tinue on Strike.
Stockholm, Aug. 9.-Swedish troops
in the northern part of the country
have mutinied and the government is
much concerned. Two regiments, one
ct Falun and the other at Solicited,
are affected They are stationed in
the northern country, where the labor
disturbances first broke out In the
timber trade and where the govern
ment has been haunted by the fear
that the soldiers sympathies were
with the strikers. The mutinous
troops have been confined to their
barracks.
The executive committee OF the
Swedish union has decided to call out
all the printers throughout the king
dom. Many of the grave diggers have
defled the orders of their labor union
to return to work and have rejoined
the strikers.
The food situation In Stockholm
shows no Improvement and the strike
continues. The hope that the men
would withdraw from their extreme
attitude has not been fulfilled.
While no serious clashes have yet
occurred between the troops and the
strikers the leniency shown by the
soldiers In the small outbreaks indi-
Gates clearly that they are In strong
sympathy with the strikers and may
not prove dependable should crisis
arise
Leaders of the strike are still try
ing to maintain order, but hundreds of
the strikers are becoming unruly and
depredations are of increasing fury
and seriousness

JEROME CLOSES FOR STATE

Deliberately and Intentionally Swore
Falsely on the Stand.
White Plains, N. Y. Aug Clos
ing arguments were heard by Su-
preme Court Justice Isaac ~ Mills in
the application of Harry X. Thaw for
release from the Matteawan asylum,
Each side was confined to one hour.
Mr.. Jerome's turn came first. He
began by saying that Justice Mills
must be perfectly familiar with the
case Mr.. Jerome said that, there
fore. he would not attempt to go over
the evidence In detail
Speaking of the credibility of the
witnesses and their bearing under
cross-examination he said he believed
all did their best to tell the truth ex-
cept Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw.
II do think" he declared, that this
girl was deliberately and Intentionally
falsifying. That she told her husband
the story of her injury at the hands of
Stanford White / have no doubt"
Mr.. Jerome then passed directly to
the question of Thaw's sanity. The
speaker acknowledged that modern
science did not attach extreme impor-
tance to the influence Of heredity on
disease; nevertheless he declared that
this influence must be considered In
assessing the descendants mental con-
dition.
He summed up Thaw's family his
tory with the declaration that when a
member broke he or she broke In
their weak spot-the mind. Under
strain they developed imbecility or
epilepsy"
LET me point out now that the
whole Thaw family manifested what
might be called peculiarly. From
such stock the average man of the

ance from alienists: Well, you would
get a pretty rickety sort of child out

Susie MerrilI's Gtory unrefuted.
Susie Merrili's story of receiving
large sums of money from Thaw's at
torneys and his living at her house
with various women, the district at
torney said. was unrefuted. Here Mr..
Jerome laid down his notes and re-
cited from memory various wild acts
of the prisoner, testified to at the for
mer trials. Thaw's love Of the dra.
matte was pointed out by Mr.. Jerome
as strong characteristic OF his al
legged mania This desire for the dra.
matic received its strongest illustra-
tion in the shooting Of White. said
Jerome The district attorney declared
that he placed little reliance on the
testimony of Dr. Britton d. Evans
Thaw's chief alienist. and asked the
court to disregard 1t,

Roger Sommer, the French aviator
beat the worlds record for prolonged
flight in an aeroplane. His machine
remained in the air for 2 hours, 27
minutes and Is seconds.
Sommer In the beginning of his
flight travelled slowly near the ground
at elevations running from six to
thirty yards. After the machine had
become limbered up the aviator In
creased his speed When IL became
evident that he had beaten the dura-
tion record held by Wilbur Wright the
assembled crowd cheered wildly and
as Sommer came to the ground he
was given an ovation.

THE situation is about this: Here
Is a man whom heredlty has proven
TO be bad; he is a man whose child
hood was that of highly nervous
sort We find him marrying this girl
and there was nothing after the mar
riage to excite his jealousy. We see
him pursuing this idea of injury to
young American girls"
Referring to Mrs. Thaw's attack on
him in "The Secret Unveiled" Jerome
said:
"We see in this pamphlet the same
color that runs all through the sons
behavior.
1T seems to me IL would not be
safe TO turn this man loose until there
had been ample opportunity to sub
nit him to medical examination from
day to day for long period"
Thaw's Attorney Speaks.
Attorney Morschauser for Thaw,
began by urging the court to consider
only the evidence produced In the
present proceedings and disregard
Thaw's condition prior to. during or
just after the homicide. He dwelt
upon the testimony of his own alien
fists and attacked that of the opposing
experts. especially DR.. Bakers IL
Thaw had a latent trace of insanity,
he said. the horrors" of Matteawan
would have made 1t evident at the
murder trials the incidents of Thaw's
early life were grossly exaggerated to
show insanity, the speaker said. A
similar result might be achieved with
the boyhood pranks of any man.
Referring to Evelyn Nesbit Thaw
Mr. Morschauser said:
"Even with the life she brought him
Mr.. Thaw was willing to take her and
bring her home, feeling that he might
be happy If this man (White) had not
destroyed that which is sacred to
every girl. T'haw with this before him
every day and every night started out
TO wrcak his vengeance on this man
and sought TO break up that den and
destroy forever Whites power to
wreck and ruin the lives of young
girls. Mr.. Thaw appealed to District
Attorney Jerome. The district attor.
ney admitted the existence of such
places and If he had used the energy
in roofing them out that he has In

GOLDFIELD MEN GET ORE
ON SURFACE AT WONDER

Encouraging reports of mining con
ditions at Wonder were brought to
Goldield this week by Samuel II.
Amigo, who has been conducting some
work at Wonder for Robinson & Wick
crs of Goldfeld. Amigo says that they
recently opened three feet of ore that
will run $50 a ton in gold and silver, a.
a depth of ten feet, on the Victor
Wonder property. The formation is u
porphyry lime, interseeted by quartz
lodges. Development work will be
Systematically pushed on this new dis
covery.
A splendid strike has been made by
Allison McGregor at grass roots on the
Humboldt claim. Silver predominates
In the values, assay returns across an
lS-inch pay streak showing $3.50 a ton,
while picked samples will run into the
thousands. There is also about five feet
CT ore that will average around $50 per
ton. The property has been bonded to
Reno capitalists for $4,000, and the
first payment of 81 1000 has been made.
Mr.. Amigo predicts a general re-
vival in mining operations around Won
in the spring.

Ely COMPANIES PRODUCE
COPPER AT A Low COST

Based on the work done up to Jan
uary /, the prophecy is made by inside
that the Nevada Consolidated
will soon be producing copper, with all
paid, at Z cents a pound,
which will make it the lowest copper
cost producer in the country. Already
the cost is under s cents and it will be
steadily reduced. This means earnings
over and above bond interest at the
rate of close to 1915 a share if the
production reaches the volume expected
during the mex three or four months
1T the rate of 55,0OO,O 900 pounds a year
and if copper is figured at Is cents a
a pound, in other words, earnings which
will equal rs per cent of the par value
of the shares.
Cumberland Ely, owning one-half of
the Steptoe smelter and one-half of the
Nevada Northern railroad, will produce
copper at 5 cents a pound, the differ
ence between the two being the differ
ence between shoveling and mining.
The smelter above referred to will rep
resent a cash investment of 81, 900, 900

GOLD ORE UNwATERS MINE
SHAFT SINKING RESUMED

Sinking has now been resumed on the
shaft of the Nevada Gold Ore Mines
company, on the Gold Bar claim. Dur
ing the time that the property was idle
the shaft filed with water for 60 feet,
and this fouled the timbers so that con
siderable retimbering has had to be
done since the water was pulled out.
Manager w. II. Stills proposes to seni
the 510-foot shaft down to 700 feet as
rapidly as possible, with full confidence
of making a mine. The company is
backed by prominent Ohio capitalists,
who are now spurred to renewed eff
forts by tile recent strikes in the Gold
Bar Victor workings.

shape" said Mr.. Sills, yesterday. eve

that we are going to make a big mine,

BIG STRIKE Is REPORTED
IN GOLD GULCH PROSPECT

The Miller strike in Gold gulch, re-
ported exclusively in the Miner last
week, has been looked into the last few
days and reported to be immense, says
the Beatty Miner. The ~discoverer, W.
j Miller, is in Los Angeles and it is
difficult to obtain direct information.
The rich ore is but a streak on the por-
phyry side of a phonolite-porphyry con-
tact, but the body of low grade ore Is
said to be enormous Jim Dee owns adj
joining ground and has exposed the con-
tinuation of dykes and ore. The strike
IS about six miles from Beatty. Many
claims were located this week.
Mike Staggers has re-established
camp in the gulch and is developing
property near the Miller strike.
The new tunnel on the Revenue group
is in SO feet and has penetrated the
vein. Assays will be made in a few
days.
Gold gulch is a few miles northeast
CT Beatty, and tributary to this place.
