BOOTLFCCER HELD.
PARTNER ESCAPES

Indian Agent Francis A. Swayne
came down from McDermitt Thursday,
bringing in Juan Jiminez, charged
with introducing whisky on the reser-
vation.
Yesterday the prisoner was given a
preliminary examination before Unit
ed States Commissioner w. 8. Bonni-
grand jury, in bonds of $500. Failing
grand jury, in bonds of $500. aFiling
to give the bond, Jiminez was taken
to the Washoe county Jail last even
ing by Deputy U. 8. Marshal H. d.
Edwards.
The trouble was the aftermath of
the great Indian pow-wow and dance,
following the return of the bucks to
the reservation from sheep shearing,
and lasted from the 10th to the 21st,
inclusive, Of last month. The In
dians having plenty of money, Jiminez
and prospector named Sam Allen
evidently conceived the idea of max
ing q cleanup, and for that purpose
loaded up with generous supply of
whisky. Jiminez never got as far as
to sell a bottle of the "dope,' but
was taken into custody on q charge of
introducing it on the reservation. His
partner, Sam Allen, however, had bet
ter luck, or perhaps it may turn out
to be worse luck. The officials found
out where he had disposed Of three
bottles to Indians, and he also was
taken into custody.
The Jail at the "fort' being rather
small. Jiminez was taken to Nation
al, while Allen was confined in the
Ia urn "a aont
to the United States marshal for ap-
proval. but there was evidently some
delay in the proceedings. Jiminez was
held at National for 81 days, when he
was set at liberty, for the reason that
the warrant had not returned.
Allen was placed in the little lock
ing 4145 in cash with Agent Swayne
as "an evidence of good faith he
was allowed to walk about the reser'
walton during the day, spending his
nights in Jail, under lock and key. A
few nights ago he took his supper at
the boarding. house, after which he re-
marked that he guessed he would go tc
bed. Nothing was thought of the mat
ter, as it had been the custom to lock
him up along about 8 or 3 O'Clock in
the evening. On this particular night
however. when the agent went to lock
him mp for the night he was gone, and
nothing has been heard of him since
Agent Swayne was accompanied or
the trip to Winnemucca by Scott
Sterling. teacher of the Indian school
The agent states that determined eff
fort will be made to put an end tt
the whisky traffic on the reservation
and any person detected on the reser
walton with whisky or caught selling
il to his wards will be vigorously pros
ecuted.

In the Roll of Honor of National

published by the New York Financier,
the First National Bank of Winnemuc-
ca stands No. 130 on the list, against

The Roll of Honor of the National

prepared by "The New YORK Finan-
ciero from the statements made to

secure place on the Roll of Honor a
bank must show surplus and undivided

tai to be one hundred per cent, the
profits and surplus must exceed that
percentage. In other words, Roll of

there were 1901 banks in operation

TREMENDOUS COST OF
PAVING STREETS OF PARIS

At q meeting OF the luteTndtlondl
A association for Testing Materials held
in New York recently, paper was
read by p. Labordere, engineer OF
bridges and highways in Paris, on the
subject of the wood pavements of the
French capital. M. Labordere says:
"Wood paving was first adopted on
the roads of Paris in 1881, and has
since been steadily spreading. The
area of the roads paved with wood
amounted in 1891 to 900 square
meters. Up to January 1, 1911, it had
increased to about 100000 square
meters, which is approximately "a per
cent of the total surface of the roads
Of Paris. This mode of covering the
roads. which is both noiseless ana
strong, tends more and more to replace
the use of the broken stone pavement,
which is also noiseless, but is subject
to rapid wear. Wood paving is furth-
er being substituted on many streets
for the noisy stone blocks.
"Attempts have been made to re-
duce the cost Of wooden paving by do
ling away with the intermediate agen-
cies so far as is possible. For this
purpose the city buys it's wood direct
| iv from the producers. Yet the annual
expenditure for wooden pavements
still constitutes a very large item
when compared with the cost of other
coverings.
SIN 1910 the expense incurred for
wooden pavements, both for main
tenance and for new installation, ex
ceoded 100000 francs (about $4s0,
O0O), which corresponds to an annual
expenditure of A franc per square
meter against .s3 of a frame for stone
block pavement, 1872 for asphalt and
2.0S for macadamized roads. These
items are even likely to grow at
rapid rate, not only on account of the
increase in the surface of the roads
but also, particularly, for the reason
that the traffic is constantly growing
"The wood pavings last on an av
erage nine years in Paris, but on th'
most frequented roads they have t.
be renewed every FIVE or six years. Th'
rapid wear is heavy burden ON th'
municipal budget, and it has, more
over, another grave feature-fre
auency of renewals and repairs of tn
roads and the interference with trafn'
which this causes.
