COOPER ASSAULT CHARGE MAY BE
 SET ASIDE
MAN WHO SHOT AT SUR VIEWING PARTY WITH DRAWS PLEA OF NOT GUILTY.
(From Tuesdays Daily.)

After hearing arguments as to the legality of the information by attor- neys in the case of the State vs. w. U. Cooper, charged with assaulting George Michael with deadly wea- pon, Judge Smith decided to take the matter under advisement and will ren- der his decision this morning.
 The argument followed the with drawal of Cooper's plea of not guilty, entered just recently, and the filing of motion by Attorney Morrison to have the case set aside because the defendant, he claimed. had been il legally committed from the justice court
 Attorney Morrison's point was that the original complaint on which the defendant was committed was sworn to by w. H. Merritt and that in the information George Michael is men toned as the man upon whom the as sault was made. Morrison holds that Cooper never had a hearing on the charge of assaulting Michael and that if he had he might have been eXoner- ated in the Justice court.
 Morgan declared that at the hearing it developed that not Merritt, but Michael was the man who had been assaulted, and that the name was changed, to place the charge on stronger grounds.
 Cooper is the man who is charged with having shot at party of sur veyors who were running a line through his land to settle three cornered property dispute last March. It is said that Cooper had requested the men to survey the land, but when he found that the survey was going against him he got out a rifle and started firing at the party.

HOMESTEAD MINE STRIKE GROWS
 LARGER
WHEN FREE ORES PLAY ED OUT AND SULPHIDES CAME IN, WAS ABAN- DONED 50 YEARS AGO.
(From Tuesdays Daily.)

The strike made last week in the Homestead mine, of the Pine Noun tain group, near Walker, is occasion ing considerable interest, and brings back recollections of nearly half a century ago, when Uncle Billy" Pointer, was its original owner and worked the ores with two arastras, propelled by horse power.
 w. s. Conner, who is in the city from that locality, stated yesterday that the old, cleaned out shaft, has proven a revelation to mining men, and as depth is given, the ore body has widened from two to fully four feet, showing a sulphide condition, in which copper values are decidedly apparent. What minerals abound, IS not known, and assays will be given.
 Leading, up to this abandoned mine of many years ago being operated, was the free values horned in an open cut for over 200 feet and the curiosity to ascertain what was carried in the old shaft that had reached depth of about SO feet. In cleaning out this working, the sulphide condition was exposed and further sinking has been richly rewarded. In the day when the Homestead was worked by pion- eer operators, nothing but the free ores could be treated, hence 1t was but natural to suspend when the re- bellious zone was penetrated, no facil- ities being available in that day by which reduction could be carried on. The character of shaft work in the long ago, shows that practical effort and substantial regard was given to- ward timbering, and this work of half century since, remained intact un- til another era dawned and new sets are to be substituted. The showing in the Homestead is viewed by min ing men as another illustration of what possibilities face old-time prop critics, and which in recent years have been substantiatcd by the many sue cesses made in modern methods of operating.

SMALL PENSIONS ARE
 PAID BY ENGLAND

LONDON, June 5-Over 2,OOO men have been discharged from the army as physically unfit on maximum pension of 17s. 6d.-about $435-a week This statement appears in an appeal for better pay for disabled sol diers made by Sir Frederick Milner, for 20 years a member of parliament.
 Sir Frederick says he has visited thousands of men since the beginning of the war and kept in touch with them afterwards. The sum now paid is not in his opinion sufficient to Sits tain life.
 They have uncomplainingly gone through hardships and sufferings al most unparalleled in the history of warfare" he declares, they have sac rifced what many of them value more than life itself; they have helped to save our hearths and homes from ir- reparable disaster, and grateful country awards these pitiful maimed heroes miserable pittance.
 "I assert positively from my own knowledge that many of these men, just discharged from hospital, for whom plenty of good nourishing food is necessity if they are ever to hope to regain even partial health, would have had to break up their homes and be deprived of absolute necessities but for the timely assistance of the Sol diers and Sailors Help Society, which help can not be indefinitely contin- ued."
 A government that pays well-to-do people $6.25 a week for billeting a man and the same for keeping cav airy horse ought to be able, according to Sir Frederick, to give its maimed fighters proper care.
