The jury in the Bennett trial desire, through the columns of the Scout, to rutin 11 their thanks to HJn-rifi Hamil ton and the bailiff for their kindness, courtesy and .mention during the trial.

The Sago Hrush says: "Mr. Clint Duffy, of Cornucopia, some weeks since took ten tons of Ked Jacket rock to Denver, Col., and had it worked. Nine tons of this rock went upwards of lOo per ton and the other ton milled $1,200. Clint returned to Cor nucopia after paying all his expenses with f 1 ,(500 clear.
