PRACTICE OF OFFICIALS

finding that in two townships the re-
spective officers are holding the office
for all they can make out of it" Con-
demnation is also expressed for the
''f1oater system. In the fifth township
the jury finds that prisoners are conveyed
to the County Jail by team, when the
service could be as expeditiously per-
formed by rail at less than one-half the
cost In the same township out of 365
cases sentence had been suspended in
POS, or in other words 'hoated' on to the
next town for the next constable and
Justice to enact the same farce over
again.
One hundred and sixty cases were COM
mitted to the County Jail. No fines were
collected in any of these cases. and under
the present law the cost to the county
would be over $200O In the fourth town
ship out of sol cases looked into AIS were
either dismissed or 'floaters" given.
From the remaining eighty-three $142 so
was collected in fines, and the constable
and Justice charges would amount to
over $4,000. The jury believes these prae-
tices are all wrong and that these bills
should be cut down to reasonable
amount

A Lumber Famine.

1t appears to be impossible to
get lumber into Tonopah in quanti-
ties at all equal to the demand
The fault is said to lie with the
Carson & Colorado Ry. which seems
wholly unable to handle the traffic
which this camp has created.
There is now and always has been
a scarcity Of lumber Of every des-
cription, and especially Of large
timbers, which are used in mining
operations. The store keepers claim
that they have ordered such material
but that it is being held at Mound
House until the c. & c. Ry. people
find it convenient to haul it into
Sodaville. At present there is not
stick of lumber that can be had
for love or money. Parties who
are contemplating building and have
accumulated small nucleus which
they hope to be able to add to un-
til they have enough to construct a
house, are refusing fancy prices for
their holdings How long this state
of affairs will continue it is impos-
sible to say.

days to select their ground and the
