there can be no question about it, the

Edmund Rowse Bound Over.

The preliminary hearing of Edmund
Rowse, charged with the murder of Frank
Hallock occupied the attention of Justice
Griswold on Friday, Saturday and Monday
and Tuesday Many witnesses were sworn
and testified at the hearing. 1t was prac-
tically rehash of the testimony given at
the coroner's inquest with the exception of
the twelve or fifteen citizens who testified
to the good character and citizenship of the
defendant The testimony of Mrs. Hal
lock and that of Mrs. Rowse were practi
cally the same as it was on the occasion of
the inquest-perhaps little more in detail.
The prosecution was in the hands of
District Attorney Thurman and Deputy
District Attorney Smith. Both of these
gentlemen made a stubborn fight for the
sentiment at every turn of the case. At
torney's Sabin and Williams were equally
stubborn in their defense and from legal
standpoint the battle was one of the hottest
waged in the county for years.
The court room was crowded all the
time and it seemed to be the general ex-
preston that Judge Griswold was fair in
everything pertaining to the progress of
the case.
Deputy District Attorney Smith made
an exceptionally strong fight and is being
generously commended for his good work
and tireless efforts devoted to his side of
the cause.
The bond was placed at $1,000 and no
trouble was experienced in finding album
.dant wealth to stand good for Rowse's ap-
pearance. AS Siftings has stated before
the public should not judge until the mat
ter is thoroughly sifted.

Is This Great Problem At
Last Solved.

Assayer Gorder, the popular young min
ing man who purchased the business of A.
c. Dart, is student of technical mining
and regarded as an authority on all matters
pertaining to metallurgy. Joseph Page,
who is now a resident of Idaho Springs,
but formerly Cripple Geek miner, has ap-
parently solved the perplexing question of
growing gold.
"These two samples" said Mr.. Gorder,
pointing to couple of beauties in that line,
''were made by these gentlemen, Mr.. Page
and Mr. Bennett. At school it was gener-
ally known that by applying some cold
metal like an awl or something similar to
molten gold that it would grown other
words it could be brought to multiply it
self in proportions until it was probably
five times the original size. 1t has been a
great question with chemists as to how these
results could always be obtained and it looks
to me as if these two miners had solved the
proposition. Specimens of this character,
like have in the window are worth from
$40 to $12 and do not suppose there is to
exceed from IS cents to 81 worth of gold in
either of them

A Good Proposition Now
Under Way.

The Cedar Ridge Mines and Tunnel
Company is new proposition incorporated
last week. 1t comprises six claims, the
Cedar Ridge Nos. I, 2, 3, q, and g. The
incorporators are w. A. Kalp, of Mt
Pleasant Pa, DIR. P. M. Egert, of Holland
Patent, N. Y, J. NJ Sterling, of Bridge
port, Conn, and J, D. F. Pierson, of Ken
ton, Mich. The property is within three
hundred to four hundred feet of the Coming
Nation and will practically parallel the tun-
mel on that property. 1t will cut the ex-
tension of that vein which has produced as
says running $I4, 900 to the ton and enter
the field in the vicinity of the Federal tun-
mel. Mining men state that it is an excel
lent property, The tunnel will have its
portal almost directly beneath the powder
house on the Soda Creek road. The sale
was closed by the Fred G. Shaffer Invest
ment company and it is understood that the
consideration was $4,000 for the six
claims. The directors of the company will
meet in Idaho Springs July IS of the pres
ent year and perfect the organization and
proceed at once to drive the tunnel to the
big vein.

Milwaukee
Capital ~
On the Way

HHORD was received in the city this week,
wv through communication to one of
the mining men, that the Little Richard
properties would open again in May and
that work would be prosecuted vigorously
until the mountain was fully and thor
oughly developed. These properties adjoin
the Lexington on the east and are known as
big propositions. Win J. Morgan, the well
known financial agent, has practically been
in charge of them but we understand that
some disagreement resulted in close down
just as the shaft had been sunk sufficient
distance to open up splendid bodies of ore
of high grade. A gentleman who worked
as miner in the properties just before the
close down is authority for the statement
that smelling streak from five to seven
inches in width had been uncovered from
which he took assays that run 81 ounces in
gold.
There is little doubt that the property has
already opened up as big proposition.
