J. E. EMMETT BOUND
 OVER TO GRAND JURY

On Thursday last Commissioner Dillon bound J. F. Emmett over to the grand jury on the charge of rob bing the sluice boxes of Julius Gius on Pedro creek. At the same time the commissioner increased the bail of the defendant from thirty-fiye hundred dollars to five thousand dol lars The evidence showed that Gius had caught him practically robbing the boxes. The defendant had a whisk broom with which he was sweeping up the dust in the boxes. When approached by Gius he said that he was looking for quartz
 The accused made a statement in his own behalf in which he claimed to be looking for quartz. and noticed the gold in the boxes. As the boxes were disconnected and the gin pole down he thought that the claim was deserted, and that the gold had been overlooked. Therefore he was taking it.
 In default of bail Emmett was com mtted to the federal jail

MORE RICH ORE
 ON ESTER CRK.

Within month the mill of the Hudson Brothers on Ester creek will be in operation Just below the Hudson Brothers. and in d line with them. is the Ruth claim Four young men, Singleton, Dorfinecr. LivengCnJ and Nelson own the six claims con stituting this property. Ore that as says as high as twenty-two hundred dollars to the ton has been taken out of this claim Some other ore as saved one thousand dollars. The owners say that they are sure that the lowest grade ore that is there will run thirty dollars to the ton The shaft has been sunk to depth of about seventy feet to date. The work was stopped on the prospect temporarily but will he started again in few weeks. The proposition looks like a winner. and as three of the men interested in it are cXpc- rienced hard rock men who served their apprenticeship in the mines of California. it is safe to predict a bright future for the property The property is on the divide between Willow and Moose creeks

MEAT STILL CLIMBING

CHICAGO, Aug. with the prices
III the Chicago stOckyards higher than
at any other time in the history of the
city, the warning of beef barons" that
prices would soar soon after the dis
solution of the beef trust, was brought
home to every American with striking
force. Charles Jones, president OF
The Livestock exchange here, and a
cattle expert, today distributes the
blame, asserting that while graspine
officials of the beef companies are
partly responsible, considerable re-
sponsibility for the soaring prices
rests with the opening of western
breeding and grazing lands to settle
ment The prices of meat here today
are from to Is cents higher than five
months ago and the end is said moi
yet to be in sight. In discussing pre-
Yalling prices today Jones said:
of course scarcity of cattle is
bound to have it's effect on prices. The
situation is extremely serious 1t is
up to congress and state legislatures
to act soon. They must encourage
cattle raising or the meat problem
VIII become the most difficult with
which we have to contend"
The prices are caused, Jones said,
by increasing population resulting
from immigration; the overcrowding
OF cities; the abandonment of cattle
raising in corn growing states, and
the opening of western breeding and
grazing land to settlement.

he must shape his personal utterances

President Taft did not meet the i've
