WORTH a MILLION A YEAH.

There is great excitement in Van
couver, b. c., over reports from South
Kootenay, b. O., where, it is said by
conservative men, there have been %
mines discovered, which will be worth
about a million each yearly to their
owners. They are mostly owned by
Americans. Excitement was increased
by the announcement that silver was
going up and immense silver deposits
Of West Kootenay, running 800 to the
ton on an average, would come into
the market.
On top OF this came the news OF sat
isfactory clean ups OF the Cariboo coun-
try hydraulic mines, and to cap the
climax, word reached the city from
Eburn, B. c.. a few miles from Van
couver, that while John Mcleod was
boring for water in front OF the Metho-
dist church he was surprised to strike
fine fake gold in quantities at 260 feet
from the surface.
After galloping into Westminster, ~
miles distant, to stake his claim, he
returned to prospect and found that
gold ran so cents to the pan and was of
the finest fake quality and worth $21
an ounce. Persons in the vicinity are
feverishly excited. They believe Nc
Leod has struck the bed Of an old
river, and preparations are being made
to honeycomb the earth for miles in
the vicinity.

ded with parties seeking miners licen-

Some patriotic citizen Of Prescott, A.

and descanting on the wonderful riches
of the region, declared that even the
buildings of Prescott we're in part gold.
He was taken up on the assertion, and
a bet resulted. A few days ago an as

in the erection Of some new building,
and the stone showed 81 per ton in
gold and 20 cents per ton in silver. II

Jones ana Mackay Exoneratcd.

The California Supreme Court last
Saturday decided that John w. Mac
kay and Senator John p. Jones did not
defr Id stockholders OF the Consolida.
ted California and Virginia Mining
Company. The suit was brought by
Theodore Fox, who alleged that the
company was operated to defraud the
stockholders by permitting the milling
company, in which Jones and Mackay
we're also interested, to retain the rich
tailings and by paying the milling
company an exhorbitant price for mill
ing. The Court thought the evidence
did not bear out the allegations.

On Friday OF last week Judge Muir
ply denied Theodore Durrant's motion
for a new trial and ordered the prisoner
back TO the county jail. In ten days
he will be taken to San Quentin prison,
there to await sentence. Durrant will
appeal to the Supreme Court.
A large force Of Deputy Sheriffs was
necessary to aid the police in guarding
the entrance to the courtroom. The
crowd was as large as during the trial.
Judge Murphy overruled the motion
for a new trial. He said that he had
twice reviewed all the testimony in the
case and every ruling he had made
during the trial. He had examined
all the afidavits submitted and all the
authorities cited.
He said that if he thought any injus-
tice had been done to the prisoner or
any error made which affected his
rights, he would not hesitate to grant
a new trial whatever the consequences
or whatever the criticism might be.
But the Court was satisfied no error
had been made and that Durrant's
trial had been fair and impartial, and
that no right accorded to him had been
invaded and that the jury's verdict
had been in accordance with the law
and the evidence. Durrant was then
ordered to stand up. The prisoner
rose pale and scowling but as impas-
sive as ever.
The Judge briefly reviewed the crime
Of which Durrant had been proven
guilty and expressed his entire con-
%currence with the verdict. He advised
Durrant to seek repentance and ask
forgiveness from the divine source,
now his only refuge. The Court then
pronounced the sentence. which was
that Durrant be kept in close confine-
ment by the Sheriff in the county Jail
and within ten days be delivered to the
Warden of San Quentin State Prison;
there to be in close confinement until
such day, to be afterwards fixed, when
he should be hanged in San Quentin
until dead.
Durrant heard his sentence without
twitching a muscle, staring at the
Judge defantly. Then he sat down.
made some remark to his father and
smiled. Dickinson, for the defendant,
took a formal exception TO the remarks
Of the Court on the merits of the cause
and said that he would give a formal
notice Of appeal to the Supreme Court.
The courtroom was then cleared.

American Products In England.

The London evening Standard says:
No one dreamt in the time OF our ia
theirs that the day would come when
great steamers could bring wheat across
the Atlantic at a less cost than that at
which farmer could carry it ten miles
to market. Still less that Australia
and New Zealand, La Plata and the
United States and Canada would be
sending cargoes OF beasts and sheep,
frozen beef and mutton into our ports.
Had this been foreseen. free trade
would never have been carried, save
in return for the opening Of foreign
ports to our productions. IL is, how
ever, in the opinion Of many people Of
discernment, more and more evident,
that unless land is to go out Of cultiva-
ton, and our people are to depend for
their food solely upon foreign supplies,
the question will n day have to be
faced and reconsidered.

Georgia's C0nyicts.

The report Gays in conclusion, that
over half of the fund derived from
the hire OF the convicts is paid TO
the penitentisry officials as salaries.
The only duty of these officials is to
see that the convicts are properly
cared for and that the law is en-.
forced. The report also states that
convio.s are leased for less than one
dollar per month. Yet it appears
that the conviots are treated worse
than brutes by the lessees; not
properly clothed, shod or fed. Such
neglect on the part of the peniten-
.tiarT officials is wholly inexcusable,
says Senator B. W. Sanford, chair
man Of the Sanate penitentiary com
mittee. When we take into consid-
Grafton the fact that men wholly
unfit for the position Of ponitentiary
officials are appointed to those re-
sponsible positions without expert
enca or qualification, VS. can readily
see tho cause OF the humilia5ing re.
ports from the legislative com
mittees. The principal keeper is a
disappointed aspiran5 for a judge
ship the assistant keeper is an ex-
sheriff and kind Of 60 as-you-
please fellow; the principal pbysi-
clan is Democratic politician and
q very clever fellow, but man who
knows very little ii anything Of the
tricks Of the Iessees, whipping bosses,
etc. Therefore the lot of the IN
fortunate conviots is 2 sad one.
when Gordon and Northen we're
governor the penitentiary system
was brought into notice aad the les-
sees were made TO treat the poor
convicts with small degree of hui
manity AT least, but for Che past year
the whole convict systom has been
going poll NEIL and there appears to
be no one who is responsible for it.
In the mean time let the people
Of Georgia remember that the old
saystem has to be elaborated and a
better system inaugurated before
this system will be improved.
