The preliminary hearing against Rob-
ert Milliken, of the Surprise mine, set for
yesterday before Judge Field, was not
entered upon. although judgments we're
taken against Milliken in number of
civil cases. The expense of getting
large number of miners in from Cooks,
and whose testimony appears to have nec-
essary in the case, led the prosecution to
postpone pushing the criminal charge
for the present. The matter will proba-
bly, come up in the district court. It
would have been great hardship upon
the miners to have forced them to have
come in, as they are entirely without
means, through the failure of the Surprise
people to pay them their wages. The
claims against the proprietors of the
American Silver d Lead Mining COM
pany now aggregate nearly $1,000, most
ly in the shape of liens.
