More Bod1e Newspapers.

One good newspaper in town is a
benefit to the place. In the Free Press
Bodie can boast of as good newspaper
as any town of its size on the coast. 1t
is we'll edited, takes the Geographic
dispatches and its advertising columns
bespeak the business prosperity of the
town. Two other newspapers are
about to be started. This will give the
town three poor newspapers where it
now has one good one. The three
papers combined will not be as good as
the Fress Press is now. The APPEAL
reporter is informed by a gentleman
just from Bodie that the business men
have determined to give no encourage
ment to the new papers. They don't
care to be called upon each month to
pay for advertising in three different
newspapers. It cost three times as
much money and brings no correspond
ing income. One good established paper
is quite enough for any town of the size
of Bodie and doubtless the parties about
to start in opposition to the Free Press
will discover this before the next snow
flies. Several papers have already died
in Bodie and it seems strange that
these mortuary lessons are not needed
by men who imagine that they are able
to occupy field already well filled.

Two Orphans Tonight.

Miss Kate ClaxtOn will appear at the
Opera House tonight as 'Louise" in
the 1.-TWO Orphans The Halifax Her
aid thus reports of the company. Be-
sides lady who has gained an almost
worldwide reputation in the principal
part, we have a company Of representa-
tive and responsible people, all of whom
are engaged specially for the different
roles and who play in support of the
star throughout the season. Miss Clax-
ton as Louise is everything which she
is represented to be. Her representation
of the character is earnest and almost
painfully true to nature. The actress is
entirely lost sight of, so entirely does
she sink her identity in the part, and in
all her scenes she is to the audience
simply the blind girl of the story. The
large audience was charmed bp her act
ing, and testified their appreciation
throughout the play by hearty APP
plause.

A BASE RANGE ELOPEMENT.
a Vaquero Runs Away With a PrOminen:
Eurekans Daughter.

The Eureka Leader gives the follow
ing account of an elopement which just
at present is the leading topic Of dis
cussion in the town.
1t has been ii long time since we
have had the romantic and interesting
particulars of genuine elOpement to
to detail to our readers, but such it now
becomes our duty. The interested and
j particular parties to the affair are a
vaquero known as Billy Robinson, and
the eldest daughter of T. J. Coleman,
aged II. AS near as we can arrive at
the facts, Robinson has for some time
past been he riding cattle in the vicinity
of Coleman's ranch, eight miles from
Eureka, on the Elko road, and during
Coleman's house. He apparently had
become enamored of Mr.. Coleman's
eldest daughter, and from all appear
ances his attentions were warmly recip-
rocated on the part of the young lady.
At any rate, the two, without any pre-
paration or word of warning, left the
ranch together last evening, after dark,
and from subsequent accounts, we learn,
walked to the +. & p. r. r. depot,
where they disappeared. Mr.. Coleman
discovered their departure shortly after
the elopement and has been making
strenuous efforts ever since to reclaim
the young lady. He came to Eureka
this morning, and together with the
officers has been making close search
for the couple all day. 1t was ascer-
tanned that the young lady had been
taken to Ruby Hill early this morning
by one of Mikeps stages, and that quiet
little burg has been kept under surveil-
ance and been closely watched all day.
Officer Mccormick says he saw the
young lady on the Hill, but having no
warrant for her arrest, could not take |
her. Mr.. Coleman is very much exas- |
perated over the elopement. He says
that in the first place his daughter is |
DER young to marry, and that in the |
next Robinson is a hard character. He |
says that he is but little known here
abouts, and that he is not sure that his
name is Robinson, as he has sailed
under several different aliases. Several
days ago, it will be remembered, the
Leader gave an account of a cowboy
riding horse into Jesse Mendes saloon,
demanding drink and otherwise dis
turbing the peace. When arrested by
officer Mccormick he managed in some
way to get on his horse and escape. II
is claimed that Robinson is the identi-
,al cowboy, and on this assumption a
has been issued for his arrest,
him with misdemeanor. Up
70 the time of going to press neither
one of the fugitives had been captured.

A rlME-wORN CHINAMAx.
His Countrymen Claim that he has
Reached l6O.

There is aleathery old Chinaman who
walks about the streets of Carson for
whom the age of 100 is claimed by his
countrymen. One who takes q casual
glance at the old skeleton would not fix
his age at less than $50. His joints
creak with every motion of his body,
and seem to need oiling. His old rags
serve the purpose of keeping his body
together rather than for covering. He
ought never to be cold, having hardly
any flesh to feel the Inconvenience
arising from lack of heat. His hair
is composed of few scanty tufts
which are located just behind the ears,
and would be snow white if washed
out. He denies having handled any Of
General Washington's wet nurses on
his knee, which indicates that he has
not as yet been Americanized.

MT. DIABLO.
The Prospect OF a Big Mine.

For several days past there has been a
steady advance in Mt. Diablo, in the
Candelaria District. Yesterday the
stock touched %. The mine is on the
same ledge as Northern Belle, which
has paid dividends for years and has
s2,O00;OOO still in sight. The rise in Mt.
Diablo is accounted for by the fact that
it has for the first time secured crushing
facilities for it's rock and it was rumored
on the street yerterday that the ore in
the mill ran double what was expected Of
it. Most of the stock is held in Europe
and New York and when water reaches
the district Mount Diablo is expected to
pay dividends. y gentleman who had
visited the mine quite recently told an
APPEAL reporter yesterday that he ex-
pected it to 60 to $40 at least and then
pay dividends.

THE VICTORIA HORROR.
A Vessel Loaded Out of All Prouor-
tion to Her Strength.
A Jolly Crowd that Facilitated
the Disaster.

LONDON, ONT., May 2G.--The bodies
still unclaimed are being inclosed in shells
and removed to drill sheds, where they
can be visited by anxious friends in search
Of missing ones.
The story of the disaster as given bv
competent witnesses who were on board,
shows that the i'll fated vessel was on her
last trip, and in setting out from Spring
bank to return to the city she had nearly
all her passengers on her way down, and
IN addition, large number who were
waiting on the wharf to be conveyed
home. The number on board on the re-
turn trip is estimated at 700-a burden
out of all proportion to the strength and
capacity Of the vessel.
Shortly after passing Woodland ceme-
terry the boat began to rock, and the crowd
surged from one side TO the other with
each oscillation Of the vessel, seeming
rather to enjoy the fun than being in any
way alarmed. One passenger states that a
number of youths on the upper deck took
delight in keeping up the rocking motion,
by moving from one side to the other,
while some shouted gleefu.ly:
LET her sink we've only to walk
ashorel"
1t Is said by some, though denied
by others, that the officials in charge en-
deavored to induce the passengers to
remain quiet, but their efforts were un-
availing. The crowd surged from side to
side, and with each movement the vessel
took in an increasing quantity of water
on the lower deck, TO the terror of some
and delight Of many more of those below,
No one seemed to foresee the danger.
Suddenly tho position became alarming.
When nearly opposite Cave bridge. the
water to the depth of foot or more,
rushed in on the south side of the boat,
and the crowd surged again to the north,
the boat slowly following the movement
by lurching over to that side This time
the vessel almost turned on her edge, and
the deck floor became elevated to an
angle not far from perpendicular.
Then, all at once the supports
Of the upper deck gave way with a terri
BILE crash, on account of the unnatural po-
sltion and great weight imposed. Over
the ratings the people tumbled in hun
dreds, headlong into the deep water, and
to make the situation more terrible, the
whole upper decks and supports went
crashing down upon the wretched vic
Tins, tearing and bruising the struggling
mass Of humanity, which thus became en-
quilted in dreadful wstery tomb. The
scene that followed beggsrs description.
Between the wreck and shore could be
seen scores of human beings, who had be-
come liberated from the mass of debris,
and were battling with the elem nts, into
whose cruel grasp they were so suddenly
thrown, and who were slowly but surely
yielding to its power. Many who
were SO stunned by the crash as to be un-
conscious, sank without an effort. The
work Of recovering the bodies was then
begun, and has been continued unremit-
tingly ever since.
