JUDGE BANKS IS LIBERAL He Makes a Gift to Three
 Jurymen. THE PRESENTS ARE USEFUL A Unique Method of Disposng of Youthful Criminals lnaugurated in the Circuit Court
 Yesterday-An Unusual Procedure.

A unique, as well practical method of disposing of youthful criminals was in- augurated by Judge J. J. Banks in the cir cult court yesterday.
 Mitchell Umphery, George Jones and Cor don Woods. three little negroes from to 12 years of age, were before the court on charge of grand larceny. When the cases were called there was no one present to represent them, and Judge Banks ques- toned them as to their parents each re- plying that his father and mother were dead. He next asked them about their homes, to which they replied, ''We aint got none."
 At this juncture the judge eyed the pick aninnies' for a few moments, apparently lost in thought. Suddenly turning to the jury who were seated in the box ready to hear the case he asked if any of the twelve members of that body would like to have a little negro The question was so unusual that at first it was thought the judge was only joking, but his face was serious and earnest, and he waited in silence for a re- ply. Finally three members of the jury arose and made an affirmative reply to the judges question. They promised to provide them with a good home and take good care of their charge, and were each presented with one of the boys.
 The men who were the recipients of these novel presents are: R. B. Nichols, J. B. Robinson and R. B. Jenkins, and are sue cessful farmers.
 The boys were taken back to jail, where they will remain until their ''masters'' are discharged from jury duty, when they will be turned over to them and will be taken to the farms and put to work to earn an honest living.

The Cuyahoga Mining Co., of
Cleveland, Ohio, has purchased
from D. Emerson, Of Mason Val
ley, the Little Bonanza group of
gold mines in Alkali District, in
Smith Valley The purchase price
of the property is $4,000, cash, and
the group consists of three claims
known as the Little Bonanza, Jack
Mcconnell and Morning Star. Con-
siderable work has been done on
this property, as was described in
a recent issue of the TINES, and in
the past month Mr.. D. w. Jones,
one of the company, has made
thorough tests of the ore, and fully
demonstrated that the claims are
rich, and will increase in value as
they are developed. The Company
is composed of F w. Smith. Henry
M. Strong, ID. w. Jones and r. Z.
Everett, and tie two last named
gentlemen, accompanied by Mr..
Emerson, were III town yesterday
on their way to Carson to consul
inmate the deal The Company pro-
poses to develop the property as
rapidly as possible, and the estab-
fishing of permanent mining
camp in Alkali District means
much to the surrounding agrlcul-
tural country, rs it will make
market ior great deal Of farm
produce. There are silurians in all
communities, however, and this
company will no doubt have its
share of them to contend with, but
should success crown the efforts of
the Cuyahogo Co it will be greatly
due to the hustling qualities of f.
G. Everett.

There were III votes thrown out
in the recent recount in Eureka
county, a large number of which
were agreed to be bad under decis
ion of the Supreme Court, The
Eureka Sentinel says of this matter:
"Several of the State papers are
enthusiastic over the assumption
that the rejected ballots will be of
material assistance in offsetting
Sadler's plurality for Governor over
McMillan's and estimate that the
gubernatorial contest will result in
majority for Mcmillan of about
30 votes. In estimating this ma jor-
ity it is assumed that Sadler receiv-
ed about two TO one as against Me-
MILAN. The Sentinel is informed,
however, that while no tally was
kept as to the vote for Governor, the
number of Mcmillan ballots reject
ed was not very far behind the Sad
Ter ballots"

May Lock at Como.

Capt DeLamar, who was on his
way to Mexico to investigate piece
of mining property, stopped over in
Carson last week, and there met
Robt. Logan, one Of the owners of
the Logan and Hully mine, in Como.
About a year ago DeLamar had a
man expert this property and re-
port to him, and he has had the
property in view ever since. 1t is
very likely that when he returns
from Mexico he will take run up
to Como and look at the mine and
the surroundings himself.

Lord d., a proverbial halter of
America and Americans, was dining
in Paris. Next to him at table
sat noted Newport belle. The con-
versation had drifted to discussion
of American topics, and Lord d.
expressed his usual hatred of all
things on this side of the water.
Finally he made the assertion that
he saw no good manners anywhere
in America. This angered the New
port girl, but she replied with APP
parent unconcern: "What poor let

unpleasant talk about Americans
