Reno Journal, November 20: With
every foot OF depth, the Reno Star
mine grows in richness. The ore is
being sorted into three grades and
only the poorest class is being shipped.
This is being sent out at the rate OF
two carloads week. 1t returns from
$3.50 to 81 GAO a carload. The second
grade is being sacked and piled up in
the ore house. 1t samples 1875 ton.
There is in the neighborhood of $4,000
worth of this ore on hand. George
Wedekind thinks so much OF the first
ore that he carries it home with him.
His old blackboard has a capacity for
only two sacks on the trip which he
makes daily. The boys are six sacks
ahead of the old man. This stuff il
pretty nearly pure metal. 1t runs
from 81. so to a.. so pound.

sECEDE.

Mrs. Dewey recently announced
to Washington friends that she con-
siders that the Admiral ranks next to
the President socially, and above
the Supreme Court and Cabinet. To
those who have asked for informa-
tion as to what she bases this claim on
she has answered that it is simply on
the merits of the case. and that fur
thermore, she is determined if this
honor is not conceded to the hero
of Manila, that Washington society
shall know them no more. They will
go abroad and reside among people
who have learned these nice distinc-
tions of high society.

MINING NOTES.

The pumps Of the Chairman mine
at Ely, White Pine county, are being
repaired preparatory to clearing the
shaft of water.
Today there are over 1000 miners
at work in and around Leadville, Colo
RADIO, and the daily output of ore ex-
ceeds 5000 tons, the average value OF
which ranges from $40 to 500 per ton.
A dry washer ia a machine some
what resembling a tanning mill used
in the desert, where no water is OBJ
tainable, for separating placer gold
from gravel. The material is worked
over dry rifles by shaking motion
and the dirt is simply blown away
from the heavier gold.
Cripple Creek, COL, is the greatest
gold mining center in the United
States; Butte. Mont, has probably
the largest number of residents en-
gagged in mining of any one American
city; Houghton county, Mich, has
about the greatest developed system OF
mining of any county on the conti-
nent.
According to the Sumpter (Or.)
Miner there has been shipped into the
Sumpter mining district withing the
twelve months an aggregate of 5,000,-
900 pounds of mining and milling ma
chinery. During the last three weeks
over fifty carloads, or million pounds,
have been received at the Sumptel
depot.
F. p. Swindler, General Superin-
tendent of Capt. ]. r. De Lamar's

TERMS FOR WEEKLY SENTINEL,
THE UNITED STATES COMPARED
WITH OTHER NATIONS.

The recent census has demonstrat.
ed the fact that the United States il
today the greatest civilized nation in
the world. While Russia proper
outnumbers us by less than 20 per
cent, probably not five per cent OF
the people of that nation can read
and write, while the number of miles
of railroad is only 26, 900 as against
1901 in this country. India and
China have. of course. much larger
population, but they are not to be
compared with the United States, for
the reason that they can not be re.
Rarded as civilized people.
The other great nations which are
comparable with our own in civiliza-
ton are now far outstripped by us in
numbers. The United Kingdom has
about Al ,O00. 900 inhabitants, or less
than 55 per cent of ours, and if we
add thereto the millions of Britons
and other civilized British subjects
in Canada, Australasia and elsewhere
throughout the empire, the grand
total will still fall far below our fig
ures. Austria Hungary, regarded as
one nation, boasts only $4,000. 900
people. France has only 100000.
The German empire is growing more
rapidly than any other continental
nation, yet it has today all told not
more than So, 600. 900 inhabitants. or
27 per cent less than the United
States. Italy has about $4,000. 900,
Japan 100000 and Spain 2O.OOO,-
600. Among all these the United
States, with its 6.O00,0O is a veri-
table giant. When we add .ha. this
country is increasing in population
more rapidly than any Of them. its
primscy in that particular seems as
sured.

Silver State: An attempt will be
made ut the coming session of the
Legislature to enact an eight'hour
law, applying to persons working in
mills, mines and for the State. A
law of this kind was defeated in the
last Legislature. Such q law would
be just one. but it will probably be
opposed by mine and mill owners, as
was the eight hour law OF two years
ago, by the threat to make a reduc-
tion in the wages of employees cor
responding with the lessenipg OF
their working hours.

THE NEW RAILROAD.
Indications That Nevada Will he
Directly Benefited.

The meeting Of capitalists held in
Salt Lake City on Thursday of last
week resulted in the incorporation
of the Los Angeles & Salt Lake
Railroad Company, and also Of the
California and Utah Exploration and
Development Company, the object
of which latter organization is to
develop the resources of the country
through which the road passes.
This company is capitalized at &c.
900, 900, 81 900, 900 of which is al.
ready available. Special attention
will be paid to the development of
the immense coal deposits of south
ern Utah and the oil field of Cali
fornia. but the mining and agricul-
tuial interests will be encouraged in
every way possible.
The Los Angeles & Salt Lake
Railroad Company proper has a cap
ital of s25 .000, 900 divided into 22O.-
600 shares of 81 900 each, and the
length of the road which it proposes
to build is l 100 miles, with branches
provided for to number of import
ant mining camps.
BY the articles of incorporation il
is seen that the road will pass through
the counties Of Salt Lake, Utah.
Tooele, Juab, Millard, Beaver, and
Iron, in the State of Utah, the
county of Lincoln in the State of
Nevada; and the counties of San
Bernardino. Riverside, Orange, and
Los Angeles, in the State of Cali
fornia.
These articles of incorporation
also provide for the purchase of
"the property and franchises, or any
part thereof. of any railroad corpor>
alton now or hereafter owning rail-
read property or franchises in the
State of Nevada, and which railroad
property and franchises are or may
be so situated and located as to con-
veniently and appropriately become
and be made a portion of the said
main line of railroad hereinbefore de-
scribed; or q branch line or branch
lines connected Herewith; and to
hold and operate such railroad, fran.
chises and property, and to build
and operate extensions and branches
thereof in the State of Nevada, and
to exercise all powers in said State
of Nevada conferred by the laws of
said State upon railroad corpora
tions."
What the object of the company
is in embodying the above clause in
its articles of incorporation is not at
this time evident, but that it has
plan in view to extend its line to
some point or points in this State at
some future time is clearly apparent.
The original stockholders OF the
new company number thirteen. Sen
ator W. A. Clark of Butte, Mont,
and r. @. Kerens, Of St. Louis, No.,
having each subscribed for stock to
the amount of 81, $50, 900. 1t is the
intention to begin work on the new
line at once.

Why We Are in China.

Our minister to the court of Pekin, his family and the legation attaches, are there as the repre- sentatives of this government. The other Americans in China are missionaries, and business men who are there to carry out con- sessions granted to American citizens for trade privileges, the building of railroads, the opening of mines, and other industrial enterprises which will benefit the empire. All these people are there by right-a right guaran- teed by treaty, and which the good faith of the Chinese govern ment is pledged to maintain.
 If the Chinese government finds itself unable to protect the per- sons and property of these people then it is our duty to do so. All the other powers are taking steps to protect their citizens. The right to do this, in case of need, is well-recognized principle of international law. We are not making war against China, but are simply acting in conjunction with all the other civilized powers to protect life and property and to aid the authorities to restore order.
 This government would be con- temptable did it pursue any other course. We would be the laugh ing stock of the world did we hold aloof and allow the other powers to protect American subjects and safeguard our treaty interests. The plain common sense of the American people will support the government Loyalty in it's course. The man who does not do so lacks patriotism, courage and Ameri- canism.
 The United States is acting in concert with the other powers. We are not in alliance with any of them, either actual or implied. There is no secret treaty or un- derstanding with any of them. This government has stated clears ly to the world it's policy in the Chinese matter. Here it is:
 First-To give immediate relief to Americans in China whose lives are in jeopardy.
 Second---To afford projection to Americans and American in- terests in China until order is re- stored and their safety is assured.
 Third-To prepare to protect

When seen and asked regarding his candidacy he refused to talk, saying the district judgeship must be disposed of first. But it is understood that should the vacancy exist his name will be presented to Presi- dent Mckinley for appointment.

Whole Family Poisoned.

Nine persons were poisoned to death by eating what they SUD- posed to be mushrooms in Marion county a few days ago.
 The Republican Banner of Yellville gives the following re- port of the accident;
 "An entire family of nine per- sons died last week from the eff feet of supposed mushrooms. w. J. Fink, aged 40; Mrs. Mary Lee Fink, 30; John E. Fink, an adopt ed son, IS; Zeakle Fink, IS; Sea- gel Fink, II; We'll Fink, 9; Rosie Lee Fink, '; Melan Fink, 6; and a babe of three months, constitu- ting the entire family, who were buried last week, together in the Unknown as they were together in this world.
 On Monday of last week they had for dinner what they SUD- posed to be mushrooms, making a hearty meal. Soon after eating they were all taken so violently ill that a physician was summoned by neighbor who chanced to visit the house. On Wednesday night John E., the eldest child, died, being followed in rapid succession during Thursday by Seagel, We'll, Rosie, Melan and Mrs. Fink, so that by Thursday night six were dead in the same room, two sheets covering the unfortunate ones. The neigh bors were strenuously assisting the physician in his effort to save the remaining three, but their ef- forts were in vain, as by Friday night they went to join those who had gone before, and thus those who had been united in life were united in death.

BRYAN AND STEVENSON.

William J. Bryan is native of Illinois; Adlai E. Stevenson is a resident of that state. Bryan was born at Salem; Stevenson resides at Bloomington.
 Both are lawyers. Stevenson is in active practice.
 Bryan was 40 years of age on the 18th of March last; Stevenson was 65 on the 23rd of October.
 Both have been candidates be- fore for the offices to which they were nominated by the Kansas City convention. The Illinois county of which Bryan is native gave him 400 majority in 1896. Christian county, Ky, of which Stevenson is native, is one of the strongest Republican counties in that state. It has large colored population. I Goebel lost it at the last election by 500 majority. Stevenson lost it when a candidate for Vice Pres ident in 1892. Bloomington, in which Stevenson resides, gave 2,225 Republican and 2, 100 Dem ocratic votes in 1892, with Stew enson on the Democratic ticket. Both Bryan and Stevenson have been members of Congress, each for two terms. Bryan was first elected in 1890; Stevenson sixteen years earlier.
 Stevenson was the tail of the successful Democratic ticket in 1892; Bryan was the head of the unsuccessful Democratic ticket in 1896.
 Nebraska, from which Bryan halls, has eight electoral votes; Illinois, from which Stevenson comes, has twenty four.
 Bryan was nominated for the Presidency in Chicago in 1896 on the fifth ballot, one of his oppo- nents being Stevenson. Steven son was nominated in the same city for Vice President four years earlier, on the first ballot, as he was in Kansas City. His oppo- nents were Isaac P. Gray of h. diana; Judge Morse, who has be- come Republican, of Michigan l; Henry Watterson and John l.. Mitchell of Wisconsin.
 Nebraska has never furnished the country with a President, or Illinois with a Vice President, ex- cept Stevenson. The only Re- publican candidate for Vice Pres- ident nominated from Illinois was defeated in 1884.
 Bryan and Stevenson were both in the Fifty third Congress; MT. Stevenson presiding over the sen- ate, and MT. Bryan being a mem- Der of the Ways and Means com- mittee in the House.
 Both Bryan and Stevenson are civilians-Stevenson distinctively so. He was, however, a member of the board of visitors to the West Polnt Military Academy Tn 1877.
 Bryan is a tireless and effective political campaigner. Mr. Stew enson dated his letter of accept ance of the Vice Presidential nomination in 1892 from Charles ton, w. w., and in it he wrote: 'The greatest power conferred upon human government is that of taxation" A rabbits foot was presented to him in that canvass.
 Neither Bryan nor Stevenson
