The work Of the jury in return
ing a verdict in 1he Wesley case
is baneved to have been the
shortest IN record in the annals
of criminal trials in the state.
The mem bers Of the jury were
out hrt twenty-soven minutes
when they returned q verdict of
guilty.
The case against Foornier was
given to the jury last evening at
5:45. At $40, the foremantf he
twelve men announc d that they
had agreed on verd ict, having
been out two hours and twenty
five minutes, a half hour of which
was used in eating supper at a

The word that the jury had
agreed on a verdict was soon be-
ing sent over the city, and in less
that fifteen minutes the court
room was crowded with an eager

Scheme to Secure Her City . eeauti- /
 ful Pleasure Ground.
 Had it not been for a woman's idea Bay City, Mich., would probably not now be preparing to convert a nine acre strip of river front, occupied by business houses, into a public park, says the Detroit Free Press. The wo- man is Mrs. Alfred B. Bousfield, wife of one of the wealthiest residents of Bay City. Mir. Bousfield is one of the three men who brought the $250,O0O hotel and auditorium project to sue cessful issue.
 The day the old Fraser House burned Mrs. Bousfield began talking park" in earnest to her husband. The latter be- came impressed with the idea, and he of the board of trade, and 0. A. Eddy, his associates in the hotel project. The three gentlemen presented the scheme to the public, and 1t was ratified at the polls election day by to vote.
 AS q result of Mrs. Bousfeld's idea the new hotel will cost $5O,00O more than originally planned, fourteen new business blocks in the business district are in the hands of the architects, over $4OO, 1000 has changed hands in down. town realty, business property has in- creased in value from 25 to 100 per cent, and buildings valued at $125,OOO are to be torn down.
 TntoroSt in tho hotel and mark DrODO- sition, however, had aroused people generally in matters of civic improve
 ment, and Mrs. Bousfield, always more or less interested in municipal improve
 ment work by local clubs, took lead ing part in the organization of the new Woman's Civic Improvement league. She threw open her home on Center
 avenue for meetings. to which women of all classes of society were invited. Other wives of wealthy men followed the example, and now the membership of the league is mounting rapidly to- l ward the thousand mark.
 Absolute democracy prevails among the members, and women who have never before known each other owing to differences in the social scale are working hand in hand. They have overthrown all municipal precedents, made q grand assault on the council and secured the aid of the city in clean
 ing up the town, the city furnishing
 the teams to haul away the accumula-
 ton Of winters debris from all pri- vate residences.

PAN.AMERICAN TROUBLE.MAKERS

The Pan-American trouble-kitchea seems to be preparing another unsav- ory ragout for the delectation of tha world The primary cause of the threatened trouble appears to be the ambition of President Zelaya of Nica- ragua to form a union of Central American States. It is only too evi- dent that the time is not ripe for such a movement. There is absolutely no indication that the peoples of the Gen. tral American States are desirous or, indeed, ready for such amalgamation
 Primarily, of course, any trouble in the Central American States falls upon our shoulders, and it is because of this that the United States has sent the cruiser Milwaukee to La Union, Sal yador, ostensibly for the protection of American interests" Just what form the outbreak will take, if it is to come, is problematical, but it seems tolerably certain that American naval vessels will remain in Central American wat CTS until things are quiet or the row develops. That something in the way of disorder may be expected soon is evident from the reports from various sources. Senor Mejia, Minister from Salvador, reports that his government fears that Nicaragua is planning an other expedition against it, and United States Minister Lee, at Guatemala City
 says that the situation at Salvador is disquieting and that both Guatema-

"Seeinq Is Believina."

The woman who sends money by mail for the purchase of goods misses one of the finest delights of buying, especially to woman. She must take what she gets without seeing it before hand. Frequently the disappointment is so great as to offset any small bar gain she may happen to get in price. She has no way of knowing that the goods are up to the standard adver- tised in the catalogue. On the other hand, when woman walks into the home store and the clerk steps up to do her bidding she has the whole stock to choose from, and it is her privilege to inspect thoroughly the goods she buys.

la and Salvador are sending troops to the frontier.
 It is evident that the greatest need of the Central American States is men -men big enough and able enough to unite the varied interests, and honest enough to resist the temptations offer ed, we are sorry to say, altogether too often by syndicates of American capl- talists, and others who are eager tu support any troublesome faction from whom valuable concessions may be gained.

THREE VIEWS OF PHILIPPINE POLICY.

Following Secretary Taft's able defense of our colonial policy on altruistic grounds, in his Decoration Day speech at St. Louis, MT. Bryan renews hls opposition to that policy in the Reader, presenting political objections to it., while Senator Rev. eradge in the same magazine, gives some frankly imperialistic and mili- tary reasons for the territorial ex- pansion beyond the seas. MT. Bry- an sees in our Cuban policy prece- dent which he thinks should be ap- piled to the Philippine problem. He would have us treat the Filipinos as we have treated the Cubans, and make them at once a pledge of in- dependence, the pledge to be fulfill ed when stable government in es- tablished," That he says is the only American plan. "It recognizes the principles of our government, is in harmony with the wishes of the Fill. ipinos, is justified by their capacity and is consistent with our commer- cal interests. @- '~
 Senator Beveridge bluntly dec clares that we have given the Fili- pinos too much self-government, and he strongly disapproves "going too fast in crowding New England's self-government down the throat of Malays who are not prepared to di- gest it. "The policy of this country, however, has been continually to increase the measure of self-govern- ment extended to the Filipinos, and
 is pursuance of this policy elections will be held this month for the first
 Philippine assembly. Secretary Taft
 has often stated that whenever the
 Flipinos are able to govern them-
 selves we should withdraw from-the
 islands, though he has recently ex-
 pressed thhe belief that they would prefer to retain some relationship to the United States as Canada has
 with Great Britain. It will be seen that the difference of opinion be- twen MT. Bryan and Secrtary Taft
 regarding our Philippine policy is
 not so great as the gulf between the
 views of MT. Bryan and Senator
 Beveridge.
 The question of Filipino indepen-
 dence is not altogether academic
 for it may be precipitated by <he
 new Philippine assembly. which
 meets in October. In his St. Louis speech MT. Taft predicted that the majority of the newly elected mem bers of the assembly would declare 1 in favor of immediate independence. 1 He thought this would be quite nat ural, but hoped that after having given vent to their feelings on this sub- Ject, and having presented re- spectful petition to congress there on, would settle down to business of more pressing practical conse- quence. It may be surmised that one of the principal objects of MT. Tafts' approaching visit to the Philippines will be to direct the expected ebuli- tion of sentiment for independence into harmless channels, and if he gets off with a"respectful petition to congress" he may count himself lucky. here isn't any question about the fate oI such petition at the Capitol, with our Cuban experience fresh in the minds of Congress.

A captured Turkish officer on being led forth to execution asked for glass of water before he died. On receiving it he looked uneasily around, as if afraid of assassination.

 Instantly the commanders word was given the prisoner dashed the water on the sandy ground and thereby saved his lfe

A new CAMP
NEAR WONDER.
CHURCHILL co.
OLD MINING SECTION ATTRACT.
ING SOME ATTENTION NOW
AND PROMISES MORE.
THE ORE IS SILVER BEARING
The Section is Well Wooded And
Water is Plentiful For All
Purposes.

Following the report of the strike
in Eleven Mile canyon and the re-
turn of the first crowd who had made
the original rush, a representative of
The Wonder Miner made the trip
across the intervening desert and
canyons for the purpose of inspecting
the district and seeing what there
was to the discovery. The section
is. not new or unknown, as it has
been prospected for years and in
times past many locations have been
made all of which with but few OK
ceptions have been abandoned by the
original locators, but the ledge on
which the present strike was made
had been apparently overlooked by
the men who have visited the district
previously. The country is we'll
wooded, with water from springs
sufficient to supply large camp and
by little manipulation a sufficiency
for milling purposes can be easily
secured, requiring but small
amount of piping to connect enough
of the sources to make a consider
able surplus.
The country is steep and rugged
but not exceedingly difficult to nego-
tiate, burros finding very easy going
in the hill trails while good wagon
road can be made direct to the scene
of the strike.
The veins have a general north
west and southeast trend and appear
to consist of parallel system lying
usually on the western slopes of the
range which here is series of erupt-
ives several miles wide.
The rock is silver-bearing quartz
between rhyolites and andesite with
the andesite forming the foot wall,
and on the strike itself where the
discoveries have done considerable
work in opening the vein it shows
about "a inches in width.

HILLS OF OLD
WHITE PINE RICH
IN MINERAL
NO BETTER FIELD ANYWHERE
FOR EXPENDITURES OF CAP +,
ITAL AND LABOR.
NO MISTAKE GAN BE MADE
Other Sections My BE Dull But Work
Goes On In Robinson Canyon
Just The Same.

While the heated term is on and
many people are taking their summer
outings I doubt if there is a mining
section anywhere in the state that
presents the same vitality and push
that is displayed in White Pine
county. More particularly is this
true of Robinson district, where sew
eral properties have passed from the
stage of uncertainty to one of abso-
lutte surety. The Nevada Con. hold
ings, the Giroux property at Kimber-
ly, the Mechanically and several
other groups, have been sufficiently
developed to put them without the
pale of doubt. All that remains nee
essary to make of them wealth pro-
dncing properties is the facilities for
reducing the ore already exposed. To
tell of the enormous wealth of cop
per ore already blocked out in this
district would be but repeating a
story often told. Besides the mines
already developed there are many
now undergoing the stage of develop
ment and soon dozens of properties
that are yet unknown to the world
will be made dividend payers Cher
ry Creek, Hamilton, Ward, Taylor,
Seigel, Black Horse, Osceola, Bald
Mountain, Mizpah, Dolly Warden,
and many other districts in the coun-
ty present large field for idle cap
ital and labor to make good" In
my Judgment there is no section of
the United States that gives such
promise to labor and capital as does
the hills and mountains of White
Pine. The day will come when White
Pine can boast of population of half
million people. The surface of this
county has hardly been touched as
yet. When every possibility has been
developed, when every acre of the
county's now barren waste land has
been reclaimed and made productive
and Is dotted with school houses and
happy homes those who follow me
can say that this picture was not ov-
erdrawn. l can see in my minds eye
many large cities in White Pine; /
can see many mining properties yet
untouched being worked at a profit.
| can see the land that only needs
water to make it productive, re-
claimed and busy farmers harvesting
big crops of all the crops that are
known to the temperate zone. I can
see the knocker of today in his cask-
ct, and can hear other knockers
striking wildly at White Pines great
future, but away beyond it all I can
see wonderfully bright outlook for
White Pine.

COPPER MAR
KET IN EAST CON-
TINUEs DULL
THE MARKET FOR RED METAL.
is STILL UNSETTLED AND
WILL REMAIN so.
CHAOTIC CONDITIONS EXISTING
A Steady Decline in Copper and in
Copper StOcks-Cool Weather
May Bring a Revival.

A telegram from Boston, the CEN
ter of nearly all copper operations,
says:
Chaotic conditions still character
ize the market for copper. There is
absolutely no sign of any large buy
ing movement for future delivery,
and the consumers, large and small
alike, are still feeling their way along
cautiously and buying only from day
to day in sufficient quantities to keep
their plants employed on such orders
as are received.
The market for manufactured
goods into which copper enters is
also more or less demoralized. The
manufacturer is asked to quote prices
on wire and brass goods for delivery
next January, but is compelled to
confess his inability to name cures,
owing to the uncertainty existing
with respect to the price at which he
will be able to buy his raw material
copper.
An interest affiliated with the Unit
ed Metals Selling company, and who
keeps we'll posted on trade cOndi-
lions, says: 1--WE are hopelessly in
the dark with respect to the copper
outlook. The metal is beginning to
accumulate in the hands of the pro-
ducing interests and it is difficult at
the moment to say at what figure
large quantities can be moved
Another press dispatch says: There
has been a decline in the quotations
of copper shares from the high point
of the year which cannot be justified
by any loss in the earning power of
the producing properties. To be sure,
there has been a nominal reduction
of three cents per pound from the
26 cent level, but it should be re-
membered that the amount of copper
sold at the extreme high prices was
very small, as during the short peri
cd of accent copper, deliveries were
being made in many instances of
metal sold all the way from 10 to
23 cents per pound.
Money.
The excess of expenditures of the
United States government during
July over revenues is smaller than
the deficit for July, 1906. The ex-
penditures were larger, but the in
crease in revenues exceeded the in
crease in expenditures. The treasury
expects surplus for Au-
gust and September. There is no
reason at present apparent why the
record of the last fiscal year should
not be exceeded during the current
fiscal year with surplus in every
month unless there should
be relapse in business prosperity.

AN OLD CAMP AND A GOOD ONE

The Cherry Creek mining compan-
les are working their properties and
the condition in and around Cherry
is more substantial than it has been
before in years. 1t will take time to
develop the property now being
worked, and in the meantime the
people will have to wait for some
thing to develop.
Cherry is one of the oldest camps
in White Pine and has in years past
produced much wealth and the day
is not far distant when Cherry will
again become an important factor in
the worlds output of gold.

Will Probably Be Close Game, As

For The Event.

The baseball game Sunday at Lane
City, between the Ely team and the
bonch from the Shelter, will no
doobt be feature of the day.
The home team will make few
changes in their batting order and
the shake-up in fielding positions will
surely tend to strengthen the general
play of the club.
The Shelters have framed up n
strong team and are practicing every
day, and as result the club has been
whipped into good shape.
There is no question but that the
meet will be good one, and large
attendance of fans is anticipated
