not 10 affect any existing contract.
About August lst, 1884, these con
victs were brought 10 Central City,
and put to work in the mines, right

the lessee, which had not been done,
as the old one did not expire until
October 1st. 1884. These convicts
could not lawfully be worked at all
in an incorporated town. The Com

their attention called to these and
other violations of the law by all the

by the protests of various committees,
and by numerous letters and public
