pages.
The principal chapter of the book,
devoted to detailed descriptions of
the copper mines of the globe has
1855 pages, describing no less than
6767 copper mines and copper COM
panies in all parts of the world, com
pairing with 1927 listed in the pre-
ceeding editions. This long chapter,
which was unrevised in volume VII,
owing to fire. accident and illness,
has been completely rewritten even
the obituaries of the defunct COM
uanies having been improved by the
addition of neat verbal tombstones.
The price of the copper handbook
is IS, in a strong green buckram
binding, and the selling plan is
unique, as the book is sent to any
one ordering it, from any part of the
globe, without a penny IN advance,
the purchaser preparing carriags
charges and allowing the purchaser
a weeks inspection. and accepting
the return of the book in settlement
of the charge, if upon inspection, 1t
does not prove satisfactory. That
this plan is successful is proven by
the fact that it has been followed
for six consecutive years and that
the Copper Handbook now circulates
in every country that has a postage

MASON LOOKING
THE BEST YET
Engineer Humphreys has
Excellent Report to Give
on Return From Mine

The Salt Lake Telegram says:
Lew Humphreys consulting engineer
of the Mason Valley Mining COM
pany, has returned from an inspec-
ton of the property. He says the
company is obtaining gratifying re-
suits, from development work in that
district, especially in the Mason Val
ley, where the ore bodies are ex-
panding in the lower levels and the
same high average, of values is main
tanned. The mine is better than it
has ever been at any previous time,
and the management is better pleas
ed with prospects of the big mining
proposition than ever.
The railroad from Wabuska is be-
ing constructed rapidly and Mr..
Humphreys is confident that it will
be the means of livening up the min
ing industry in that section. He
says the spur is destined to open up
a large mineralized territory, and
that heavy shipments will be made
over this line for a long period. 1t
is understood that with the, compile
ton of the railroad material for the
smelling plant at Mason will be in
order, and that the construction will
follow within a short time. Then the
Mason Valley will begin to market
it's first copper ore.
The Neyada-Douglas will probably
begin shipping from it's Ludwig mine
as soon as the railroad is completed.

NEW RULE FOR CAREY ACT.
Land Board Will Confiscate Checks
If No Improvement is Made.

SALT LAKE, Oct. 29.-Within
a few days the state board of land
commissioners, inaugurating a new
system of applying for public lands,
will return certified checks amount
ing to several thousands of dollars to
the owners with instructions to file
the checks again, in compliance with
the law, if they care to have land
segregated under the Carey land act.
Some of the checks to be returned
have been in the safe of the land
board for several years. and the COM
panies filing them have done abso-
lutely nothing with the land, but
have kept the state from taking ac-
ton. 1t will be insisted that the
land be not asked forNunless the
companies intend to do real 1reclama-
ton work. E.HDI88

of several years." said VIII H..

bond that the company will really do

Inspiration to the Front
With Good Advance. All
the EIys Show up Strong

The market yesterday justified ex-
pectations held for advance. 1t oc-
Cured all along the line, there be-
ing strong toned response from top
to bottom. Whatever causes may
have been responsible for the bear
activity of a week ago., they have
disappeared. Ely Central shared
honors in advance yesterday with
Giroux and Nevada Con. Cumberland
Ely pulled up in sympathy with Con.
Inspiration was also on deck for
business. Fine reports from the mine
recently and the rapid Roadway In
blocking out ore, which is increas-
ing in percentage of copper as the
drifts and crosscuts extend, have
started this stock for a higher level
than it has previously made.
In the local market it was q hot
day. Ely Witch and Mcdonald Ely
rumors livened things up for those
stocks and the tip was out strong
during the latter half of the day to
take these on to the limit. Ely Calu-
met also came in for a share OF the
boosting. This stock and Mcdonald
Ely, it is now said, will be put on, the
New York curb, and participate in a
big campaign in which Ely Northern
will also have part. The three stocks
look like a good hand for quick re-
turns and are being taken hold of by
the local public in that way.

so, as the investing public are just
beginning to realize that the Ely

summated here some time last night,
when the friends of Fred Wisdom, ar
rested yesterday on Indian creek on
a charge of stealing horses in Baker
county, broke the lock on the Jail
door and abetted the escape Of the
prisoner. No posse has been formed
and little effort will be made to cap
ture the fellow.
Wisdom was brought to Elgin yes
terday evening and incarcerated in
the city bastile awaiting the arrival
of Sheriff Rand of Baker county, un-
der whose orders the arrest had been
made. Presumably at o'clock this
morning the lock of the Jail was
broken from the outside by the use
of heavy bar. A friend or friends
of the prisoner did the work.
This morning Rand was notified
but he informed the Union county Of
cials that under the conditions the
case was not worthy of time and ex-
pense in recapture.

CLOTHING STOLEN WHILE
PASSENGER SLEEPS

Oakland, Ore-A daring robbery
occurred on southbound Southern
Pacific train No. Is Wednesday
morning between here and Drain. A
passenger on one of the Pullmans left
his window up to admit air to the
berth, and upon awakening soon after
the train left Drain missed a part of
his clothing. and upon investigating
found his coat and vest gone, to-
gether with a gold watch and a pack
age of valuable papers which were in
the pockets of the coat that had been
hung near the open window.
The train waits at Drain to couple
on a second engine, and it is supposed
that some tramp must have taken
the opportunity to snatch them
through the window and escape in
the darkness. No trace of the thieA
has been found as yet.
The watch was hunting case.
with elk head on the back, and the
clothes were dark brown.

According to Travelling Passenger
Agent Jack O'Neill, who is in Pendle-
ton today, the Elks' train which will
be made up at Baker City June and
carry the eastern Oregon Elks to the
big national convention at Los An

Baker City and will start from that
point. At the start there will be four
standard Pullman sleepers, a chair
car, bagge car and diner. Another
car will be picked up at La Grande,
one at Pendleton and two at The
Dalles. This will complete the train.
The train will probably leave Baker
about o'clock in the evening and
will arrive at Pendleton sometime
that night, picking up the carload
here as it goes by. The entire train
will be a veritable hotel on wheels,
everything being supplied by the
company that the comfort or desires

LAWSON'S DAUGHTER
TO MARRY CHICAGO MAN

Boston. - Announcement will be
made tomorrow of the engagement
of Miss Marion Lawson, second daugh-
ter of Thomas w. Lawson, to James
Fuller Lord, of Chicago. Miss Law
son returned today to her fathers
magnificent home, Dreamwold, at Sci
tuate. from a trip through Maine. and
at the dinner table this evening in
formed the family of her engagement.
The wedding has been set for June
80. The engagement meets with the
hearty approval of Miss Lawsons
family, who have regarded with the
utmost favor her acquaintance and
friendship with her fiance since their
first meeting in Chicago year and
half ago.
Both the young people are lovers of
horses and have earned considerable
celebrity through their ability as rid
ers. Mr.. Lort is a member of hunting
and riding clubs about Chicago and It
was on a visit to that city in which
Miss Lawson took part in run of one
of the clubs that she first met her fu-
ture husband.
Some years ago when her father was
competing in all the large horse
shows Of the country, she drove many
of the horses exhibited in the ring,
and many of the blue ribbons in the
Dreamwold collection were won quite
as much by her skillful handling of the
reins as by the excellency of the ami
mails themselves.

RECESS IN WARNER
YOUNG WILL CONTEST

An adjournment until $50 O'Clock
tomorrow morning, was taken this af-
ternoon at o'clock, in the Warner
Young will contest case. The reason
for tho adjournment was the compile
tion of the Warner side of the case
and the fact that the other side was
unprepared TO proceed with the intro
duction of their testimony.
Today's witnesses for Mrs. Warner
were Mr.. Stacey, husband of Della
Stacey, who witnessed the signing Of
the will by ner father and Rose Cool
ey. Stacey corroborated his wife's
narrative in many particulars while
Cooley testified to having heard
Young say before his death that he
intended to give his property or por-
ton of it, to Mrs. Warner.
At $3.50 tomorrow morning the 9TH
er heirs of the estate will take up the
task of proving that the alleged will
is not genuine but very clever for
gerry. 1t is believed the first thing
will be the attempt to impeach the
testimony OF Mrs. Della Stacey and
Attorney S. V. Knox, the star witnesses
for Mrs. Warner.

SERVE LEMONADE ON
FLOOR OF SENATE

Washington.-Lemo not of the
pink" variety, but made with plenty
OF lemons, mo. 16 Dutch standard
sugar and much mineral water, is to
be the poplar beverage at the CAPT.
tol among the distinguished members
of the United State senate.
Following closely on the warm col
loquy over the lemon schedule in the
senate yesterday, it developed that the
statesmen in the upper house of con-
gress want fine lemonade to quench
their thirst during the tariff debate.
That the beverage will be on tap in
large quantities after today is the di-
rect result Of good natured "kick"
registered by Senator Gollnger at yes
terday's session.
Some senators curiously inquired If
this was an antagonistic step against
the water wagon, whereupon 1t was ex-
planned. that the demand for lemonade
was prompted by the fact that the duty
on lemons will soon be increased so
per cent and that IL senators are to
enjoy the drink at all, now is the time
to get most satisfaction out of 1t at
least cost.

STUDENTS ADOPT BEAR
AS CLUB MASCOT

Eugene, Ore.-The traditional mas
cot Of college men, the bull dog, is in
danger of becoming a back number
at the University Of Oregon. The new
rival Of the canine pets is a young
cinnamon bear. which has been
adopted by the Alpha club.
While not more than a foot in
height, he shows signs of being able
to worst any bull dog when he
rounds out a trifle more. He has a
fighters build from the tip of his abb
breviated tail to the end of his black
nose.
His first exploit was to climb to the
top Of an apple tree, where he stayed
until shaken down into a life net. He
is tame enough to eat out Of the hand,
but evinces an inclination to eat the
hand also.
The bear was trapped on the upper
Willamette a few days ago and was
shipped here to Howard Drew, who
promptly made the cub q member
of his fraternity.
