The Prospector's Fate.

Down near tie lakes where Andy
Russell, J. F. CIR SOY, Arthur Buckland
and others were mining several years
ago they built a cabin. 1t was known
about six weeks ago that the cabin was
occupied by a prospector who had put
in II supply of provisions sufficient to
to last him II month or more and he MAS
seer frequently going to the mines from
the cabin. A few days e Hank Rouk
was riding by and going into the cabin
found the mans bedding, provision 8
and etc, looking AS if they mad not been
disturbed for a few weeks other than by
mice. The mans name is not known and
Hank was not tixei TO go mp to tie
mines. 1t is now feared that the pros
pector has met with IL fatal accident or
was bitten by a %rattlcsnake and that his
bones are now bleaching in the sun.
The mines are out of the way OF general
travel and unless some special effort is
made it may be months before the truth
is known.

Senator Jones.

The latest dispatches from Washing
ton say: Senator Jones OF Nevada, the
Populist member OF the Committee on
Finance, has been in consultation all day
with old-time Republican asSo hates who
are members OF the subcommittee en-
gagged in revising the Dingley tariff bill.
The subcommittee was in session ut Il
late hour Saturday night AMI there was
apparently nothing in the way to report
the bill to the full committee yesterday,
the time set. Senator Jones is a Repair
lican still, so far as his tariff views are
concerned, and owing to the peculiar
personnel OF the Finance Com nittee he
holds the key to the situation.

Sisters, distinguished themselves again
last Fri lay night, the occasion being
their fifth annual bail.
As for-seen, Music Hall vas well
C DIVIDED AMI for the hours preceding
midnight there were toe many dancers
on the floor Tor comfort.
The ball room was very prettiiy and
tLstefully decorated and on lines rather
original. The effect was to make the
hall appear roomy in spite OF the NUM-
Der OF people in attendance. The cnlors
OF the Temple were in evidence IN new
designs nicely arranged.
The floor was par excellence and IN
the best condition we have ever seen it.
1t was light and easy and we do not
think there wa a tired dancer in the
ball room at ) o'clock in the morning.
The ladies' used corn starch on the loor
and it will repay anybody who has
charge OF IA ball room floor to heed this
piece OF news. 1t was a happy inspira-
ton.
The music too. by the Reno Orchestra
OF seven pieces, was better than usual
and dances were repeated and repeated
until We thought the musicians would
parish in the attempt to satisfy. 1t was
very complimentary to them however,

The floor was under the direction of
Mrs. Brooks Mechanic who was ably as
sisted by Mrs. Ike Lothrop and Miss
Clara Finley. Mrs. W. G. Hall and
Mrs. j. F. George took excellent care
that everybody danced.
Mrs. W. II. A. Pike, Mrs. Geo Shultz,
Mrs. J. Cook, Miss Winnie Brllam, Miss
Edith Bellam and the other members of
the reception committee performed the
d titles gracefully.
Mrs. J. B. Finley and Mrs, F. W.

through which nobody passed without
C lin or tickets.
There were quite a number OF visitors
in attendance from Churchill and points
along the railroad.
If everybody enjoyed the dance as
heartily as did the reporter, they had a
grand time indeed, and the expressions
after the ball war over were TO that Ell
feet. 1t was a delightful entertainment
to lovers OF dancing and the Sisters have
scored another great social success.
The supper was given by Mrs. J. II.

Jacksonville, Fla, January 1.-The
steamer Commodore, which cleared from
this port for Cienfuegos, Cuba. on Thurs
day with a cargo of arms and ammunition,
founded off New Syria at an early hour
this morning. Two boats were lowered.
One boat was washed ashore empty and the
other landed with twelve men. The Com
mcdore carried two more boats, but these
have not been heard from. The steamer is
reported to have sunk about twenty miles
out at sea. The Commodore struck while
crossing the bar at the mouth Of the river
and had been leaking almost from the
stprt.
Major Ricardo Degado, one OF the crew,
arrived here this evening on the train from
New Syria, accompanied by eleven other
survivors, all of the latter Cubans. Major
Delgado was met at the train by J. A.
Huau, Florida representative Of the Cuban
junta, to whom he told the story of the
wreck.
Delgado reported that he was awakened
about II o'clock midnight Friday night by
the report that the steamer was sinking.
The pumps would not work and the men
set 10 work to bail the steamer out. This
proved Intellectual and the engineer re-
ported that it was impossible to so any
further, as the water had put out the fires
in the engines. The Commodore was then
twenty miles out to sea and was running
toward Mosquito inlet light. The boats
were lowered and Delgado and eleven others
got into one boat and pulled away. The
sea was rough. 1t was $3.50 a. IN. and
everything was dark.
Delgado was of the impression that the
other boats were lowered at the same time.
| but was not certain. He knew nothing
about the sinking of the steamer or whether
any others than those in his boat we're
saved. Stephen Crane, probably the best
known American on board, was with Cap
tain Murphy in one Of the boats They have
not been hoard from.
