HANDCUFF HANKERINGS.
Nate Grey Found Guilty-rhe Ejec-
tor CinChed-A Peace Disturbcr.

The Police Court furnace of justice was
full Of bright red Goals once more this
morning, and the cops kept heaving on
enough fuel during the day to keep the
blaze going.
There were a couple of cases disposed
of after our report closed yesterday after
noon which are worth mentioning.
The first OF these was the case OF Nathan
Grey, who was tried on the charge Of
being the keeper OF gambling house.
After the evidence was all in the case was
argued and given to the jury. About
half an hour was consumed in delibera-
ton, and the jury then returned to the
courtroom with verdict OF guilty. Sen
tence will be pronounced tomorrow.
Ollie Bess, who was found guilty OF
wooing the goddess OF the green cloth,
was fined $40.
The first matter taken up this morning
was the decision OF court in the case OF
assault against Franks. The Judge pro-
nounced tine defendant guilty, but as it
had been shown by the evidence that the
girl began the row and that she had in
a measure provoked the assault, the SEN
tence was made comparatively very
light. The fine was fixed at $40. The
case is somewhat peculiar one. 1t
seems that Franks had become enam-
ored of the complaining witness. She
however was prejudiCed against his long
legs and decided that she would rather
bask in the alligatorial smile of another
young Dutch dude. Franks got mad and
began taking liberties with the girl g,
when she resented and started the row.
Judgment was then rendered by the
Court in the case of A. H. Martin. 1t
will be remembered that some days ago
Martin had occasion to eject one Engler
from the Eureka saloon, but was thought
less enough to do his ogling with club,
and was arrested for battery The Court
sentenced him to pay fine OF $3.50
Next came the case of ii. A. Bailey,
a young fellow claiming to hail from
Gotham, who has been trying to give the
young Mormon boys few lessons in the
art OF townsite printing. Last night
Bailey got on big bender and tried to
pick a fight with an inoffensive young
man. The l. y. m. didn't see the point,
but decided to put an end to the affair by
having Bailey arrested. Bailey was
taken to the City Hall and, after he had
sobered up, he was allowed to go on his
own recognizances. He had not been
free very long, however, when he again
began to indulge in stomach heaters and
in few hours he was once more Keeling
with intoXication. He was coppered by a
cop and put in his appearance at police
headquarters without the assistance OF his
own recognizance. The defendant was
arraigned this morning upon the charge
OF disturbing the peace and, upon being
found guilty, was fined $40. He was then
arraigned upon the triple charge of being
drunk and profane and creating dis.
turhance, and was fined S. ior each
offense.
At this point the court took a recess
until p. m.
At the afternoon session the only case
that came up was the one against Frank
Engler who was charged with creating Il
disturbance, which led to his being
dubbed by Martin. Engler entered a
plea of guilty and was fined $40.

THE WATER TURNED IN.
A Trial of the New works shows
Tint They work Perfectly
I'D to ID street.

For many months past the work OF
LAYING a water main from City Creek
Canyon to the dry bench, by way OF
Prospect Hill, has been going on quietly,
with a rapid progress that has been little
suspected by the less observing citizens.
The head of the mains is at point a
little over q mile above Sudbury's resi-
dence, the site OF the old Touring mills.
The water is carried in large wooden
box from the creek to the settling tanks,
a distance OF about 100 yards. The
tanks are two in number, and
are about 2Ox30 feet in area, and eight or
ten feet deep. They are provided with
all practicable appliances for filtering,
and promise to do the work well. From
this point to the new water works build
ing the water is carried in a six-inch
wooden pipe. After passing through a
tunnelled hill just north Of the building,
the water empties into a four-inch iron
pipe, and is carried in that to a point
near the cemetery. The pipes from the
tanks to the water-works building run
on an incline, and the water is given
sufficient "head" to force it up the grad
ual grade observed in reaching the top
of Prospect Hill.
In laying the pipes, the contour Of the
hills was generally followed, though in
some places gulleys have been filled up
and in others hills have been dug
through, in order to avoid sharp turns.
The water reaches its highest point latter
leaving the tanks) just in front OF the OBJ
servation tower on Prospect Point, and
from there it runs due east, swaying
down in places and raising in others to
suit the level OF the street.
Along the entire length OF Sixth street,
| from the tower to the cemetery, there
are hydrants ut intervals OF every two
blocks, from which the inhabitants will
supply their wants for culinary purposes
only.
This morning the water was turned
into the tanks for the first time, and ii
was not long before it was frothing out
of the different hydrants on the Dry
Bench. The people turned out to wei
come the sight with more enshusiasn
than though it had been circus process
sion, and from now on we may expect "a
north bench smile" to become common
saw.
The scheme works to perfection up tC
the corner oi D street, but beyond tina
point the ter would not run. 1t ii
thought, however, that there is nothing
serious the matter, and there is every
reason to believe that another day o
two will see the water at the eastern ter
minus.
As a whole the work has been well anC
economically done, and the City Council
may be sure that in this work they hav'
had the faith and prayers Especially TIN
prayers) of every thirsty Dry Bench Sain
and sinner.

THE COMsTOCK REVIVAL.
Great Increase i'm the value of Real
Estate-Some of the Lucky Ones.

Commenting on the recent revival in
mining on the Comstock, the Virginia
Chronicle says One salutary effect OF
the recent ore developments is the
marked and rapid increase in the value
set upon improved real estate in this city.
To illustrate this it is only necessary to
cite one instance. County Treasurer
elect Dunlop purchased the brick building
on South street, now occupied by him
as a restaurant and clearinghouse, less
than one year ago for $4,000. Last week
he was offered $4,000 for the property.
Numerous miners who heretofore paid
rent for family dwellings, acquired com
Portable homes for small outlay during
the late depression in the value Of Com
stock improved real estate, which at the
present ruling prices could not be pur-
chased for four times what they paid for
it. Rents have increased proportion
atelv, and it is safe estimate that real
estate in the city has quadrupled in value
during the past six months.
Among the numerous Comstockers re-
puted to have already realized hand
somely from their investments in mining
shares are mentioned Col. f. d. Boyle,
DR.. f. NJ. Conn, Miles Finlen, Thomas
Reynolds, Charles Gregory, Charles Ca
vanaugh, Public Administrator Beck,
Thos. L. Black, Frank Fielding and a
score of others. The aforementioned
residents are still heavy holders OF shares
in leading Comstock mines.
A miner employed in the Con. Cal. q
Va is credited with holding 1000 shares
OF stock in that mine, none of which
stands him over $3.50 per share. When
Intercepted as to why he did not realize,
he replied that he was holding it for 500
a share.
Several men employed in the mine
have quit work through the addition to
their bank accounts by investments in
stock.
Local brokers refuse to take orders for
the purchase of shares in mines outside
OF the Comstock lode, giving as reason
therefor that the demand for Comstocks
is so great that brokers below say they
cannot fill orders for outside shares in less
than a week

BUSINESS AND MINING NOTES.
The London silver Market-FOrcign
GOid-HOme Mining Items.

Brodstreefs, OF November 9th, says:
slight reverse this week. The allotments
of India council bills on Wednesday were
made at small reduction as compared
with last week, and silver had cores
ponding fall in price, the quotation, which
on Tuesday was AZ lie d., declining on
Wednesday to 46 11-16 d. 1t is probable
that there has been more or less OF pres
sure OF trade bills on the market, which
has naturally weakened such a SEN
sitive medium in India exchange.
At the same time it is noted that
the comparatively higher prices for
silver has brought out bullion from the
producing regions in much larger de-
gree than was the case some time ago.
Leading bullion dealers in New York
describe the movement OF bullion from
the Western mines and smelling works
as quite frequent recently. This, of
course, has probably had considerable
effect, and may in some degree be an
swerable for the decline.

the continent, in small quantities.

A correspondent Of the Wood River
Times writes The mining outlook at
Era and vicinity is in every respect en-
couraging. The mill OF the Bannock G..
x S. NJ. Co. is running satisfactorily in
every way, and turning out at least from
800 to 1000 ounces Of fine bullion per
day. Every preparation has been made
to run the mill all winter, and as they
buy custom ores, many prospectors have
gone to work and are taking out ore Of pay
ing grade from dozen or more claims
That Era will be booming camp
within another year, seems now almost
assured. Having been, for several
months, in the employ OF the Bannock
Company, | deem it due to them to cor
rect the impression, which prevails
widely, that they give employment only
to Mormons, or in any way show pref
erence for Mormons over Gentiles. Dur
ing the summer large number OF "our
people" found employment at grading
wood chopping, etc, but, as
winter comes on, the genus "yap," with
a hundred dollars in his pocket, becomes
homesick, and usually hastens back to
the land OF rutabagas and carrots, paws
his tithing, and hibernates among his
kindred until the grass grows again.
Nearly all the employees at present, both
ut the mill and mine, are Genties.

BILE experience with a cyclone, At
Pontiac, Illinois, a storm cloud was
seen gathering, in the west and NOV
ing in a northeasterly direction. As
the train sped on, the storm coming
nearer every mile, the passengers be-
gan to realize that they were being
chased by a cyclone. just as the
engine pulled into Odell, Ills, the
storm struck the town, and the air
was full of debris. In moment sew
en- stores and the hotel were unroofed,
and one large brick building nearly
destroyed. Under the wreck of the
structure two children were buried.
The telegraph wires in that vicinity
are reported down. Specials from
