as it would require many hours
by the most expert workman.
In addition, a modern toilet
and shower bath has been con-
structed; and when a comparison
is made between the new jail
and the old excuse, " which has
been in use so long, we are sur
prised that it could have been
permitted. The present board
of county commissioners are to
be congratulated in determin-
ing upon the new jail, as it is a
humane step for those persons
unfortunate enough to be held
in custody.
The Pauly Jail Co. have dem
onstrated themselves to be thor
oughly familiar with modern Jail
building, as evidenced by the
way they deliver the goods.
Inasmuch as many have evil
denced a wish to view the new
county jail, Deputy Walker in
forms us that he will be pleased
to show any and all through the
jail Sunday who might care to
come. This will be the most
favorable opportunity, as after
the prisoners are removed, the
officers will not care to take peo-
pie through and explain the
workings.

Columbus Phoebe
Strikes Good Ore
Body Similar to That Found
In the Prince Mine

Recent work on the Columbus
Phoebe Mining Company's prop
critics near the Half Moon dis
trict has developed a very ex-
tensive vein of good ore. A con-
tract has been let on this prop
erty for the sinking Of a five
hundred foot shaft and it was
during the progress of this work
that the new strike was encount-
cred. w. S. Anderson, local
manager for the company, is
much elated over the discovery.
and states that it places the
company upon a shipping basis.
The ore is similar to that found
in the famous Prince mine, be-
ing of "a black manganese char
acter. The most important
feature Of the strike, however,
is its size. The ledge has been
stripped for at least sixty feet
and holds strong for the entire
distance.
Anderson viii, as soon as prac-
tical, have a gasoline hoist IN
stalled on the property of suffi-
cient horse power to facilitate
the working for a considerable
depth.

and concise account was given
in our last issue by Jas. B.
Wheeler, who is, perhaps, as
familiar as any other one person
with that district.
The ore is carbonate of silver,
of soft character, and CORE
spends with that taken out in
the old properties about Phoebe
on the porphry dyke. 1t is ex-
pected that the Demijohn will
be among the largest producers
of high grade this coming sum-
mer.
Mr.. Bailey stated before leav-
ing for Salt Lake that the COM
pany would thoroughly timber
the present shaft and then con-
tinue it foran additional hundred
feet forthwith.

having been appointed by Cap

he reported for duty, and was
given some preliminary instruc-

Cahlan put them through the

beneath his dignity to break into

still. He had been warned be-

the act OF insubordination was
deemed sufficient to make his
removal imperative. So now

Of penalty was in the proper exercise of
the personal discretion Of it's presiding
Judge CMr. Landis), the brief declares
that this is a discovery which has been
left to the learned counsel for the gov
ernment to make at a very late date in
the history of our Jurisprudence. 1t had
always before been regarded" the brief
proceeds, "as settled that the discretion
committed by law to the judges was a
judicial discretion and not a personal
discretion, and that the exercise of jul
dicial discretion by a trial court was sub
iect TO review for its abuse; and that the
provisions of the eighth amendment to
the constitution %forbidding the imposition
of excessive fines is binding Upon a trial
Judge; and that the imposition of an ex-
cessiye fine in violation of that prohibit
ton is an abuse of discretion which Is
renewable. This view that the trial
Judge exercise "a personal power and
discretion apparently is shared by the
district judge himself, and the record and
judgment of the trial court affords a
striking demonstration OF the wisdom OF
the barons who wrested Magma Charta
from King John and of our ancestors
in embedding its sanctions in the bill Of
rights in our constitution"
In conclusion it Is urged that the grGnt-
ing Of the writ would not be Justified.
