waited for a time in the hope of
hearing the verdict. No session of
court was held yesterday afternoon,
on account of the illness of Juror
Stahl, but he recovered sufficiently
for the trial to proceed last night.
Pettibone was a sick man during the
day, but insisted upon the trial being
concluded. 1t was necessary to carry
him to the courtroom last night.
Hawley GrilIs COnspiratOrs
Hawley began his address by refer
ring to the sudden termination of the
case which left Darrow's opening
statement, a tumble of broken prom
ises.
He said barrow had promised to
show that Orchard was the most mon
umental liar of the age, but instead
his testimony was uncOntradicted, ex-
cept in the Bradley explosion Incl
dent, and the dispositions, when fully
understood, corroborated and ex-
planned Orchards testimony. why
did they not put on the stand the
great array of witnesses brought
from distant states, who sat in the
courtroom day after day?" asked
Hawley. 1T was because they dared
not do it. They dared not, with the
testimony of these witnesses at the
Haywood trial on record subject to
the cross-examintion."
Orchards Evidence mistaken.
The evidence of Orchard was next
taken up and the prosecutor said that
under ordinary circumstances such a
story would be taken with a grain of
allowance, but the appearance and
oemeanor of the witness, who neither
Tried to shield himself nor add to his
crimes, gave the impression that he
was telling the exact truth.
For two days." he said, Orchard
was cross-examined by one of the
country's most able criminal lawyers
VINO had the testimony of Haywood
before him, but the witness was not
shaken, and on two occasions forced
MS questioner to admit that he was
telling the truth, when it had been
enarged that he had contradicted
himself"
The law in the case was discussed
length by Mr.. Hawley, especially
'ne proof required to establish a con.

urging that the law was repealed by
the railroad rate law passed by con-
gress. The supreme court has also
set for argument next week the case
involving whether the land owned by
the University of the South at Sewa-

der the laws of that state.
Two Cent Fare Law.
Another case involving the power
of the federal courts to interfere in
the execution of state railroad rate
laws will be taken up by the United
States supreme court on Monday,
when the federal judges for the dis
trict of Nebraska are ordered to APP
pear and show cause why a writ of
madamus, asked for by the state offlc-
ials of Nebraska to prevent interfer-
ence with the enforcement of the two
cent fare law, should not issue.
Return to Prosperity.
1t is estimated that not less than
100000 men, who have been idle for
several weeks owing to the shut down
of plants in the great industrial cen
tiers of the country will return to
work. In the steel mills and factories
of the Pittsburg district alone about
10000 men will share in the return
ing prosperity. In Cleveland at least
10000 men will resume work at their
former occupations, and hundreds of
great factories and mills In other cit

Worry Over Cause.
PORTLAND, Ore, Jan. A
special from Vancouver, b. c., to the
Oregonian says:
The unexplained arrival of 800
Japanese today in Vancouver and the
prospect of an influx of another 1900
within the next month from Honolulu
are the features of the Oriental sit
uation in Vancouver Why the 800
Japanese came to Vancouver is a
mystery. All morning they poured
into town from coast logging camps
and some even from the boundary
line. Tonight there is the usual crop
of rumors that they came in view OF
possible trouble, and officers of the
Asiatic Exclusion league are much
perturbed over the event.
Today 1t was announced that at
least 1000 Japanees would come from
Hawaii during the next three weeks.
So far no action has been taken by
the police or other authorities toward
the disarming of the Japanese. 1t is
estimated that there are hundreds
OF serviceable firearms in the Japan.

spiracy. Before the adjournment
for the noon recess a review of the
corroborative evidence was begun.
In closing, Mr.. Hawley argued that
every circumstance in the evidence
pointed to the guilt of Pettibone.
Calling the list of the score of men
killed by Orchard, the prosecutor said
that every one was an enemy of the
Western Federation of Miners, and he
said that during that time no friend
of the federation met his death
through violence. He said that while
Orchard was, he concluded, one of
the worst criminals of the century,
he regarded those who hired him as
vastly worse than he. He went over
the documentary evidence which, he
said, proved the defendants guilt.
Mr.. Hawley concluded at $40, and
Judge Wood asked Juror Stahl, who
has been i'll, If he felt able to proceed
tonight
YES" answered Stahl; Il would
like to hear the other side"
The remark was passed and Judge
Wood proceeded with the reading of
his instruction.
The instructions differed to some
extent from those given in the Hay
wood trial. Judge Wood held that
If satisfied of the acts of conspiracy
to kill enemies of the Western Fed
grafton; that the defendant was a
member of such conspiracy; that
Steunenberg was regarded as an en-
envy of the Western Federation of
Miners, and that his murder was a re-
suit of the conspiracy, the defendant
should be found guilty. The jury
was instructed If these facts were
proven it was not necessary to show
that the defendant was cognizant of
the crime charged in the indictment
at the time it was committed The
jury was instructed that the accu-
sation must be corroborated by in
dependent testimony tending to con-
meet the defendant with the crime
charged, but said that such corrobo-
ration need not of itself be sufficient
to prove the guilt of the accused.
The reading of the instructions was
concluded at $3.50 o'clock and the
jury retired for consideration of the
case.

COPPER MARKET IS
 LOOKING BETTER
Slight Advance Seems To Be Due To Exhaustion of the
 Metal Surplus.

Copper hhs been slightly Timer. Lake is now IS, and electrolytic 1s 7-s cents per pound. It is understood that sales during the past three weeks az gregated 6o.000,000 pounds. and that approximately all the copper above the ground has now been sold. Foreign manufacturers have been the largest buyers, but domestic consumers have taken more copper than for long time latter, however, are exceedingly sraall, and it appears that they have not yet sufficient confidence in the business future of this country to buy in ex- cess of their immediate demands.
 This undeniably is a period of un- certainty in the business world. Every body is disposed to await the definite developments of this particular stage of the presidential campaign. After it is known whom the candidate of the dominant party will be, there prob ably will be a marked improvement in business. A consideration of all the factors in the metal market leads me to believe that the price of copper will gradually advance. and that it will reach Is cents before the end of the year.
 The recent buying demand which has caused the advance in coppers has come from those who are com monly termed insidersEthe men who have the largest intersest in the cop per producing business and who are in the best position to analyze future business prospects. The public hat not been a factor in the market since the Roosevelt message and Bryal speech of three or four weeks ago Butte stocks are being bought in An ticipation of resumption of opera tions at the several mines and the Washoe suelter; and they are likeiy to be the speculative faVorites for soms time to come.

Manager of Cerro Colorado Outlines Plans For Develop ment of Well Known MeM- can Property.

MORALES, March 11.-George B. Earnshaw. for the Cerro Colorado Mining company, is putting in eight Chilli mills. expressly built for the company. weighing over forty tons each. that are intended to crush 150 tons of ore per day through 8 thirty mesh screen. There are three of them now being loaded on wagons at Santa Ana station. and the rest will be along in 8 day or two. They differ from other Chili mills in that they have four instead of three rollers or crush CTS. each one oi which weighs about 7.50e pounds They have a 10-incn face, shod with chrome steel and work on q three ton die They are oy,a seven feet in diameter and have screens all around and should do the work
 If these work out all right. Earn show said that he was in shape to put in from eight to twenty-four more, gradually increasing his capacity to 5.00e or 5000 tons per twenty-four hours.
 Cerro Colorado is 56 miles west by good wagon road, from Santa Ana. On the souta side of the mountain, E. F. tue SDluAG1D 4hlAhAAS company, made a nice profit amalga- mating and cyaniding ore that carried $50 ton in gold. That ore was work ed out and operations discontinued by Harris less than year ago.
 Many mining men have examined and passed mp the east and west side of the red mountain where Earn shaw will mine. Shortage of tonnage was not the cause, as there is an i'm mense amount of the low grade ore exposed, but it will be both interest ing and instructive to learn if Earn shaw can earn g profit where ot1ers failed to figure it possible.
 Water is brought to the mine and mill site from Cienega, a distance of about six miles, through eight inch spiral riVeted pipe. Wood will be used for Fuel, and can be had some miles distant from the property in al most unlimited quantity. Success by MT.

MORALES, Ariz., March I5.--The Jacolitos Mining company, which has a fine property in the Afamos district, about 35 miles eastward from the city of Alamos, will erect ten-stamp mill upon the property just as soon as the machinery can arrive and be assem- bled.
 J. Nelson Nevius, the well known mining engineer, is expecting to visit the western part of the Altar district shortly, ito make a mine examination. He may come via Nogales and Santa Ana, in which case he will be at the line city day. But it is quite proba- ble that ne will go in vio GiIa Bend.

VAL LIABLE MINE IS

 CHIHUAHUA, riarch 10.-The stat us of what is known as the Potosi mine deal at Sta Eulaiia is the topic of most interest in this city and state to mining men and every one, by req son of it's great magnitude, sS,OO0,0OO gold, and it's importance to the. state. The deal is made, without doubt, and it is evidently a questioning of financ- ing it for it no doubt calls for more ready cash than any mining deal every contemplated or consummated in all Mexico. It is generally conceded that the Chas. NJ. Scnwab syndicate has practically closed it's deal for the pur- chase of the Potosi mine and the Chi huahua Mining company's properties in Sta. Eulalia. How far the financing of the deal has gone is not known here. However, it is known that the Chihua- hua Mining company and the Potosi Mining company passed their pay day last Saturday for the first time, those concerns having received orders from New York headquarters, no doubt, car rying it over to Tuesday night of this week. This would indicate that last Wednesday marks the beginning of the new ownership, ,Fbut so far the em- ployes of the two companies named seem to know nothing. It is also known that there has been great deai of checking up and even inventories are being taken, if is said, of both the Chihuahua Mining and Potosi com panies.

The most impor- tant news was the report to the eff feet that an increase in freight rates will be permitted and good buying re- suited.

 The market today has been the best in two or three weeks, over million and eight shares having chang ed hands in the New York market. Everything points to an advance in the price of copper, and as natural consequence in the price of copper stocks, and as we have already ad- vised, now is the time to get in at the low figures when all the insiders are going in. Superior & Pittsburg and Greene should be taken at once, as they are likely to advance with the price of copper. Denn and Wolverine & Arizona are also excellent invest ments at present figures.
