three friends had gone on a similar errand.
In the afternoon they met and 1t seemed
that general fight would ensue. Thomas,
however, said that only he and Stafford
were concerned, and asked that they be
allowed to fight it out.
This was agreed to, and Thomas and
Stafford, armed with pistols, faced each
other at thirty yards and began firing
Neither was injured by the first exchange
and the men advanced on each other. At
the second shot Thomas fell with a bullet
in his bowels. Stafford still advanced on
the PROSTATE man, firing, when Thomas
staggered to his feet and steadying himself
by tree, took deliberate aim and sent a
bullet through his foes heart. Thomas
died two hours later.
In taking the corpses of the young men
home they were borne past the residence Of

Great excitement prevails at Boulder,
Col, over the new gold fields stu
ated between South Boulder creek and
Magnolia, and there are rumers of
riches being uncovered by prospectors in
holes not over five feet deep. One strike is
alleged to be worth 100000, and an offer
of this amount is said to have been made
and refused.
Frank D. Baker came down from Walkers
ranch and reports that several sacks of
quartz had been sent to the sampling work s
from the claim discovered by the White
brothers. The gold was sticking out all
over the quartz, and no accurate estimate
could be formed Of the value Of the stuff,
but 1t will be sold by the pound instead of
the ton. the paintings made from the Gre
are said to be wonderful, as great rings of
gold form around the pan with each test
of washing.
The prospectors are wild over the out
look for a great mining boom, and about
500 men are working day and night in
search of veins.
The new gold discoveries are on the

KILLED by EARTHQUAKES.
Terrible Loss of Life and Property I
Severe Shocks.

Terrible Loss of Life and Property by
Severe Shocks.
Over LOO people have been killed by
earthquakes in the district of Khalkhal
Persia, and several towns have been prac-
tically wiped out of existence
The first shock was felt on the night OF
January 2. The large village of Janjabad
was destroyed. several others were partial
ly ruined and 300 persons were killed
The second earthquake occurred during
the morning of January and was very
severe. 1t was felt over an area of loo
miles. The town of Khoi was destroyed
and 1000 houses were demolished In
addition, great damage was done in many
villages. The loss of life was very great.
There were 500 persons killed in khoi
alone, and large numbers Of cattle and
sheep also persisted.
Scene of the Disaster.
The scene Of these terrible earth dis
turbances is in the extreme northwestern
part Of Persia, close to the Russian border
The district of Khalkhal is part of the di-
vision Of Persia known as Adarbaijan, the
ancient Atropatene 1t is a land of noun
talns, rawlings, plains and plateaus. Some
of its plains are Very fertile, especially
about the Lake Urumiya, one of the re-
markable geographical features of the coun-
try.
The villages are, as rule, embosomed
in orchards and gardens, which yield de-
licious fruits The most picturesque and
fourishing part of the province is around
the villages of Urumiya and Khoi The
latter, which seems to have felt the brunt
OF the recent earthquakes, is a place Of
about 10000 Inhabitants.
1t lies seventy-seven miles northwest of
IabrlZ and about as fer south of Mount
Ararat, and Is on the great trade route be-
tween Euxine and Persia. 1t had quite an
elaborate system of fortifications, which
were, however, in a ruinous state, and an
inner high wall flanked with towers, the
intervening space being occupied with gar
dens and mud novels.
1t was in the central portion of the city
that Its beauty lay, cool streams and lines
OF willows running along it's broad, regular
streets. There were a few good buildings,
including the governors palace, several
mosques, a large brick bazaar and q fine
caravansary. The chief manufactures were
copper wares and worsted socks. In Sep
tember, 1881, Khoi was visited by series
OF violent earthquakes, the seismic waves
running northwest and southeast, in the
direction of the main mountain ranges
The district about the city consists of an
elevated plateau, sixty miles by ten or fif-
teen, highly cultivated by a skillful system
OF drainage and irrigation, producing q
series of fertile GASES laid out in meadows,
gardens and tillage, and yielding rich crops
OF wheat and barley, besides apples, pears,
cherries, Walnuts, chestnuts and unrivaled
mulberries.
