own extensive shares In the mining
stock. Work was Immediately begun
on q large scale, the mill, which is oper-
ated by electricity, crushing upwards of
twenty tons per day. The surface Of this
claim to the depth of six feet has all been

ago, during the early gold excitement,
and glitterine particles of the precious
metal can be detected in the gravel
heaps in every direction. In the course

nation about this work, which having
once experienced, one ceases to wonder
that men will leave home and country

of this glittering metal, which too often
proves q veritable will O. the wisp.'
Everything about this mine Is neat and

Is safe to predict that, in the not far

OTHER FAMOUS MINES.
The Champion, the Mayfower and the
Mountaineer are others of the principal
mines located near Nevada City, while
the idaho Maryland and the Quaker
are two Of the largest in the Grass Val

miles above Nevada City, has one Of the
largest hydraulic mines in the world
known as the Malakoff. This mine has

NEW YORK, May Especial CORE
spondence to the Herald from Havana,
under date of April 80, says:
IF General Weyler succeeds in queling
the rebellion in the time he has set-two
years-and he has made very little head
way up to date" said a sugar broker to
me, Cuba will be a mere cinder path
between the Gulf of Mexico and the ocean.
1t will be laid to waste as no country
ever was before.
1T has been said that the work of the
torch must end somewhere, but the
FIRES CONTINUE TO CRACKLE
merrily all over the island and the end
is not yet. An inevitable result of this
form OF campaign has been the leyying
OF blackmail by minor chiefs. A wealthy
man informed me yesterday that he had
been notified by the insurgents in charge
of the district where his property is To-
Gated that it would be spared for the
consideration of $4,000. AS the buildings
cost more than $zo0,0JO, the owner would
gladly pay the 5000 if he knew that he
would receive protection. He fears, how
ever, that if he pays, the rebel officer will
be transferred TO some other Sectlon OF the
island and his successor will Immediately
apply the torch. Something of that kind
recently happened in MatanzaS province
where building was burned after $500
had been paid to protect it,
ANOTHER RESULT
of the war may be the practical extermin-
alton of the Cuban breed OF horses that
are not unlike Texas mustangs in ap-
pearance, small Wiry and very strong.
II orses have always thrived here and
there was an enormous number of them
on the island when the war began. Since
then the slaughter has been enormous.
Spaniards ana insurgents alike kill all
those found in the country that they
could not use themselves, TO prevent them
from falling into the hands of the enemy.
Official reports, notoriousiy works of the
imagination, have described ever since
the first day OF the war innumerabie
in which the Spanish were al
ways victorious and the insurgents were
driven away after hard lighting. usually
with dead and invariably leaving horses,
arms and ammunition on the field.
1t is said in Havana, in sarcasm, that
more insurgents have been killeS than
ever have taken part in the uprising and
that a fair estimate of the horses captured
from them would be four millions"

OMAHA, May 5.-Colonel Robert G..
Ingersoll in Omaha today discussing
politics said: Mckinley will be
nominated at St Louis and have lots
of delegates to spare. The people as
sociate Mckinley with protection and
they associate protection with pros
perity They think that the hard times
were created by fooling with the tariff
and they want good times. They are
tired of Cleveland and Democratic mis-
takes. They want Mckinley and they
will have him. Allison and Reed are
good men-the best kind-and would
make excellent presidents, but they
will have to wait. l see that Manley
and Quay and Clarkson are whistling
through their grave yards, but it is. no
use. Mckinley will beat the field and
have at least a hundred delegates to
spare. He is a good, square man, level
headed, conservative and is well vers-
ed in practical affairs"

SPANISH CRUELTTEs.
Awful Details Confirmed in Every
Particular

Particular.
NEW YORK, May 5-The Herald this
morning says:
Mrs. Emelia Casanova de Villaverde.
sister of Pedro Casanova, the American
citizen whose servants were shot near
San Miguel de CUBA after the Spanish
column had raided the residence, was
seen at her home in this city last night.
She is nearly Frustrated with anxiety for
her brothers safety, and has sent the fol-
lowing telegram to President Cleveland:
My brother, Pedro Casanova and
family, are American citizens. My
nephew, Julio Vidal, is native born
upon, their house sacked, their servants
shot and their lives threatened by Span
ish troops in San Miguel. AS an Ameri-
can citizen L demand protection by the
United States for their lives and prop
erty.'
TO reporter she said: IT read with
horror and Indignation the account of the
last outrage perpetrated by the Spanish
troops in San Miguel. Tonight a letter
came from my sister in Havana which
tells me of all the awful details and con-
firms the report in every particular. My
brother, although born in Cuba, became
an American citizen in 1860, and has made
his home in New York city since. Own
ing large estates at San Miguel, he quite
naturally spent the winter months in
Cuba where he could look after his inter-
estS on the island. He served many years
in the Seventh regiment, Company G. of
the New York National Guard, receiving
an honorable discharge. Being an Ameri-
can citizen in the true sense of the word,
he did not want to take any part in the
present struggle in Cuba, but remained
there later than usual this spring, hoping
to save his property from destruction. He
was known to every one as an American
and was respected as such by the in
surgentS. Word was brought me by an
officer of the Ward line steamer which
has just arrived that General Weyler had
ordered my brother and his family to
leave the island. If this be true, he will
probably leave for New York by the
next steamer

AT O'Clock the convention reassembled

mittees adjourned until tomorrow morn
ing.
80 far there has not been much talk

ton, congressional conventions were
held to elect delegates to st. Louis.
In the First district. Daniel L. Cole of
Sierra and A. B. Lemon of Santa Rosa
were elected delegates to st. Louis. A
resolution was adopted endorsing Nc

hinley sentiment was TOO strong. DR..
Hoefel OF humboldt, and James 7. Laird,
of Shasta, were elected alternates.
The Second district convention adopted
a resolution declaring that the delegates
to the. st: Louis convention be in
structed for Mckinley. Congressman
Grove Johnson of Sacramento and J. ID.

endorsed McLachlan's course in con-
greSS: declared for free silver at q ra-
tio of 16 to l, and instructed the delegates

Mckinley for president as long as there
was reasonable chance for his nomina-
tiofi.

IOWA ALL RIGHT.
No Doubt the State Will Go For Free
Silver.

No Doubt the State VIII TO For free
Silver.
OTTUMWA, Iowa, May 5.-Returns to
the office of Secretary Walsh of the
Democratic state central committee,
show that twenty-three county conven-
tions have been held in Iowa These
counties had a representation of 244 in
the Marshalltown convention last year,
and will have a voting strength of 205
at the coming convention at Dubuque. In
1895 at Marshalltown, 105 votes were cast
for free silver and 1S9 for gold. They
will cast at Dubuque if delegates obey
the instructions of their county conven-
tons. 143 for free silver and So for gold.
AT Marshalltown the same twenty-three
counties gave "a majority against free
coinage. At Dubuque they will cast
silver majority of 5. These counties in
1895 constituted % per cent. of the total
voting strength of the Marshalltown
convention. In 1896 they constitute q
per cent of the total number of delegates
at Dubuque. In the same counties at
Marshalltown 4S per cent of their vote
was cast for silver and 81 per cent. for
gold
At Dubuque they will cast 90 per cent.
for silver and 81 per cent. for gold. This
shows conclusively that the state will
be for free silver, as the counties yet to
hold conventions are the unquestioned
silver counties.

Henry c. Payne was hung in effigy.
Young hoodlums stole the hats of non

About $50 electricians employed by the
