nor Buchanan, members of the state
board of prison inspectors, and represen-
tatives of the lessees of the convict labor
had a conference at the capitol concern
ing the return of the convicts to the
mines, and decided to send the convicts
back under an armed escort made up of
a military guard and civil guards. An
other conference will be held, at which
final arrangements will be made. 1t is
likely the convicts will leave for the
mines in two or three DAYS.
