WOODWORTH RENEWs MOTION

Mr. Woodwork then came in and re-
newed the motion. He said that II
would be impossible to obtain a con-
viction on the three material counts III
the indictment, because witnesses who
had testified on the previous trial had
disappeared and the evidence at the
disposal of the prosecution was not
sufficient to warrant a verdict
Judge de Haven remarked that there
was enough evidence at the former
trial because the jury brought in a ver-
dict of conviction.
Mr.. Woodwork stated further that
he had authorities to show that should
another verdict of conviction be had III
the case it would not stand under the
recent decisions in United States
courts.
This is a matter which you do on
your own responsibility" said Judge de
Haven. Il am only taking care to see
that the responsibility is placed where
it belongs. / require that the order.
which you want entered, be read in
court"
The order was read and the case
was thereupon dismissed.
The defendants were convicted sew
eral months ago, but Judge de Haven
granted them a new trial because he
had refused to give to the jury the fol-
lowing instruction in accordance with
the decision Of the United States Su-
preme Court in the case of the United
States against Budd:

TIMBER CASES
ARE DISMISSED
NOlle PrOsequi Entered in
Favor of EngIe and Other
Lumbermen of Sierra

In accordance with recent rulings Of
United States Circuit Judge Grosscup
of Chicago, United States District
Judge Hanford of Seattle and of Judge
Rodgers of Arkansas, United States
District Judge de Haven yesterday
granted the motion of United States
District Attorney Woodwork for a
nolle prosequi in the case of the United
States against James NJ. Engle, Rich
ard II. Lewis, William S. Lewis and
A w Keddie, indicted for subornation
of perjury in connection with certain
timber land entries in Sierra and Plu-
mas counties.
Earlier in the day Bert Schlesinger,
counsel for the defendants, appeared
in court and asked that Saturday of
this week be set as the day for the
trial. Shortly thereafter Assistant
United States Attorney Ben L. Nc
Kinlay moved that a nolle prosequi be
entered and the case dismissed.
Judge de Haven asked whether this
was one of the timber fraud cases in
which a conviction had been already
secured and Mr.. McKinlay replied that
he was not familiar with the case, it
having been in charge of the late Ed
ward j. Banning when acting as AS
sistant United States District Attorney,
and he would therefore refer the mo-
ton to Mr. WOodWorth

The Butte Copper Camp.

1t has been stated by good mining
authority that Montana produced last
year no less than 300, 0OO, 900 pounds
of copper. That means that the Butte
district, as far as the production OF
copper goes, practically mined that
amount. This statement seems al
most incredible when it is remember
ed that the Amalgamared properties
we're for different reasons shut down
several times through the year. Cal
culating that the state OF district pro-
duced 300, 900, 900 pounds of copper,
then it is estimated that the Anal
gamated properties must have easily
sent out 240, 600, 900 pounds; Heinze,
IS, ZOO, 900; the Clark properties, "a
000, 900, and the miscellaneous COM
panies and individuals, 1000, 900.
With these figures to guide one, the
many stories circulated about the
failing ore bodies of the great Ana
conda mine stand out In all their alb
surdity. Setting aside 65 days for
the time of suspension, the actual
production must have been 100000
pounds for the 300 days in the year.
Not for many years has the Amalga-
mated company been shipping such
an amount of ore. The mines OF the
company have eve been in better
condition, nor have they ever given
evidence of a more promising future.
It is the custom of this company to
keep the ore reserves from two to
four years ahead of the smelter, n
today there is not a mine of the COM
pany that Is not two years ahead IN
the ore blocked out. On the 2,OOO
foot level of the Anaconda the COM
pany is operating On a vein 35 feet
wide, in the center of which Is a four
foot body of the richest copper glance.
This fact is wonderful only to those
who have been reading such positive
stories as have been going the rounds
for the past two years regarding the
total extinction of ore in this prop
erty. What Is true of the Anaconda
is true also of all of the mines OF the
Amalgamated company. That the
company is satisfied with the outlook
was demonstrated three years ago
when it erected the $4,000, 900 smell
ter at Anaconda for the purpose of
treating it's ore. Had there been any
cause for anxiety the smelter would
hardly have been built, for the old
smelter IA well equipped and of ca
pacity sufficient for the needs of fail
ing properties. Had there been no in
crease in production, and no prospect
for a long continued increase, the
great smelter would never have been
built. The Amalgamated %company's
daily output is 10000 tons of ore. or
this amount $500 tons of ore are sent
to the Washoe smelter at Anaconda
from the Anaconda, Parrot and Wa
shoe companies. From the Boston &
Montana 5000 tons are sent to the
smelter at Great Falls. About $50
tons are sent daily to the Colorado
smelter at Butte, and $50 tons to the
Butte & Boston smelter at Meader-
vile. Heinze mines about 1900 tons
a day and ships about 80 per cent of
it to Basin for concentration. Heinze's
mines are in excellent condition and
the shipments of ore are, like those
of the Amalgamated, greater than ev-
err before. In fact, the Butte district
is prospecting better than for many
years past.

Gold Reef in Good Condition.

j. X. Mckenzie, of Chicago, gen.
eral superintendent of the Gold Reef
Mining company, left this morning
for the asst after spending a week in
Gilt Edge looking over the property
OF his company. To the Argus re-
porter Mr.. Mckenzie expressed his
entire satisfaction with the present
outlook of the famous Drake mine.
Two diamond drills are now at work
developing the property, and, in the
opinion of Mr.. Mckenzie, this is the
cheapest and best way of developing
mineral ground in that district. When
asked concerning the truth OF the re-
port that the company intends to put
in another rooster during the coming
summer, he said that nothing def
mite had been done in that direction.
It is being considered but no decis-
ion has yet been reached in the mat
ter.
