MINNIE HEALY IS
OPENED BY CLANCY
ALL PREl llMlNARY MOTIONS BY THE
ATTORNEYS FOR THE 3. g. M.
ARE OVERRULED.
IMITATION READS PLEADINGS
Trial by Jury Denied-judae Announces
That He viii Hear the Injunction
Motion After the Trial.

The second trial OF the Minnie Healy
mining case opened in Judge Clancy's
court at 10 o'clock this morning.
The nominal plaintiff in the case is
Miles Finlen. The nominal defendant is
+. A. Heinze. The real plaintiff is the
Boston & Montana Mining company, and
the real defendant is the United Copper
company.
Half of the forenoon was lost in the
presentation and consideration OF prelim-
mary motions. All the motions we're pre-
sented by the Boston 4 Montana company
and all of them were overruled by Judge
Clancy.
Reading Of Pleadings.
The remainder of the day till the middle
OF the afternoon was consumed by the
reading of the plcadings, and no evidence
had been received by the court up to last
accounts this afternoon.
The plaintiff was represented by At
torneys A. J. Shores, John +. Forbis and
c. +. Kelley. The defendant was repre-
sentcd by Attorneys ]. J. Mediation and
Charles r. Leonard, the latter gentleman
having been added to the United Copper
company's counsel by the court at Judge
McHattons request.
The defendant, the United Copper com.
pany, will put in its evidence first, Judge
Clancy having so ruled.
Before the trial proper began, the at
torneys for the Boston 4 Montana COM
pany made exhaustive efforts to secure
further time to prepare to secure jury
trial to have the injunction matter heard
first; to have issues of fact framed, and
to have the trial of the legal issues pre-
cede the hearing of the equity questions
But their efforts all failed Judge
Clancy overruled every motion and OBJ
lection made by them, and pushed every
thing interposcd aside and proceeded to
the trial.
Refused to Hear Il.
He absolutely refused to hear the motion
to revive the injunction prohibiting Heinzc
from working the Minnie Healy till the
case is finally settled.
He said he will hear that motion after
the trial is finished.
In the meantime Heinzc mines the ore
without bond
The injunction against him existed dur
ing all the time since Judge Lindsay was
on the bench until the case was revived.
Since then the Boston & Montana COM
pany has found it impossible even to Sc
cure a hearing from the trial courts on
the motion to revive it.
The subject matter OF the suit is the
rich Minnie Healy mine. The plaintiff
claims to own the mine, and sues to re-
cover possession of it and to have the de-
fcndant enjoincd from interfering with his
ownership or enjoyment Of it.
The defendant asserts that the plaintiff
orally assigned his rights of ownership to

London, Sept. I6.--On the heels Of Pre-
mier Balfour's academic expression of his
personal views Of the fiscal problem. con-
tained in the pamphlet on 'insuar free
trade advance sheets of which were
issued last night, came the long promised
and much demanded government statistics
dealing with that subject
They were issued today by the board of
trade. in the shape of blue book of nearly
500 pages OF bewildering tables OF figures
showing the various aspects of British
foreign trade and the industrial conditions
No deductions were drawn though the
publication tcenIs with interesting notes
upon what are regarded as points of fact.
lhe reference TO foreign trade were chiefly
confined to France, Germany and the
United States.
No More Cabinet Meetings.
The Pail Mall Gazette says it under
stands the cabinet has concluded the con-
slderation of its fiscal position and its
policy in regard thereto that no further
cabinet meetings will be held for the pres
ent. probably not until late in the autumn.
and that in the meanwhile Colonial Sec
retary Chamberlain will proceed with his
expository program.
Che OF tne most important phases dealt
with in the blue book are imports and ex-
ports. The tables show that the exports
from the United Kingdom to the United
States declined from $4sooo, 900 in 1890
to $97, 5000 in 1902, while the imports
rose from $tS5 100000 to $63s 900, 900.
The total exports TO all foreign countries
declined in the same period 500, 700 900
though when the colonies are included,
the decline only amounts to $s,ooo.ooo.
The proportion of the United Kingdom
exports as between protected and unpro-
tected countries in the markets of the
world, has been reversed since 1880. Then
It was per cent to the protected countries
and ~ per cent to the others. In 1909,
the proportion was AZ per cent to the pro-
