PRISONERS PREPARED
 FOR PEN|TEhT|ARY
Judge Phillips Hands out Sentences to
 Men Who Pied Guilty.

Judge Phillips of the superior court sentenced the prisoners in the county jail yesterday who appeared before him the day before and pied guilty to the charges on information that had been filed against them and upon which they had been bound over to the super for court from the justice court. The two horse thieves who were captured at Blythe, in Riverside county, CalifOr- nia received the longest sentences, both men drawing two sentences one on each bill These two men were Leo Mckinney and Frank Myers. On one charge they were assessed from one to ten years each, and upon the other they were sentenced from one to fourteen years each, making the total maximum in each case tWentyfour years.
 Following this Joequin Valenzuela, who pied guilty to forgery. in that he signed the name of A. J. Henderson to a check for $65, was given from one to fourteen years, and Walter Hamilton, who pied to a similar charge was given from one to fourteen years. Angel Be nito. who committed an unangelic burglary on August A, was sentenced from one to five years.
 William McLemore a negro, who pied to stealing from Doris Heyman was given a suspended sentence of five years, while Ramon Merino will be sentenced on Thursday. Joe Ellison, whose charge was embezzlement, was given from one to ten years but the sentence was held up pending further of the man by the court officials.
 The grist sack of juctice was emptied for the time being when sentence was imposed upon Jose Rodriguez for grand larceny, and held up. and the embezzle- ment sentence against Joaquin Garcia was continued until a later date There are 75 prisoners in the county jail now and the congestion will be relieved greatly when the present lots of sent enced men are sent to Florence. It is likely that still others will agree to plead guilty before many days which will still further relieve matters in the Casa Y Jeffadams.

M'ALL|STER AND SAILOR
 AGAIN FIGHT ID DRAW
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATcHl

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept Bob McAllister and Sailor Petroskey fought twenty rounds to a draw de- cision here this afternoon. This is l the second time they have fought to a draw decision. Tt is the best fight since Stanley Ketchell and Joe Thomas fought thirA-tWo rounds at Colma," is the verdict of old-time critics.
 In the nineteenth Petroskey landed q heavy right uppercut that sent Me Allister to tht canvas. He rose still groggy, and after fusilade of blows again was sent down for the count of eight. He rose strong and finished
 out the round. Tn the twentieth Me Allister was the aggressor.
 It is generally admitted that McAl- lister showed an improvement, re- tained his speed and cleVerness. and showed surprising coolness and recu- perative power. and whenever he put the punch to Petroskey's body, there was power behind it.
 McAllister must be credited with fourteen of the twenty rounds; on the other hand. Petroskey scored three knockdowns. one in the eight eenth for the count of six, and two in the nineteenth for the count of eight McAllister came back in the twentieth like whirlwind and had Petroskey staggering and dizzy.
 Interest in the fight centered on McAllisters punch. He showed today he had il. Petroskey had only two blows called to land. One was an overland left swing that cut McAllis- ter's lip and the other, after the fourteenth, was a right uppercut.
 At one stage or another both were tired, but Petroskey was consistently the aggressor. In the eighteenth Pet roskey set McAnister on his launches with a right upDercut.

 Warren Brothers presented a license agreement permitting the use of it's bi- tulithic patent in the street paving at the rate of $1.25 per yard The city engineer asked for more time in pre- senting his report on the practicability of carrying water south on Seventh street from the town ditch. The trus- tees of School District No 2 in a letter formally accepted the plans and speci- fications offered by the city engineer for the paving of the north side of Me DOwell road from Third to Twelfth streets. These plans which also called for the paving of the south side of Mo DOWelI road inside the city limits were adopted by the council.

 T am happy to have been connected with the government of the nation at a time when such things could happen and to have worked in association with men who could do them. I have every reason to believe the currency reform will be carried through with equal en- ergy. dtrectness and loyalty to the gen. eral interests. When that is done. this first session of the sixty third congress will have passed into history with ln- rivaled distinction.

INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL
 INMATES TAKEN 10 GRANT
Nearly All inmates Moved to New Site
 at Fort Grant.

Most of the Industrial School inmates have been moved from Benson and sent over to Fort Grant acOrding to infor- nation received here yesterday. There are however, a number who will re- main at Benson so as to continue that as the headquarters of the school until all the formalities of the law have been compiled with the school legally moved to it's new site.
 The boys and girls were hurriedly moved from the Benson quarters of the school following the somewhat lurid account of the escape of twenty one inmates within nineteen days. Special cars were obtained for that purpose and the charges of the state taken to Fort Grant by way of Wilcox and ov- erland to the Fort.
 The inaccessibility Of Fort Grant is counted upon as a means of security against wholesale escapes, or in fact escapes of any kind. It was an easy matter for the inmates to get away from Benson to the railroad and be gone out of reach before the officials were hardly aware of it, but from Fort Grant. situated al the foot of the Gra- ham mountains and removal miles away from the railroad, with a big stretch of desert between the escapes and safety, a story of entirely different features is expected

GOLD IN SEA WATER

For many years a para graph has
 been floating around the world stat
 Ing that sea water contains a de-
 finite proportion of gold. One me-
 tallurgist has taken the trouble to
 trace the statement to it's source,
 with the result that the trail iran
 up a tree" No authoritative state
 ment of the contents of gold per
 ton of ocean" could be discovered.
 But it was enough to start the ex-
 ploitation of the public by the Elec-
 trolytic Salts company. Circulars
 were issued, stating among other
 things, that sea water contained
 gold. The inventor" stated the
 amount of gold to be one grain per ton of sea water. Possibly there is some infinitesimal trace of gold there. Certainly it is not that much but the amount matters very lit tie. Now ton of material couldn't be handled for 4 cents-about the value of grain of gold. But that difficulty could be overcome if we let nature handle the job for us. So in the Bay of Fundy, where tides run high were placed tanks or re- servoirs so that they would fill at high tide and empty at low tide. In the reservoir were plates for the deposition of the gold. In flows the water, down goes the gold. The 1 only work is to scrape off the beau I tiful stuff deposited on the plates, | and there you are
