GOLD MINING IN NORTHERN
CHINA.

Regarding recent movements of the
Russian pioneers in Manchuria, the
North China Herald of September 10,
says:
''This is an explanation, which we
believe to be the true one. of the mo-
tives which led Russia recently to
threaten TO demand the cession of the
province of Kuldja Recent so-called
scientific expeditions in that portion of
the Chinese empire have revealed that
beginning from the west end of the
Celestial mountains trending south
west to the Altai mountains, dividing
Kashgaria from the Russian frontiers
of Ferghana. the whole plateau or
Steppe is filled with gold. One of these
Russian explorers. called Ma by the
Chinese. was so struck with the capa
bilities of this new FL Dorado that he
started post-haste to Urumtsi and en-
gaging the assistance of the Russian
Consul General there. tried to perSu-
ade the government to grant him
lease of the country. OF course, any
request of a Russian is now regarded
with great suspicion by the Chinese
officials, and the request was refused.
The next step was to get NJ. PavlOH to
take up the cudgels at Pekin and his
threats of a forced occupation of the
country in question during the crisis
when China refused to give up the loan
contra ted with the Hong Kong and
Shanghai Bank for the New Chang
railway extension. compelled the
Tsungli Yamen to yield to the Russian
explorers demand. but with the pro
viso that the company exploiting the
gold mines must he composed one
half of Chinese capitalists and the
other half. of course. of Russians This
was the quid pro quo for which NJ.
Pavloff Withdrew his so-called demand
for the cession of Kuldja. The Rus
slams appear TO have lost no time. for
at present. according TO Il Kashgar tel
eeram. a number of Chinese and Rus
sian officers are engaged in marking
out the boundaries of their cessions,
while mining machinery is being al
ready sent to the spot from Moscow"

MORE BANDITS.
No sooner is one Band Wiped out, than
Another Appears.

Burdeck's Ranch the Last Visited.
Last Thursday a week two men call
ed at the home ranch of E. Burdeck.
on the upper ella. about noon, each
riding one horse and leading one, says
the Demnig Headlight, They were in
vited by the two men at the ranch to
have dinner, and accepted the invita-
ton.
When they had finished. the elder one
of the two asked. 'EWhat is In that
room" At the same time pointing to
door of a room where the commits
sary supplies of the ranch are kept.
On being Informed the younger man
pulled his pistol and ordered the two
ranchmen to take a position in one
corner Of the kitchen. AS they were
unarmed. and thinking no doubt. that
discretion was the better part Of
valor." they proceeded to do So While
the young man held the two men in
the corner. the elder man proceeded to
load the to leod horses with provisions
and supplies of various kinds He
then went into. Mr.. Burdecks room
and broke open box bunk and helped
himself to clothing and articles of var
ious kinds. but in his hurry overlooked
a new Marlin rife that was hidden I'M
der the mattress. They then took the
two men about a quarter of a mile
away from the ranch and bid them
good day.
A few days before thsi it is reported
that two men called at Joe Hampson's
ranch on Eagle Creek. just over the
Arizona line. and getting the drop on
the parties in charge. ordered them to
round up the horses. and after this
had been done they took two of them.

left, after telling the foreman and an
other man at Hampson's who remon-
strated with them, that they had bet

We're also of the opinion that they
would beheaIthier somewhere else and
started 10 leave, but at last accounts
they had fallen in with George Scar
borough, a Wells Fargo e Co. detec-
tive, who resides in Deming. and had
turned back with hime to hunt the two
fellows, who are evidently fixing them
selves in good shape to make a hold-up
at no distant day. Since these two
men left Burdick's ranch to of the best
horses on the place are missing. and il
is thought that they took thehorses al
so.
After glancing at the above men
toned facts it is hard to arrive at any
other conclusion that within a short
time we shall hear of another train
robbery unless Scarborough runs those
two men to earth, and in that case an
account of a funeral is the most prob
able, as Scarborough has before this
demonstrated his nerve and ability to
furnish the requisite for a funeral on
short notice.-Albuquerq Citizen.

AMERICAN HoTSEs IN vENEZJ
Ella.
Contracts Placed Through the Infiu-
ence of the Caracas Sample
Warehouse

BY means of its sample warehouse.
! established few months ago in the
| city of Caracas. Venezuela. the Ma
tional Association of Manufacturers
has been directly instrumental in
bringing to the United States a large
amount of business which otherwise
would have gone elsewhere.
The warehouse contains a large dis
play of samples of American products
of various descriptions. and is. much
visited by the Venezuelan merchants.
who go there to examine American
samples. obtain Information about the
goods. with the result that they place
their orders in this country.
Within the past few weeks the bust
ness resulting from the warehouse has
been plainly manifested by the numer-
Gus orders which have come direct
through the offices of the association
in this city.
One of the most interesting features
of the development of this business has
been the placing of contracts in the
United States for the construction of
three handsome private dwellings,
plans for which are now in the hands
of contra ctors
One of these houses is for General
Ignacio Andrade. president of the
United States of Venezuela; another is
for Senior Alberto Smith, minister of
rI11lic works and the third is for Senior
Ioilo Bello Rodriguez, minister of the
interior
The idea of erecting these American
houses in Venezuela has been regarded
with n great deal of interest in that
country and orders for at least ten
more dwellings of this character will
be placed as soon as these shall have
been erected.
their furnishes, the National Associa-
ton of manufacturers has secured the
placing of a contract for the construc
tion of a government building at the
port of La Guaira for the use of the
customs house inspectors. This bnild-
ing will he constructed of wood. steel
and cement
In addition to this work. which has
all been placed. n contract is pending
for the construction of public market
house in the city of Maracay. Venezu-
Ella. one of the most beautiful cities of
the interior This building will cost
about $4,000. and the contract will
m,oba bly, be placed in this country.
Among the other orders which the
National Association of Manufacturers
has been able to have placed In the
United States. through the agency OF
the Caracas warehouse. are two gas
engines. two one-horse street-sweepers.
about $4,000 worth of wrought and
cast iron pipe three large water
wheels and three dynamos for a
mower transmission plant in Valencia.
Still another important contract has
been brought to the United States

Association of Manufacturers, and this
embraces the reconstruction and cleo
trical equipment of the railroad run
