JUDGE LYON GIVES VERDICT
IN FAVOR OF THE POLICEMEN.
The Judge Holds that When the Police Appoint
ments Were Confirmed by the Aldermen, they
Could Not Be Removed Unless Charges We're
Preferred Against Them Theodore Strong
Represented the Majority Of the Board.

which was very clear and emphatic.
In giving his decision, Judge sLyon
declared that, in his opinion, if such
a reconsideration as the one in ques-
tion were of value, then the aldermen
could, according to the same principle,
revoke paving contract after the
contractor had commenced work.
The taking OF testimony occupied
hut oomparativ little time, the
summing up and arguments of coun-
sci, aud the decision of Judge Lyon,
taking up most of the two hours and
quarter which the trial Aasted.
Great stress was laid by Lawyer
Strong, for the defense, upon the fol-
lowing points: A majority of the en-
tire council did not confirm the OPP
pointmeats; a consideration was
made; notices were served ion Chiof
Burke and the four policemen; and
no warrant was delivered to Morris,
because Comptroller Henry had erased
his signature, thus preventing pay
ment; This action of the comptrol-
Ter g, Lawyer Wight declared 10 have
been totally unwarranted. Mr.. Wight
and Judge Lyon both brought out the
fact that an admission was made in
open court by counsel for the "city,
at the former trial when no defense
was offered, that the men were lega
officers up to the date of the recon
sidering vote Mr.. Wight referred to
law enacted in 1886, proving that
police employees i'll this State could
only be removed on charges after a
trial. He stated that this law was
designed to remove the police depart
ment from political control. Mr..
| Str ong declared that politics did not
enter at all into the matter at issue.
Roundsman Morris sned for one

Oil Excltement,

The oil excitement at Fallon has
increased since experts from Beau
mont, Texas, and Bakersfield, Cali
fornia, have voiced the opinion that
the indications for development of
great oil fields are unrivaled. A
standard rig has been wired for and
it is believed that as Fallon is located
at the point of greatest depression
in the state, it will not require deep
boring to develop the wells. The
original discovery was made on the
townsite which is held under a state
patent, and a building boom has
struck the town.

The Copper Outlook Bright.

The outlook for copper is more
promising than for some time past.
1t is stated by authorities that the
surplus has been entirely absorbed
and that the present output of the
mines of the world scarcely keeps
up with the demand and actual alb
sorption of the metal by the indus
tries. Whenever copper reaches a
low price the result is heavy buying
by consumers, and also the introduc-
ton of the metal into new uses, and
into channels where its use is pro-
hibitory in the time Of high prices.
In view of the present situation, a
firm market for copper is anticipated,
with possibly a somewhat higher
price. Scientific Press.

TONOPAH BONANZA


The western atmosphere seems to
be particularly favorable to the de-
velopment of the human faculty
known as knocking" No man that
has any connection with western min
fng or promotion enterprises has
escaped the annoying and sometimes
disastrous consequences of this m
omaly. One would naturally think
that the local residents would be in
terested in boosting and booming the
whole district for selfish reasons, if
not on grounds of local patriotism.
If the management does not conduct
the mine exactly to suit the local
experts and ''wise men" a howl is
sent up and goes forth to all the
world. If the management is pro
gressive and has new ideas the local
critics condemn them without a hear
ing. These local experts all know
just how to run the other fellows
business, and il their gratuitous adj
vice is not accepted on the spot they
proclaim that the management of the
property is incompetent or perhaps
dishonest. 1t is very seldom that
mining managers and promoters look
for any local support, and if they do
get it it is accepted with so many
conditions and ''ifs'' and lands that
it costs more than it is worth. We
are not in sympathy with the erich
mans son." or the %proverbial "black
sheep who is sent in to the west to
develop mining properties with money
sent unquestioned from eastern
friends and connections. This class
is certain to make costly mistakes
and many resulting failures. II il
we're only the business of those who
are foolish enough to put their money
in such unwise hands we would have
nothing to say. These incompetent
cies are an injury to any mining dis

mines mentioned we're the property

the properties under bond to an
eastern combination represented by
a Mr.. Wheeler for $25, 900. The first
payment has been made and the
purchasing crowd has now a good
force of men employed sinking the

Montana-Tonopah Latest Strike.

A sample OF ore from the latest
strike in the Montana Tonopah, says
the Salt Lake Tribune of May goth,
affords index to a story of wealth as
sensational, perhaps, as any in the
history OF that remarkable camp.
Studded with crystals of ruby silver
and sheeted with glance, it affords a
splendid example of the wealth of
silver with which the camp has been
endowed while associated with it is
an auriferous pyrite and some copper,
the whole affording a most interest
ing study, with a valuation of several
thousand dollars per ton. While the
breast of ore will not maintain an
average denoted by the specimen, it
is by no means rare and a half dozen
average dividends have been ex-
posed since the disclosure was made.
