COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
The Board is Still in S ession bnt
Will Probably Finish this
Evening

The Board of County Commissioners are
still in session and will probably hold
an evening session tonight and adjourn
until the first Monday In February. The
greater part of today was put in in select,
ing $50 trial Jurors to serve for the year
1906. The Board appointed T. j. Brad
shaw Justice of the Peace for Paradise
township. Joseph +. Otis was elected
Constable OF that township and has quail
ifed. The new Board takes hold like
veterans In the service and Humboldt has
undoubtedly got a conscientious Board to
guard the interests of the county. Ex-
County Clerk James Dunn assisted Clerk
Hill today in keeping a correct tally of
the jurymen selected. There was full
Board present and District Attorney
Ducker was on hand to give any advice
that might be wanted. Deputy Sheriff

Wallace Sackett, business manager for
the Marie Wainwright Co., was in Winnie
to see what the chances were of playing
to a paying business in Winnemucca. He
concluded to Jump the town as he
could not see his way clear for expenses.
Wainwright is one of the best actresses
on the American stage and it is great
pity that Mr.. Sackett skipped winnemuc-
ca. A treat would have been in store for
all lovers of tragedy If Mr., Sackett had

SNOW BOUND
Three Freight Trains Stuck
South of EIko
Stuck

Three large freighting teams left Elko
several days ago for Goldfield carrying
with them immense loads of grain and
hay. which are commanding enormous
prices in the camps. But information has
bound sixteen miles out of town in the
great snow belt, which is fifty miles
across. The drivers and teams are suffer
ing keenly from the terrible cold. the
thermometer being from ten to twenty
degrees below zero, and from the strain
of wallowing through the snow. The
men back of the freighting enterprise
are of the opinion that their outfits will
be compelled to turn back unless they
are able to penetrate the snow belt with
in the next few days.

THE OLD LODE
The Comstock May Yet Pay
Dividends

The Virginia Chronicle is quite optim-
istic as regards the future of the old
lode. Commenting on recent work in the
Ophir 1t says:
1T has always been said by mining ex-
perts and geologists, and proven to their
satisfaction that ore bodies could not ex-
ist below the Sutro Tunnel level, 1,700
feet below the surface But it remained
for the indefatigable zeal, perseverance
and superior mining ability of Superin-
tendent McKinty to demonstrate that
they were entirely wrong in their opin-
ions. This weeks report will show the
Ophir winze virtually at the 2100-foot lev
ell developing an ore body OF the assay
value of at least $3.50 per ton. Less than
a year ago the Board of Directors of
Ophir thought it would be necessary to
assess the mine. Since then it has paid
100000 in dividends and no one knows
what the future will bring. the present
development is so far east of any work.
ings that the Comstock has had in the
past 1t is bright omen of the future,
not only for Ophir alone. but for all the
north-end mines from Sierra Nevada
south.

PRISONERS
PLAN BREAK
Elko Jail Came Near Being
Empty on the Clad

What was undoubtedly che of the best
planned attempts at jail breaking that
ever took place in any county jail was
made New Years day in the jail at this
place. says the Elko Free Press. and
were 1t NOT that a little scratching at the
wrong time was overheard by Jailer
Weathers, 1t may be that by this time
not one prisoner would be left In the
county bastile to tell how the job was
done.
About noon Sunday, Deputy Sheriffs
weathers and Welshons went from the
Jail office into the jail yard for little
private conversation, and while standing
near the rear end of the building heard
a slight scratching. They looked in the
direction from whence the sound seemed
to come, when they noticed a bolt pro-
truding several inches and moving very
perceptibly. Mr.. Weathers quietly went
inside, opened the trap door which leads
to the top of the cage and there found
Lester Blackwell, one of the men arrested
for the stealing of James Gutridge's
horses, and James Weston, a Federal
prisoner, digging their way through the
wall. Mr. Weathers commanded the men
to throw up their hands and then took
them down and locked them in their
cells.

had crawled up on top Of the grating
which forms the cage In which the pris-
oners are kept during the day time.
Once on top of the cage all that remained
between them and liberty was a brick
ELL and that was a small obstacle. With
old fire shovel and couple OF knives
they were not long in removing a number
OF bricks. and when discovered all they
had to do was to kick loose a few bricks
in the outside tier and they would have
again enjoyed free air.
The heads of the bolts had been sawed
on with case knife which had been
nicked like a saw blade. They had prob
ably been working on their plans for two
weeks or more. A rather remarkable
fact which seems more than a mere CO.
Incidence. is that one of the prisoners,
Paul Lovelace, few days ago purchased
new overcoat. overshoes, gloves. etc,
and the night before the escape was In
tended Mrs. Lovelace arrived from the
west. The officers consider themselves
most fortunate in catching the men when
they did, which was just in the nick of
time. Hobe Clinton is repairing the Jail
to-day and will reinforce the heretofore
unnoticed weak spot.
