END OF CAPE NOME CRAZE.
The Distltution Is Already Terrible,
With Men Coming In at the Rate
OF 500 Day.

The secretary of the treasury has
received q letter from G.. Rudolph,

Rudolph and suggests it's publication.

liberty of sending you few lines. 1

miner, 1 am capable of sizing up
new mining camp in few days. 1 ar
rived at Nome June 10. 1 and my
partner tried working the beach for
gold in several places, and L personally
saw others by the thousands do the
same, but not in one instance did we
see man take out enough gold to pay
for his grub. The only place where
any gold was being taken out was be-
tween the beach and the Tundra.
There men were only making days
wages of from 81 to $40 day. This
place is about three-fourths of q mile
long, and it is all now nearly worked
out. L, with the thousands of others,
had been led to believe that after
winter or alter any storm the beach
would be just as good as 1t was origin
ally. That Is not so. When once
worked out the beach is done for.
"While at Nome [ talked with men
who had come from points as far ss
fifty miles below the camp. They told
me they found nothing, and they were
going further NORTH. L talked, too,
with men who had come from poiuts
far up the beach, but they declared
there was nothing up there, and they
were going down the beach. So it
seems that the whole stretch is nearly
all worked out.

BARTOLA SALClDO
Testified at Trial of Munoz Today

Testified at Trial of MunoZ Today.
The trial of Jesus Munoz, charged
with rape on Bartola Salcido, four
teen year old Mexican girl, was con-
tinued today before Justice Ellis.
The girl took the witness stand yester-
day, and her testimony was again
heard today. Al eleven o'clock this
morning q recess was taken until to-
morrow afternoon at O'Clock. The
defence will have witnesses in court
from Juarez by that time.
The story told by the girl is to the
effect that under promise of marriage,
Munoz seduced her in Ell Paso, and
then persuaded her to go with him to
Juarez. She remained there three
days at the residence of a widow whom
she told that her parents were out
of the city, and that she wanted some
place to stay during that time. AT the
end of three days the girls mother dis
covered her whereabouts and took
her home. Muncz was arrested short
ly afterward.
The girl claims to be only fourteen
years of age. and the prosecution ts
based on the grounds that she was too
young to give her consent to go to
Juarez with MunoZ. Munoz was COM
pletely identified in court by the wit
ness.

Railway Employees In The Campaign
Early in september delegated mem

Employees Political League of Illinois
will meet in Chicago to make plans for
the organizations work in the state
Legislative campaign. 1t Is expected
that the recommendation will be heart
lily supported by the 80, ZOO railroad and
telegraph employees in the state.
The foremost object of the league Ia
to support as best 1t can everything
that would be beneficial to railroad and
telegraph employees. At the Septem Der
meeting the delegated members will
appoint special committee to ascertain
the positions of candidates for the
legislature relative to railro ads and
railroad legislation. This committee
will be directed to interview every
candidate in the race. After having
secured the desired expressions 1t will
report to the league the results of it's
labors. The officials and executive
committee of the league will pass upon
that the support of railroad and tele-
graph employees be given to those can
dfdates who would not stand in the

Telephone VS.. Telegraph in Railroad
Work.
1t is probable that within COM
short time telephones
may supplant telegraph instruments
on all main lines of the Pennsylvania
railway system, says Chicago dis
patch. Preparations are being made
to string additional wires along the
principal lines, which are to be at
tsched TO arms on poles and signal
bridges. When the work Ia finished
much of the business now transacted
by telegraph will be- done by means of
the telephone.
Several railway companies In differ
snt parts OF the country have been
with the telephone in
handling trains. For some time the
illinois Central has operated the trains |
using the St. Charles air line, as the |
structure in Sixteenth street |
between the lake and the river is |
,alled, by telephone message instead |
of the telegraph and the usual train |
The results of these experiments have |
been highly satisfactory. Direct ver- |
pal communication is had between |
those directing the movement of
srains and those in charge of the same.
Where it is necessary for the person |
receiving message to write the same |
be may do so, with the additional ad- |
that he may repeat the dis |
patch verbally to insure it's correct |
