The White Pine News claims that

fold last year. 1t claims that one
year ago there were 900 people in Ely
and that now the population is pretty
close to 1000. All kinds of business

population and Ely is going forward
at a rapid pace. Real estate values
continue to advance and lots that
were sold for $4,000 last July are now
held for more than double the amount

NEW YORK, Feh.1-Represenua
tiyes of some of the largest copper
companies, having Offices in this city,
declared today that there was no
truth in the allegation made to At
torney General Bonaparte by the
Northeastern Metal Dealers associa-
tionto the effect that copper is being
withheld from the market by COM
bination Of producers. They denied
that there was any such combina-
ton, and declared the situation is a
natural one, due to the enormous in
crease in the demand for copper and
the inability to meet the demand.
Some Of the copper men said they
experienced great difficulty in keep
ing enough copper on hand to meet
possible emergencies, such as block
AIDES on the railroads or the gOing
astray of cars. One said that every
pound of copper his. mines could
produce was sold for months ahead
! and that he doubted that a carload
! Of copper could be obtained to-day
for immediate delivery. Other pro
duers said that they Lad considerable
copper in process of refinement, bu
this occupied several months; and a:
soon as it was refined it was sent u
consumers, who had | ong been
awaiting it.

MAYOR SCHMITz SAYS
he IS NEAR DEATH
Sets Out in Petition for Habeas
Corpus That Jail Life
Will Kill Him.

SAN FRANCISCO, June eo-Mavo,
ochmltz S attorneys late this evening
applied TO the District Court of AN
Peais for the release of the Mayor IN
bal, by writ of habeas corpus.
sixteen showings are made in the
petition, and at least one of them is
decidedly, sensational. 1t is decIara
!ion by his attorneys that the Mayor
is suffering from an incurahle disease.
and that Imprisonment in ia,l will
cause his death. II is understood that
the disease referred to is an affection
or the Kidneys and that it has advanced
to serious stage. This will greatly
surprise the Mayors acquaintances, for
San Francisco has always looked rpon
his as the embodiment Of physical Wig.
or a popular idea that has been
strengened by the marvellous nerve the
indicted man displayed throughout his
prosecution.
The petition alleges that the section
or the penal code under which the Nav
or was ordered into custody is mcon-
stltutlonal in that the petitioner is de
prlved of his liberty without due pro
cess of law. The petition further al
leges that Imprisonment of the Mavor
is In furtherance of q conspiracy by
Rudolph Spreckles and others through
n coerclve power over the board of SUI
peryisors who have confessed their
gnllt of bribery, to usurp the Office of
Mayor and secure full political con
troll of the affairs of San Francisco,
by removing all appointive officers of
the city by arbitrary, illegal and re-
means.
BY reason of the grave and serious
questions that must arise from carry.
ing ont such scheme the petitioner
urges that the facts alleged constitute
such extraordinary circumstances as
will Justify the court as a matter of
discretion in admitting the petitioner to
bail

He Won the Breaches.


There is a proverbial phrase signify
ing that the wife Is master in the
household, by which it is intimated
that ''she wears the breeches." The
phrase is both odd and common and is
only half understood by modern ex-
plantations. but in medieval story we
learn how "she" first put in her claim
to wear this particular article OF dress.
A French writer OF the thirteenth
century Hugues Tiauceilesl relates
some of the adventures OF couple
whose household was not entirely har-
nenious. Sire Ha:nes was the hus-
band; Dame Anieuse. the wife. After
q quarrel one evening Sire Hams said.
early in the morning l will take of
my breaches and lag them down in the
middle of the court, and the one who
can win them VIII be acknowledged
the master or mistress of the house"
Dame Anieuse accepted the chal-
isage The battle was fought the next
morning. 1t was a long battle, and it
was bloody At the end Sire Hams
bsre of the breeches. but the good
dame had convinced the world that she
was entitled to wear them in her own
house.
