merry after it's fashion and tuneful accord
ing to it's kind. 1t doesn't set up to re-
form anything or anybody and hasn't tried
to make a lasting impression anywhere but
on the box office. And in all human prob
ability II will continue to visit Omaha and
be applauded by large audiences until sore
newer and more acceptable form Of amuse-
ment has been devised.
Many members OF the present company
are old favorltes. Some Of them are the
originals in the roles. All of them are
sufficiently interested in the piece to try
to get the best out of IL, and that they do
not entirely fail is evidenced by the fact
that they were roundly applauded from
time to time by the large audience at the
