tested to Admiral Seymour against the

a Shanghai cablegram dispatched at
midnight. Admiral Seymour wired to

how he should act The British resi-
dents Of Shanghai are indignant and at
tribute the viceroy's action to intrigues
on the part of the French and Rus
sian consuls.
Official confirmation Of the objections
to landing troops at Shanghai has been
received at the foreign office here. but
owing to Lord Salisbury and his staff

The activity of the Chinese military
authorities at Canton is most pronounc-
ed. Foreigners there think they per-
ceive preparations for action Of some

WHAT A cOLORADON THOUGHT
OF NEVADA.

II have been out in western and cen
trial Nevad stopped on my way thro
and talked with people from White
Pine and adjacent districts, and from
the chunks of ore shown me, | should
say that certain gold discoveries may
change Nevada into gold proposition
Just like Colorado, . said John Allison
of Denver at the Walker house yester-
day. Everybody seemed to be talk
ing about the finds, especially in dis
tricts south of Wells. Stockmen, hotel
men, business men and ranchmen had
rock specked and lleeked with gold.
Owners of rich claims recently discoy-
cred were said to be doing their best to
keep the true character of the situation
from leaking out, until they and their
friends had made final locations of all
the best claims in sight.
"W nv. If some of those districts were
as near Salt Lake as Two-Bit gulch is
to Leadville, the whole city would be
out there in no time, and several brand
new Cripple Creeks would be started.
But, Judging from what | heard, !
should say there will be a rush from
California. and perhaps from this part
of the country, before fall to Nevada,
for it is difficult to keep mining finds
hid under a busheli long in these
times. Salt Lake Tribune.
The above interview portrays the
present situation in White Pine very
accurately except in one. particular.
That we have wonderful mineral riches
in our mountains there is not the least
doubt, but we are not trying to hide
them under bushel on the other hand
we have been shaking samples by the
bushel for years under the noses Of cap
italists and mining men, trying to coax
them to come and see for themselves.
We are at last succeeding, and unless
hard times strike the country again and
put stop to all speculative investment,
eastern Nevada will surprise the world
with her gold and copper in the next
five years.
