THE HORSING OREGONIAN, THURSDAY, 3IAY 19, 1910. WILMMOOSAHP SHARES. OF COHPER SEOCEPAY? i -y- 7 Captain Joha Johnston and Hla Letter Concerning; Thin Property The Kupreanof Copper Mining & Smelting; Co. Gentlemen In response to your inquiry In regard to my knowledge of the Kupreanof Group of Mining' Claims situate on Kupreanof Island, in Southeastern Alaska. I take pleasure in saying: that I am familiar with the property, and as a miner of over SO years practical experience I have no hesitation In saying: that the Kupreanof Group can be developed Into a valuable and dividend - paying: mine. It is not necessary for you to drive long; tunnels or sink deep shafts to find out If there la an ore body on the property. That there is a largre body of ore Is evi denced by at least 20,000 (twenty thousand) tons of ore now on the ground and ready to be shoveled into cars and shipped. This ore runs from four and one tenth per cent copper and as high as 16 per cent. You have one of the best cop- fier mines In the country, no transportation difficulties to face, the property be ng less than two miles from tidewater, with an even down-grade haul, and the Installation of a tramway will place this property on a shipping dividend-paying basis. , Tours truly, Every one has. heard of the profit in copper. ' . Small sums invested in new copper companies have made large returns and "will always do so. Dividends paid by the copper mining companies of the United States to their stockholders last year amounted to over FORTY MILLION DOLLARS. Copper is King of base metals today, and always will be. It is meeting with a persistent and constantly increasing demand. The increasing demand for copper can go on forever, but the supply is limited. There is only a fixed amount in the earth and every pound taken out makes that. which is left more valuable. The great interests back of the production of copper are pre paring for the greatest demand of the metal the- world has ever known. One hundred and ten copper mining companies paid in dividends up to December 31, 1909, over $575,000,000.00. The copper mining industry has been a great factor in the wonderful prosperity and financial growth this country has enjoyed. Copper is a product of Mother Earth where all of the wealth of the country comes from. Copper investments yield a greater per cent profit, on an average, than the best industrial investment. Look it up. Study statistics and you will find this to be true. Copper mines continue to add to the wealth of the world for centuries. The Rio Tinto mine in Spain has been producing cop per for over three thousand years. It is today one of the world's greatest mines. It now belongs to the Rothschilds. Look at the Calumet and Hecla. It has paid over one hundred and nine millions in dividends, and is still paying. Here Is What 1000 Shares of Copper Stock Has Done 1000 shares of Boston & Montana paid in one year, $43,000.00. 1000 shares of Calumet & Hecla has paid about $33,000.00 a year. 1000 shares of Calumet and Arizona paid in 1908, $5,000.00. 1000 shares of Tamarack will bring an income of nearly $6,000.00 per year. Here Is What You Could Have Done by In vesting $100 in Copper Stock $100.00 invested in the United Verde became worth. .-$80,000.00 $100.00 invested in Calumet and Arizona became worth. $10,000.00 $100.00 invested in Calumet and Pittsburg became worth $5,000.00 $100.00 invested in Boston & Montana became worth. . . $1,886.00 $100.00 invested in Green Consolidated became worth . . $8,700.00 $100.00 invested in Wolverine became worth $5,000.00 The great resources of the Kupreanof Copper Mine, that is now preparing its first shipment to the smelters, are not a matter of guesswork the value is proven. On one of the four claims there lies ready for shipment and being transported to tidewater as this is written 15,000 tons of copper ore, and on the same claim there lies 100,000 tons of copper ore in sight. Mining has been going on here for some time, and the first smelter shipment is now being prepared and will be received at the smelter by June 1. The Treasury Stock that is now being sold is to cover the cost of building a tramway less than two miles in length for the transportation of Kupreanof ore from mine to tidewater, the tram being guaranteed to handle 250 tons daily, and not costing more than 6 cents a ton in transportation. Remember You Have Only Twelve Days More in Which to Purchase Kupreanof Treasury Stock at 25c a Share FULLY PAID, NON-ASSESSABLE, WITH A PAR VALUE OF $1.00 The Price of This Stock Goes Up to 50 Cents a Share the First of June. By investing at this time you make a clear profit of 100 per cent, and tills stock will doubtless go to par in six months. When you purchase stock in the Kupreanof you join a company of the most responsible men -in the. entire Northwest; you purchase stock in a working mine of known wealth, and one that is covered by patents is sued by the United States Government. Investigate fully this company, its officers, its properties and its methods of doing business. When you have done this, you win agree that this is the best oppor tunity for investment that you have ever had offered to you. If you will call at the offices, 200 Chamber of Commerce building, every detail will be shown you, and you will be given a copy of "The Story of the Kupreanof," a book containing every detail concerning this property. The number of shares to be sold are limited; you should act at once. IF YOU CANNOT CALL, WRITE FOR FULL INFORMATION x KUPREANOF COPPER MINING & SMELTING CO.

TWO EVENTS ARE SHUT OUT Stenographer Makes "All Confer ence College Sleets" to Bead "All College Conference Meets," and This Causes Wrangle. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene, Or.. May IS. (Special.) A stenographer's mintage In transposing two -worda in the rules governing track contests adopted at the special meeting of the Northwest In tercollegiate Conference In Portland last February may cause the University of Oregon to lose the annual track meet with O. A. C to be held here next Friday. Over the difference between the word ing "all college conference meets" and "all conference college meets hinges a technicality on which the Agricultural College athletes are counting to bar the two-mile and javelin events from the meet. Oregon Is practicaly conceded both first and second places In both events and it will mean the loss of at least 16 points to the lemon-yellow trackmen if they are thrown out. Both teams are so evenly matched that the loss of 16 points could easily cost Oregon the meet. Dual Meets Are Included. At the conference meeting last February It was unanimously agreed by the six , colleges represented that the two-mile and Javelin events should be included in iu ture track meets. As this rule was in tended to read, according to Secretary George Hug, the wording was "all con ference college meets," which would also have Included dual meets between, any two colleges in the conference. As writ ten by the stenographer, however, it ap pears all college conierenoe meets. Technically this can be taken to mean only meets in which the conference col leges are represented. This 1 the view Professor Angell, O. A. C. track nmnager, has taken. O. A. C has no two-mile runner and has not been training with the Javelin. On the ground that the dual meets are not governed by the rule as it read. Angell declares the two-year contract made Between the colleges two years ago, in which these events were not included, holds prece dence. Oregon Asks for Advice. "There is. no doubt that the spirit of the rule was Intended to be 'all confer ence college meets,' " said Trainer V'Bill" Hayward today. "The whole trouble IV that O. A. C has no two-mile runner or Jve lin-thrower and is trying to win on a technicality. I We tiave wired Victor Zednlck and Coach Grogan, of Idaho, who were on the committee drawing up the rule, for their opinions as to its real meaning, and! will abide by that." Rivalry between the two Institutions has always bten Intense, but this season is more bittei than ever, as for the first time O. "A. C. Is thought to have chance of winning. a good I ALEX CARSON GOES TO VERSOS Ex-Portland Pitcher "Farmed Out" ""by Chicago Nationals. CHICAGO. May 18. (Special.) Pitcher Alex Carson, who was secured from Portland of the Pacific Coast league last Spring, was today released by the Chicago Nationals to Vernon, Cal. Carson goes to Vernon on the op tion agreement and Chicago will prob ably repurchase him In the Fall. He probably will leave for the Coast to morrow night. Carson was pleased with the deal, as he has been rather homesick in Chicago and his home is at San Jose. The manager of the Ver non club is a close friend of Manager Chance, who thinks the young twlrler will be ripe for major league baseball after another season with the minors. Carson, while on the Cub payroll, pitched in two games, having been in to finish up after another flinger had lost the battles. Chance thinks well of Carson's ability, but having a staff of 12 pitchers let the Coast boy go when Vernon approached him for a slab artist.1 WRESTLERS WOULD DEI'Y LAW Chicago Promoters Try to Force Busse to Grant Permit. CHICAGO, May IS. Promoters of the Gotch-Zbyszsko, wrestling match, for which a purse of $25,000 has been hung up, declared last night that the bout will be held on Decoration day in Chi cago or vicinity, despite the refusal of Mayor Busse to issue a permit. The sale of tickets continued at the down town office, and prospective spectators have been told that the match will be held, order or no order, from the au thorities. Should the plan of the man agers to seek a writ of mandamus com pelling the Mayor to issue a permit fall, they announce their Intention of trans ferring the bout to Harlem racetrack or some point outside the city limits. In the event that the Sheriff of Cook County decides to take a hand in the attempt to stop the match, the pro moters say they will go outside of the county and possibly to Hammond, Ind. MORAS AXD COXLEV AGREED Question of Weight Settled, Fight Is Set for June 7 at Sand. LOS ANGELES, May 18. SpeciaL The Conley-Moran match, which was de clared off last night, is on again, but In stead of May 27, the little fellows will fight 10 rounds June 7. The battle will be held at Naud, where no . decisions are permitted. The first agreement required Moran to make 126 pounds at 6 o'clock May 27. Conley's manager declared that this gave the al leged bantam champion too much of a handicap to overcome and Insisted on Mo ran making 126 at the ringside. He held out so obdurately that McCarey called off the match. Then the promoter called them together again and they compromised on Moran making 124 at 5 o clock June 7. Yacolt Gets Water Plant. VANCOUVER, Wash., May 18. (Spe cial.) Yacolt will have a water plant as a result of the election held there yes terday. ' Fifty-six votes were cast, 42 for the proposition and 14 against. The town of Yacolt will be bonded for, $6000, and water will be piped down from Big Creek Falls, about a mile and a half. R0CKP1LE IS BASIS will say what they Right to Send Men to Quarry to Be Decided On. 1 men, who. of course, w&ni mem w r-w .v J. P. Menefee, who was.called. by the city, testified that the depreciation of the 27-foot strip cut oft by the proposed bridge would be about 50 per cent. Other witnesses valued the property desired to be condemned at from $450 to $600 a front foot. The defense will assert that It is worth at least $1000. ' After the opening statements of counsel yesterday the jury and attorneys were taken to the proposed site to view the property. The case will be on 4rial sev eral days. PRISONER SECURES WRIT Place Where Men Work Out Sen tence Is Outside City Limits, and John McDonald Brings Suit ' In Circuit Court. That ' tha mimliU.l 1 . - - j i i v.vui i. ims no i legal right to send a prisoner to the I rockplle" is the basis of a suit for a : writ of habeas corpus filed in Circuit I Court yesterday by John McDonald. 1 ri j.i t writ is maae returnable before Judge Morrow at 3 P. M. May 25, at which time the point will be settled. McDonald was arrested in March, charged with an attempted attack on a little girl. He was tried on March 29 and was sentenced hv lnH,. Tict to pay a line of $300 and to serve 90 j days in the city Jail. He alleges that instead of confin ing him in the city jail as ordered the ! Chief of Police allowed one A. S. Brlggs (the superintendent of the rock-crusher i plant) to seize and carry him away, j . buu.VAV. fcv 'uiuuiii. Dezore the court to determine whether he is being legally held. The point which is raised against rockpile sentences is that the quarries are outside of the Jurisdiction of the city and that therefore a prisoner can not legally be held there on a sen tence of the municipal Judge. The question has been raised before, but has never been decided by the courts. CONDEMNATION SUIT ON TRIAL Flanders Defense Asserts City's Plans Have Been Changed. Whether the pleadings of the City of Portland in its condemnation suit against Maria Flanders contemplate the acquirement of the fee simple of the property or only an easement for the overhead passage of the Broadway bridge occupied most of yesterday In Judge Gantenbeln's court. Attorney R- Citron, for the defense, asserted that the original complaint asked for absolute ownership and protested- against the city's alleged at tempt to minimize the damage by rep resenting that only an overhead pass age was desired. - Citron, in opening his case, told the jurors that the owners and Albers Bros.' Milling Company, the lessees of the property, would suffer Immense damage, and that worry over this prop erty had hastened the death of J. Couch Flanders. He said that his clients had been "jobbed" by being permitted to understand that the bridge would not cut their property, after which the plans were changed surreptitiously so as to run through it, cutting off a piece 27 feet deep and making It worthless. "We shall bring honest men here to show you this," he said, "not these office HOLMAN'S SUIT IS ANSWERED Patrolmen Allege Plaintiff Was Gambler and Idler. Alleging that W. B. Holman was, at the time of his arrest, a common va grant, gambler and "bunco" man. Pa trolmen Thomas Coleman and John H. Price yesterday- filed answer to a suit for $2000 damages for false imprison ment brought against them by Hol man. ' . The answer alleges that when arrest ed, in April, 1909, Holman had been in the habit of hanging about saloons, gambling and Idling. He was arrested after his companion had told the offi cers that they had been shaking the dice for money. The answer says that Holman was not prosecuted because he promised to leave town if the charges were withdrawn. Condemnation Suits Start. . Trial of the condemnation suits brought by the city incident to the proposed widening " of Belmont street was com menced before a jury in Judge Cleland's department of the Circuit Court yester day. The defendants are H. H. Delano and J. F. Davies, who appealed from the report of the viewers. The viewers al lowed Delano $420 and Davies $450 as ex cess of damages over benefits.

Lacey at Spokane In 1899 and that in September, 1906, he deserted, her. She asks to be restored to her maiden name, Charlotte HalL Alice B. Brlzee and Bert V.

MEDF0RD LICENSE HIGHER City Aims to Exclude Undesirable Class of Saloons. MEDFORD, Or., May 18. (Special.)

KILL POLITICS, URGED STATE BAR ASSOCIATION SEEKS NONPARTISAN BENCH. Only One Dissenting. Vote Heard When Portland, Lawyers Vote. , Further Action June 1. With one dissenting voice, that of Lawrence McNary, the plan for a "non partisan Judiciary" was Tuesday aft ernoon given the approval of the State Bar Association, nearly 100 members participating. McNary voted loudly in the negative, but afterward explained that his vote was a joke. At 2:30 President Frederick V. Hol man announced that the hour set for hearing a communication from the Multnomah Bar Association had ar rived, and Judge M. L. Pipes took the. floor, and read the resolutions pre viously adopted by the Multnomah bar. In support of them he said that the judiciary has no political duty to per form and should not therefore be amenable to any political Influence. He explained that the movement was not radical or revolutionary and sim ply made it feasible to get the choice of the lawyers on the ballot in the same way that any other coterie was entitled to bring forth candidates. Tha project would not exclude men from the bench who axe active in politics, but would simply tend to insure that they should owe their positions not to politics, but to their merits as lawyers and men of judicial temperament. The matter. Judge Pipes explained, was brought before the state associa tion only as It related to the choice of judges of the Supreme Court. The choice of candidates for the District Courts would rest with the assembly of attorneys within the district. In the state at large, for the choice of judges of the Supreme Court, and in each district for the choice of Circuit Court Judges, an assembly of the law yers would be called to select a candidate- for the bench and that candi date would be secured a place on the ballot and given the support' of the association. Immediately upon the conclusion of Judge Pipes' remarks. Judge Thomas O'Day moved that the report be re ceived and adopted, which was done by acclamation. Judge Pipes then proposed that those present, meeting by judicial districts, should select a committee composed of one member for each circuit Judge, to call the"" assembly in their respective districts. A recess was taken and the following committee was selected: First district, Clarence Reames. of Jacksonville;' second district, A. C. Woodcock, of Eugene:-J. W. Bennett, of Marshfleld; Dexter Wright, of Rose burg; third district. William Kaiser, of Salem; Oscar Hager, of Dallas; fourth district, M. L. Pipes. A. E. Clark. Dan . Malarkey. . Ralph Moody, Alex Bernstein, of Portland; fifth district, J. E. Hedges, of Oregon City; C. H. Aber cromble. of Astoria; sixth district, Charles H. Carter, of Pendleton; sev enth district, A. A. Jayne, of Hood River; eighth district, M. B. Clifford, of Baker City; ninth district, A. Mc Gonigal, of Ontario;' tenth district. Turner Oliver, of La Grande: eleventh district. Jay Bowerman. of Condon; thirteenth district, W. Lair Thompson, of Lakevlew. This committee will meet in the main court chamber at the Courthouse at 10 o'clock A. M. June 1 for further action.

The discovery had In it elements of the weirdly grotesque, the old trapper being located on April 24. sitting erect frozen stiff in his boat, and the boat still frozen solidly in near Cariboo Island. Tye had apparently been caught by the cold snap the night after his departure from Cari boo dam, and as there had been no break in the wintry weather during the four months following, his body had been per fectly preserved.
