WILLIAMS GOES
TO THE PEN.

To spend the balance of his nat
ural life in the penitentiary at Can.
on City was the sentence given by
Judge Glass yesterday to Dan Will
ans, of Black Hawk, who last Thurs.
day was found guilty of murder in
the second degree. Williams trial
occupied four days in district court
and was brought to Golden on a
change of venue. The charge was
that Williams had strangled three in.
fants given birth by his daughter.
1t was also charged that Williams
was the father of the Children.
District Attorney Johnson stated
that there were two other similar
cases pending against Williams, and
urged that the sentence be at least
twenty years. After sentence was
pronounced, he stated that the other
complaints would be withdrawn. Will
liams' attorneys asked that the mini
mum sentence Of ten years be i'm
posed. They stated that they could
not take the matter to the supreme
court, as the convicted man was fl
nancially unable.
Before pronouncing sentence Judge
Glass asked Williams If he had any
thing to say. Williams said: Il
raise my hand to God and swear that
am innocent, and that my daughter
lied. l hope the district attorney will
never rest until he has found the
guilty person. 1t is pretty tough to
go to the penitentiary for someone
else"
Judge Glass stated that in his opin-
ion Williams had a fair trial in
every particular, that he had very
able counsel and that his trial follow
ed an indictment by a grand jury.
Judge Glass dalled attention to the
fact that he had been tried by a jury
of strangers to tie defendant, and
that no attempt had been made to
hurry the trial or to excite the pas
sion of the jury, although the very
nature of the crime would have made
it easy for the prosecution to arouse
resentment. The judge stated that
in his opinion the evidence had been
sufficient, and that the question of
credibility of statements was entire
ly with the jury
Judge Glass consulted mortality
table, which shows that the average
time a man of Williams ege, 50
years. has to live is nineteen years
According to the rules of the peni-
tentiary, Williams, by good behavior
and road work may possibly be freed
in ten or twelve years.
Sheriff Dennis started for Canon
City with the prisoner this morning.

Manager Kimball of the Old Town,
thinks he is in fair way to open up
another Bonanza on the 100 level
west on the Old Town, says the ID
aho Springs Gazette. In sinking a
winze below the tunnel, they broke
into six-foot vein that is showing
fine. Eighty tons of mill dirt from
the winZe which is only 80 feet in
depth. ran $1,000 and 10 tons of smell
ting returned s55 per ton. 1t is the
intention of the management to sink
the winze 80 feet and prove up the
vein. while it will only require about
135 feet of drifting from the four lev
els above to get under the new find,
which. if it proves UP. will bring the
Old Town back into one of the bo-
nanza mines of the district. The Old
Town at one time was one of the
heaviest shippers of this section, and
today has the largest body of low
grade ore of any property in tie coun-
try.

ORE OUTPUT
IS INCREASING

very rev people In Gflpin county
are aware of the great increase in
the ore production of the county for
the past month The Observer man
visited the various mills and sampler
the last of June to ascertain if min
ing was on the increase, and was
surprised at the array of figures
shown him by the various mills and
sampler, regarding the number of
tons OF ore treated for the month of
,une.
We first visited the Iron City mill
below Black Hawk, and were most
courteously treated by the foreman,
VIM. Crossley, who was free to fur
nfsh us with such information as was
desired. His book showed that he
had crushed and milled 4,191, ,43S
pounds of ore during the month, max
ing 81 cars of concentrates that
were sold to the smelters.
We next visited the Chamberlain
sampling works where we met the
affable and courteous agent, Mr..
Ralph Chase, who gave us such infor-
nation as was pleasing to the re-
porter's ears and of immense benefit
to the reader, as it shows that Gil
pin county is rapidly forging to the
front and regaining her lost prestige
as the great gold producer OF the
state. His book showed that during
the month he had purchased 1,OSO,-
$40 pounds of concentrates, and L.
391 1895 pounds of smelling ore This
is large increase over previous
months. and Mr. Chase informed us
that the supply OF smelling ore is
steadily increasing.
We then visited the Stroehle con-
centrator where we were cordially re-
ceived by Mr.. Stroehle, who informed
us that he had only completed his
mill about the middle of the month.
and theIefore had only 15 days to the
mo1th's credit, which was 1000 900
pounds, or 800 tons.
W. next called on R. N. Lewis,
manag-r of the Polar Star mill, who
informedfus that he had milled 500
tons of ore during the month.
We also called upon w. S. Smith,
at the Smith mill at Mountain City,
who stated that he had treated 21S
tons during the month that had yield
ed high grade of concentrates. And
lastly we visited the Buell. mill, un-
der the management of Chas. Cox,
who informed us that his mill had
only been in operation since the mid
die of the month, but had treated
GOO tons of ore in the past Is days.
These combined mills and sampler
show that they treated 1O,10O 900
pounds of ore during the month of
June, besides the smelling ore from
the county that was sent direct to
the smelters at Denver. The Sara
toga mill, and the mills located in
the northern part of the county, were
running the entire month, but have
received no returns as yet.
Many OF our large producing mines
in the Russell Gulch district, and
the northern part of the county are
still idle on account of water, and
undoubtedly July's output will be far
in excess of the June output.
The installing OF up to date mach
inery in our mills for the treatment
OF low grade ores, has much to do
with the present activity that is be-
ing manifested in the county and
from present appearance a year of
prosperity is dawning for the min
ing industry.

BROKER CURTIS TELLS HOW HIS AUTO
 KILLED c. B. CLARK

John D. Curtis. prominent New York broker, living in Boston. Mass. whose automobile ran into a car own- ed by Cecil B. Clark of Ldttleton, N. H, in Greenwich on May IT as 1t was standing in the road, resulting in the death of Clark, testified before Cor oner Phelan today, that the accident was caused by either a misjudgment of distance on his part or the clog ging of the gears in his steering gear by a piece of metal. Clark's death was caused by burns and injuries when the Curtis machine struck his. Robert Mitchell, of New York, Curtis companion is still in the Stamford hospital.
 Curtis testified that the lights of C1ark,s machine were burning when he first saw 1t some distance away. As he was passing the machine he heblieves the hub of the front wheel of his machine struck the Clark ma chine. forcing Clark's machine over the track and into the ditch. His own machine overturned throwing Mitchell out. Fire started from the gas lamps. and ClarA's clothing ignit- ed. The burns coupled with injuries sustained when Curtis, car struck his resulted in Clark's death.
