gentlemen have an ore body eight feet in
width. Two feet of this is high grade and
IS being sacked. 1t runs from $500 to 500
to the ton.
The lease on Union No. 9. formerly
operated by Douglass & Kendall, is now
being worked by L. H Davis, Jim Shea,
w. e. Stanley and G. L. Putnam. They
have forty tons out already that Is worth
$500 per ton. The ledge is three feet wide.
on which there is an eight-inch streak
that will go $1,000 per ton.
The Curtis dry washers on Union NO.
are cleaning up S5S to $50 per day. Their
first shipment of bullion to the Carson
mint gave returns of s1492 per ounce. Mr..
Curtis has sent for a new engine, to come
by express, and work will be prosecuted
under high pressure until bad weather
stops them.
In all there are fifteen leasers operating
in this camp with fattering prospects.
Resume Wark
Work is to be again resumed on the
Touuirna Copper. The officers and some
of the principal stockholders of the com
pany have decided to take up block Of
the treasury stock at figure that will
create a fund ample to sink another 100
feet When work was discontinued on
this property last spring the shaft had
reached a depth of 175 feet, and at that
time, the wettest period of the season, a
flow of 800 gallons of water daily was
too much for the equipment. During the
next four months, the dry season, 1t is
believed another 100 feet can be gained
without serious hindrance by water.
The showing at, the bottom of the shaft
in percentage of ore is good. For the last
100 feet the copper values are such as to
indicate a well paying mine, even at the
present low ebb of copper prices. Dis
seminated chalcopyrite occurs regularly
and continuously. In the last few feet
the vein matter is much softer and the ore
shows a tendency Of making more massive
todies of pure chalcopyrite. 1t is believed
that the next 100 feet of sinking will reveal
the pure ore in sufficient quantity to
enable the mine to ship at profit.
The offer of stock for this additional
work on Toquima Copper is made to pres
ent stockholders only.
In the tunnel ON what is known as the
Hickey lease on the Blackboard claim
above town ore has been struck. 1t is
almost a cinch that the leasers on this
tract of ground will come out to the good,
as they are after what is believed to be
the Cram-La Lime ledge. 1t is more than
probable that the April Fool ledge, which
was opened up by January Jones, is also
a continuation of this ore body In its west
ward course on the north side of the Man
haitian canyon.

Frau Molitor. was visited Dy the gov ernor of the prison today and inform ed that his wife had committed sui eide by drowning in a lake in Switz- erland.

RADICALS DEFEATED !
 AGAIN IN IHt DOUMA
Thereby the Russian Parliament Was Given Longer Lease on Life.

St. Petersburg. June S.-An attempt made today hy the radical members of the house Of parliament to instruct the agrarian commission to adopt the compulsory appropriation of land was defeated by the constitutional demo- clats. who rallied a majority from tho center and right parties and as re- suit of one of the most pressing men aces to the douma is removed. The declaration in favor Of appropriation undoubtedly would have suff.ced to turn the scale against the douma in the present crisis. but the victory O. the constitutional democrtts is apt to cost them dear in prestige among the peasantry.
 The second battle over amnesty has been postponed. This also will place the constitutional democrats in an un- pleasant position as the masses are not able to comprehend the constitu- tiOnal ground upon which 1t is pro- posed to table the radical bill. The debate today was somewhat heated the social democrats attacking Premier StOlypin's attitude on the agrarian question. The leaders of various par ties heard several resolutions pro posed and finally the president put the previous question and the douna rejected all resolutions.

The Mexican government today notified the Guate- malan minister of the capture of three Guatemalan spies. Among them was a lieutenant colonel of the Guate- malan army who gave the name of Colena.

character which the meeting may have can prevail upon President Diaz to call the meeting. When President DiaZ has emphatically announced that Mex leo does not entertain the idea of pro- tectorate for a settlement of the Cen tral American troubles it is argued that the mere calling of the proposed convention would in no way nullify Mexico's previous declarations and would give the assembly the desired standing.
 In this connection a significant tel agram was received here tonight. It says that Senor Gomez who is con fidential agent of President Zelaya of Nicaragua, will leave New Orleans to- morrow for Mexico where he will con fer with President DiaZ. Promoters of the congress believe that much hinges on this conference.
 The telegram says that Fernando Sanchez, former minister of foreign relations of Nicaragua will leave New York as the accredited minister to Mexico from Nicaragua. Luis Felipe COrea, minister of Nicaragua to the United States is also accredited to Mexico. but it is said the coming of Sanchez will nullify the arrangement and Corea will be the representative of the United States only. The Mex ican government knows nothing of ficially of the arrangements.

THE UNSHAKfN STORY
 OF ASSASSIN ORCHARD
The Defense Trying to Show That Though
 a Fiend He is a Mean One
It is Probable That the Tale of Blood Will Be u Told and RetOld by the Chief Witness All This
 Week.

Led by Richardson. Orchard stated that he was hired, by Mover, the pres ident of the Federation, to act as his guard against thugs alleged to have been hired by mine owners to attack and terroriZe him. From half dozen states witnesses will be called to deny Orchards assertions. Already two men accused by Orchard of complicity in the plots he says were matched by the inner circle of the Western Fedora tion have been called upon in court where they sat as spectators. Orchard identified them as the men he named. and Billie Easterly and Owney Barnes have openly sneered their denial of his testimony.
 Haywood has a battery of six law yerS and the state has four. Hay woods family. his wife. mother. sis ters and two daughters. sit close be- hind him. Between the counsel for the state and the defense the feeling is very apparent. At every session there comes quick exchange of sharp words. At times the situation becomes intense. J. H. Hawley. senior counsel for the state. is quick to anger and
 
 Borah. his colleague. is keen. quick of tongue and sarcastic. Rirchardson. for the defense, has a resonant voice that rises in anger and he is impatient of interruption. He frequently filings a sheer at Hawley or Borah or thun- ders his objections when he thinks in terruption is out of place.
 Clarence Darrow sits beside him watchful. Slow Of action and of speech he seldom takes part in these passages but is ever ready to smooth the ruff fled feelings of the other side. Judge Wood is perhaps the most alert of the principals in the case. Not a word or movement escapes him He is prompt in decisions and permits no infringe ment of the dignity of the court.
 But the coolest man is Orchard. Under Richardson's grilling he has seldom changed the pitch of the evenly modulated voice in which he told the awful tale. His answers come prompt ly and without hesitation. So far he has not been caught in any material contradiction. From time to time he has actually corrected the record it. self.
 Al tunes Tn reply 10 assertions by Richardson he is positive in the ex- treme. "I made no such statement" or "I said nothing of the kind" is a frequent answer and when he finds some statement not to his satisfaction he will change it. always preceding the change with: "I beg your pardon sir, but I would like to change that answer"
 At the close of Orchards cross examination the state will take him in hand for redirect examination and then will come the re-cross examination. It seems hardly probable that he will be dismissed before the end of next week He may be recalled afterward as the case develops. The warden of the penitentiary says Orchard shows no

THE CHANGES
 OF MR. TAFT
IA Political Conference
 With Ohio lieutenantS
It is Given Out that the Buckeye State is Nailed Down.

Washington. June s. Secretary Taft spent four hours preceding his departure tonight on an extended in spection and speech-making tour of the northwest. in reviewing his polit- ical prospects as a presidential candi- date, his advisers being Representative Theodore F. Burton and Arthur l. Norys, both of ohio. No formal an rouncement followed the conference. but no concealment was attempted as to the reports which were made
 Ohio is regarded as safely under control of the friends of the secretary. Of the forty-siX delegates to be elect ed to the next national republican con- vention. all but two who are to come from Senator Foraker's home district. are regarded os certain to be Taft men.
 For the first time the situation at large was reviewed. The political friends of Taft outside of ohio. are said tO be numerous ami the outlook was stated tO be most encouraging al- though the situation is not yet capable of detailed analysis. In this con nection it was announced that Vorys win be MT. Taft's national political manager. He is now on his way to New York to attend a meeting of the state insurance commissioners and will take occasion to do some political sounding as well as to discuss the situation with the secretary's brother. Henry Taft.
 One detail of the ohio situation re- coived some attention. the question of calling this year state convention for the purpose of placing in nomination four delegates at large to the national convention. The friends of the sec retary are divided as to the advisabil- ity of such a convention this year. Be side making nominations, if held. 1t would adopt strong resolutions in en- dorsement of the secretary. It is be- lieved that the weight of sentiment is against holding a convention this year. The plan to hold d state and district convention at an early date next year Is regarded with considerable favor.
 Both Norys and Burton will be in Ohio before the end of next week. and everything necessary to maintain the political control which they feel Taft forces now have will be done. Secre- tary Taft ate luncheon with President Roosevelt today previous to the polit- ical conference.

Boise. June S.-The cross eXamina- tion of Orchard, by his own confession the slayer of eighteen men by bullet and bomb is likely to last through Monday and Tuesday and possibly longer. Orchard has now been on the stand fourteen hours in direct and cross-examination. Of this the state had seven and half hours. In that time orchard told what appeared to be an incredible story spread over the forty-one years of his life. Orchard spared no incident of his more recent life under the questioning of the state that might prove to the jury his read mess to slaughter for low wages and how indifferent he had been as 10 the number or conditions of his victims. The story brought out by the state was however, merely a synopsis Of the play whose acts cover the years sine 1899.
 Under Cross-eXamination by F.. F. Richardson counsel for Haywood, Or chard has so far developed the series of tragedies up to 1904. Three more years and many murders are yet to be analysed. For purposes of its own. not so far revealed the defense has de- termined that Orchard shall retell his life story so that the most diabOlical or the most squalid detail shall not fail to be impressed upon the minds of the jury.
 Slowly but surely the defense is de- velopine the lines by which it hopes to break down the story of Orchard so far as it affects Haywood. Mover and Pettibone. If it was possible to heap further Obloquy on the witness. they have done so by proving him capable of petty crimes.
 By his own admission he is a big amist, thief, a liar and an incendiary He had played traitor to employers He has deserted two wives and his child. To all these offenses he has been forced to confess but under a gruelling examination by. Richardson he has stuck to the story giving chap ter and verse. Possible witness after witness has been named and counsel for the defense state most positively that the pile of sworn testimony they will bring to contradict Orchard must convince the jury of the entire falsity Of his testimony
 By their questions they have plainly indicated their intention to prove that Orchard was a hired agent of the mine owners. who harrassed by the Western Federation, determined to wipe out union labor from the mines of Idaho and Colorado planned assassinations. train wrecks. and mine explosions that could be laid at the door of the Western Federation and would keep the militia on the ground while non union men worked in the mines. It has been shown under cross- examina- tion that Orchard trafficked with rail- road detectives in the mining region of Cripple Creek during the great strike there. while almost at the same time he was in the confidence of the leaders of the Western Federation.

sign of q nervous strain. He eats well and speaks without emotion of the events of the day.
