PRISONERS OF PARLIAMENT
Offenders May Be Shut Up in Clock
Tower, But Buy Own
Meals.

Few people are aware that the
houses of parliament have their own
prison. Yet situated high up In the
clock tower is the NJ. P.'s prison. con-
sisting of four bedrooms and two sit
ding rooms, London Tit-Bits says.
The honorable member who has been
dishonored by imprisonment for q
breach of parliamentary etiquette does
not have a very hard life In st. Steph-
ems prison. The prisoners meals are
sent up to him from the house Of COM
mons kitchens and he can choose
whatever dishes he likes from the or
binary menu. Unlike an ordinary pris-
oner. he receives the bill for his meals
from the catering authorities!
Perhaps the best remembered occu-
pant Of parliament's prison was Mr..
Bradlaugh. who was sentenced by the
speaker to imprisonment In the clock
tower for refusing to withdraw when
requested so to do.
Offenders against parliament other
than members have before now been
sentenced to imprisonment in the clock
tower. These outsiders" have includ-
ed several public speakers and the edi-
tor Of prominent newspaper.

T. J. Laird, who was in the city yesterday from Groom creek, stated that the reviving of the Midnight Test, by California mining operator named Mir Merrill, is proceeding un- der conditions which would indicate a practical conception of the busi- ness. The unwatcring of the old workings is the initial move, and s. GOO gallons of water were brought up the first day, opening the shaft for ob- servation to a depth of l6O feet About 450 feet are to be unwatcrcd, when development will begin. All machin- cry has been repaired since the new operator assumed charge, and large line of exploration is being mapped out Mining men of that field, con- versant with the showing of the property at its greatest depth, pre- dict a successful undertaking.

NJ. P. Lacey, who arrived from Walker yesterday, is enthusiastic over the showing made in the Bannie mine passing his belief on observations made few days ago. He states that the main shaft has reached depth of over POO feet, and drifting therefrom aggregates over 1000 feet. The vein ranges from IS inches to six feet in width, and gold-copper values run to as high as sos per ton. Mr. Lacey brings samples from the greatest depth where a fine oxide ore is being developed. Indications of sulphide condition being entered are apparent, and it is his opinion big copper will ultimately be proven. The Bannie, he says, is occasioning very much comment from the evidence at the greatest depth.

OCTAVE GETTING READY ID MILL
 BIG TONNAGE
DEVELOPMENT FOR THE PAST 2YEARS REPORTED AS WARRANTING REDUC- TON OF PRODUCT.
(From Sundays Daily.)

According to reports in circulation the Octave Mining Company has de- cided to re-establish its reduction plant, by equipping the mill and cy- anide works with steam power, this adjunct having been removed to an- other locality many years ago under a former management, when the Ari- zona Central Power Company was about to be formed.
 This reduction movement results from two years of development given under the present management, huge tonnage having been determined in the workings of over 200 feet in depth. The new shaft sunk on the Little Joker claim of the group con nected up all old workings. and the product from that zone is said to have established remarkable mineral con- dition, exceeding, in fact, that zone from which the unusually high grade gold ores were mined many years ago. The Joker shaft was sunk in virgin ground when the present company succeeded to ownership over two years ago, and since that time but very little publicity has been given to operations.
