Go Forward.
lRy the Associated Press. }

London. Feb. S.-The Privy COuEcii
rendered its decision this morning IN
the Greene-Gaynor case, in favor of
the American government.
The council reversed the two judg-
ments of Justice Caron, of QEebec, of
August, 1902, and ordered the respond
ents to pay the costs of .he appeal.
The councils decision causticaIly criti-
cises the action of Justice C;ron in
releasing Greene and GaynOr aud Ca
ron's extraordinary intervention, and
adds:
"Where a prisoner is brought be-
fore a competent tribunal charged
with an eXtraditiOn offence, and is
remanded for the express purpose OF
affcrding the prosecution an Oppur-
tunity of bringing forward evidence
whereby the accusation is to be sup

treats remand warrant as Il nullity
and proceeds to adjudicate the case
as though the whole evidence was
Before him it would paralyze the ad-
ministration Of justice and render it
impossible for proceedings in e>tradi-
ton to be effective
The decision simply reverses Jus
Greene and Gaynor under remand as
before Justice Caron intelvencd.
~, Johl r Gaynor and Benjamin d.
sGreene were indicted in savannah, IA,
December s. 1899. charge1 with en-
bezZlement and defrauding the Jnj-
ted States government, together with
Captain Oberlin NJ. Carter, in the per-
formanca of government contracts for
the Improvement of the Savannah
river and other river and harbor work
in that district, the illicit profits be-
ing estimated at 100000.
Gaynor and Greene were arrested in
New York. They contested extradi-
tior to Georgia, and when the United
States commissioner decided that they
must go to that State and plead tp the
indictments, they fled TO Canada. They
had been ut liberty on $4,000 bail
each and this was fOrfeite /. Efforts
to extradite GaynOr and Greene from
Montreal were progressing fay 2rably
and the eXtradition commission was
sitting in Montreal when Gaynor and
Greene went to Quebec. a question
arose as to whether they could be
brought back and detectives Kidnapped
them and took them to Montreal.
There was a big legal fight over this
action and q. Quebec nudge issued a
writ of habeaS corpus which was
served OH the jailor at Montreal, who
delivered up the prisoners without no.
tification to the e&rradition tribunal
and permitted them to be rushed back
TO Quebec. Efforts to quaSh the writ
CT habeas corpus under which they
had been returned were denied by
Justice Caron. After a long legal con-
'troversy Gaynor and Greene obtained
their liberty within the limits OF the
province of quebec. The United states
government then appealed 10 the Privy
Council of England, the highest court
in that country.

THE GRAPEVINE DISTRICT.

Some very encouraging reports are
coming in from this camp, which was
opened up first by f. M. Binford, and
Judging by the character of the ore
and the fire test assays on it, pay ore
is certain to be found In the range,
which divides Nevada from California,
and is situated some 55 miles south
and east of Goldfield. The discoveries
so far have all been made on the Ne
vada slope of the mountains. AL Vance
returned from prospecting trip to
that place ON Wednesday last, with
options on a number of locations on
wide ledges of gold bearing quartz, and
estimates that some of the paintings
he secured showed value of at least
5000 ton. He is now having num-
Der of samples tested here.
E. NJ Binford has organized the
Grapevine Gold Mining company for
the purpose of developing his holdings,
and will leave the first of the week
with a load of supplies and tools for
his camp.

GOLDFIELD HUMMER.

Some two months back a good strike
was made on the Knickerhocker No. 3,
owned by this company, on a wide
ledge that outerops on the lode. Sufi-
cient work was done TO show that the
shoot was of good length and the pay
streak wide enough to work. Manager
Newman decided that it would not be
advisable to sink on the ore shoot, AS
the quartz was very hard, and more
advantageous place was selected for a
working shaft where the cost of sink
ing would be reduced at least one-half.
Under the supervision of Superintend-
emit Halterman shaft has been put
down go feet, and at this point sta
tion is now being cut and a crosscut
will be driven to the ledge and ore
shoot. The shaft is model one, and
The work of entering the vein will take
only a few days. IF anything like the
values found on the surface are en-
eountered the Knickerbocker No. 3
will take it's place in the list of GEM
me mines of the camp.

$500 "A ton. The Concentrates are Icing
shipped to one of the Goldfield samp
lers. The shaft has reached a depth
of 300 feet, ana it Is the intention TO
continue down to the 800 foot point
before any extensive drifting is done,
