Granite, Colo.-Two mills have been

constructed on modern lines. consist

Frue vanners, concentrating tables

gold and a good per cent. Of lead. Two
mills runs made last fall at the Snug
gel mill, Aspen, returned concen-
trates that assayed $3.50 and $3.50 per
ton, and the estimated net profit to
the Ruby Mines Company will average
at least 81 1000 per day.
The Sargent company has finished
the five-ton stamp mill at Miley. and
the initial run was made with ores

The plant consists of stamps and con-

time the jury was out had conveyed
b general impression that there could
be no other outcome than a disagree
ment. The rumors which spread so
rapidly and frequently throughout the
night, and which were as unreliable as
such rumors always are, were gener-
ally to the effect hat a majority of
the jurors had voted for conviction.
Some were ever so radical as to say
that the only difference of opinion ex-
listing in the jury wal as to the degree
Of guilt. The apprehension of disagree
ment spread ever to members of the
defendants counsel, and when to this
feeling were added the rumors of
an adverse decision, which continually
beat about their ears during the night,
there could be found none to doubt the
g%enuineness of their joy as the verdict
was read.

Jap Must Meet Serious Charge.

Sterling, Colo.-Joseph O~nodera, n
Japanese beet contractor, was arrested
on an information sworn to by Miss
Gertrude Early, eighteen years of age,
charging him with criminal assault.
The young woman is a daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Isaac Early. prominent farm
ers living near Merino.
Miss Early was employed as a do
nestle at the home Of ]. r. Shelly, a
ne~ishboring rancher, and occupied a
bedroom in a secluded portion of the
house. Onodera worked on the farm,
and Miss Early asserts that about 2
o'clock Sunday morning Onodera en-
tered her room and gained her couch
before h was aware of his presence.
Monday morning she returned to
her home and informed her parents Of
what had happened. Onodera admits
the intimacy, but alleges that 1t was
with the girls consent.

Seoul. Korea.-Twe4ve hundred sol.
diers are arriving daily. General
Okazki has been placed in command
of all armed forces in Seoul. The EN-
peror of Korea sent congratulations to
Marquis Ito for his services In Korea
and a monetary to be distributed
among the soldiers and police. The
Japanese foreign minister, Viscount
Haayashi, was received in audience by
the Emperor.
Marquis Ito gave the Associated
Press the following statement:
THE agreement reached insures mu-
tual welfare. The country has quoted
since the agreement. A japanese gar.
rison will be required to prevent the
possibility of danger from Korean
troops.
The s%tipulations of the new conven.
ton dispose of the accusations that
Japan intended to gradually annex
Korea. Annexation is opposed by me
an unwise and unnecessary.
THE p~rotectorate is a burden and
the increase of a problem,
Fortunately the revenues are neces.
sal as was the case in Formosa,
where 1t took twelve years to increase
them from $4,000. 900 to IS, 1000, 900 an,
nually. In the progress of Korea liz.
norance is the greatest obstacle. The
next was the court of the misguided
ex-Emperor."

Find the Holy Grail.

London.-The express prints a story
of the discovery near Glastonbury Alb
hey of a glass vessel of beautiful work
manship and apparently of great an
tiquity. which one, at least, of the dis
%coverers, believes is the Holy Grail of
the Arthurian legend. The Holy Grail
is the III from which Christ is re-
puted to have drunk at the last sup
per, and. according to ancient British
tradition, 1t was brought to England
by Joseph of Arimathea after the cru
cifixion.
The vessel is of blush green glass
of some kind, cunningly inlaid with
silver. A number of eminent persons,
including some peers with ecclesiasti-
cal interests, Ambassador Reid, Pro-
fessor William Crookes Int the Rev.
r. j. Campbell. have examined it. 1t
is now in the possession of Professor
Crookes, who have undertaken to solve
its history.

/. MILLIoN-poLLAR MINE TEMPLE
Magnificent Structure Now Assured
for Denver in Near Future.

Denver. - Denver has practically
been assured the big 81 .0OO,0 200 mining
temple which is to be built under the
direction of the American Mining Con-
gress.
At a special meeting of the directors
of the congress to take place in Den
yer during the latter part OF August
plans will be made to raise the funds
necessary to begin the building. 1t is
the intention to buy land as a site for
the temple early this fall.
Though the committee to have
charge of selecting the site has not ar
rived at a definite conclusion as to its
probable location, 1t is expected that
either Eighteenth or Nineteenth street,
close to the site of the new federal
building will be h most favorable.
Judge ]. H. Richards of Boise is n
of the principal members of the execu-
tive committee interested in building
the temple in Denver, having been Sc
lected as one of the three members
of the committee that will have general
supervision over the erection of the
big mining monument in Denver The
other members are Governor Buchtel,
representing the state, and Meyer
Friedman, president of the Chamber of
Commerce.
Members of this committee, in addi-
ton to the directors of the congress,
will assemble at the Chamber of Com
merce at the meeting during the latter
part of August and when the business
directly connected with the mining
congress is transacted the fund plans
will be discussed.
Judge Richards has given much of
his time toward the best method of
raising the necessary funds and it is
the belief of Denver members of the
congress that he will present an origi-
nal plan. When the temple movement
was first suggested he argued in favor
of Denver as the most suitable place
for h big building. explaining that it
was pretty nearly in the very center
of the really wealthy mineral district
of the United States.
1t has since the first proposition of
building a mining temple in Denver
been the view Of Judge Richards that
large investments in the building will
be the most convenient and at the
same time will assure a speedier build
ing of the temple. Judge Richards will
be n OF the heavy investors.
Upon learning of the new progress
In the temple building movement real
estate men have attempted to figure
out the probable location of the tenn
pie n it is their belief that it will re-
suit in a boom in surrounding property
similar to what is now taking place in
the neighborhood of the site for the
new federal building.
In addition to more definitely decid-
ing on a plan for raising funds for the
building of the temple and the selec-
ton of a site, it is expected that the
directors of the movement will ask
several architects to furnish sugges-
lions for the temple and to arrange
outlines of new building schemes.

Turkish Spies Swarm New York.

New York.-The Rev. Levont Mar
togessian, once treasurer of the Hun
chakist, the Armenian society which
outsiders say has fallen from its high
estate of patriotism to the practical
one of blackmail. has given a new
twist to the district attorneys inves-
tigation Of the organization.
The priest testified that the present
agitation. ostepsibly directed by repu-
table Armenians against a band of as
s~assins. was inspired by the Turkish
government. whose hired spies syste-
m~aticaiiy sought to discredit the pa
triotic Armenians in this country. Fa
ther Martogessian had. he admitted,
formerly been treasurer of the Hun
chakist, but some time & withdrew.
He knew nothing OF the murder OF
the rug merchant Taxshanjian, who
had refused to pay $4,000 for his life,
and II extortion had been practiced he
knew nothing of 1t. On the contrary,
he told the district attorney that he
himself was the object OF persecution
on the part of the Turkish govern
ment.
The priest brought with him a let
ter not signed. in which a threat to
take his life was made. He turned
1t over to the district attorney.
After leaving Mr.. Smyth's off e Fa-
Their Martogessian said:
II am entirely innocent of these in
situations which have been cast
against me. All my troubles have
been brought on by Turkish spies.
There are fifty of them in this city.

LoeANcouNTY LAND RECLAIMED
Thousands Of Acres Brought Under
irrigation.

Sterling, Colo.-A special election
was held recently In that portion of
Logan county recently formed into
the North Sterling irrigation district at
which the question of an issue of bonds
carried unanimously. The and own
ers of the district voted to issue bonds
in the sum of sl,4G0, 900. The money
derived from this source is to be eX-
pended in constructing a system of
reservoirs and bitches for irrigation
purposes. Two reservoirs will be built,
one about two miles west of Atwood
and the other out of n natural site on
Cedar creek, twelve miles northwest
of Iliff. - -
BY the election the people have au-
thorized the first important step in the
reclamation Of a vast tract of arid land
never heretofore used except for graz
ing. All this is changed and what be-
fore has been a desert will produce
abundant crops in the next few years.
1t is the first reservoir system of I'M
portance constructed in Logan county.
Over 10000 acres will be made irri-
gable when the two reservoirs are COM
pleted. The capacity of the reservoirs
will be sufficient to furnish water for
some 10000 acres of Ian already I'M
der ditch. but which have not been
able to get enough water.
1t is the purpose of the men back of
the irrigation project to place the
bonds on the market at once, and as
soon as they are sold construction
work will begin. In anticipation of the
success of the project the great bulk
Of land under the proposed ditch and
reservoirs has been taken up. There is
little left to homestead.

THE FIRST STATE CAPITAL.
Did Timer Gives Some Early History
Of Colorado.

The following letter recently APP
pearing in the Denver Times furnishes
rome very interesting data concerning
pioneer history of the state. The let
ter reads:
Touching the question of moving the
Did Chinese laundry from Colorado
City to Denver as a capitol relic, allow
an old settler to give an item or two
OF history, wherein he was a partici-
pant.
The building hat John Chinaman
has occupied for many years as a
washee-washee house is not and never
was any part of the Legislative cabins
or capitol buildings. Said cabin was
erected and occupied by DR.. James
Garvin. the first physician who To-
Gated at Colorado City, and who came
across the plains in May, 1859, in the
time that the undersigned crossed, in
search of gold.
When the Legislature convened at
Colorado City in 1861 1t was in compli-
ance with a statute passed by the first
session of the same Legislature
which session was held in Denver. in
pursuance of the command of the Zen
abling act" of Congress.
This second session convened at
Colorado City. the capital, n the
lower house of representatives, assem-.
bled in a frame house built by John
M. Francisco of Fort Garland for a
store building. and Its location was
several lots below or down street from
the said Chinese cabin, and has since
been demolished to give place to a
better building.
The upper house or council, as II
was called, held its sessions in a
kitchen or wing of Mrs. Maggard's no
tel on Center street, about three
blocks distant.
That building was a log house, but
has long since been used for firewood.
Mr.. Francisco was a member of the
council from Conejos county, and the
writer was a member of the lower
house or representative from FL Paso
county, and should therefore be quail.
fed to state the facts of history accu'
rately.
The Legislature was in session only
about four days at Colorado City
when 1t adjourned to Denver for the
balance of the session on the ground
that the capitol was deficient in ac
commodations and that the lei Gov
ernor Evans refused to remove tbs
records of his Office or to come himself
to the capitol, and a majority of the
Legislature agreed with him and ad
journed the balance of the session tC
Denver, having been at Colorado CITY
four days.
During that session the capitol wa.
removed to Golden City, n at TIL
following session the capitol was 10
Gated permanently at Denver.
Such is the history of the capitol at
fair at Colorado City, and of the CAPT
tol buildings. There are yet three o
four people living at Colorado Cit,
who can testify to these facts. A. 2
Sheldon and Anthony Bott are two o
them.
Colorado City was at that time tn
home and play ground of thousands o
antelope, n none of us in our wildes
hope yer dreamed of a city, or eve
a village being located there.
