Tindall's Grove. Aug. 2S.-The an
nual camp meeting of the Rock Island
Methodist district was concluded to-
day. The meeting has been in session
ten days and has been a soul-inspiring
occasion. The program today includ-
ed the usual prayer and league SER
vices.
Rev. j. A. Edmonson, of Atkinson,
preached at 1880. Rev. EdmOndson
is a fine sermonizer and presents the
word of God with force and conclu-
siveness.
At $50 Rev. j. B. Rutter, of Milan,

Rev. McCulioch, of Rock Island, have,
IAs in former years, been faithful in

Most all the pastors in the district
have been present at the meeting and
preached with unusual power and
fervency.
The attendance of laymen has been
large and a very devout spirit has
pervaded the entire meeting. The
record of another campmeeting is

energy to many a christian life.
Closing Scenes.
Sacrament was observed at 1870,
after which Rev. T. j. Wood, of La

in Luke, 10th chapter and last verse.
He said: This is n narration. Jesus
speaks to US through this verse. The
last scene-the last service of the
campmeetipg. A last scene is the
most solemn and impressive. He
drew the comparison of the rich man
and Lazarus, through life into the
last scene on earth. The sermon was
followed by n stirring exhortation
from Rev. Calhoun, of Cam bridge.
Mrs. j. Z. Stafford has written a
poem entitled Sacred Memories in
which are prettily and wildly de-

The transportation committee OF the
general committee on reception to WASH
ington volunteers at Seattle has reported
that the railroads entering Seattle had
agreed to give a rate of one fare for the
round trip for visitors to Seattle during
the reception of the volunteers and the
accompanying celebration. A halt-fare
rate has been promised for the volunteers,
individually or in companies, for their
home trip from Seattle. 10 addition the
committee has asked the railroads for a
rate Of one cent per mile for the benefit
OF the companies forming the National
Guard, but this matter is still unsettled.
There seems to be little doubt but this
will be secured.
Over 700 members of the Washington
regiment left Manila for San Francisco
September and should arrive at the
latter port about October L. The general
committee Of the Seattle reception used
its greatest energies to have an officer
put aboard the transport who would on
the way home arrange all details for the
mastering out of the regiment as soon as
possible after it reaches San Francisco.
This may and it may not be done. 1t is,
therefore, at present uncertain whether
the reception will be held about October

UNITED STATES WILL PAY.
The Lynched Italians In Louisiana
Were Not American Citizens.

New York, July "a special to the
Herald from Washington says: Italy will
be paid an indemnity for the lynching of
three of the five Italians at Tallulah, La.
and the state department will lay down
the principle once for all that an alien
does not become a full-fiedged citizen of
the United States until naturalization
papers have been formally issued to him.
OF course. the state department Will
pursue the regular legal course for ascer-
tanning all the facts in connection with
the lynching, and there will doubtless be
considerable diplomatic correspondence
between the two countries before the in
cident is closed. But state department Off
Gals appreciate that there is no escape
from the payment of the indemnity No
direct demand has yet been made by
Italy, but there have been board hints
dropped in that direction.
The department rulings on the point
of citizenship have not always been uni
form. Secretary Olney, in his negOtia-
tions with Ambassador Fava in regard to
the Hahnville lynching case originally
took the ground that when an alien had
applied for citizenship he was TO all in
tents and purposes an American citizen,
and that he had no claim for protection
from his native country. He did not in
writing, change this. but the fact that he
although done as a friendly act, is con-
siGered a pretty good indication that his
views had changed.
Approaching that an adherence to the
ruling originally made by Secretary Olney
might come back TO plague the United
States the authorities have determined
to hold that an alien does not become "A
citizen of the United States until natural
ization papers have been formally issued
to him.
1t is pointed out that if aliens who have
declared their intentions of becoming
American citizens return to any foreign
country, the United States could not
properly refuse them a passport and pro-
lection in case they got into any trouble.

CONFIDENCE IN ALASKA.
Believe It Will Again Become a Big
Producer.

Especial Correspondence
Silver City, July 27.-Recent reports
concerning the alleged settlement of
the Alaska controversy have reached
this place, and are more or less accept
ed with belief and much qualification.
The impression prevails here that if f.
z. Jennings, the new manager, can
carry out his usual methods the Alaska
should shortly resume her once envi-
able record as a producer of rich ore.
The Alaska group is comprised of five
claims. the Alaska, North Alaska. East
Alaska, Storm and Storm No. 3, and
lies over the hill from the Tesora, and
only stones throw from the Lady AS
pinwall, another old-time ore shipper.
The Alaska proper was located in 1870
and at that time was known and is re-
membered as the Ruby mine. Though
some cleaning of the shaft and prem-
ses may be necessary, besides lifting
the water and repairing the machinery,
no great expense will be required. The
shaft house is in good condition and
the engine and hoist thought to be am
pie for all requirements. So much in
terest is felt in the Alaska, because so
much confidence is placed on the ca
pacity of the ground.

ACCIDENT AT THE DAISY.
A Cavern Occurs On the 2Oo-foot
Level.

The officers OF the Daisy mine, on
the West Dip. were advised yesterday
of a caye-in on the 200 level a short
distance from the shaft. AS near as
can be ascertained, about sixteen feet
OF the tunnel fell in, and it is thought
all the earth above up to the stratum
OF wash dirt came down
The accident did not stop opera tons
however. The mill is being supplied
with ore from the 200 level, and when
connections were cut off the foreman
directed the men to crop the ore down
the winze to the $50 level. from which
point 1t was hoisted. Meanwhile a force
OF men was pRt to work clearing the
upper level .Hhere the cave occurred
ana at the same time terrifying the
way by the installations of large tim

The committee composed of Arthur

the Daisy company, were busy yester-
day receiving bids for the work of in
creasing the capacity of the Daisy mill

TO GIVE FORTH GOLD AGAIN
FAMOUS MINE IN CALIFORNIA
TO BE REoPENED.
Mariposa Property to Be Worked
After Suspension of Operations
For Thirty-five Years.

San Francisco, July 27.-The famous
Mariposa estate. territorially one of the
largest gold mining properties in the
United States. and the first quartz
property developed in California, is to
be reopened and worked, after sus-
pension of operations for nearly thirty
FIVE wears. The gigantic nature of the
undertaking makes the news OF the
first importance. and promises to have
great influence on the mineral develop
ment of California.
The Mariposa grant, as 1t is often
called. is located in Mariposa county,
and covers an area of 44,3S7 acres, or
about seventy square miles. From about
1858 to 1865 the property was extensive
lv worked, the Princeton, which is one
of a dozen or more mines on the grant,
Welding 1000, 900 down to the 5OO-foot
level According to present plans, one
or two dams will be constructed, and
the tunnels in the Josephine, Pine Tree
and Princeton mines will be extended
on the ore chutes as a starter.
The work will be of great magnitude,
and if expectations be realized, an i'm
mense gold mining exploitation will be
carried on. at no incopsiderable outlay,
furnishing work to large force of men
and necessitating the purchase of ex-
tensive machinery.
