Ouaker'S Action
In ConfeSSing

The disclosures Philadelphia jock
O'Brien has been making in a New
York paper about the crooked fights in
which he took part and insinuating that
all prize fighting is crooked, are but
repetitions Of what he wrote for paper
on the Pacific Coast. shortly after his
hasco with Tommy Burns in Los Ange-
les. but they are causing much talk.
On all sides the feeling is that O'Brien
IL not only a self-confessed CRATER but
a dog in the manger, who is publishing
his alleged honest confessions merely as
a savage and underhand attack on the
game by which he made his money, and
made himself the most despised sport
ing character in the country He can
accomplish no good and is hurting what
IS really one Of the most useful Of Amer
ican sports. is the way in which the
followers of boxing regard the compla-
cent sneers Of the Pbiladelphian.
One Of His Few Knocks.
Among those who expressed them
selves forcibly on the subject were John
L Sullivan and JAKE Kilrain. who are
appearing in Washington this week
Sullivan is a much more brainy and
crafty individual than many people
think His game is 20 boost. not knock.
and. aside from characteristic and hu-
merous side filings at the opponents Of
fighting. he seldom says anything that
would make an enemy. but he is hot
under the collar about O'Brien. and eX-
pressed himself freely.

The suggestion Of President Pulliam.

POINTED PARAGRAPHS.

Don't hunt trouble. It will find you. There is not the slightest sense back of a great deal of hope.
 When a man talks about his princi- pies, he usually means his prejudices.
 There isn't great deal of sunshine In the smile a man produces when he loses.
 A man Is always willing to lend a helping hand, but he does hate to lend money.
 The man who wants to sell 1t Is usu- ally the one who has the least political influence.
 The man who brags usually has a lot to say about the things he is going to do. What he has done is far less important.

BROPHY BROTHERS IN
 | LOWER CALIFORNIA
Getting Good Results From An Old But Rich Copper Mine
 On Peninsula.

DOUGLAS. May 1.-(Special. )--
 Mike Brophy. who was in the city yesterday from Bisbee, has just re- turned from Lower California, the Mexican territory, where he and his brother, James Brophy, of the Brophy Carriage company of this city, have eztensfve mining interests. They have a copper mine of fair-sized proportions from which they are taking some very high grade ore, averaging per cent copper. The ore is treated at their own smelter, the construction of which was completed about two months ago and the matte of about 45 per cent Is packed overland to the coast and from there shipped 10 Ia coma.
 The Brophy brothers acquired this mine about seven years ago, but only recently began working it. It is an old mine. having been worked about twenty-seven years ago. When Mes SITS. Brophy saw the property seven years ago it appealed to them as be- ing a promising one and they bought it. When this was done they found they had . litigation on their hands On account of this they could do no work on the property until ccmpa-. atiyely short time ago when the cloud in the title was removed and they became the undisputed owners. They at once began development work and conditions were found so satisfactory that they determined to build a smelt. CT, This was completed about two months ago.
 The mine is at San Fernandez, about 250 miles south of San Diego. California. which is tke closest rail- road point. It is on the western side of the peninsula and about twenty miles from the coast. From the mine to the company's shipping point it is about thirty-nine miles. It is to here the copper matte is hauled and from there shipped to Tacoma for treat ment

COPPER PRICES STIFF.

Special wire to Duey & Overlook ]
 BOSTON, May LA bid ot 23 %-ic has been refused for several million pounds of copper deliveries extending over two or three months. Inquiries this week for Lake copper have brought forth replies that the metal at least in some quarters is not ob- tainable for any price under 26c. The leading sellers and refining interests believe that within two weeks at least there should be good demand for coppers calling for deliveries in July, August and Sept. An interest ing feature of the market which has just come to light is the discovery that one or two large consumers an ticipating a concession in prices are still short of May copper. and require ments must yet be adjusted, although up to the present time there has been no intimaiion of covering.
