Hard to tell from this perspective:

> mean(co.boot$t[,1])
Error in mean(co.boot$t[, 1]) : 
  error in evaluating the argument 'x' in selecting a method for function 'mean': Error: object 'co.boot' not found

Are you asking why 12.95 is not equal to 12.94?

[1] 12.95764

Call:
lm(formula = log(y) ~ log(x), data = xy)

Coefficients:
(Intercept)       log(x)  
     12.942        1.055

t0?

That is what some of us are thinking, too.
