The presentment made by the Grand Jury
to Recorder Smyth yesterday clearly shows
the need Of an institution modelled on the lines
of the Elmira Reformatory, which shall be
available for female convicts from this city and
Brooklyn. The evils OF the present arrange
ment are manifold and dangerous to society.
To imprison young women, first and usually
trivial offenders, in the Workhouse, where they
mingIe with old and degraded criminals. is far
worse than to let them go unpublished. They
invariably come out hardened and go back to
a worse life than they ever led before. The
Recorder, in his warmly favorable comments
on the Grand Jrys recommendations, men,
tons the pertinent fact that from to SO per
cent of the persons confined in the Elmira Re-
formatory never come back into the criminal
courts. The Woman's Prison Association be-
lieves that under proper conditions an even
larger percentage of female offenders might be
saved. Every effort should be made TO realize
such a result. A Woman's Reformatory under
municipal control is one Of the most urgent
needs of the city.

THE ELECTRIC SYSTEM.

For the past few months the Rae
Electric System for saving quick
silver has been almost at stand
still. 1t is strange thing that
this system has not been introduced
in every quartz and tailings mill in
the State long before this. That it
is a money-making proposion for
mill-owners there is not the least
doubt. Since it has been running
in the Douglass mill at this place
it has made a great saving in quick
silver as well as turning out much
finer bullion. In fact it has been
the means of keeping the mill run
ming. The tailings that have been
worked in this mill of late years
have been very low grade, and
could not have been worked at
profit, with silver at such low fig
ures, unless it had been for the saw
ing of so cents to 81 a ton made
by the Electric System. The par
ties who now control this system ii.
this State. are negotiating, we un-
derstand, to place the system in two
or three mills. It is their PROPOSE
tion to place the electric machines
in the mills free of charge to mill
owners, provided the mill men will
furnish the shafting, pulleys. belt
ing, etc., and give the system affair
trial. If the mill men are not sat
isfiad in a reasonable length of time
that the system is a good thing, it
will be removed. All that the own
ers of the electric plant ask for all
this is q royalty Of ten cents ton
on all rock or tailings worked. This
seems to be very fair proposition.
If the system does what is claimed
for it, it will save every mill in the
State from so cents to 81 ton on
all ores or tailings worked. This is
quite an item to mill that runs
from LOO to 200 tons day, and the
mill company could easily afford to
pay the small royalty of 10 cents
ton to the Electric Company. The
cost to a mill company of putting
in shafting and betting would be but
slight, and we should think that
every mill in the State would jump
at the chance to give this system
trial at least under these circum-
stances. That the system has done
good work and saved money for
every company that has put it in,
in this State, California, Utah and
Montana is a fact. Why not give it
q trial.
