NEGRO WAITER STABS
MAN DURING QUARREL

AS the result of an alteration, the
subject of which was the placing of
a load of ice in a Southern Pacific din
ing car, D. e. Hogbin, the iceman,
was stabbed and possibly mortally
wounded by F. T. Atkinson, negro
waiter in the employ of the railroad.
Hogbin resides at 626 Stephenson ave-
nue., and is looked upon by his friends
as being a peaceable person. He was
taken to the Sisters hospital, where it
was found that the knife used by At
kinson had entered the body below the
left shoulder blade and penetrated two
of his ribs. He is in a precarious con-
dition and may die at any time.
The train on which Atkinson is en-
ployed left the. Arcade depot for the
north at about o'clock last night. He
was later arrested by Constable Par
dee at Newhall and brought to Los
Angeles later in the evening.
Atkinson was locked up In the coun-
ty Jail charged with battery and using
a deadly weapon with intent to kill.

BY ASSOCldteu 1TeSS.
MINSK, Western Russia, June TO-
The report published in a London
newspaper that 100 persons We're shot
during the rioting here recently is in
correct. There was street riot here
last Thursday, on Cathedral square,
between soldiers and Jews.
1t was provoked, according to the
official version, by the theft of purse
from soldier off duty. His comrades
beat q Jew, whereupon a crowd of
about 600 of the latter's co-religionists
gathered to rescue him. The Jews used
stones and revolvers and the troops
were summoned. They fired into and
dispersed the crowd, with the result
that one Jew was killed, twenty were
wounded and a soldier was shot. The
chief of police sustained wound on
the head by flying missile and one
policeman was severely wounded.

California Rich in Copper.

Many interesting stories have been told
of the rapid rise to wealth of the lucky
miners throughout California, who have
in the past taken immense fortunes from
the rich mineral deposits of the noun
tains and waterways of this state; and
while these men have taken untold riches
out of the gold and silver mines of Cali
fornia, they have left millions upon mil
lions yet to be distributed as dividends
among those fortunate enough to become
interested in the great copper properties
which are now attracting the attention of
the kings of finance and which are fast
placing California to the front as pro-
ducer of that valuable metal.
Discovery of Cosumnes Mine.
Langley's State Register recites the dis
covery of copper ore on the Costumes
river in El Dorado county, California,
giving instances of assays yielding over
20 per cent pure metal. But ii was not
until early in the sixties, when the sturdy
miners were washing large fortunes every
day from the rich placer mines of the
California river bottoms, and at a time
when very little attention was given to a
search for the now-valued sister metal,
copper, that a party of miners who were
digging a tailrace for the discharge of
lne uepIlS from tHc pldcer cldlilS higher
up the stream, crosscut a wel-defined
ledge of copper ore above the south bank
of the Costumes river. Great excitement
was created by this discovery, as the
miners at first thought the copper sui
phides to be gold. Specimens of the ore
were assayed and found to be rich in
copper, gold and silver, some showing as
high as $1,000 in gold values per ton.
Claims were located and company was
incorporated and acquired title to the
property. and the claims were from that
time on known as the Costumes Copper
Mines

are obtained as by-products, that the

per properties now being extensively OPP
Grated were originally worked as either
gold or silver propositions, as they con-

been worked as base-meta properties for
