FLOODS THREATEN HALIFAX.
Much Damage ALREADY Done and Great
Calamity VIM Ensue IF
Reservoir Breaks

HALIFAX, N. s., Oct. 10. There was a
tremendous rainfall in this region yester-
day, last night and early this morning
The storm during the night was very
fierce, the wind blowing violently in
squalls and the rain coming down in q
perfect torrent. None of this mornings s
outgoing trains left on time. The damage
about the city streets is considerable.
The famous public gardens are flooded
and badly injured, and it is said that a
man named Thompson was drowned
there while attempting to open sluice In
one of the ponds to allow the accumula-
ton of water to run into the sewers. A
part of the North Common has been trans
formed into q lake and number of cellars
in the western section have been inun-
dated. In the suburbs some of the resi-
dents had to raft from their houses to
their barns this morning.
The City Engineer says that $4,000
would not place the city in the condition
it was previous to the storm. If the water
in Long Lake rises much higher there will
be fears for the breaking of the water
works dam, and the village of Herring
Cove would be wiped out. The
Herring Cove road bridges have already
been washed away. Measures are now
being taken to prevent the disaster. The
storm inflicted considerable local damage
about Truro, and a number of bridges
were swept away.

OLYMPIC PEAKS ABLAzE
Volcanic Eruptions Witnessed
by Residents of Port
Townsend.
lets of Flame Spout Upward While
Molten Masses Flow Down
the S opes.

PORT TOWNSEND, WASH, Oct. 49,
Several responsible residents here claim
to have seen on Friday night last what
was evidently repetition of the volcanic
eruption in the Olympic Mountains which
startled this vicinity year ago and was
never satisfactorily explained. The
mountains stood out plain and distinct
in clear sky and the phenomenon is
described as a jet of flame flying high into
the heavens at intervals, while down the
mountain side appeared two fiery streaks,
having all the outward appearance, when
inspected through powerful glasses, of
being molten masses.
First reports of the probable volcano
were received with derision. but several
prominent ranchers in outlying precincts
have coTroborated the statements made,
alleging that the flames were seen the
previous evening also.
Last year an exploring party was sent
to investigate the phenomenon, but It was
unable to scale the heights, owing to the
dense smoke and raging torrents resulting
rom the melting snow. The same diff
Guilty will be experienced this year if an
investigation is undertaken, for the noun
tains where the volcano is supposed 10 be
located are covered by thick coating of
perpetual snow and ice. The ascent is
particularly dangerous, and only most
hardy woodsmen would be able to succeed.

SALE OF P|CACHO MINES

Low.Grade Properties on Which
Development Work Has
Hardly Begun.

SAN DIEGO, CAL, Oct. IA deed
was filed for record to-day by which D. K.
Allen transfers to George w. Ireland for
$780, 900 the Golden Dream group of five
mines, the Alcyon group of five mines,
the Orc Blanco group OF five mines, the
Noon Day group of FIVE mines and four
millsites, situated in White Gold Basin,
in the old Picacho district on the Colo
RADIO River, in this county.
Colonel D. K. Allen has been in Picacho
for several years and discovered some of
the richest mines in that section, selling
the principal properties to Stephen W.
Dorsey and associates, of Denver. who
have set large forces OF men at work de-
veloping them and erecting mills.
The veins are noted for their great size.
They are of low grade. but have the ad-
vantage of being near the Colorado River,
where the cost Of working is reduced to a
minimum through the convenience OF
wood and water. Over $500,0OOis already
invested there by Colorado capitalists and
the real development work has hardly
begun.
The mines are believed TO be fully as
promising low-erade properties as. the
famous Golden Cross group at Hedges. in
this county, where 140 stamps are kept
pounding night and day.

Rudolph Schnaubelt the anarchist VINO
threw the Haymarket bomb in Chicago
and for whose apprehension the police
machinery of the world has been in mo-
ton ever since, died here to-day of con-
sumption.
Schnaubelt's death, though caused rri-
marily by consumption, was really due TO
the wound he received in the City of Mex
leo. After the presence of Schnau-
belt had been made known by
a San Francisco newspaper in May,
1895, the anarchist fed to Mexico,
intending to continue and hide himself in
some of the South American countries.
In the City of Mexico he got into street
brawl and was shot. That injury led to
the disease that carried HIM off.

pounds OF American wool was sold in Eng
land early in the fall at an average of 8
cents per pound and these sales
would have continued except for the ad-

OF this wool which is of the merino short
staple type, and buyers complain that the
Boston shippers selected the very worst
type they had to send over. In one lot
there was 7S per cent waste and British
merchants strongly advise American wool
buyers if they hope to keep their place in
