A JURY OF soHooLBovs.

A jury composed of schoolboys
tried criminal case few days
ago in the Bath Circuit Court at
Owingsville.
Ii CHANGED that when this espe-
cial prosecution was called both
sides announced ready for trial,but
no Jurors of the regular panels were
available. Both petit iuries were

Judge Young ordered tho sheriff
to go to the school building and
summon twelve boys. This was
done and the boys, ranging from
10 TO is years years in age, were
impaneled and placed in the reg
ular jury box The case tried
was one wherein the defendant
was charged with violating the To-
cal option law by selling a matted
drink which contained more than
the allowable percentage of alcohol.
The youthful jury heard the evil
dence and retired bringing in a
verdict of guilty after some twen-
ty-fiye minutes, elaboration.

GOOD WORDS FOR NEVADA

The Chicago Mining World of
January 81 contains an annu al
review of the mining industry of
the world. 1t devotes more than
three pages to a review of the
industry in Nevada, giving the
production of 1910 as SAL. 1865, 900
and showing the enormous and
healthy increase in operations
throughout the state. The article
states that from an unprecedented
and unbiased standpoint and from
careful stoudy of the situation, it
appears that Nevada is destined to
be one of the greatest milling
states in the Union And now, as
the search for milling ores is
started and milling ores will be
developed. this search will develop
other great high-grade deposits
and the state will in all probability
boast other such camps as Virginia
City. Tonopah and Goldfeld."

DISAPPOINTED IN LOVE

To travel all the way across the
continent to Godfield, for the
purpose of becoming the wife of
mining man and to have the
prospective bridegroom have her
arrested for obtaining money
under false pretense was the fate
of Miss Grace Holland, fair, plump,
twenty, from Cincinnati, Ohio. The
young lady is still there and is un-
able/to decide whether she will
begin suit against the prospective
bridegroom for damages or not
Miss Holland. through matri-
monial, agency got into CORES
pondence with S. S. Lockett of
Beatty, Esmeralda County, who
claimed that he was mining man.
Finally Miss Holland agreed to
come to Nevada and talk the matri-
monial question over with Lockett
if he would send her ticket and
morey. He sent the money and
ticket and she journeyed to
Rhyolite. and there a man ap-
preached her and asked if she was
Miss Holland. She refused to tell
him when he would not give his
name and decided to travel on to
Goldfeld to wait for Lpckett.' She
did and on her arrival in GolGfield
was arrested on complaint of
Lockett, as he was the man who
had approached her at Rhyolite.

MOST WICKED CITY
IN ALL THE WORLD

George Woodruff, an American
banker who recently went to China
to investigate the railroads there
in connection with a new loan, spent
two weeks in Irkutsk last October,
says the New York World. As he
had letters to the mayer, he had an
excellent opportunity to see life in
that Paris of the wilderness. Mr..
Woodruff is a globe trotter of re-
nown. He is familiar with Paris,
London, Budapest, Vienna, New
York and other. capitals, but he
declares that for genuine wicked
ness that they are outclassed by
Irkutsk.
"Irkutsk is not only the wicked
est but 1t is the fastest city in the
world, said Mr.. Woodruff soon
after his return to New York,
There is more night life in that
little town of 1000 peo-
pie than in all Paris or New York.

there, | saw as much as 100000

TO START WORK ON
CARSON RIVER PROJECT

Within thirty days, fifteen miles
west of Fallon, the preliminary
work will begin in the Carson
reclamation dam. which is expected
to occupy from 200 to 400 men for
period of two years; to cost
from S1,250,0O0 for the dam
proper to 100000 for all the
adjurcts which will enlarge the
Truckee-Carson project from 90,-
600 to 100000 acres, and which,
when completed. will be one of the
biggest pieces of reclamation
engineering in the United States.
The dam will be 1000 feet long,
$50 feet across the top, 600 feet
thick at the base, and 10 feet high.
The surface will be rip-rapped and
at either end will be massive
concrete spillway with sluices to
regulate the reiease of the i'm
pounded waters.
BY means Of the dam it is pro.
posed to back the waters of the
Carson river up for a distance of
twenty miles. and virtually convert
ing 1t into an intermittent lake,
with the deepest part 1I5 feet
deep. The improvement will do
more to develop the agricultural
interests of Nevada than anything
that has been done in the last five
years.-Exchange.
