which Is not OF suiliclcn! Volume to
pay for the erection uf al arrastra,
which is a crude quartz crusher oper-
ated by mule power, or even by hand.
The arrastra, by the way, is precise
! y the sort of mill to which the Phil
! istines harnessed Samson, according
! to the familiar picture by Dore. The
discoverer then rigs a spring pestle
with which he pulverizes the rotten
quartz-running the powder through
the dry washer.
Early in the COS two young fei-
lows found such a stringer near the
deserted camp Of Ehrenburg. With
pestle and dry washer they managed
to get out several thousand dollars
worth Of dust, but good deal Of the
rock was too refractory to be worked
in that way, and this was sacked in
the form Of specimens and concen-
trates, the whole amounting to over
$4,000.
They came down the river in boat,
which was tipped over in three feet
of water within q few miles Of Yuma
by big dog that accompanied the
party, and tried to climb aboard after
being pitched out for swim. Not a
cents worth Of the cargo was saved.
The bottom Of the Colorado is vast
deposit Of silt and quicksand. Dred-
gers have sunk seventy feet in it
above Laguna without touching bed
rock.
The placer miners say the gold Of
the desert which the dry washer re-
covers in such minute quantities was
deposited by the river, the bed OF
which is liable to- /change materially
in a few weeks. In the mile deep
canyon that is one Of the worlds Won
ders, ditch from five to fifteen miles
wide and hundreds Of miles long, cut
through a highly mineralized region,
there must have been many rich lodes,
richer perhaps than any Of which the
world holds record. These, the action
Of the water through countless ages,
has disintegrated and carried far
down toward the delta Of the great
river in the form of dust and nuggets.
The Colorado is natural flume.
Its bottom, deep under the silt where
riffs and ridges Of bedrock form
milewide rifles, is a treasure mouse
whose riches no man may estimate.
But even the opaque water is said !"
carry an average Of twenty-five cents
worth Of gold to the ton, held in solu-
ton or floating on the surface.
Every miner knows that gold will
float, the flour gold whose particles
are so minute that only the avid grip
Of quicksilver may clutch and hold it.
Perhaps some day some Jernigan will
make good and wrest it from the
broad and shallow Colorado a treas
ure that will complicate anew the re-
lation Of the precious metals.
Meanwhile the chief source of pro-
duction, so far. as these placer de-
posits are concerned, will continue to
be that legacy of the Aztecs, the dry
washer.

Refuses to Produce Letters-lndiCt-
ment for Mrs. Thaw?
During the session of the court Del
pas sent genuine thrill through the
court room by declaring that lie had
been Informed il waS the purpose o.
the district attorney to indict Mrs.
Thaw. Jerome denied that amy such
statements had been made. He did
not deny the purpose. This incident
occurred when Jerome demanded Ger
tain letters from Stanford White which
Mrs Harry Thaw said were in Attor
ney Hartridge's possession. Hartridge
was put on the stand and refused 10 re
ply to some questions, when Delmas
arose and stated that Hartridge had
been retained by Mrs. Thaw to pro-
tect her interests when she had heard
the threats that she was to be indicted.
When Mrs. 1haw went back on the
stand she said she gave the letters to
Harry Thaw, but was perfectly wllinS.
that they should be produced. Then
Jerome had subpoena made out for
Hartridge, and again demanded the
letters. Hartridge refused to produce
them and Jerome appealed to the
judge, who told Jerome that his sub
poena was lacking a necessary affida-
Wit and there was nothing upon which
the Judge could act. Then Jerome al
rected the preparation of the affidavit
but made no further move.
The session ended with a squabblc
rs to the examination of two medical
witnesses from Pittsburg who wanted
to get back to their patients, but the
defendants counsel insisted that the
examination of Mrs. Thaw should pro
coed. The matter was finally dropped
it being made known that the medi~
cal witnesses would remain to testify
when wanted.
