To the HERALD.-Ihe people of Pc

It seems that the shortage was dis

If carried further many will lose and

To appeal the case would bring on q

CONkLIN TIN MINE
Pronounced BY the Former Assist
ant. estate 6eologlst to Be of
Great Value.

Prof. w. F. Cummins, formerly as
s1stant state geOlogist, has been in the
city since Saturday. q guest at the re-
sidence of! his daughter, Mrs. P. F.
Edwards. He left this afternoon for
east Texas.
When here a short time ago Prof.
Cummins visited the Conklin tin mine
near this city at the request of the
owners. Messrs. Morehead, Conklin
and Davis, and made a thorough ex-
animation of the geological formation
in that vicinity. AS result he reach
ed the conclusion that the mineral de-
post will prove not only extensive but
exceeding valuable and it is likely tn at
development work on the claim will be
continued with greater activity than
ever and in a short time q company,
with ample capital, will be organized
to take hold of the mine and work it
for all 1t is worth.
1t is conceded by every one that a
tin deposit of any size will prove q
bonanza, as tin is about the only COM
mercial metal not produced to any
great extent in the United States. AL
though but little exists in this country,
SO far as is known, importers pay
heavy duty on all that is brought here
from abroad and the price to the con-
sumner is away up. The demand for tin
is heavy and any one owning tin mine
in this country would be rich indeed.

EIGHTY-FIRST BIRTHDAY
To Be Celebrated Tomorrow By
Jacob Schultz.


The HERALD takes pleasure in an
nouncing that Jacob Schultz will cele-
brate his S1st birthday the sixteenth
eff this month, in all cheer and good
health and surrounded by his many
relatives, who rejoice with him that
his days are so long in this pleasant
land.
Mr.. Schultz is q brother of Sam
Schultz and his sons are Solomon, AL
bert, and Max Schultz, his daughters
Mrs. Cohen, Mrs. Wolff, Mrs. Harris and
Miss Lena Schultz.
Mr.. Schultz was pleasantly surprised
to read in a Geeman paper published
in New York City, among the notes
of the Fatherland, of his brother-ip-
law being about to celebrate his 9Sth
birthday Joseph Abrshamsohu of
Muenster was man of fifty years or
Whereabouts when he married Sam
Schutz's twenty year old sister. After
some years the wife died and since then
the brothers had lost sight of Mr..
Abrshamsohn until this bit of news of
him CHI anced to come to their know
ledge.
Mr. Schultz says that as the years go
by his memory goes back farther and
farther into his childhood, that names
and words of today slip from his re-
collection while the scenes of his
mothers death bed when he was four
and half years old, aud even earlier
scenes, come back very wildly to his
thoughts. To look back over nearly
four score years is a feat that few &C
complish.
We hope that Mr.. Schultz has many
more years of health, prosperity. and
peace yet to live.

ONLY MISUNDERSTANDING
Caused Shoes To Be Ordered BY One
Man In the Name Of Another.

The shoes ordered from ST. Louis
firm by JuareZ parties, as published in
the HERALD several weeks ago, caused
the shoe manufacturers to investigate
with the result that the mystery is
about cleared up.
1t seems that Mr.. Daguerre told his
nephew, Edgertop, some time ago that
he would go his security for the pur-
chase of small stock of goods. The
young man said nothing more about
the matter but subsequently, ordered
charged to the account of his uncle.
In reference to the transaction and
affidavit Mr.. Dsguerre said:
1.-THE young man Edgerton Is g
nephew of mine and some time, several
months maybe, ago he asked me If l
would go security for him in little
business which he desired to establish.
Wishing to assist him If possible, 1 an
swered Yes, if the parties will accept
me-
"There was nothing said about the
particular line of business, and no par
ticular purchase specified. 1 gave the
matter no particular thought until
some three months afterward when 1
acknowledging receipt of an order from
me, and asking for reference.
''Now in regard to Edgertou's affida-
Wit in Saturdays HERALD, 1 desire to
reiterate that 1 had no knowledge
whatever of this order previous to it
being sent and did not give my consent
that it should be charged to me.

tirely honest in the matter and when
he gave We'll my name as security, 1
suppose he did SO thinking We'll would

TRAIN ROBBER KEETON.
Steps Have Already Been Taken to
Extrddite Him.

Train Robber Keeton is still in jail
at Juarez, but will be jerked out in q
day or two for steps to extradite him
have already been taken and are pro-
crossing favorably.' He will probably
be landed in FL Paso inside of a week.
An Austin dispatch dated the 18th
says:
Gov. Sayers received a telegram to-
day from United States Consul Kin
drick at Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, stat
ing that one of the mem ers of the
gang who held up and attempted to
rob 8 train on the Texas Pacific rail
road in Coleman county, about a year
ago. had been captured in Mexico and
was held at Juarez, awaiting extradi-
the mans name. This is thought to
be a mistake. as Keeton was tried at
the last term of the Coleman county
district court and sentenced to ninety
nine years in the penitentiary. There
were four men concerned in the hold
up. It is believed to be Taylor instead
of Keeton, who is in the jail at Juarez.
In the attempted robbery the fireman
was killed. o.
Gov. Savers also received the follow
ing telegram from Secretary OF State
John Hay:

the whole question, going back to the
time of Columbus. In the course of his
remarks, he said he regarded the treaty
of Munster as a most important mat
ter for the tribunal, as Great Britain
the whole of the Western world in view
of the fact that she was established in
the position of the Dutch. He pre-
sumed American counsel took an en-
tirely different view of the construction
of both the Munster and Utrecht treat
les. and thought the arguments ad-
vanced by American counsel were not
characterized by that breadth which
might be expected from such eminent
gentlemen.
The representative of Great Britain
then took up the terms of the treaty
of arbitration and laid great stress on
the British contention that there is a
contract between Venezuela and Great
Britain and not between the Spaniards
and the Dutch. The tribunal he con-
tended. had to decide the boundary be-
tween Venezuela and British Guiana at
the present time, and not between the
Spaniards and Dutch in 1914
Counsel said that in order to clear up
any misunderstanding he announced
that Great Britain recognized Venezu-
ella as the successor of Spain and he
submitted that the boundary, as 1t
might have been settled in 1914 was
not the same as ought to be defined
to-day.
Respecting the fifty years title
clause, Great Britain submitted that 1t
ought to come back from the date of
the conclusion of the treaty of arbi-
tration. Counsel was adverse to hold
ing that fifty years ought to constitute
a title whatever might be the para
mount title of the other power as this
would cut both ways. Where such
case was proved the matter could be
settled in one of three ways-by de-
fiecting the boundary line with terri
torial compensation elsewhere, without
territorial equivalent or by the pay
ment of compensation. adding that the
tribunal has absolute discretion in the
matter.
Sir Richard Webster spoke in a clear
voice and the arbitrators and counsel
followed his speech closely, making
notes and occasionally asking him to
clear up a doubtful point.

HEAD-ON COLLISION
OF FREIGHT TRAINS
Engines Smashed Beyond Repair and
Fireman Merrill Seriously
Injured

WINNEMUCCA. New, June 15-
About o'clock this evening a freight
train, No. 203. eastbound, and freight
train No. 206, westbound, came together
about a mile this side of Iron Point,
about twenty-four miles east Of here,
IN head-on collision. The engines
were smashed beyond repair and fifteen
freight cars piled up in general discr-
der. The smash-up was complete and
the wreck one of the most disastrous
that has occurred here in months.
Fireman Merrill of No. 206 was seri-
ously and, it is thought fatally in
jured
Wrecking trains have been ordered
from Wadsworth and a point east of
the wreck One of the narrowest of
the several escapes reported was that
OF the failure to explode of the two
cars Of giant powder which were in
the westbound train. These cars were
we'll back in the train and were not
injured. Ead they been further for
ward the disaster would have been ap-
palling for nothing could have pre-
vented a terrible explosion The cause
of the wreck is said 10 be the over
looking of orders by one Of the train
men.
