All are Disguised with the rnismauagc-

Body Reduced To Ashes-Mav
or Trout I'm I.vnchburx.

ROANOKE, Va, Sept. 22.-Coroner
Gray and jury, after viewing the BODY
OF the dead negro Smith, rendered a yer
dict that the negro came TO his death at
the hands of persons unknow to them.
After the inquest surging mass of
ayenging men which had by this time as
sembled, pressed a coal cart into service
and the body was thrown into it. 1t
was then hauled TO Mayor Trout's res
idence, on Campbell avenue it seemingly
being the intention of the mob to bury
it in his front yard
AT this critical moment Rev. w. c.
Campbell appeared upon the scene and
told the mob that such procedure would
never do. He spoke kindly to them and
at last dissuaded them from CARRYING out
their plan. The body was then burned
on great heap of wood saturated with
OIL. All that was remaining of Smith at
night were a few ashes and here and there
bone, but the fire was still burning
fercely and those standing around said
that it should burn till there was not
vestige left.
Mayor Trout is at Lynchburg, Va.
His life would be threatened if he returned

The Virginia Chronicle says that a
peddler, named 1. Postowalski, was
recently held up while returning from
an unsuccessful business trip to Day
ton by a solitary highwayman who
presented a pistol at him and de-
manded SIS. The peddler declaring
that he had but four bits, the road
agent pulled another gun to further
intimidate his victim but after going
through Postowalski and finding only
a half dollar, allowed him to proceed
on his way. The bold, bad man was
recognized as Ernest Hertig, known as
the Idaho Detective" He is re-
garded as a crank and always goes
armed with a couple OF six shooters

but during his residence in Virginia
City had committed no previous overt

Neyadn,s boundary Line,

The survey Of the line between
California and Nevada has been COM
menced. A party Of scientists and
surveyors is engaged in the work. OBJ
servations are being taken for longi-
tude in the neighborhood of Lake
Tahoe.
The precise angle Of the imaginary
lines which meet on the lake has to be
determined. A straight line is drawn
from the meridian at the Colorado
river near the Needles to Tahoe. The
other comes from the meridian which
marks the boundary Of Oregon. The
exact angle formed by these lines
must be ascertained before the bound
airy line between the two States can be
defined. California claims a strip Of
Nevada that will take in most of Lake
Tahoe and a slice off the southwest
ern part of the Sagebrush State from
the Sierras to the Arizona line. The
crest of those mountains will have to
be traversed and the observations and
surveys and their ve~rlfication will
probably take two years to complete.

Impetus Given cold Mining.

Says the Sacramento Evening
News: "The fact that the silver
mines all over the country are closing
down, is bringing California gold mines
into greater prominence than ever.
Last month alone the gold mines OF
this State added 100000 to her
wealth.
The Selby smelling works, near
Port Costa, during the month Of July
received 81, $780, 900 in gold coin from
the United States branch mint for de-
posits Of refined gold taken from the
mines during the month. The decline
Of silver has given an impetus to all
branches Of gold mining that assures
US a steady and perhaps wonderful in
crease Of the yellow metal from now
on for many years. The oft-repeated
assertion that quartz mining is but
" in its infancy " looks as though it
IA going to be proven to be literally
true.
The owners Of silver mines in Utah,
Colorado, Montana and Nevada, the
best and most expert miners in the
world, are turning their attention to
the gold-bearing quartz lodes of Cali
%fornia; and, with their experience and
the capital they a command, q new
era of prosperity will dawn upon the
foothill counties OF this State.

a Pointer.

The San Francisco Call recently
published the following: "Colonel
w. j. Sullivan has arrived in this city
from London, and has given the public
the benefit Of his observations in that
city. Colonel Sullivan estimates that
British investors have within the last
four years lost the enormous sum OF
1905, 900 1000. This is almost one
third Of the amount the world is es.
timated TO owe England. These heavy
losses have largely resulted from an
attempt to make creditors pay gold in
satisfaction Of debts incurred on a sill
yer basis. This does not look as though
confidence was very firmly established
through the adoption Of the gold basis.
In fact England stands to lose more
through the process of liquidation than
it can make by demanding payment in
money more valuable than any money
in existence when the debts we're
created"

In commenting on this the Mis-

1.-THE mine owners have been in

Of the smelter demand for silver lead
ores. At the prevailing price Of silver
they can make no money on their in
vestments, but with wages scaled
down and having obtained concessions
from railroads, securing transportation
for their ores at really reasonable
rates, something they have been en-
deavoring for years to obtain, they
find that they can operate their mines,
if without making money, without
losing what they would. il they were
