RUFF TRIAL
WILL CONTINUE
Court Tells Jury of Shooting and
First Witness Testifies

SAN FRANCISCO. Cal. Nov. is--
After much argument By counsel on
both sides Of the famous Ruef graft
case the motions for a change Of
venue BY the defendant was denied.
The counsel for the defendants had
alleged as a ground for their charge
that 50 much bias existea against
Rnef because Of the attempted as
sassInation Of Heney that Il was Inn
possible for him 10 secure fair trial:
that the jury had heard the shots Of
the would-be assassin, aeen Heney
wounded, and also that the defend
ants life was In danger, and that
threats had been made against the
lives Of his attorneys. Tho state
filed counter afIidayits. aud the court
held that no matters had come TO
the jury which would presg sics them
against the defendant. and that IL
also felt that Rlief and HIS attorneys
were perfectly safe. and ordered the
case TO be resumed this morning at
10 o'clock.
Court Tells Jury of Shooting.
When the case was resumed this
morning the court room and pro-
ceedings had less OF a military as
pect than yesterday. This excitement
that has prevailed apong the citizens
ever since the attempted -assassinA-
ton has abated. and there were few
er guards in the court room. Ruof
came heavily guarded and took his
seat beside his counsel, and seemed
less agitated than yesterday. An
soon as the court had been convened
Judge Lawlor told the jury about
the shooting OF Heney. After giving
them a brief history Of the shooting
and also the suicide or Haas be ad-
monished them that they must not
permit any OF the facts entering In
to the shooting 10 influence them in
any way In the elaboration Of the
evidence submitted TO them IN the
case. and then the case proceeded.
Gallagher First Witness.
The first witness 70 be called "a
the stand was Jim Gallagher. The
leader Of the boodling supervisors.
On direct examination he told the
complete story OF his connection with
the graft and boodling schemes Of
Ruef. Counsel for the defendant
submitted him 10 q searching cross
examination, but they were unable
20 shake the story that he had told
on the direct examination.

allege incompetency, and will be pre-
scented to the police commissioners
for their consideration at their next
meeting. The exact nature OF the
charges cannot be learned, but 1t Is
known that they pertain to the sui
eide Of Haas, the would be assassin
OF Francis J. Heney. Much harsh
public criticism has been made
against Biggy because OF what 1t is
deemed negligence on his part in
making search of Haas, when he
was taken to the jail, for the revolt
yer with which he committed suicide
and for not making more careful
search of his wife when she was per-
mitted to visit her husband at the
jail. A large number OF persons
cling to the theory that Haas had
the revolver on his person when he
entered the jail. and It was overlook
ed by the police officers because OF
the careless search of his person.
Captain Duke, the ofIicer who search
ed him is being blamed for this gross
carelessness by the chief Of police,
but Duke maintains that he made q
close search of the prisoner. Detec.
tive Burns. however. is OF the opin-
ion that Haas did not have the re
volver when he entered the Jail, but
that 1t was passed to him by his
wife. and it is believed that this
charge viii be made IN the papers
now being prepared against Biggy,
and also the further charge that
Haas was not properly guarded when
he committed suicide.

ing recount of the votes.
Mr.. Keane states emphatically In
the notice that he does not question
the competency, honesty or trust
worthiness OF the several judges Of
the election, but insists that there
was illegal and wrongful counting Of
the ballots, due to Misrepresentation
of the law in reference to counting
ballots in the following precincts:
kellogg, Mullan, Gem and four vot-
ing precincts in the city Of Wallace.
The trouble arose over the ignor-
ance of the laws requirements In
marking ballots and from a source
that seems should have ceased to
exist long ago. Many ballots were
marked with a cross in the circle at
the head Of the republican column
and further down a cross would ap-
pear IN the circle opposite the name
OF candidate Of some other than the
republican party, while the name OF
the republican senator, Joseph P.
Keane, would not be scratched OF
erased. Under rulings made on this
subject heretofore. this can only Be
legally counted as q straight repub-
lican vote for every candidate on
the republican ticket and the vote
for no candidate on any other ticket

PERMANENCY OF ORE BODIES

In discussing the question Of the
.permanency of the ore deposits or Bal
loon Hill. President King said:
when I first visited the district last
October, one of the features that led
me to believe that the ore deposits
would prove to be permanent is that
all the evidences point to the deposit

ascending solutions and that the miner

ton, such as we have in Montana, where
the lime has been titled by eruptive rocks
that the gold bearing solutions have
come up through the eruptive rocks and
flown downward thraugh the starta of
lime and deposited their gold values at
a comparatively shallow depth. Tha
was my experience in Montana, particu-
larly in the Gilt Edge and Barnes-King
mines.
Another thing that strengthened my
belief that the ore deposits of the camp
go to great depth is the prevalence of
silver values. Nearly all gold-bearing
solutions carry more or less silver, and
hat is generally deposited farther
down in the veins: so that the pres
ence of silver is always a good indica-
ton Of permanency. The ores on the
Comstock carried a large percentage OF
silver. and the depth to which those |

Pacific. The charge for hauling the
ores to the railroad is IS. But all the
ores can be milled on the ground. The
developments on the rich estates of
the Rawhide Queen. Rawhide Console
dated and Rawhide Coalition justify the
erection of mills of large capacity to
reduce their ores. President E. w.
King of the Rawhide Queen is now con-
sidering plans for the installation of a
forty-stamp mill at a point near the
company's holdings. and it is probable
nat work will be commenced early
next month.
In speaking of his project. King
said: while a rich camp like Raw
hide can live for a certain length of
time on the high grade ores. 1t sooner
or later has got to get down to the

On this lease there is a shaft down

lied part of this vein is a secondary
silihcation Of porphyry and is very
soft: that is, the silihcation has not
been complete. Within this ledge and
running parallel with it are tale seams.
The naturalization of this is what
might be termed banded that is,
there are bands of very rich ore alter

seams separate the enriched zones from
the leaner ones, and perhaps from the
