this city this afternoon at o'clock, and
that they would take Galbraith back
with them, where he will have his pre-
liminary trial on Friday.
Galbraith was in peculiar mood when
seen at the county Jail this forenoon.
When questioned as to his chances for
escaping the consequences of his crime
| he discussed the prohilities in keen,
judicial mannsr.
"Your defense will probably be insan-
| ity?" he was asked.
II don't see what else can rely on"
wad his aoswer. II certainly could not
have been in my right mind when l did
it, nor for some time afterward. Why,
nobody but crazy man would have let
those bodies there where they would
have been discovered, surely. Then af-
terward l came right down here to Den
yer, hung around town and showed my,
self to lots of people who knew me-"
"But you were about to leave town
and go to Mexico when you were arrest
ed?"
mo: never thought of leaving town" )"
he declared.
How about that trip that you and
Mrs. Russell took to Russell gulch?" he
was asked.
"Why-er / don't remember much
about it, except that we went, and for
got who vas in the partyn' Galbraith
said craftily.
1t is only at intervals that Galbraith
can begin to realize the extent OF his
crime, he said this forenoon. II was
about to commit suicide when l was ar
rested" he told chief armstrong.
"If you were turned loose with ten guns
you wouldn't point one of them toward
yourself" was the cool response OF the
chief.
When told that he would be taken
back to Gilpin county this afternoon
Galbraith betrayed some CONSERVATION
"Oh, no." he said; "they won't take me
back until can get lawyer"
Meanwhile the unfortunate man spends
his time in an apparently calm and un-
concerned manner in the county jail. He
is dressed in a flashy spring suit oi
Scotch homespun. His hat, soft grey
spring shape, is pulled rakishly over his
left temple; a blue sweater with large
collar completes the contrast in The un'
usual costume.
Galbraith yesterday in an interview
stated that he had planned the murder
since the first of the year.

Saratoea Said to be Leased

From n most reliable source, Siftings
can state that the great Saratoga mine
in Gilpin county has passed into the
possession of Idaho Springs mining men,
and that as soon as necessary details can
be arranged the property will be worked
to its utmost limit. From time to time
rnmors of this transfer have hoated
around, but this is the first time that
positive statement OF the transfer has
been published.
The property lies along the route Of
the great Newhouse tunnel and me-
gotiations are now pending having for
their object the driving OF the great bore
to intersect the known mineral bodies OF
the Saratoga and as soon as these ar.
rangements are complsied work will
Commence. 1t is estimated that the
present breast OF the Newhouse tunnel
is about 1900 feet from the Saratoga
vein, and when the work is once com
menced, 200 feet per month car be made
This work alono would give employment
to large number OF men and oncs the
ed, an immence amount of ore would be
brought out on this side OF the hills
1t is conceded that the Saratoga is one
OF the biggest propositions in the entire
district, and the mine has been devel-
oped to great depth. but owing to an
immense volume of water it has been an
expensive property to work, the pump.
Ing OF water being herculean task.
Once intersected by the tunnel this
obstacle would be overcome and the
mine would at once become heavy pro-
ducer.
This news will be most welcome by
everyone IN the district, for the resump.

opening OF the Saratoga would be OF in

AGED MINING MAN SUES
TO RECOVER HIS PROPERTY
jacob Schrieber Wants j. l.. Murphy
to Surrender Deed for Lower
California Mines.

A suit to annul an agreement for
the sale Of mining property on the
peninsula of Lower California and to
recover the deed and patent to the
claims deposited in the Western Ma
tional Bank was begun yesterday by
Jacob Schrieber against ]. Luttrell
Murphy and the La Reforma Mining
Company The complainant says
Murphy was his attorney and repre-
sented that he had been engaged in
practice with the late Robert G. In
gersoll in New York.
Schrieber, who is rs years old, says
he had so much faith in the lawyer
that in March, 1902, they made an
agreement whereby Schrieber was to
sell his claims to Murphy for
s25O.OOO-S500 down and the
balance out of 25 per cent of
the proceeds of the mine. The plain
tiff says Murphy agreed to raise
$4,000 to get the mine under opera
ton. but has been unable to interest
capital in the enterprise. He has not
paid the $500 and declined to give up
the bargain, says Schrieber.

CHINATOWN FREED FROM
GRASP OF INJUNCTION
Police Start in to Raid Gambling and
Lottery Resorts, but Their
Success Is Slight

The preliminary injunction asked
for by the Wee Ong Tong was denied
by Judge Cook yesterday morning and
the order restraining the police from
entering gambling and lottery places
in Chinatown was vacated, to take eff
feet at the noon hour.
This gave the Chinese gamblers
about an hour and half of grace and
they made good use of it. Sergeant
Ellis and his squad had received in
structions from Chief Whitman to en-
ter every gambling or lottery resort
and If need be break down the doors.
The squad started promptly on time.
but when they entered the resorts they
found that everything of a gambling
nature had disappeared except in one
place on St. Louis alley There they
found gambling paraphernalia and the
FIVE inmates of the room were ar
rested for violating the ordinance
which makes 1t misdemeanor to eX-
pose gambling paraphernalia to view
in a barricaded room. They were
promptly released on bail.
The injunction had been in force
since January 26 and all these months
the hands of the police were tied. 1t
was shown by the evidence of Kim
You, president of the Wee Ong Tong,
that the monthly profits from the
tong's gambling resorts was $4,000.
Attorney Collins says he will apply for
another injunction.

10 an Alleged Friend of the

Arthur Mietrasch, proprietor of a
restaurant at 4Os Pacific street, got a
warrant from Police Judge Fritz yes
terday for the arrest of John Doe" on
a charge Of grand larceny. He ex-
planned that on Saturday night a
stranger called at his restaurant and
inquired if George was there. He was
informed that George was not there,
but might call at any minute. The
stranger went away. but returned in
half an hour.
Has George come YETI" he asked.
Mietrasch said no, and. his curiosity
being aroused, he asked the stranger
if anything was wrong. The stranger
muttered that it was too bad and
finally said: We'll. I'm a personal
friend Of the Chief of Police, who tells
me that George has been gambling and
lost $50. The Chief has given him to
midnight to make the loss good, other
wise George, poor fellow, will be ar
rested"
Mietrasch's sympathy was aroused
and he opened his safe. He had moth
ing but $40 gold pieces, so he gave the
stranger three of them, telling him
that George might need the other ten.
Neither George nor the Chiefs alleged
friend has been heard Of since.

Vote to Submit Charter

The Board of Supervisors yesterday
declineS to submit to the voters the
six PROPOSED charter amendments af-
fecting the Public School Department
at a special election on January 5, 1905,
as requested by the Board OF Educa-
ton. Instead, the first named board
adopted resolutions providing for the
submission at the general election OF
November 6, 1906, the six school pro-
posais in addition to the other twenty
two charter amendments which the
Supreme Court decided could not be
submitted at to-day's election because
the time that must elapse between
elections on charter amendments
has not expired. Action was taken
on the recommendation of the joint

Amendments. which reported that 1t
is against sound public policy to sub
nit the amendments at a special cleo
ton.
Roncovieri said the resolution recit-
ing that 1t is against sound public
policy to submit the amendments at a
special election" was equivalent to the
Supervisors setting themselves up above
the State constitution, which makes
mandatory the submission of the prop
