INTERESTING BALL
GAME WILL BE
SEEN TOMORROW

The baseball game to be played by
the Ely team and the Railroaders from
Ely city at the new diamond at Ely
city tomorrow afternoon beginning at
2:30 o'clock, promises to be the most
interesting played by these teams
since their organization.
The umpire will be w. f. Peterson.
This will be of interest to those who
saw the first game between the two
teams at Lane City several weeks ago.
In the middle of the game a dispute
arose over a decision, and the players
threatened to stop the game A vol
unteer umpire was asked for. and tall
man, roughly dressed broke through
the line of spectators on the side lines
and said that he would umpire the
game.
play ball" he cried, as the players
were still "ragging."
And they played ball. When the
first bail spun over the plate the play
ers and the crowd realized that they
had an umpire who not only knew the
game, but who would not be bluffed.
At the end of the game the man
dropped out of sight and was not seen
again for several weeks. He has been
located however, and has consented to
act tomorrow His name is w. f. Pet
erson.
Charles r. Reeves, catcher, has
agreed to play with the Railroaders to-
morrow to fill vacancy. Reeves
record extends from Purdue, Boise, Po-
catello, Indianapolis, and the old days
in Ely. He is muscular and athletic,
and after the first two or three innings
1t is believed, can handle any pitcher
without "spilling a drop"

Jury Service

SAN FRANCISCO, May 24.-SiX of the
II jurors who will try Mayor Eugene
Schmitz on the charge of eXtorting
money from proprietors of French res
taurants have been finally selected and
sworn and the prospect is that the jury
will be completed by the middle of next
week The feature of today's pro-
cedings was the examination of Tales
man Charles w. Welch, senior member
of the Weber Company, furniture deal

The inquiry into Welchs fitness to Try
the mayor resolved itself into n heated
battle between Special Prosecutor Hi

fessed in answering a series of ques-
tions by the prosecution that he had
sought and obtained the Friendship"

successful biddings on municipal sup

that he not only had given money to
the campaign of District Attorney

WATER FROM MINES WILL
NOW PRODUCE COPPER
Ely Witch Trys Experiment and Collects Ninety
Per Cent of Copper Contained in the Flow
From Workings

| 1t has been demonstrated that the
waters flowing through and from be-
meath the ore bodies of the district, are
so thoroughly impregnated with cop
per, that they are of high commercial
value.
Heretofore the waters flowing from
the various mine workings in the dis
trict, have been allowed to go to waste.
With depth, the mines strike heavy
flows of water. which In some eases
has retarded the work of development.
In the past the handling of the water
from the depths has been dead loss.
but the Ely Witch company has struck
"A solution to the problem of handling
this water, which will not only relieve
the company of the burden of expense
but will give them n profit as we'll.
The finding of "A miners hammer In
an abandoned chamber of the Witch
work ings short time ago, coated with
copper, with nodules of the red metal
clinging to every part of its surface
gave to the management the idea that
the water could be used.
Accordingly n week ago the first
unit of what will eventually be a large

an experiment. The unit consists of
two watert tight tanks four feet in
width, eight feet long and two feet in
depth. These tanks are lined with zinc
and are then filled with the water from
the mine. Into the bottom of the tanks
are thrown quantities of tin cans and
other scrap tin.
The chemical action of the water on
the zinc. precipitates the copper to the
tin, which is coated with plating of
the pure metal. The tin can then be
removed from the tank, and the cop
per easily separated from the baser
metals. Ihe water Is removed from

IS THE STRIKERS
LATEST RESORT

SAN FRANCISCO, May 24.-The
United Railroads operated 200 cars on
2S lines with the force of strike
breakers brought here by the company.
1t was announced tonight that all but
one line of the companys electric sys-
tenn would be in operation tomorrow.
According to the officials of the Unit
ed Railroads, about 1850 persons are
now patronizing the cars This is still
considerably less than half the normal
number of passengers daily carried by
the company. The striking carmen
claim to have 80 busses in operation
and which are well patronized.
The center of disturbance today was
in the Potrero district, in the southern
part of the city. About 4 o'clock this
afternoon a crowd of strike sympa-
thizers attacked a car at Twentieth
and Key streets Ed Glenn, the strike
breaking motorman on the car, was
struck on the head with a brick and
is in a critical condition at Central
Emergency hospital. The car was
badly wrecked. Manuel Silva, a strik-
ing carman and Dan Mccarthy, la
borer, were arrested on suspicion of
having thrown the missile which
struck Glenn and are being held by the
police pending the results of the lat
ter's injuries. Two women, passengers
on the car, are also said to have been
seriously injured, but it is alleged they
were spirited away.
A tin can containing gun cotton was
found this morning on the car tracks
at 18th and Minnesota streets by Ser
geant of Police Blank.
There were many minor disturbances
today in the district south of Market
street Distractions were placed on
the tracks and crews We're continuously
stopping to remove them. In the west

PRICES OF STOCKS
RECOVER IN WALL
Street TRADING

NEW YORK, May 24-The stock
market was comparatively free from
pressure today and this opened the
way for the slow recovery in prices
which took place. The small volume
and the slight urgency of the demand
were striking, in view of the assertions
advanced for some time of the Iimen
sions of the short interest. which was
being built up. The conspicuous show
of strength in todays trading was re-
duced to about half a dozen stocks,
which are always the favorte medium
of operations by the highly speculative
element on the stock exchange. The
difference of the damend. with the ces-
sation of the active pressure to liqui-
date today in the face of this techni-
cal index of a large outstanding short
interest aroused some suspicion of
borrowing of stocks against sales that
are really sold in liquidation in order
to conceal the appearance of liquida-
tion. Recent sales of stocks here for
foreign account also are believed to
have been large and it is customary in
such cases to borrow stock for de-
livery pending the arrival of the certi-
ficates from abroad, thus increasing
the appearance of large existing
short interest. The cessation of liqui-
dation in stocks for which there Is
broad and active market left some of
the less active issues to be disposed
Of The wide declines recorded in
some of the usually dormant stocks
was a feature of the day The news of
the day to which most Importance was
attached was that of more favorable

gions.
