METCALF MAY SECURE NEW
 PRISON AND COURT HOUSE
Proposals are Made to Supervisors That Adequate Court Rooms and Sanitary Jail be Built at Met }. caIf-Present Jail is not
 Sanitary.

Proposals have been made to the county supervisors that a new struc- ture, consisting of court rooms and a jail, be built at Metcalf to replace the present mine-tunnel prison, which is unsanitary, and the present inadequate offices of Judge Burns.
 County Engineer Tunis, upon the the drawing of plans and specified tions for the proposed building, and will submit them to the Board at it's next meeting, which will be on Mon day, March 2. These plans call for a building of two stories, and of the dimensions of 25x33 feet. The lower floor will be of concrete, while the up per will be of cement bricks. On the lower floors will be four cell rooms, a room for the jailor, and a bath room. The upper floor will consist of offices for the justice of the peace, a court room, and a jury room.
 The present jail is only an abandon ed mine tunnel, and is completely without any provisions for sanitation. Prisoners incarcerated there are sub- jected to conditions that are not calculated to meet with the modern knowledge of healthful conditions. The nature of the prison makes i'm possible any remedial change For these reasons, the building of a new jail is thought advisable. The pres ent quarters of Judge Burns are en- tirely inadequate for the comfort and convenience of those necessarily in at tendance at any court matters, the of fee being very restricted in space, and without proper arrangements.

Duncan is Prey of Jury eatherers-

Duncan is Prey of Jury Gatherers- The streets of Duncan were alive this week with restless agents of the county's jury selecting service, every citizen encountered by the gatherers of good men and true being forthwith required to appear at the Greenlee county court house at Clifton in con- nection with the present term of court. Instructions were given to Sheriff Patty to hale a large and suff1- c1ent number of prospects into courr and he accordingly advised his deputy LThos. McCarty, at Duncan, to spare none in quest for material. This advice was followed strictly, the conservative estimate and not of the hotel keepers, being that about fifty of the inhabitants of the upper Gila valley were passengers on the incom- ing Lordsburg train of Tuesday, Feb ruary 24. Of all these summoned, a very few were released from service at the numerous trials of the present session.
