ABE RUFF ARRESTED.


San Francisco.-Abraham Ruef, the
local political boss. who. for three days.
had been In hiding TO evadc an order
of arrest issued by Superior Judge
Dunno, was taken into custody Friday
night at the Trocadero, secluded sub
urban resort near the ocean beach.
The arrest was made by w. J. BiGgy.
elisor of Judge DUNES court. and De
tective Burns. who is aiding Assistant
Attorney Honey in the WORK OF prose
cutting alleged municipal "grafters.'
Ruef submitted MS gracefully as posi-
BILE to arrest and was brought to the
city in an automobile. His custodians
stopped for an hour at the Office of Mr..
Heney while Ruef was left in the auto
mobile under guard. He was later
taken to hotel and will probably be
detained there over night
1t Is said that his captors declined
to take him to jail on account of the
intimate political and friendly rela-
lions existing between the sherin and
the prisoner Ruef will be taken to
Judge DUNES court in the morning.
This was not the only sensational de-
velopment in Fridays proceedings In
the Ruef case. Samuel NJ. Shortridge.
attorney of record for Ruef. incurred
a severe rebuke from Judge Dunno dur
ing an examination by Assistant DIS
trict Attornew Heney into the incom-
potency of Coroner Walsh. appointed
by the court as substitute for the dis
qualified sheriff O'Neil. to locate and
arrest the indicted politician.
Shortridge persisted in an effort to
enter objection to n question put by
Heney. and would not be silenced by
the court. who finally adjudged him
guilty of contempt and sentenced him
to twenty-f four hours Imprisonment In
the county Jail.
Shortridge, however, escaped imme-
diate incarceration by applying to the
District Court of Appeals for writ OF
habeas corpus on the ground that no
contempt had been committed.

c. HARTMAN WOULD COOPER

ADMITS MAKING A MISTAKE

Mutual Benefit Nobody Would Be
Worrying Over the Situation as It
10 To-Day"
New York; am ready to make the
advancement of a scheme of coopera-
ton between the government and the
railways my chief interest" said E.. II.
Hartman, president of the Union Pa
cific railroad, on returning from Wash
ington.
Mr. Hartman declined to talk about
the report that he had obtained control
of the Reading railroad. Speaking OF
agitation against corporate wealth. he
said:
"They-we-all of us, should have
considered the possible effects of this
agitation before 1t was begun or be-
fore conditions that made its growth
possible were allowed to continue. II
we had all met on common ground and
cooperation for our mutual benefit
nobody would be worrying over
the situation as 1t IL to-day.
1--WE all made mistake in this. |
realize the mistake, and l believe the
administration at Washington is be
ginning to realize that 1t has been lit
tie too radical in its attitude toward
the railroads. Henceforth l look to
see it's opposition take on more of the
spirit of cooperation. l believe the
railways can expect to receive more
even-handed justice.
I'VE men at the head of the great
corporations on our part are coming to
a better understanding of whnt the
government expects of us. We are be-
ginning to get the point Of view of the
administration. We feel that we are
now, all of us-the public. the govern
ment and the railways-on common
ground, where we can deal with each
other in the right spirit.
I'm more than willing to give my
support to such n process of cnlighten-
ment. I'm ready to make the adj
vancement of such a scheme of coop
Grafton my chief interest. Surely there
could be few conditions Imaginable
that would be of wider benefit than to
eliminate hostile friction"

We tossed aside the apple cores

celler l ever saw. There seemed alb
solutely no end to it. The wine cellar
was walled apart from the main eel

of the grape drifted out to us.

AT STARIEv BUTTE.
fGraham Gs,a1s,aA


 U1che John Parks came uo from Stanley Butte last week and reports a great deal of act!rity in mining down there; in fact the strip is on the vorse of one of the greatest boons in the history of this county. Mining men from all parts of the country are being attracted there by the immense deposits of copper ore, and the dis trict is rapidly opening up.
 Duncan, Owens and others have just bonded their mines, located south west of the Stanley Butte Consolidat- cd to eastern people for Si5O, 900. re- ceiving 10 per cent down .
 The Mitchell people. who purchased the Weist property. located a short distance from the Duncan and Owens property, have thirty men at work and are devolping a fine property. These people will, build a road to connect with the railroad at Thomas.
 Parks, Lillie and Faull have closed a deal with Pittsburg people by which they sell l20 fine cOppe- claim with some gold and silver showing oA each. Joe Phistan. who has charge of this property, is working eighteen men.
 Development work continues stead lily oa the Stanley Butte Consolidated property. After the first of the yea. "a large force of men will be at work for this company. Mir. Carpenter, the superintendent. Is now in New York, but will return early next. month when machinery will be erected and work pushed rapidly. ~...'
 Further west. iE the AravaiDa min ing is also very active. The old Grand Reef mine, one of J. ". Mackey's pets. but lying idle since his death. has been sold by the estate and is now a busy scene and ere long will take its place among the great copper producers.
 Table mountain. not far from the Grand Reef. is also busy scene. Fine ore is being taken out of the mines there and shipped to Wilcox.
 H. L. Firth, whose property il To- cated between the Aravsipa and Stan ley Butte, is also doing a lot of de- yelopment work on his property, work ing at present fourteen men.
 Stanley Butte is now connected with the railroad by daily stage leaving San Carlos every morning and returning in the evening. W. H. AlbrittOn is the proprietor.
