STUBBORN fight.
Charge Similar to One Ruef Pleaded
to-commIttee Of Business Men In
Control Of City Issues Statement
Grand Jury Reconvenes and More
Indictments May Be Expected.

San Francisco, May 20.-Eugene E
Schmitz, mayor of San Francisco, will

restaurant keepers. The charge is
similar to the one to which Abraham
Ruef pleaded guilty The state code
provides that the trial judge may at
the beginning of trial order the de-
PENDANT although under bond, placed
in custody. The matter rests entirely
in the discretion of the courts. 1t is
stated that the prosecution will ask
Judge Dunno to order Mayor Schmitz
into custody of an elisor. This will be
seriously opposed by the mayors at
tOrney.
Indicative of Mayor Schmitz's attor-
neys to pursue dilatory course is an
affidavit filed alleging that Judge
Dunno was prejudiced against the
mayor and asking that his case be
transferred to another court.
1t is further charged that Rudolph
Spreckels, the district attorney, the
board of supervisors and the news
papers have conspired to bring about
the ruin of the mayor.
The committee of seven business
men to whom Mayor Schmitz has CIV
en- full power to cope with the peculiar
situation brought about in municipal
affairs by the developments in the
graft investigation met today. An in
vitation has been extended to num-
Der of labor leaders to be present with
suggestions. The committee has is
sued declaration of principles in
which it says:
I'VE intend to bring about clean
condition of affairs in this community
and make it safe for habitation by hui
man beings and for the investment of
capital
I'VE shall do nothing in the nature
of class legislation and recognize that
every element in the community has
right to representation in the govern
ment of the city"
The grand jury has reconvened and
1t is stated by the prosecuting attor-
ney's Office a number of indictments
based on the testimony of 4-oraham

ers' strike is settled in the coal fields
and the supply of fuel is assured to
mines are increasing their tonnage and
will soon equal the production before
the labor trouble commenced, and
every one is looking forward to a per-
iod of good times.
Operating an electric tempo drill,
work has been resumed on the West
Hec,a claims near the Hecla mine at
Burke, Idaho. The work was started
in the tunnel, which formerly was
driven 80 feet The tunnel is being
driven on the ledge and it is calculated
before the rich ore is reached. This
will be at depth of between 500 and
1000 feet.
A mining deal, generally conceded
as the most important transaction af-
fecting British Columbia mines since
the sale Of the LIE Roi has been
closed by Jay P. Graves of Spokane
and his associates, in the consolida-
ton of the California and the Giant
mines near Rossland. Mr.. Graves and
his associates hold control of the new
company, which now owns both proper
ties. The new corporation, which has
capital stock of $5,O0O,000, divided
into fifty thousand shares of par

In the Occur d'AIenes.
More than one hundred and forty
eight million dollars in mineral wealth
has been taken from the Occur
d'Alenes since the district was first
opened as a mining center in 1884.
This vast sum represents the total out
put of lead, silver, copper, zinc, anti
mony and gold, and the figures are
compiled from government reports and
other reliable sources.
Work has been resumed on the Mel
lie group near Osborn. The mine
shipped about $4,000 worth of ore pri-
or to 1898.
The shaft on the Alice mine near
Mullan was deepened 80 feet during
the month of April, giving it a total
depth of 26O feet.

LOS Angeles mas progressed 0U Ieel,
and will be continued for 600 feet to
get under the big surface showing.
The Vienna & International mine
on Placer creek will begin shipments
within go days, the machinery neces-
sary to handling the ore having finally
arrived.
The ore in the Lucky Friday ledge,
recently cut at depth of $50 feet,
is proving richer in silver than any
ore ever found in the Occur d'Alene
district. The tunnel was in 624 feet

SENSATION AT BOISE.
Reporters Interviewed Orchard-Court

Judge Fremont Wood, who is presid-

Boise, directed the prosecuting attor-
ney of Ada county to make an investi-
cation Of the circumstances under
which Harry Orchard was interviewed
for publication and to take any legal
steps that his inquiry showed to be
warranted. Judge Wood drew atten-
ton to the publication of the interview
when he assembled the bench this
morning and his request of counsel for
advice as to the manner in which the
court should deal with the incident,
brought from the defense the charge
that Governor Gooding and certain
newspapers, moved by the disclosure
that there exists prejudice against
Orchard, had sought to influence the
jury by an attempt to bolster up the
credence that may be given to Or
chards story, and the suggestion that
Governor Gooding be cited for con-

Weather-Crop Bulletin
For week ending May 6, Il
naS MOinas To,

For week ending May 6, 1907
Des Moines, Iowa.
Another extremely cold week has
been added to the score of this abnor-
mally cool and dry season. The aver
age daily temperature of the past week
was to Is degrees below the normal.
Minimum temperatures of 18 degrees
were recorded at several stations on
the night of May Sd. On April 10Th ten
inches of snow fell in considerable por-
tions of the southern and central sec
tions; and snow f1urries were quite gem
eral on the Sd. The precipitation was
generally very light in the northern
section, and in the larger part of the
state there is deficiency of moisture.
This is the fourth consecutive week
of unseasonably low temperature, and
despite adverse conditions very good
progress has been made in farm work.
A large portion of the corn acreage has
been plowed, and is in fine condition
for planting. A considerable number
of farmers have begun planting, and
this work will be general as soon as the
weather becomes sufficiently warm to
insure ready germina tion.
There are conflicting reports from
the fields as to the extent of damage
caused by freezing weather. 1t is
probable that early fruit has suffered
materially. And possibly early seeded
wheat, oats and barley have been some
| what injured in some localities.

What Is Said in Nebraska.

There are many things said in Ne.
braska, but only few Of those sayings
are best. All preachers are supposed
to say nice things to all kinds of people,
since there is no kind of people that
can be won with caustic language.
Most preachers in Nebraska believe
that .;soft answer turneth away
wrath"
1t is amusing however to see the way
they keep secrets in Nebraska, espec-
tally in the country. They try to keep
secrets by talking over the phone with
the receivers all down and everybody
listening. Don't say anything about
John being turned out of school, then
goes catagog of his offenses and they
are all trying to keep it all private.
Public men say much too and Bryan
has said few things.
A lady in writing to her brother says
of new baby at their home, II have
made another donation to the matri-
monial contribution basket
Though there is water in the creeks,
and springs are in some places, yet
strange as it may seem, l did not hear
the frogs have anything to say. Per-
haps there are no frogs there. Fifty
years ago it was the "great American
desert" and too dry for anything like a
frog or anything that did not have hair
like buffalo. Frogs migrate by jumps
only and for that reason they have
probably been slow in doing their part
of occupation. In eastern Nebraska
heard the frogs croak all night how
ever. CYRUS SMITH.
