started this week getting out
lumber and timbers for the new
quartz mill. The construction
work is under the supervision of
Bert Wilson, and he hopes to
have the mill erected and run
ming this fall. Most Of the
machinery is on the ground and
. will be installed as soon as Dos
. sible. In the meantime Supt.
Adamson is going ahead degeI-
oping the mines and taking ont
ore and storing it preparatory TO
starting the mill. The Parker
district is noted for its high
I grade gold and silver ores. and
/ the best runs all the way from
$500 to 81, 900 per ton, and they
have blocked out and extracted
nearly enough ore to pay for
putting in the mill, and it is no
small item to install a mill so
far from railroad transportation.
From the end Of the wagon road.
about 10 miles, they have to
pack in the machinery and sup
plies. The company, however,
expect to extend the wagon road
to the mines next season. From
that point the Lost Packer com
pany say they viii extend the
road to their smelter and mines
at Ivers, on Loon Creek. thereby
making direct road for them
to Mackay, over a good water
grade. This route it is said
would shorten the road from
Mackay to Ivers p miles, and a
cutoff of that distance would be
a great saving on freight and
time, beside it would not De a.

becoming a busy little mining
camp, and much credit is due
Messrs. Adamson, Stevens and
Cewen, the owners, for their
efforts and rustling qualities in
the camp out. Ore was
first discovered and the Parker
mine located by Edwin Williams
and W. W. Adamson about four
years ago.
The Parker IS not a stock
company, but is owned exclu-
sively by the three gentlemen
above mentioned, who each own
one-third interest, consequent

market for sale. The owners
thought there was good money

Judge LawIor's Talk With the
Wounded Lawyer Touching
Scene in Courtroom Drama

The short talk between Judge Law
lor and Heney. as the former bent over
the wounded man while he lay on the
floor of the courtroom Friday afternoon,
was extremely affecting.
Judge. they have got me at last,
mumured Heney looking straight in
Lawlor's eyes.
You are not so badly hurt as that,
the judge replied lightly placing his
hand on Heney's head
Yes l am" the suffering lawyer re-
Joined. Judge. will you send for my
wife and tell her | love her better
than any one else in the world?'
II VIII do it,, the judge said. s he
turned away, deeply moved by the
words
DR.. F'ranck was standing close by.
Judge Lawlor turned to him and asked
him as to the seriousness of the wound.
Heney's eyes followed those of the
Judge and with his rested on the face
of DR.. Franck. as the latter replied:
He is pretty badly hurt l am
afraid"
The incident showed that Heney's
brain was working as clearly and logic
ally as at any other time, and those
standing around who noticed it could
not believe that the bullet had touched
his brain.
Immediately after this happened
Judge Lawlor dispatched q messenger
for Mrs. Heney. He then suggested the
taking of a dying declaration. AS
sistant District Attorney O'Gara asked
the Judge if he would take the state
ment but the Judge thought it was
O'Gara's duty, and the prosecutor there
upon took from Heney the few broken
words he uttered in the belief that he
was dying.
Judge Lawlor. who was very collected
in the emergency, next sought out a
policeman and instructed him that he
must be prepared for any outbreak or
for any species of unlawful action, and
must protect the man Haas from vio-
lence. Some apprehension was occa-
stoned at this stage by the absence of
Ruef, but in little while he returned
TO the courtroom. The judge was par
ticularly anxious for the return of Ruef,
so that court could be retonvened and
the jury sent away.
AS soon as Ruef came back the judge,
lawyers and prisoner went into the
jury. Standing on the stairway, Judge
Lawlor called the court to order and
dismissed the jury until 10 O'Clock Mon
day. Then adjourning to the court
room, Judge Lawlor ordered Ruef into
custody.
Before this the jury had heard that
Heney was shot, but it is not known
who informed them. 1t is not believed
the Jurors know who fired, the shot or
any of the circumstances. F. J. Coyle,
the deputy sheriff in charge of the
jury, said yesterday that the jurors
fully realized the delicate nature of the
situation and were not lbothering him
with questions which he could not an
swer All they asked yesterday was
as to the condition of Heney, and by
advice of the Judge Coyle told them

Both the young woman and the negro

GUARD FOR RUFF
ASKED BY JUDGE
Conference With Counsel Called
to Insure Against Failure of
BOcdIer TO Appear

II developed yesterday that during
HE recess OF the court in which Heney
was shot Judge Lawlor had. in a con-
terence in his chambers, laid before
the lawyers on both sides his convic-
tion that Ruef should be kept in Gus
tody or under surveillance for the re-
msinder Of the trial The Judge wanted
TO have the same assurance that Ruef
would appear in court each morning
as he had that the jurors would be
there. The great length Of the trial, so
far as it had gone. made him extremely
anxious that nothing should happen
that would cause a mistrial To guard
against the possibility of the defendant
decsmping. or against his being kid
naped. or against any occurrence or
accident that would tend to vitiate all
the proceedings had heretofore. the
Judge suggested to the attorneys
and Ach and Dozier for the defense
that special means should be adopted
10 insure absolutely the appearance of
Ruef in court every day.
Although il was entirely within the
discretion OF the judge 10 order Ruef
into custody Of the sheriff he did not
propose doing that. The plan was that
some person in whom the court had ab-
solute confidence should be designated
10 remain Win bne graiung boss day
and night and be responsible for his ap-
pesrance in court Anxious not to de-
prive Ruef or his attorneys OF their
rights and not TO put them to any in
convenience, the judge would not take
the formal step without consulting the
lawyers IN the case. He made il clear.
however, that some method of surveil-
lance was to be inaugurated.
Ach did not object, as he could not.
10 the judges plan. il was proposed
that the consent OF Ruef's sureties
should be obtained. and for this to be
done the matter went over 20 Monday
afternoon, when IL was to be further
discussed. II the arrangement had been
carried out it was 10 be done unob-
