tendency, and is contrary to public pol
icy and good government.
We also ask that the Sheriff adopt
stricter rules for the government of pris-
oners. 1t is impolitic and unwise to al
low those who are imprisoned for the
darkest crimes known to the law to con-
tinually associate with those imprisoned
for minor offens-ss
From what has been said IT must ap-
pear plain to the Commissioners, as well
as to the public, that another Jail or Gala
boose is in dispensible The ground has
been secured, graded and placed IN
proper condition for building, and we
see no good reason why one should not
be erected. 1t is necessary that those
who are arrested for drunkenness, disorder
ly conduct, aud the several minor offenses,
be confined in building, rooms or cells,
separate and apart from those in which
criminals of higher grade are impris-
oned. 1t is also necessary that suita-
bic fence be built around the Jail in the
rear Of the Courthouse, to more atfce-
lively protect the Jail and keep away
those who intrude and converse with the
prisoners in The absence Of the officers.
We further recommend that in the
future the Commissioners contract for
the boarding of prisoners, and also that
all material, merchandise, drugs, etc.,
for the use of the County Jail, Hospital,
or whatsoever be purchased from those
of whom the same can be purchased at
the lowest rates.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON ROADS
We the Committee on Roads would
recommend to the County Commission
ers, if in their power, to have the county
divided up into road districts, and have
n Road Supervisor appointed, rs the
streets in Phoebe, as well as the roads
leading from Phoebe to Dry Valley, Bull
lionvile and Highland are in a very bad
condition, and are not in condition
suitable for loaded or light teams to pass
over. The streets of Phoebe, High street,
McCannon, and in fact, all the principal
streets of the town, are almost impassa-
bic, and should be looked to immedi-
ately, and all the back alleys and streets
are in filthy condition, and the sanitary
condition of the towns requires the i'm
mediate attention of the County Com
missioners to the fact.

slope of the range. The distance to the
mines from this place does not exceed gu
miles, by splendid road. which passes
almost the entire distance through a
country covered with grass and abound
ing in beautiful trout streams. Only two
weeks ago We returned from a hunting
and fishing excursion in the immediate
vicinity of these mines, and were most
favorably imprs ssed with the character
of the country, feeling assured, after Wis
iting some locations that were made be-
tween Tuscarora and the new district,
that intelligent prospecting would de-
velop not only rich but permanent mines,
rs the formation of the entire range is
granite aud porphyry.
Float rock, very rich in gold, was
brought in by the discoverer of the new
district. and gold float has been found all
along the range as far as Tuscarora on
the south, where placer diggings have
been worked during the past tour years,
bat no ledge has yet been found. The
only drawback to this section is the
scarcity of timber, that nearest to the
mines being distant 90 miles, but water
power can be easily obtained. o. Il.
Johnson's tri-weekly mail coaches be-
tween this place and Bull Run take the
new mines in their route, and parties
wishing to visit them can leave here by
the coaches on Mondays, Wednesdays
and Fridays.

GLEANINGS FROM EXCHANGES.

The existence of Chinese tribunal in
this city, which secretly exercised pow
ers similar to those delegated by our laws
to the various Courts, even to the extent
of imposing the death penalty, has long
been suspected, but the veil of secrecy
las been so carefully drawn around its
operations that the outside barbarians p"
have gained little knowledge of its pro-
ceedings. 1t is well understood, how
ever, among the police officers who are
thrown constantly among the Chinese,
that such Il tribunal actually exists, and
that often, when fine or penalty is i'm
posed upon a Chinaman il our Courts,
the matter is fully investigated among
their Judicial officers, and if the punish
ment is deemed just, according to their
peculiar notions of justice, well and good.
If not, they, acting as sort of Supreme
Court, reverse the order of the lower
Court, and instances have been known
where the fine imposed upon a Chinaman
in our Police Court upon the testimony
of a cOuntryman, is ordered refunded to
him by the informant. Innumerable
cases are disposed of before this tribunal
which never reach our Courts. In fact,
the Chinese maintain separate and dis
tinct government in the very heart of this
metropolis San Francisco Chronicle.

composed of excellent citizens-as good
Grand Jury probably as ever assembled
in this State. They had Il large amount
of criminal business to attend to, and as
criminal matters take precedence over all
others, the Grand Jury has not had time
enough to give all county affairs a thor

thing in that line, as the report shows.
We regret that they had not further

a STARTLING ANNOUNCEMENT comes from
the Argentine Republic, which, if true,
bids fair to rival the brightest days of
California, the golden dreams of Austria
LA or the diamond glitter of South AT
RIGA. In the lower valley of Famatina,
situated in Rioja, fertile only in spots
where the soil is subjected to irrigation
by streams, came a thoughtful German.
He had dreamed of gold amid the noun
tains of the Nelasco, and like a hardy
pioneer he wended his way unchecked by
disappointment, until he had reached
the happy valley. Sure of his discovery,
he purchased one league, two leagues,
and shortly thereafter nearly the whole
region. The secret spread like wildfre.
Gold, rich gold, lay in virgin heaps upon
the soil, and Buenos Ayres, for some
years falling into the backward track,
opened Its eyes and saw again prosperity
at her gates. Messengers have sailed for
England, and the enormous sum of $780,
OOO, 200, in currency, has been paid for
the lands. Everybody eagerly awaits
the report of the engineers who have
been sent to investigate.

IN RELATION TO COUNTY AFFAIRS.
We would respectfully report that
special committees were appointed to ex-

fairs and for information We call your at
tenGon to their reports hereto attached
and made part of this report
We further report that on an examine
ton into the proceedings of the Board of
County Commissioners, it is our opinion
that greater degree of caution should
be used by the Board in the allowance of
accounts against the county than has
heretofore been used.
We recommend to the Board that they
appoint and employ an attorney to assist
the District Attorney in prosecuting Grim
inal cases now pending in our Courts
and we further recommend that the Board
III within its power-appoint another or
an additional Justice of the Peace for
Phoebe Township.
We request and instruct the District
Attorney to prosecute the case of the
State of Nevada against John Kane, late
Sheriff, and his bondsmen for moneys
collected and retained by him and which
are due the county.
Owing to the shortness OF the time al
lowed us we find ourselves unable to
make as full an investigation of the
books and accounts of the county officers
as we would wish, and we would earnestly
call your attention to the recommends
ton of the Committee on County Books.
All of which is respectfully submitted.

PIocHE, July 81, 1873.
The special committee to examine
County Hospital, Jail, etc.. beg leave to
report as follows:
We have examined the building and
rooms of the County Hospital, and from
q careful inspection made of the same,
are free in saying that we have no fault
to find with the present management. So
far as appearances go the rooms are kept
neat and clean, as also the beds and bed
ding. The kitchen is rather too small,
and in the opinion of the committee
should be enlarged, yet the same is kept
cleanly and neat and meets with our ap-
proval. The patients were interviewed
as to their treatment, and expressed
themselves satisfied and contented.
The committee resp 4ctfully ask that
in the future this institution be con-
Quoted on more economical basis, and
we further ask, that in order to remedy
this the physician in charge should, when,
in his opinion, an individual has been
cured of his ills, at once discharge him
from the institution.
We further recommend the placing of
fence around the ground belonging to
the Hospital. This could be done at a
trihing expense, and also the ground be
cleaned of all rubbish by the inmates of
the institution.
The jail is too small and too poorly
ventilated. We ask the Commissioners
to at once attend to this matter and see
that the necessary fues and CRATES be
added. This is necessary and should not
be neglected, for if postponed sickness
and disease will surely be the conse-
quence. We further recommend that
another Jail be built, the present one be-
ing too small for the number Of prison.
ers confined therein. 1t is a shame that
the officers of Lincoln county are CON-
PEELED to incarcerate the guiltiest of fell
ons with those who have committed but
