THE BOY
CONFESSES

Charlie Oakes, 16 years old,
who was arrested Saturday
charged with the theft of
watch and chain from an Ital-
ian laborer's home on Colorado
to Sheriff Schrader Sunday
morning.
When arrested Oakes was drunk,
and stated that he had secured the
watch from David Beecraft, a boy of
about his age, and had sold it to a
boy in the country for $3.50. He
entered the home of the Italian, the
mans wife claimed, while she was
out of doors. She saw him about the
place.
sobered up. young Oakes exonerated
Beecraft, and said he was guilty. For
three years he has been under sus-
pended sentence on conviction be-
fore Judge Sullivan of stealing some
money. Having broken his parole,
he will be taken before Judge Sulli-
van soon in the juvenile court, and
will probably be sent without delay
to the reform school.
His father, Squire Oakes. has for
a long time been an employe of the
city in the street department, and is
highly respected by all who know
him. The boy. however. has proved
incorrigible. 1t is not known where
he secured the liquor on which he
got drunk.

o. j. Anderson was the first of the
new venire to be called into the jury
box. He is a locomotive engineer,
who has lived seven years in Grand
Junction. He said he had read of
the Collins murder in Salt Lake and
Pittsburg papers, but had never talk
ed with anyone who claimed to know
the facts in the case.
Attorney Carnahan tried to get Mr.
Anderson to admit that he had talked
of the case since he was served with
a summons, Friday, but this the
venireman refused to do, saying he
had been on the road almost the
whole time since being served. Mr..
Anderson further said that he favors
capital punishment in a proper case.
Have you formed any opinion in
this case?" asked Mr.. Carnahan.

POTOSI.

The conservative superintendent Of
the Potosi mine continues to keep two
shifts Of minors on No. level, prepar-
ing to drift north on the home claim,
under the town. That the vein main
tains its character and Importance at
this level proves that the ores of this
district continue to great depth, from
the fact that this level of the Potosi
is at least 200 feet deeper down than
the 100 foot level of the Trade Dollar
and nearly as deep as the Sinker tun-
mel, under the old Chariot mine on War
Eagle, in both of which places good
grade of ore has been found. The Po-
tosi shaft is another demonstration
that the ores of the district do 90 to
great depth and the mines have a per-
manency heretofore doubted. In other
words Owyhee mines do go down, and
many of them thought to have been
worked out in the early days of mining
when they encounted barren zone,
only needed little more perseverance,
to prove their permanent value.

senting extracts from letter writer

But little is to be said regarding the

than that the manager and mine super

progressing satisfactorily both in the
mine and on the mill construction.
The machinery for the mill is nearly
all on the ground, thanks to the favora-
BILE weather and the condition of The

rived yesterday. A residence for Mr..
Fred Inglis has been completed. The
transformer house, about a 100 feet
east of the mill, is finished The work
OF placing the machinery will soon be
begun.
II the mines work is being conduct
ed on No drift north, with fue
showing of white granulated quarlz, in
which some fine specimens of silver and
iron sulphides are found, and the cross
cut and upraise. back 100 feet from the
face of No. drift north, where the

continues to show very rich streaks OF

Having purchased block of stock of
the Poiosi Mining Co., | visited the
mine at Silver City, Idaho, in August,
1907, While there / met Mr.. w. F.
Summersamp, the Sec'y-Treas and
business manager of the company and
Mr.. ]. E. Masters, the mine supertend-
ent. was agreeably impressed with
their careful, conservative, business
management Everything had the ap-
pearance of stability and thorough
ness. The location is most convenient,
being within the city limits. A stream
running near the plant will furnish all
water necessary for milling purposes.
Tie electrical machinery does the work
economically and rapidly.
A fresh lot of or tons of high
grade ore had been taken from the tun-
ueI on the 200 foot level and dumped
in the bin. With the permission of Mr..
Sommercamp | attempted to get an av-
erage sample of the ore. With ham,
mer broke up anumber or large Jumps
of ore, taking a quantity of each, with
some of the fine ore in the bin. |
ground it all together and put away the
pulp to have assayed next went
down the shaft, accompanied by Sup
erintendent Masters, who explained
the different parts of the mine and ma
chinery to me. My main purpose was
to get samples or ore from the differ
parts of the Potosi ledge and have it
assayed. So following the instructions
of a competent mining engineer l took
pick and chipped across the ledge
every few feet the entire length of the
tunnel. l found the ledge exposed
for nearly 500 feet south of the shaft,
and probably Clipped across 30 or more
times This ore mixed and ground
and saved a sample. l next visited the
Kuickerbocker shaft. This is rich vein
of ore abeut 40 feet from the Potosi on
the same property. | found no new
work had been done and not much ore
exposed. 1t had been taken out by
former leasers, but 1 got few samples
