That bees nre weather prophets few who

A CounGry Of Bonanzas.

That the northern part Of Elko
county contains rich mines of gold
and silver has long been known t. our
people, but lack of capital and faclli-
ties for working the same has hitherto
prevented the immense wealth Of that
section from being made hno wn to
the outside world. The work in
augurated by the Gold Creek Placer
Mining Company opened the way to
a thorough prospecting of that coun-
try by miners from Colorado, who are
backed up by syndicates controlling
large capital, and an era Of unriyaIled
prosperity is dawning upon that sec.
tion Of the country.

This district produced thousands
of dollars twenty to twenty five years

shifted. After lying idle all these
years very bright miner began a
year or so ago to try to work out the
problem and has in my judgment
solved it and the faults can now be
not onl! traced but accurately meas
ured and it is only question of drift

chutes. Another feature which shows
the country to be very rich is the old
dumps. Nothing under 800 per ton

charged $50 per ton for treatment.

goes off. about April 18th, and look it

ing 100 miles from the railroad, con-

New Orleans, Sept. 1.-THE board
of health of this city Officially state
that but one positive case Of yellow
fever has occurred in this city and
that was imported from Ocean Springs
and died here September 9Th. Since
then many rumors have been investi-
gated and proven groundless. In one
locality on one side of a block a
number of cases of fever were inves-
tlgated by board experts and pro-
nounced suspicious, not as individual
cases but from the fact of the number
of cases in that locality. These cases
were promptly quarantined and all
sanitary precautions instituted. Since
then eight Of those twelve cases have
become convalescent and today all
of them are recovering.
The board of health will issue a
daily bulletin hereafter showing abso-
lutely the condition OF the health of
the city and all suspicious cases.
Every town within $50 miles of New
Orleans has instituted rigid quaran-
tine and the effect on business can be
imagined. Neither freight nor persons
coming from New Orleans or any in
fected points will be admitted to the
quarantine towns. If the present
health conditions of New Orleans con-
tinues, quarantine will be either
raised or greatly modified.
a great many wild stories have been
sent abroad from here but
it IS positively certain that
there is not single case of yellow
fever in the city at present.
From various quarters the ques-
ton has come as to the season of
year in which yellow fever epidemics
of the past started, and IL there was
ever in this city a visitation of fever
which commenced as late as Sep
TENDER. Yellow fever has
never become seriously dangerous or
fatal here unless started in the
months if May, June and July.
DR.. Joseph Jones, for years president
of the board of health of this city and
one Of the highest authorities on
southern fevers in his work, "Contag-
ious and infectious diseases, printed
in 1890, gives the monthly register of
death from yellow fever for each of
the thiry-two years from 1S47 to

Tampa, Fla, Sept. 11.-One of the

hours later. Before dying she at

quently been made that the entire
family would sooner or later meet
tragic deaths. Six years ago her hus-
band was shot and killed in his own
house by unknown parties, but later
his cousin, Tom Swayne, was suspect
ed of the deed, tried and sentenced to
be hung. The night before the execu-
ton Swayne broke jail and remained
at large for some time. A large re-
ward was offered for his capture,
dead or alive, and he was located by
a detective who shot him through
window while he was eating his sup
per, and brought the body to this city
and claimed the reward.

Not a single year is shown where
there is any considerable mortality,
that the disease did not start early.
DR.. Jones, after completing labor
Gus statistics of the temperature and
death rate declares that the origin and
spread of yellow fever depends abso-
lutely upon the elevated temperature
ranging from 20 to So degrees Fab
renheit and its decline depends on a
mean temperature Of 65 to Sc degrees.
The chanies of an epidemic here this
year appears highly improbable. 1t is
too late in the season for processes Of
its propagation.
Ocean Springs, Sept. 11.-Five new
cases of fever are reported by the
health officers. There have been alto
gether 72S cases of fever since the
epidemic started and II deaths all
told. OF these only three were pro-
nounced yellow fever.
Biloxi, Miss, Sept. 1.-Two new
cases have developed, but no deaths
About twenty cases in all are now
here but the patients are doing well.
Scranton, Miss, Sept. 1.-THE sus'
picious cases of fever here have been
by DIR. GUiteras, the ex-
pert of the Marine hospital service,
and pronounced by him not yellow
fever. He has discovered one case of
yellow fever at Pascogoula two miles
from here.
