Jarbidge Camp Over Estimated

section. where some very exciting
reports are coming from, the follow
ing press clipping will be Of interest
to them:
According to the statements OF
William Tremewan made IN Ogden
few days ago. the continued reports of
the rich discoveries in the camp OF
Jarbidge must be greatly exaggerated.
He left the camp On December Z as
the heavy fall of snow started and
there was only one prospective mine
in the district. although he says that
the Bourne property, if it continues to
show the surface richness as depth
is attained, will prove to be one OF
the greatest gold mines in the world
He knew the Bourne claim to be rich
in gold, as he had sampled the prop
erty at three different times. obtain.

OF the tunnel as the prospector advan'

which stood thirty feet above the
ground and was about twenty-five
feet wide.
Don't spell it 'Jarbridge.'" said Mr..
Tremawan. "lt is 'Jarbidge,' an In
dian name for devil. and to be sure,
It is a devil Of a country to get over.
The Jarbidge mountains rise to a
| height Of 1900 or more feet and are
| so rugged that a railroad cannot be
built within ten miles Of the camp OF
Jarbidge, unless the road enters from

CARSONITE HAS GOOD
OPINION OF RAWHIDE
Milling Plants Needed Put the Camp on
Paying Basis. Living is Cheap

! Ollie Ward, who has spent the pas
year in Rawhide. is visiting with rel
atlves in this city. Ward has taker
in most of the rush and boom camps
OF Nevada, but Rawhide made a hi,
with him. In speaking of the camp
and its future he says:
"Rawhide is all right. l have been
there through all its boom and de-
cline. The amount of work that has
been done during the past year and
the large bodies Of milling grade ores
that have been uncovered will even
tually put the camp up with the best
production.
There is one great drawback to
the camp and that is the milling ques-
ton. The parties who have the con-
troll of the best ground and the one
mill that is worth anything. has made
so many promises that the people are
beginning to discredit them. I know
from personal investigation that Raw
hide has thousands of tons of milling
ore. The Murray mill is Of small
and cannot handle the output
from the Victor lease. while ,he new
mill in town is practically failure
rs far as capacity is concerned.
Deep mining is being prosecuted !

STATE COURT DECIDES
AGAINST STANDARD OIL
Declares Valid Minnesota Law For
bidding Discrimination of Charges
for Commodities.

ST. PAUL. Mimi, May 20.-The state
supreme court, in an opinion by Justice
O'Brien. today declared valid the state
law forbidding the discrimination OF
charges for commodities sold through
out the state.
The decision came on appeal by the
state from the decision of the Ramsey
county court in sustaining a demurrer
of the Standard Oil Company. This de-
murrer was to the complaint of the state
OF Minnesota. which charged that the
Standard Oil Company made discrmina-
tory prices for it's product in places
where il had no competition.
The state began an action to forfeit
the charter OF the company to do busi-
ness in Minnesota. basing its action on
alleged acts of discrimination.
Judge Bum, in the county district court,
held the law prohi biting discriminat ton
unconstitutional. The supreme court to-
day reversed this finding and upheld the
law.
The case now will be tried on the facts
and an injunction will be asked for

EVADES TRIAL HERE
INDICTMENT IN COTTON LEAK
SCANDAL VITIATED.
Similar Charges Against Price Pend
ing in New York-Peckham,
Haas and Holmes Face Jury.

Theodore III. Price of New York, the
cotton king, escapes prosecution in the
District of Columbia on the Indictment
returned against him in 1908 in connec.
ton with the cotton leak in the Depart.
ment of Agriculture.
Justice Gould in Criminal Court No. ]
today sustained his plea in abatement
to the indictment. in which Price charg-
ed that the presence of government en-
ploye on the grand jury which returned
the indictment vitiated the true bill and
precluded prosecution under it.
Price has similar charges pending
against him in New York. He may have
to stand trial there.
He is the only one of the four men
charged with conspiracy in connection
with the cotton Leak who will not have
to face a jury here. Frederick A. Peck
Edwin $. Holmes. jr., Of this city. al
though relieved by the courts action of
the 1908 indictments. will still have to an
swer the old indictments returned in 1905.
Habeas Corpus Denied.
Holmes was once tried under these in
dictments. but the jury disagreed. Peck
ham and Haas have sought by habeas
corpus proceedings to attack the 1900 in
dictments and to be released from Gus
tody because a New York court on re-
moval proceedings had declared the in
uictmenL charged no offense.
Justice Gould today overruled their
contention and ordered the discharge
of the habeas corpus writ. The two
men will come here next Friday to
give bond under the 1905 indictments.
Supreme Court Ruling.
In sustaining the pleas in abatement
Justice Gould held that he was bound
under the decisions of the United States
Supreme Court, in the Crawford and
Crowley cases, to hold that the grand
jury which returned the Indictment
was illegal, because of the presence
of the government emplOye on the
panel.
While the Crawford decision was on the
question of the competency of a petit
juror Justice Gould held the same rule
APPLIED to a grand juror. and as the
legal grand juror vitiated all proceedings
OF the panel, the indictments would have
to be quashed. This plea of disqualifica-
ton is waived unless raised before ver-
dict.
In disposing of the habeas corpus pro-
ceedings the court held that no asylum Is
afforded a criminal from one judicial dis
trict in another. AS the law has provided
no method for his return when imprOp-
erly taken into demanding district or
abducted, the defendants cannot success
fully MAINTAIN habeas corpus proceedings
He overrued the plea of res adjudicata
because the commissioner and district
judge had decided the indictment set up
no Offense.
Justice Gould stated that the question
of guilt or innocence was not considered
by those officers and must be determined
in the court where the indictment was
returned.

COLD STORAGE
BLAMED FOR TOO MANY FAULTS
IN FOOD, SAYS WITNESS.
Time Declared Least Important Fac
tor as Regards Quality
of Articles.

Defense Of cold storage products was
in order at a hearing before the Senate
committee on manufactures this morning
on the bill regulating the storing of food
In cooled warehouses.
That the cold storage plants are blamed
for a lot of the fault found with food
that existed before the food was put into
storage was the point made by c. III.
Brownell. an egg and poultry dealer at
Washington Court House, Ohio. He was
arguing against any legislation that would
place time limit on the storage of food.
Thine is the least important element
IN good quality of warehouse products,
he to- the committee. The previous
condition OF the food before it is placed
in storage is an important determining
factor"
He pointed out that there are some
eggs that are unfit for eating as soon
as they are laid, while experts cannot
tell the difference between a fresh egg
and good egg that has been in storage
for SIX or seven months.
Problem Declared Difficult.
What we are trying to do" explained
Senator Hepburn, chairman of the COM
mittee, "is to insure the best product for
the public.
That is a difficult problem" remark
ed the witness.
Congress is solving difficult problems
all the time" replied Mr. Hepburn. 1T
is the governmental agency that must
solve them
Other witnesses who appeared before
the committee this morning were J. i.
Nickerson of Chicago. secretary of the
American Refrigeration Association; /;
Victor ri. Becker of Chicago, refrigerator
manufacturer, and w. +. Burrows, vice
president of Libby, Mcneil < Libby of
