(From a staff Correspondent


LANSING, Mich, Jan. 1.-THE up
per peninsula attorneys are coming
into town ostenslbly for supreme
court business, but are keeping close
watch on legislation affecting the min
ing and corporation interests. Among
them are Allen Reece, attorney for
the Calumet q Hecla; Frank Bell. at
torney for the steel trusts iron mines,
and A. B. Eldridge, attorney for the
Duluth, South Shore & Atlantic.
A bill by Senator James introduced
yesterday, provides that copper mine
inspectors be elected by the people
instead of appointed by supervisors.
over whom the mining companies
have considerable control.
The copper men do not like this, as
the primary reform has lessened their
influence at the elections. There Is
also concern over a proposed bill to
reduce the railroad fare In the upper
peninsula TO two cents.
The governors message recommend
ed two and one-half cents, but the
members are inclined to put the whole
state on the two-cent basis.

much discussion as to the confirma-
ton of the recess appointments made
by Gov Warner or the appointments

The opinion is growing that Gov. Os-
born will be able to land the men he
wishes, despite the claim made by the
friends OF the Warner appointees the
last of the week that they had 20
votes pledged out of 81. Both lists
will be referred to committee without
protest, II is stated, and the fight VIII

resentatives last night announced the
appointment of j. ]. Holmes. OF Eaton
Rapids, Mich, as third assistant

posed by the county committee or his
