themselves refused to make any
prediction. In New Jersey, for in
stance, the republicans are split and
the matter there will be fought out
at the primaries.
In Pennsylvania, especially in the
western part, there has been a
rapid growth of the Roosevelt move

politicians OF the old Quay school,
who see In Roosevelt a medium
through which they can deal a blow

In New York state the Roosevelt
men have made slight headway.
Timothy Woodruff. rejuyenated as
leader of the republican organi-
zation, has swung, body boots and
breeehes, to Taft and has assured
him that all of the Kings county
delegates will be for him. The same
is true in New York county.
Missouri is placed among the
doubtfuls with good reason.

WAGNER COPPER
COMPANY HAS
GOOD PROPERTY

The extensive development work
which has been carried on for the
past four years by the Wagner
Azurite Copper company in the At
wood district has placed that prop
erty in the class which is appre-
ciated by handlers of large mines.
Frank Everett, who has had
charge OF the work, today, in talk
ing about the property, said:
We have been quietly working
to develop the estate the company
owns and the results obtained have
justified our work and proven that
legitimate mining is the kind that
pays. We have not wasted a dollar
but have made each shift show
some improvement in the condition
Of the property
Our upper tnanel is now in $50
feet and is in monzonite the en-
tire distance and this. some day,
will be handled in such a manner
as to show profit; this tunnel
gives us 800 feet of backs. The
lower tunnel, which is in about
400 feet. and from which we will
get $50 feet of backs, is in lime
nearly the entire distance, and one
third Of the face is now in ore. |
consider, however. that the ore thus
encountered is but one Of the many
feeders and expect that we will have
to go at least 100 feet further be-
fore we cut the main vein As
The property now stands there are
millions of tons in sight and |
think | am safe in saying that 1t
will average $40 ton.
~ consider that we are opening
up one Of the biggest mines in the
state, and / am now ready to have
any expert examine it.
I'VE have been working steadily
for the past four years. We have
a well-equipped plant, have not
and do not intend to lose a shift.
Il came in by the way of Luning
and they are shipping ore from
there from many properties outside
Of the town.
Yesterday l completed the ar,
rangements to take over the Ship
per Copper company and we will
put men at work at once and the!
should be on ore in ten days.
The vein on this property car
be traced for 5000 feet and il
over 25 feet in width
"Of course there has not enough
development work been done ye
to warrant our calling it a mine
but consider it a most promis
ing prospect and | am confident tha
before the middle of next month W,
will take our place among tn
shippers.

BLACK PLEADS GUILTY
AND GETS THREE YEARS

Judge Mark R. Averill. of the dis
trict court, this morning sentenced
Dan B. Black, who plead guilty of
forgery. to a term of three years in
prison. The Judge evidently took
into consideration that the young
man had heretofore led an exem-
plary life and gave him short
time sentence. 1t was stated this
afternoon that an effort would be
made by the authorities to secure
the young mans parole in the very
near future.
The circumstances surrounding
the crime are eXtenuating in the
extreme and those who engaged in
the carrying out of justice should
remember that "the quality of mer-
cy is not strained but droppeth like
the gentle rain from Heaven"
Counsellor ]. +. Mcnamara, who
appeared with Judge Dennis in be-
half of the unfortunate young man,
appealed to the Judge that he be
merciful to Black. Mr., Mcnamara
said.
IF your honor please. as attor-
ney for this young defendant. I take
this opportunity to say word in

man. who has plead guilty to the

GOVERNOR ODDIE
DEPLORES use
Of LADY'S NAME

RENO, New, March 12.-Govern-
or oddie yesterday made the fol-
lowing statement to the Gazette
relative to the published report that
ms opposition to Warden Baker
was based on the fact that Bakers
sister-in-law and the governor were
no longer engaged, and upon jeal-
ousy because of the publicity and
praise which have been given Baker
during his administration:
There is not a particle of truth

probably have more to say about
it in the near future.
The articles that appeared in the
San Francisco papers stated that
Governor Oddie had requested War
den Bakers resignation, and that
rumor assigned as the reasons for
that request the termination of the
engagement that had existed be-
tween Governor Oddie and Mrs.
Dale Hartley Baker, sister-in-law
of the warden, and alleged jealousy
on the port of the governor because
Baker had been more in the lime
light than has he in connection with
the prison reform work in this
state.
1t has been known for some time
! that Oddie had asked for Bakers
resignation, but it had been hoped
that an amicable understanding
could be arrived at. The prison
board, which has the appointing
power. is composed of Governor Cd
die, Attorney General Baker ant
Secretary of State Brodigan. The
latter today occupies position Of
advantage, and it is generally un
derstood that he will not aid il

He realized his inability to get or
hold a position in the mines and
also the necessity of his obtaining
some means whereby he can send
his young wife back home that she
might be among her people. In
view of all these facts, he then
did something for which he is now
truly penitent. I feel that the
trainers of the statute providing for
the punishment if found guilty of
forgery must have had in mind
some such combination of circum-
stances when they they made the
