This ore, which runs around forty

Some of the ore not used in pigment
plants goes to the smelter at Blende,
Colorado.
About sixteen men are regularly
employed in the mine and tunnel, the
latter being over q mile long to where
it undercuts the old North Star

Judges Declare Sullivan, Knowles and Whalen

judged not guilty of malfeasance in

last May, was reversed In caustic
opinion, the court declared that be-
and Judge Straud NJ. Logan failed
TO diffeentiate and separate the
charges of malfeasance in spending
the county money for food and enter
tsinment and for liquor, that It was
impossible to determine which charge
the jury considered, and the case would
have to be tried over again, If the dis
trict attorney thot he could make the
liquor charge stick Spending county
money for cigars, food, candy and
other such entertainment Of the visit
ing county commissioners and road
men is not and cannot be malfeasance
in office, declared the court. The
commissioners admitted this use and
1t went before the jury that convict
ed them. On the other hand, using
county money to buy liquor might be
malfeasance, II proven, but this, the
commissioners denied. They were,
then innocent of one charge OH which
they were convicted. and no matter
how guilty they may have been Of
the other, nevertheless, the case would

on charges Of which they could not be
