The Signal Service.

A petition was circulated and signed
by nearly all OF our citizens last
month asking that the Signal Service
Bureau for this coast be continued
1t seems that rumors are afloat to the
effect that the service is inefficient and
and the forecasts incorrect. These
rumors emanate from persons un-
friendly TO the Bureau, and are with
out foundation. The service has been
improving right aleng under the d.
rec'ion of Il. e. Kerkam, chief OF the
Pacific Coast Division, and the signals
are studied with interest by everybody.
The sentiment OF our people is that
the signal service is a useful institution,
and the hope is generally expressed
that it will continue.

KENNEDY DISTRICT.
An Interesting Letter from a For
rner Hawthorne Miner.

WI. Wilkinsoa, miner we'll known
hersabeuts. writes from Kennedy dis
trict, Humb"ldt couRty, Nevada, TO the
effect that II is sure to be COED camp
in the near future. He saws it is not a
good place for "breke" men To GO to.
The claims now heisg worked are
ewned by poor men whs cannot afford
to pay wages. It is all they can do tn
get supplies tor themselves. 1t is re
ported that j A Blossom OF Battle
Mountain will put up mill ssen, and
in that event there will hs consider
able work dose, MS the ore is plentiful
and Of good grade, and wood and water
are convenient.
Mr.. Wilkinson's letter continues i:
This district is named after Charley
Kennedy, formerly oil Hawthorne. He
owns one mlne-the Imperial on
which We have run tunnel so feet on
the ledge, which averages from Is in
ches to two feet in width, and goes
$50 in gold and $50 in lead and silver.
Another tunnel is run no feet which
will tap the ledge 200 feet under
ground. If this tunnel gets tho ledge,
We will have n big thing sure, as the
ledge Improves in size and richness as
We go down.
There are some good placer diggiHss
here. A Chlnaman is here who wants
To buy or lease all he can get. He has
a force of 100 work ing al Rock Canyon
GO miles south OF here) and he thinks
these placers are as good as those OF
Rock Canyon.
1t is promising camp, but there is
no use of miners ceming here TO work
for wages. When capital comes in it
will be better.

DEATH OF BRUCE MILLER.
In Fit of Depression He Takes

evening. | was the frs, 10 open the
door and saw Bruce lying en- the bed
as he Is now, with bullet hale over
his eye. and the pistol lying on his
left shoulder. When we left him at
noon he WAS perfectly sober but
seemed in depressed spirits. FrSm
his talk no one would suppose that he
contemplated suicide.
Monroe Miller testified: When
Scstty aud | came from work, Scotty
opened the cabin door and exclaimed:

cabin; sat down outside for few
minutes and then went In. | believe
it 10 case Of suicide. Bruce had NO
eneM les around here. He was friendly
with every body. He ate dinner with
US to-day. He was in the mine this
morning, but he did not work, not feel
ing well. He told me that he was dis
gusted with himself, and that he was
going away. told him to cheer up
ard go 10 work, and that we had
chance to make semc money if We
wanted to. Shsrtly afterward he left
the mine and did not $50 him alive
again,
Chinaman Tom, cook at the beard
ing house, said h. heard shot about
4 o'clock. He was chopping wood
about so feet FROM Miller's cabin at
the time. He thought it vas a blast
in the mine and paid no particular al
tention 10 it.
After hearing the testimony the jury
returned a verdict that Bruce Millers
death was caused by "A gunshot wound
inflicted by his own hand at tho Pam
leo NINE on the Sth day of April,
1899. We find that deceased Was aged
30 years, native of Scotland county.
Missouri. and that his full name was
Colonel Bruce Miller.
Bruce Miller was well known in
Hawthorne, and his tragic death was a
shock to the community. He with his
brother Monroe and W. 8. Dickerson
have been working a portion of the
Pamlico mine on lease, and last week
it was reported that they had struck a
body of very rich ore, and it is a
mystery to the friends Of deceased why
he should destroy himself.
He leaves an aged methsr, who is
con- pletely Frustrated by the sad affair,
three brothers, Johnny, Alvey and
Menroe, and two ysung sisters to
mourn his loss.
The remains we're brought to Haw-

funeral took place on Sunday, nearly

New YOrk.

New YORK, Oct. 4.-The National Asso-
clation of Democratic Clubs convened to-
day in the Academy of Music. Long before
the hour set for assembling the delegates

served for delegates. They divided into
sections by States and Territories, with
placsrds affixed to sticks designating the
assigned positions. The room was pro-
fusely decorated with flags, banners and
portraits of Cleveland and Stevenson. The
boxes were filed with fashionable people.
AS the prominent members of the party filed
in, one after another, they were heartily
cheered.
About II o'clock ex-Lieutenant. Governor
Chauncey +. Black of Pennsylvania, presi-
dent Of the association, entered the hall,
followed by ex-Prcsident Grover Cleveland.
Their entrance was the signal for a tumult
of applause. Black called the convention
to order and delivered the opening address.
BE said, in part:
I'VE assemble in this the first quadren-
NAL national convention of the Dem ecratic
clubs under circumstances the most auspi-
cious. Never before within the memory of
this generation has the Democratic party
gone into battle in behalf Of principles at
once SO vital and So clearly defined, and
never before has such a magn fieent organ
ization as this appeared to support them"
The speaker then referred in glowing
terms TO the Democratic standard bearers,
Cleveland and Stevenson, aud predicted
their election,
