Since it was dis- | covered that Mr. English was quietly making a canvass in many parts of the State, with a view to securing the nomi- nation for Governor, there has been a marked increase in his local strength.

HOUGHTON, Mich.,, June 24—The Standard Oil people have long monopo- lized petroleum. For the past five years they have been prominent in iron ore— more prominent with each year. For the | first tim they have become identified with copper, the details being made pub- lic to-day. For nearly two years Nathan F. Leopold, a well-known steamboat man in Chicago, has been engaged in tying up property in Lake Superior cepper dis- | | trict. So cleverly has his work been ear- ried on that until to-day the full scope of his operations have been known to but half a dozen of his most intimate busi- associates. The cat was let out of the bag, how- ever, when the organization of the Ar- cadian Copper Company was perfected | to-day in Boston. The directors elected by the company were as follows: Albert C. Burrage of Boston, president of the Boston Gas Light Company; William | Rockefeller, president of the Standard Oil Company; Nathan F.. Leopold of Chi- cago, of the marine firm of Leopold & Austrain; Henry H, Rogers of New York, aine, Webber & Co., a brokerage firm which has been very prominent for sev- eral years past in big copper mining en- terprises; Sidney Chase of Boston, of Chase & Barston, treasurer of the Bos- ton Stock Exchange; and J. H. Rice of Houghton, cashier of the National Bank of Houghton. Albert C. Burrage of Bos- ton was elected president, Nathan F. | Leopold of Chicago general manager and | Charles D. Burrage of Boston secretary | and treasurer. The property of the Arcadian Copper comprises seventeen different for which nearly fifty | company cadian mine, the Edwards mine, the Con- cord mine, the Douglass mine and varfous | tracts from Sault Ste. Marie’s Canal Com- | pany and other owners of mineral land, including a valuable mill site on Portage limits the Huron, Kearsarge, Isle Royale and other well known copper lodes, in | which half a dozen of the great mines of the district are opened. | The Arcadian has two and a half miles on the outcrop of the lode, and has an es- | timated depth of over two miles in sink- | ing, at an angle of 55 degrees, which is | the pitch of the vein as opened. Aectual mining work has been under way at the | Arcadian and adjoining mines owned by the new company for the past year, and 200 men are now employed in develnsing the mines, which force will be douvled as soon as the necessary accommodations can be secured for the men. Treading on the heels of the sensation when two millions of Standard Oil cash were invested in a Houghton mine, comes the sale of the Minnesota and adjacent mines in Ontonagon County, which have just been bought for $4,000,000 by Detroit capital. The Minnesota was worked thir- ty years; paid millions in dlvidends and produced a single mass of pure native copper weighing 1,000,000 pounds. Mining work is to be resumed immediateiy. i 2t i SANTA CLARA POPULISTS OPPOSED TO GANG RULE In County Convention They Discuss Methods of Procedure for the State Campaign.

WERE CAUGHT NTHE ACT Opium Smugglers Ar- rested at Honolulu. THEIR SCHOONER WRECKED THE VENTURE WAS MADE BY A PUGET SOUND RING. Luigi Tschech Made a Desperate Attempt to Take His Own Life on Union Street Yesterday. News of an important opium selzure came from Honolulu by the Peru. The old opium ring which had Whaley, the notorious smuggler, at its head, and its headquarters at Victoria, B. C., has been reorganized and for a time did a land office business in the drug. The profits can be imagined when the fact is known that opium manufactured in British Co- lumbia can be purchased in Victoria for about $7 a pound, and the same article will bring $65 a pound in the Hawallan Islands, where its importation s prohib- ited. The new combine owns three schooners —the Henrietta, Lena L and Labrador. The two first named vessels made suc- cessful runs from Victoria, B. C., to the islands, landed their cargoes and got away again, but the Labrador was caught and Captain John Haake and Albert Weinriche, alias Wilson, were in prison when the Peru sailed. The Labrador left Victoria, B. C., on April 23 last, and her clearance papers called for a cruise in the North Pacific “in search of sea otter.” When caught off the coast of Oahu the captain said he was going to land Weinriche, who was sick, and that was the reason he ran in. The vessel was searched, but nothing was found on her. Then the Japanese cook gave the whole business away and point- ed out where a thousand 5-tael tins of the drug were hidden. This was seized, but in the meantime the Labrador had drift- ed ashore and she will probably be a total loss. The Peru brings the news that the plague, which has been epldemic in Hongkong, Bombay and Calcutta, is abating. Luigi Tschech of the furniture firm of Delucchi & Tschech, 479 Union street, | made a desperate attempt at suicide yes- terday. With a knife he cut himself over the left eye, slashed his left cheek, cut his left wrist and his left ankle, and then made two big gashes in his throat. He was taken to the Harbor Receiving Hospital, where Drs. Zabala and Green sewed up his wound They think there is a chance of savi his life. Officer Langdon found Tschech in a small back room of his furniture store bleeding pro- fusely. He is an gpium fiend and his wife says he has been crazy for a week past. The big German bark Theodor that ar- rived from Sydney, N. S. W,, has 1500 tons of coal aboard for the San Francisco and North Pacific Railway. She will dock alongside the freight slip at Lom- bard street and discharge into freight cars. The latter will then be put aboard the steamer Ukiah and taken to Tiburon. The remainder of the Theodor’'s cargo is for the San Joaquin Valley road, and it will be discharged into lighters and towed to_Stockton. Captain_H. C. Thomas has succeeded Captain David Wallace on the steamer Queen. Captain Wallace will go out as Clem _ Randall, late master of the tug Fearless, now the United~ States steamer Iroquois, has gone St. Michael in command of the new river tug Ernest E. Hamill. Another haul of young striped bass was made at the ferries yesterday. ‘‘Joe" Mogan discovered a thousand pounds of fish under weight being smuggled in, and he at once confiscated it and sent the consignment out to Camp Merritt. The annual strike took place on Jack- son-street wharf yesterday. During the winter months the deckhands and long- shoremen employed on the river steamers have their wages reduced $ a month. Then in the summer, when business is rushing, it goes back to the old rate. The owners of the steamers always re- member when the time to cut wages ar- rives, but they never know when the rise is due. Then the men go on strike and in the course of a few days the ship- owners give in and things go on as usual for another twelve months. Yesterday 150 men struck for an advance of $ a month for deckhands and 10 cents an hour for longshoremen. For the term ending June 24 the fol- lowing graduates of McNevin Brothers’ Navigation School have been granted United States licenses as masters and mates by the inspectors of hulls_ and boilers: As masters—E.

McKenna, Charles Hempler, Charles Pillberg; pilots—E. Lampson, Prince Wil- liams Sound and Copper River; W. Gus- tafson, San Francisco harbor; masters Chamber of Commerce, Charles Pillberg, Donald Clow. Honolulu was very much worked up over the failure of the Peru to appear on time. She was quarantined at Kobe, Japan, for five days, and the Hawaiians thought she had gone direct to San Fran- cisco to serve as a transport. In conse- quence, all the mails that were intended for transportation by the Peru were sent on the United States gunboat Bennington, which will probably not reach here before Monday next. At one time there was some talk of chartering the steamer Claudine and sending her up with mail and passengers. Thg Perus stopped the second fleet ot transports and took all the mail the boys had to send to their friends at home. so that it is now in the postoffice here being distributed.

KINGSTON, Jamaica, Jnue 24—A curious fact is that ore shipped from the point where the American troops landed is usually reduced at the Car- negie Iron Works.
