He agreed that the County Attorneys
should do the criminal work, but some
times it is necessary for the Attorney
General to assist Maui now wanted a
deputy from his Office to help.
The bill now cuts out one attorney
already. If the House will allow only
one deputy all the work cannot be done.
The bill now asks for $4,000 less than
last year.
Castro moved the item pass
Rice renewed his arguments and
wanted to cut the item out He told
the Attorney General to put more work
on the County Attorneys.
"Our Territorial government is kept
too large he explained, although
acknowledging how hard it was for the
Legislature to have to cut it down.
Sheldon said he realized that there
was much work to do and suggested
that the Attorney General and his depu-
ties leave private practise alone and at
tend to their official work. The sala-
ries would have to be raised, however,
to give them a sufficient income
Douthitt wanted to know if the de-
partment could not get along with one
stenographer and one clerk. Hemen-
way said the force now was always
busy.
Other members took a hand in the
cross-examination, Sheldon finally NOV
ing the passage of the item.
Rice moved to defer, his motion car
rying.
Clerk ................. .$ 2,400'
Assistant Clerk ........ 1901
"Stenographer ..... 2,400 =
Assistant stenographer -. 1900
Expenses ......... II 400
Single moved to increase the paw
of the clerk to 1925 and cut out the
assistant, also to cut out the assistant
stenographer.
The item of the clerk at 1925 a
month passed, when considered alone.
The next item was attacked by Kalei-
opu and defended by Sheldon. Shin
gle asked Hemenway if he preferred
a second deputy or an assistant, clerk
and an assistant stenographer Hem
enway chose the deputy if messen-
ger were thrown in.
Single wanted to know if a mes
senger boy could not be secured out
of the 81 400 for expenses. Hemen-
way said that 81 400 was a big cut
now and not intended for salaries.
During the last two years $4,000 had
been saved.
Single said that the Governor ask
ed for $3.24S,000, which he thought
could be pruned to $3,0S8,000. Out of
the saving there could be an emer-
gencv fund of $4,000 set aside and
still leave $3.50 for needed public
If the departments
were not cut there would be no money
for needed public improvements.
Kaleiopu withdrew one of his mo-
lions and the discussion kept on.
Finally the item passed.
The stenographer item passed, and
that for assistant stenographer was
killed. .i
The 81 400 expense item passed.
Then it was discovered that the
clerk s salary had been raised on the
understanding there would be no as
sistant The motion to reconsider the
item was lost. however
Sheldon asked the Attorney General
if Cathcart, while County Attorney on
Oahu, had been paid 5000 by the At
tornev General s department for GER
tain work.
eyes, he was paid for -"
Kaleicpu interrupted. What Cath
cart got or did not get was not the
question.
Sheldon insisted on his right to the
floor, but lost out in the shuttle, while
Correa moved to rise and report.
The committee rose.

Who Got the Money?

Sheldon presented the following res
olution, which was referred to the
Public Accounts Committee to investi-
gate. The resolution was:
"'Whereas, 1t is reputed that the
Department of Public Works has dis

Score IL to 6.

The ball game between the Central
City High school and a picked nine
from the Cleaver knights and the
can goods distributors, proved an ex-
citing game; a surprise to the clerks,
who expected easy victory. 1t re-
qu.red eleven innings to decide a
victory for the Clerks. The game vas
replete with sensational stunts and
splendid fielding. the school boys de-
serve much credit for the fine show
ing they made, especial credit is due
Roy Campbell for his superb pitch
ing, also the general good stick work.
The boys managed to hit Geocge Par
sons curves with frequency knocking
him out of the box. Parsons was re-
placed by George Lewis and he held
them down admirably. The grandstan
was well occupied by High school
pupils AMI rooters. The girls display
ed much enthusiasm and loyalty, an
excita5le eagerness fer a victory for
the High school.

RICH TUNGSTEN FOUND IN G|LP|N
Important Discovery Made Near Missouri Lake
by Prospector-W. s. Smith the Lucky
Man-Find Causes Sensation

It Is black,or brownish black In color,
yields red brown powder and is
very heavy, having gravity Of over
seven. It frequently forms crystals
almost metallic in Iustre, which
c'eave easily in one direction, Civ
ing rise to thin flat plates. In some
cases, as for example some of tn.
WoIframite ores of Boulder county
the mineral is almost massive, re-
semblns very fine grained, and is
an Iron manganese tungsten. Wolf
ramite fuses easily and is only par
tally deeomposed by the common
acids.
Some idea Of the probable value Of
this find may be CLEANED from the
fact that over in Boulder county the
mining Of this metal which began
in small way only few years ago
has now reached the stage where
over million dollars worth is being
taken from the ground every year.
The Primos company in the Boulder
country are now erecting a new mill
which will enable them to make a
monthly output Of 60 to rs tons of
concentrates and it is not improbable
that trial shipments will be made to
that mill from this county.
Tungsten is one of the very heavy
metals being nearly as heavy as gold.
1t is very hard and much heavier
than lead, hence has been suggest
ed for use as bullets were it not for
the difficulty Of fusins and forming
il. The melting point has been re-
Gently determined by DR.. c. w. Waid
ner and DR.. G. X. Burgess Of the
Bureau of Standards to be 5000 de-
grees c. Being one Of the most in
fusibie metals known it has been re-
Gently employed in the manufacture
of incandeseent electric lamps. How
ever as an alloy it finds it's most ex-
tensixe use. The discovery of this
valuable metal in Gilpin county has
caused a distinct sensation among
mining men and doubtless will cause
great Interest to taken in the
country around Missouri lake.

improvements at Alps Mine.

The work of tearing down the old
Lewis mill IN Nevada gulch and the
removal Of the timbers TO the Alps
mine was completed this week. A
new building will now be erected at
this property to enclose new boiler
and air compressor which the COM
pany will install as soon as the build
ing Is completed. The production at
this mine Is fast approaching the
phcnomanal stage ore running from
three to four hundred dollars per ton
being shipped regularly. With the
new improvements contemplated the
production can easily be doubled. Jas.
Williams has been the superinten-
dent Of this mine ever since 1t has
been in charge OF the present
lessees and it is largely owing to
his management and foresight that
the property has reached its present
position in the mining world.

prospector was making close exami.
nation Of the country In the vicinity
Of Missouri lake one day last week
his attention was arrested by some
outcroppinss Of brownish black sub
stance which appeared SO unlike any
thing that he had hitherto encounter
ed that he at once determined it to
be some rare mineral totally foreign
to that usually found in this county.
In securing some specimens he OBJ
served that for some distance sur
face indications seemed to point to
a we'll defined vein. Since that time
the specimens gathered by Mr.. Smith
have been carefully tested and as a
result the announcement has been
positively made that vein Of lungs
ten Of unusual strength and richness
has been uncovered in GiIpin county.
Careful and thorough examination Of
the region Of discovery has been
made and the find becomes more and
more important as the Investigation
proceeds. It is now known beyond the
possibility Of a doubt that new tungs-
ten field Of great producing possibi-
Titles has been added to the mineral
wealth Of this county. Experts from
Boulder county hurriedIy summoned
have expressed the belief that that
portion Of the country may be forced
to give way to GiIpin as the premier
tungsten producing county in the
state.
Owing to the beneficient provisions
Of the republican tariff policy as far
as the production Of tungsten Is con-
cerned, this metal at present is in
great demand, the latest quotations
giving it value Of six dol
lars per unit. The discovery is all
the more timely on that account.
Assays show that the lungs
ten at Missouri lake is Of the Wolf
ramite variety.
According to the best mining
authorities WoIframite has been
known since the middle ages to the
tin miners Of cornwelI and Saxony.
