DEMURRING STILL.
The Edelmans Fighting on the Indict.
rnents

When Judge Wade called upon II. w.
and Ben Edelman to plead to the several
indictments against them yesterday
morning Hon. S. M. White and Henry
T. Gage, Esq. presented another demur-
rer, and as neither side was prepared to
argue the matter, a continuance was
taken until next Monday.
The demurrer cites that the said in
dictment does not contain statement
of the day upon which the Indictment
herein was found, or upon which the
defendant was accused by said Grand
Jury, nor is said indictment correct or
certain as regards the offense charged
or the particular circumstances thereof
necessary to constitute the same. Also
that there is no statement in said in
dictment showing whether the client
mentioned in the claim presented
by the defendant had Just claim
against said county, nor does it appear
how said county could, in any manner,
have been defrauded if said amount
mentioned in the indictment was
due to the party to whom the de-
fendant claimed it was due; nor is there
any statement in said indictment that
said amount was not due to said party
to whom said defendant claimed said
money was 80 due; nor is there any
thing in said indictment to show how
said defendant attempted to defraud
said county, or whether he presented

A Good Report From the Orc
Grande Mines.
A Company Formed and an
Excellent Showing.
The Edelman Case Still Delayed by
Demurrers.
Flotsam Caught in the Courts Yesterday
A Variety of Interesting Local
News Presented.

An assay, made on March Goth, of ore
taken from the Oro Grande mines
showed 900 ounces TO the ton. This
ore was taken from a 90-foot incline and
110-foot shaft. The mine is situated
about one and one-half miles east of Orc
Grande, and consists Of an immense
ledge, the extent of which cannot be
estimated, as the development has not
proceeded far enough; still it is evident,
from all indications, that the Carbonate
will prove one of the greatest mines on
the Pacific Slope.
A company has been formed, with a
capital stock OF 500, 900 of the par value
of 81 each, and in short time the stock
will be placed on the market. Thirty
thousand dollars of the stock has been
reserved as a working capital, for devel-
opment, etc. The directors of the COM
pany are Judge Silent; Chas. H. Duns-
moor, County Clerk; S. M. Perry, chair
man of the Board of Supervisors Super
visor A. E. Davis, Supervisor T. f.
Rowan, County Treasurer Jabez Ban
bury and Harry Long, of Orc Grande.
Hon. T. r. Rowan is president, Chas
II. Dunsmoor is secretary and Colonel
Banbury treasurer.
The San Bernardino Courier says
1t is estimated that at least $40 900 will
be used in developing the mine. At
present there are fourteen menat work
taking out ore. On the west end of the
location is a shaft 140 feet deep, and the
work of cross-cutting has begun to see
what the width of the vein is. East of
this 1000 feet a shaft has been sunk
sixty feet, and when the 10O-foot level
has been reached the vein will be crossed.
The ore from assays gives on an average
20 ounces silver, $50 gold and 35 per
cent. lead.
The company is agitating the building
of smelter, but its location has not
been decided upon. Some members ol
the company want it located in Los An
geles and others want it at Orc Grande
to save transportation of the ore. The
latter place would seem to be the most
available place, as that section is devel
oping into great mining region, and 8
smelter located there would profit by
the sale of ore from large district.
Collins, the man killed at Oro Grande
last summer by Horace Adams, owned q
quarter interest in the Carbonate mine
but did not live long enough to see his
property advance to valuable state
The work of development of this mine
will be pushed rapidly ahead, and the
Carbonate will become one of the best
mines in the county.

THE CONNOLLY RANCH.
1t Certainly Looks as if Patrick Holds
the Fort

The suit for the setting aside of deed
of the late Mary Connolly whereby she
conveyed her property to her brother
Patrick still drags its slow length along
before Judge Wade, in Department 8.
The plaintiff rested and the defense took
up the fight yesterday. The nurse who
waited on the deceased in her last i'll
ness had been witness for the plaintiffs
and when she was called as the first wit
ness for the defense some surprise was
elt This was intensified when she
stated that in conversation with Mary
Connolly prior to her death, she had
told this witness that she intended to
leave all her property to Patrick.
DR.. Wise, also one of the witnesses for
the plaintiffs, was called by the defense.
He was closely cross-cxamined by Mr..
Henley for the plaintiffs, but all through
this physician, who attended the woman
in her last illness, overthrow the theory
of the plaintiffs as to the condition OF
Miss Connolly during her illness. At
one point the doctor told the attorney in
substance that the theory of her condi-
ton indicated by the trend of his ques-
tions&as utterly contrary to the facts.
He insisted that the woman's mind was
perfectly clear all the time. Much of
the discussion was technical in the ex-
treme, and Mr.. Henley came armed with
medical library, but DIR. Wise made
no bones OF taking issue with many of
the statements made in the books.
Judge j. d. Bicknell was called and
stated that from what he knew of the
relations of the brother and sister, in
the management of their business, they
were partners in the ranch, and that
Patrick owned a half interest in it. They
sold 800 acres OF it once to M. L. Wicks,
who paid $4,000 and gave notes for
81, 400 This land is where Hyde Park
is situated.
The case is still on trial, but the gen.
eral view taken OF the matter is that the
deed is good and will hold the property
for the defendant.
