WAS IT SUICIDE?
About Jack Porfer'S
 Death.

After publishing :he account of Jack POrter's death which appeared in the Jerome Mining News, the William; News has the following, in which it is claimed that Porter may have died f, o n the effects of an cid wound:
 Late reports appear to indicate that possibly Porter did not die from poi soning. All sheep and cattle men carry poison with them to kill the wild ami mals found Cn the range, and that Por- ter had poison on his person was no in dication of suicide. Inquiry among d. timers and friends in this vicinity re- veals the information that Porter, while engaged in some difficulty with a sport ing man at Gallup, was shot in the left side, and the ball, resting so clcsa against the spine, made removal too dangerous. This was the cause of Por- ter often having something like epilep- tic fits. He has had several of these, and those who have seen him at those times have often wondered how he sur vived. The general impression among his oldest friends and acquaintances here is that it is one of th'csa fits which killed him, and net the poison.

Recently Scoville added a tin ming department to his establishment and it has been a success from the start.

AT THE INDIAN SCHOOL
A Building Has Been Erected for inc
 Use of Mr. B. Heyman.

Some time age large brick building
 was completed at the Indian school, and people wondered what it was to be used fer, and why it was built apart from the main building if it was to be used for school purposes, as was re- ported.
 It appears new that this building w-s erected by the government for tha use of MT. B. Heyman, Of this city, fo- the blaming and polishing Of onyx, and the pupils of the Indian school ale to be employed in the work. MT. Heyman went to Washington and made arrange ments with the interior department whereby the building was to be erected by the government providing the pup Is of the Indian school were employed. The building is a commodious struc- ture of brick and contains a numter of large rooms arranged for the occupancy of MT. Heyman's works.
 An experienced superintend snt has been engaged by MT. Heyman, who Will arrive in the city within few weeks to take chargecf the work. The Cnyx works, which are now located in the city, will be moved to the new quarters at the Indian school in a short time, and MT. Heyman expects to have opera tions begin in his new quarters early next month.
 The pupils will be trained in the work of polishing and preparing Cnyx for the trade which MT. Heyman has worked up in this line. They will be paid good wagss, and the governmen is satisfied that the investment it has made will be a profitable one for the school. It is the first departure of the kind in the territory, and one which will nc doubt be welcomed by the pu- pills.

Love Letter From the Dead.

lSan francisco EXaminer.)
In the trenches at Malate, after the bat
tie, the American troops found the corpse
of young Spanish lieutenant In one OF
the pockets was a photograph of himself
and the letter, a translation of which ap-
pears below. When Manila was occupied
by the Americans pretty Spanish girl
appeared at headquarters and requested
that the little trinkets found on the body
her. She was his sweetheart, the Senior
ita Monica Cabrera, to whom the love let
ter was addressed. He was killed before
he had a chance to forward the letter.
The letter was given to the young girl,
and she sobbed as though her heart was
breaking as she read the lines. The letter
was as follows:

Even the President Is Paid In Gold.
philadelphia Bulletin.)


Washington.-The treasury of the United
States is suffering from an over supply of
gold. For several months all payments of
salaries to government employees have
been made in gold, and yet the yellow
metal keeps pouring in faster than the
department can put IL in circulation The
payment of the $20000000 indemnity to
Spain for the Philippines was made in
gold. and while this reduced the surplus
there are yet many millions of yellow coin
in treasury vaults which the authorities
would like to see in general circulation
There is now in the treasury about S223, =
100000 in gold. The legal gold reserve is
Sl00000,000. The treasury department has
sl23O00.0 600 above this reserve. with the
surplus increasing rapidly. Speaking of
the matter. Assistant Secretary Wander
lip said that payments to employees in
gold began at least four months ago, and
were inaugurated because the treasury
had put into circulation all the paper il
could spare. Such is the condition pro-
duced by this glut of gold in the treasury
that the disbursing officers refuse to give
paper money across the counter in ex-
change for gold, and shop-keepers and
those with whom government employees
deal are protesting vainly against the
shower Of gold which comes to them in
trade. There Is a prospective famine in
paper money at he national capital. and
even the president of the United States
has to take shining heap of the largest
gold coins in the treasury every month
