I'D. exploded a bombshell by declaring
that Mr.. Tachi did not own one foot
of ground credited to him but that it
was owned by himself and that Mr..
Tachi had signed the petition on the

Mr.. Turner, smarting over the sue
cess of Mr.. Schwarz in wrestling a
profitable tenant from him, entered a
decided objection to the council grant
ing Mr.. Prathers request.
There the matter stuck. Councilman
Kirkman made a motion that the re-
quest be granted and he was COM
pelled to withdraw it on Mr.. Turner s
showing that he came into possession
of the property two weeks ago and
all the interest Mr.. Tachi had in the
property was a $4,000 mortgage or
it.
Mayor Kellough referred the matter

Active Markets for Most Base Metals.
The last week was notable for large export
contracts for refined copper. Negotiations
are reported by several important producers
which will lead to the booking Of heavy ex-
port tonnages during this week for shipment
In August and September. The general CON-
dition OF Industrial interests In Great Britain,
France, Germany, Austria, Italy, Switzerland
and Belgium Is better than ever before. The
asult Is an enormous demand for base metals
and an extra demand for copper, owing to the
great volume Of work In hand for the ~installa-
ton OF hydroelectrio transmission plants and
the displacement Of steam machinery In mills
for electric power, TIL telephone Interest is
making new construction records throughout
Europe. and Is fast displacing the telegraph.
This Ii causing large demands for wire.
At an after luncheon chat at q downtown
club yesterday the heads Of six great copper
producing interests tabulated their export
contracts for June, July and August, and
added thereto estim ates for other important
producers. The aggregate amount was set
at 100 600 600 lbs, These operators dlscredit
the figures published by certain agencies as
the copper exports for May. The head Of
the largest interest present said that he does
not doubt the good faith Of the men who
collected the figures for May. but he Is OF
the opinion that the exports from several
ports were overlooked. He sets May ex-
ports Of copper at rs $50 ~tons-basing the
figures upon carefully gathered reports by
his own staff that covers all Atlantic ports.
