of the twelve months which constitutes

The Outlook I'm virginia.

The outlook in Virginia just at pres
ent is far from promising. Last nights
train carried away many miners who
were out OF work and who determined
TO leave while it was possible to do so.
The situation is daily becoming lore
and more cherries and there is every
prospect that Virginia will join the
ranks Of such towns as Egan Canyon
and Treasure Hill. The meeting held
Wednesday evening may be produc-
tive OF benefit and We sincerely trust
that it may.
Stock holders are relinquishing their
shares rather than pay the assess
ments thereon and these shares are
rapidly becoming worthless paper.
Many mines in Virginia are practically
abandoned and hundreds of men are
out OF work. While the prospect is
not very cheering we are loath to give
up the hope that Nevada will come out
on top and as long as there is a house
standing in the State or an inhabitant
living in our sagebrush land We shall
believe in the future prosperity Of the
+" Silver State" and hope that our
sister city may be Is tiourishing as OF
old.-Carson News.

RUBY mai CoINoN.
she MarrIes Charles %. Tanquary
of sacramento.

There was a wedding in Stockton,
California, on the 18th instant, n oil
the contracting parties Of which was
a Young lady who when a child lived
at Ruby Hill, in this county.
Twenty years ago William Colnon was
doing business at Ruby Hill. He KEEP,
a boarding house, butcher shop and gen.
eral merchandise store, and received
liberal patronage from the miners. A
year or so later a little daughter made
her appearance and frightened his
life and home. lie named the child
Ruby Hill, in honor OF the town oil
its birth. 1t is believed that she was
the first white child born in that
camp.
When Ruby was a year old Mr..
Colnon was taken sick and died.
While lying on his death-bed he said
to his friends who had gathered
around: "I'm about to s~traighten
out accounts-I can't live long. /
know il as well as the doctor. Now,
LII tell you how / want you to do: My
business is in good shape. Close out
things-sell all. Give my body a
plain burial. Don't spend money on
the dead. Save it for the living. An
elaborate funeral over my remains
would benefit no one. Give all you
can from my estate TO my wife and
child. God knows the living need ii
AS for the dead, good. bye."
Mrs. Colnon and her baby daughter
went to California, where the mother
| died two years later. Ruby lived in
Stockton, where she was educated and
brought up among relatives. She
developed into a beautiful and intelli-
gent young lady. Her pleasing ways
made friends Of all with whom she be-
came acquainted.
Last Wednesday she was married to
| Charles o. Tanquary Of Sacramento, a
young miller OF California's capital
city. The wedding took place at the
residence OF her uncle, f. l.. Colnon,
editor and proprietor Of the Stockton
Mail, at whose residence she has re-
sided for many years.
Mr.. and Mrs. Tanquary will make
their home at Sacramento.

A RrenTEoUs AMENDMENT.

A constitutional amendment has
been submitted to the California
Legislature calling for q radical change
in the jury system. II is a move in
the right direction and one which
should be taken in Nevada. The
amendment provides that in trials on
charges oil felony the jury need not be
unanimous, but that three-fourths or
five-sixths OF the jury shall be suffi-
cient to render a verdict. This change
would correspond with the practice in
foreign countries. In Russia and
France a majority Of the jury may
render a verdict; in Germany two
thirds is sufficient. So many criminals
escape their deserts in these times
through disagreements OF juries that
the proposed change is likely to find
favor among the public. The require
ment that a jury Of twelve men must be
unanimous TO give a verdict takes no
account OF the modern art OF jury fix
ing. The corruption OF o single juror
is sufficient to defeat the ends Of jns-
tice, and where there is a reasonable
doubt Of guilt it is scracely likely that
ten jurors could be found willing to
unite in a verdict against the accused
person.
In this State three-fourths Of a jury
in a civil case can render q verdict,
and since the law has been in opera
ton it has worked satisfactory, and
there is no valid reason why the same
proportion should not be adopted in
criminal cases. Many a criminal has
been saved from merited punishment
by a single purchased, obstinate or
dunder-headed juryman standing out
against eleven, honest, intelligent
and conscientious msn.-Reno Ga

Vein of Rich silver.

Every Colorado man of a specula-

may hope to strike something more

"A snake storX.

A fredericksburg, Nd, gentleman
tells how he recently saw a black
snake lunch on a nest OF hornets. The
snake crawled out on the limb Of q
tree, to which q large hornets nest
was attached and struck it several
smart raps with his tail. The hornets
flew out to find their enemy, and as
soon as the nest vas empty, the snake
crawled into it. and presently his head
was seen at the opening. The hornets
finding no enemy to attack. for they
had entirely overlooked the snake, be-
gan returning to the nest, and as fast
they came the snake took them in.
After a while no more hornets appear
ing, the gentleman knocked the nest
down, and found the snake and all the
hornets inside OF it, the snake being
outside OF the hornets.
