There is less difficulty in plao-

than on prosnsot no matter how
good it may be. In the case of
the mine the ore reserves can be
estimated, with real assurance OF
an average value, for With the aid
of the shafts, tunnels, crosscuts
and drifts, with numerous connec
ting wings to show the extent
and character of the ore, it may be
expected on three or four sides.
This, together with the averages
of the width of vein and metallic
contents can be estimated with ve-
ry satisfactory accuracy. To Sc
cure all this information and ar
rive at the deductions therefrom
requires time and care, being a

occurs, lends very material as

The time Of the court on Fri

in the trial of Wash Hughes. who
shot and killed Rich Jones on

The case was given to the jury
shortly before noon and after
having been out only a short

guilty Hughes was sentenced
by Judge Sykes to be hanged on
Friday, January 9th, 1905. and
Jim Dill, who was convicted of
the murder of young Dancy
Blewett, was sentenced to hang
on the same day. 1t is hardly
probable. however, that either
negro will hang at that time. as
both cases will be carried to the
Supreme Court.
Tom Garner, who killed a negro
named Luella Rice, and who was
convicted of murder, was SEN
fenced to the penitentiary for
life, and Richard Jones, who
burglarized a store on the Bill
lups place several weeks ago,
was sentenced to serve three
years in the penitentiary.
After Judge Sykes had passed
sentence on the above named
prisoners, court adjourned until
nine O'Clock Monday morning, at
which time the civil DOCKET viii
