WILL BRUCE Is DEAD.
A Vic tim OF Ppivation and Filipino
Cruelty.

VIII Bruce Is dead He died at Ban
gued, in the northern part of the island
of Luzon, on the 4th OF May. Such
was the brief intelligence conveyed on
the envelope of letter which was writ
ten to him on March 23rd by he editor
of the NEWS and was just returned yes
terday by the Postofiice authorities.
As further confirmation of the sad
news wo copy the following from the
Reno Gazette of the llth:
Lieutenant w. O. Wright of the
first Nevada Cavalry is in receipt of a
letter from Vigan, Philippine Islands,
saving that William Bruce, who 1t will
be remembered was taken prisoner in
company with Honnyman while outside
the picket lines at Cavite, died on May
4th. Bruce was running a saloon at
Bangued, p. |. He had been sick ever
since his return from captivity"
While there seems to be no room for
doubt, there is yet one faint glimmer Of
hope that some mistake has been made,
as Mrs. Jas. Baird OF this place received
letter from Bruce's mother about two
weeks ago, which said that VIII had
he had written to her that he was
bout to start for home, but the pitiless
Destroyer overlook him before he had
embarked. The last letter which the
NEWS received from him was written
about April 10th.
William Bruce was born in Diamond
City, Illinois, on the 10Th OF January,
1876 He came west in 1893 and resided
in this county most OF the time, until
he enlisted two years ago, working at
mining and riding on the range. He
leaves an aged mother who resides at
Smithville. Arkansas, and two sisters
in the east. Mrs. James Baird now
residing at Lane City was first cousin
OF the deceased.
viii had a wide circle of friends here
who have followed his eventful exper-
ience in the Philippines with deep in
terest and who have been looking for
ward to the day when We might we'll
come him back to White Pine again to
recover from the effects of tropical
climate and the terrible privations that
he suffered as prisoner in the hands
of the Filipinos. But it was not to be!
His life was given to the service of his
country and like many another young
hero, he went ont TO fight her battles,
never TO return alive.

Bill Warner was arraigned before
Judge Tyler last Saturday afternoon
on a charge of selling whiskey to an In
dian. He admitted not only this OF
fence, but also that he had been max
ing a practice of selling whiskey to the
Indians. When asked by the Judge
how much he made by the traffic, he
replied, "Sometimes a drink, some
times half a bottle, sometimes four
bits . The Court concluded that three
months in jail was as light sentence
as tho circumstances would justify and
passed Judgment accordingly.
4 party of ladies who were fishing
last Friday near the Power Company's s
fiume at the head of Murray creek, dis
covered a couple of trout floating in the
ditch and so nearly dead that they
could be easily removed with stick.
A few days before one OF our citizens
found piece OF fuse on the bank OF the
creek not far from the same spot. The
two Incidents taken together lead to the
suspicion that some miscreant has been
using giant powder in the pools above
the dam, for the purpose of killing the
fish. Besides being contemplate and
unsportsmanlilke trick, such action is
punishable by both fine and imprison-
ment and it would probably go hard
with any one who was caught at it.

SAPHO is A WINNER.
More Good Ore Discovered on the
Claim.

The Sapho mine continues to fulfill
the hopes of its locators, p. c. Weber
and L. A. Cripps. A sample taken
from small cut about 400 feet from
the discovery shaft was assayed the
first of the week and showed value Of
s20.67 In gold and 1917 ounces of silver
per ton.
The writer paid visit to the prop
erty about two weeks ago and was par
ticularly impressed with the great sim
iarity of both the ore and country rock
to that on its near neighbor, the Ro-
bust, which is rapidly developing into
a bonanza mine. AS on the Robust,
the ore is a bluish-gray quartz, some OF
it heavily stained with iron, and lies
on a well defined contact between. black
lime and dolomite. This contact can
be easily traced for more than half the
length of the claim, with the ledge
cropping here and there for the entire
distance. So far as it has been pros
peeted, the best ore varies in thickness
from to lS inches, while underneath
it lies seam of ochre and thin casing
OF copper ore, both of which are char
acteristio Of the ore bodies in the Ro.
bust.
The Sapho is by long odds the most
promising gold prospect that has been
struck in this district for some time,

over the property and expects to leave

A NEW USE FOR ELECTRICITY

The process OF unhalring and tan
ming leather by electricity is an inter-
esting one and depends on tho physical
structure of the skim. The skin of an
animal being both porous and fibrous,
when placed between the two poles of
an electrical current, the action of the
current upon the skin has tendency to
open the pores and fbres, and each
hair being held in gelatine air cell
or cup, which is softened by the action
of the current, the hair is quickly and
easily removed from the skin. The
skin is then washed in cold water by
mechanical means and placed in the
tanning solution between the two poles
of the current, and eleotrolytio action
takes place opening the pores and fidres
of the skin, allowing immediate pene-
tration Of the tanning materials con-
tanned in the solution. This accounts
for the rapidity of the process.
1t might be supposed that electrical
tanning would burn and harden the
skin but such Is not the case, owing to
the chemical action of the solution the
skin is soft and pliable,
The process has been in use In the
east for year or more and is patented
in every civilized country of the world
where patent is obtainable. 1t is
bound to revolutionlze the business OF
tanning as it shortens the time to about
one-fourth that formerly needed. The
electric process is now used in Australia,
Germany, France and Italy and Eng
lish tanners are making arrangements
to adopt 1t this summer,

Now comes word from over 10 Au-
drain that Joe Mcintyre is fighting for
the office Of Prosecuting Attorney.
He was very prominent here for sew

$50 for having the best grade in his
law class, and also took the scalp from
the bloody Jay Hawkers from Kansas
In an inter- state debate-the only year
Missouri has ever won from Kansas.
He is q born fighter and loves nothing
