WORTH 500 PER TON.
Assay on Matte by Burlingame Of Den-
yer Fixes That Value in the Prec-
ious Metal Taken from the Fa-
nous Mine-OnIy Mine in the
World Producing Platinum and
Copper.

The following sensational special
dispatch from Grand Encampment to
| the Denver News appeared in the Sun
day issue of hal paper. Parties here
know nothing more of the find than is
contained in the special, which is CIV
en- as it appeared in that paper. The
Republican hopes that every word is
| true:
The New Rambler mine in Grand
Encampment district is rich in plati-
num-.
Assays on ore by %Burlingame OF Den
yer give one and one-half to six and
ton.
An assay on matte from the Grand
Encampment smelter by Burlingame
gives 81 per cent copper and four and
Observation-Disclosures ounces plati-
mum to the ton.
Rambler ore is worth $S4 per ton in
copper and 800 per ton in platinum.
The daily output of the mine is fif-
ty tons.
The discovery probably makes mil
lionaires of the owners.
This is said to be the only mine in
the world producing both platinum
and copper, and is a most important
discovery, II places Graud Encamp-
ment among the richest districts in
the world.
Platinum, gold. silver. nickel, cop

Encampment Shelter Froze, up Agar

Word comes from En- campment.
just as we go to press, says. the Sara
toga SUM-, that the shelter at that
place is again idle, having been "froze
up" by reason Of there not being
enough sulphide in the ore used. II
is quite unfortunate that the smelter
should again shut down. as it will no
doubt have a very depressing tenden-
cy on the stock of that institution.
Saratoga, as we'll as Encampment,
feels every such drawback like the
mercury in the thermometer and we
regret the shelters stopp'age very
much.

The Douglas mine, one and one-half
miles from town. is going to be a fair
rival of the Rambler unless indications
fail. One car load of ore has been
shipped, and although returns have
not been received, the management is
confident that the load will pay big
money.
On the Douglas an incline has been
sunk 14O feet, securing a depth Of sew
enty feet. A large body of fine copper
ore has been cut. The workings are

No Lives Lost.

Helena, Mont, July 12.-Details of
the cloudburst which caused rush
of water from the foothills and into
the towns of Corbin and Wickes Tues
day night, show that the damage,
while not so large as at first believed,
was still quite extensive. Much valu-
able machinery and portions of the
building of the Peck ore controller
were badly damaged. Every house
in Corbin was flooded, but no lives
were lost. BY transferring Passen-
gers around the washed out sections
railway travel has been kept up. No
figures on the losses are obtainable.
Damage at Wickes was small.

date for Mayor OfNew York.

New York, July 9.-Some weeks ago
the republicans of the Twenty first
assembly district of this county, en-
dorsed a suggestion that Andrew Car
negie be candidate for mayor of
Greater New YORK. A copy of the
resolutions were sent to Mr.. Carne-
gle in Scotland and a reply has been
received from him. This reply is made
through his private secretary, and
reads:
Mr.. Carnegie desires me to say in
reply to your highly complimentary
letter of the 3Oth of March that he
finds the task he has laid out for
himself is one which will require
more of his time than any he has yet
undertaken. His time will be so
fully occupied for a long time to come
that it is impossible for MIN to ac-
cept your fattering suggestion, but
in doing so he wishes to assure you
that his interest in New York is not
excelled by any of his citizens"

indemnify Paid.

Washington, July 1.-THE state de-
partment has received the amount of
the American indemnity claim
against Turkey $4,000, through the
American legation at Constantinople.
The money was paid by the Turkish
government to Mr.. Leischmann, our
minister at Constantinople, was by
him placed in the Ottoman bank and
drafts remitted for the amount.
These drafts have just reached Wash
ington. AS is always the case the
claims in the aggregate considerably
exceed the amount of the indemnity
actually paid, but our government has
expressed itself satisfied with the
payment. 1t assumes full RESPONSE
bility for the distribution, the Turk
ish government paying down a lump
sum of 500. 5.CO0 and leaving it to the
state department to distribute among
the claimants at its discretion and
after it's own fashion. 1t is stated
that as soon as the department Off
cirls can prepare their list, they will
communicate with the claimants.

Going There to Apologize for
Murder of Won Ketteler.
HIS MILITARY COMPANIONS.
Two German Officers, Formally At

Pellin July 13.-The departure yes
4erday from Pekin of Prince Chun,
brother of Emperor Kwang-Su, who
has been selected formally to apollo
gize to Berlin for the murder of Ba-
ron Won Ketteler, was a spectacular
event.
4 special train took Prince Chun
and his suite from here to Taku, from
which port he will proceed by steam
cr to Shanghai. He sails from Shang-
hal July 20 for Genoa and will pro-
ceed directly from there to Berlin by

Prince Chun came to the railroad
station in Pekin on horseback. He
was gorgeously attired in the royal
yellow and followed by a long pro-
cession composed of members of his

A DASTARDLY GRIM E.
Negroes Are Charged With AS
ASsaulting a Young Lady.
CROWD WANTS THEM BAD.
Ifthe COIOred Men Are Gotten Hold Or
They Will No Doubt Ese Treated Very
RoughIy-A Very Deep FeeIin. Over
the Outrage Is Experienced.

Kansas City, July 13.-A crowd of
$500 excited men and boys surround
ed the county Jail here last night,
clamoring for vengeance against
three negroes, who criminally as
sauted Miss Grace Davis Wednesday
night in popuous and highly re-
spectacle neighborhood. Eight sus-
poets, two of whom have been ident-
fed, are held at the Jail and it is
thought that Marshall Maxwell will
be able to protect the prisoners. The
crowd so far has done nothing but
shout and threaten.
The crime was one of the most dar-
ing ever perpetrated here. Miss
Davis and her escort, Vernie Newton,
were walking together, and at Nine
teenth street and Woodland avenue
three negroes sprang upon them
from behind. Newton was knocked
senseless and Miss Davis was dragged
four hundred feet into private park
and assaulted. When she recovered
consciousness her escort was still in
sensible. Both are in a critical con-
dition.
At midnight the mob in front of
the court house had not diminished
but seems to be leaderless, and an Of
fensive movement is unlikely. The
crowd is largely composed of the
rough element, but many influential
citizens were urging the people to go
home. 1t is said six of the negro
suspects have been gotten away to
the workhouse. The negroes still in
Jail are the two who have been iden-
titied-Joseph Roberts and Frank
Holland. There is deep feeling over
the outrage among all classes, which
had already been aroused by the
murder of Tom Scruggs, son of Il
prominent citizen by gang of ruff
fans in Troost park last month.
The mob seems to have abandoned
its lynching plan. Five hundred
men in squads of IS are raiding the
negro quarter in the North End, chas-
ing and beating negroes and smash
ing windows.

f. \. Gould of the Wabash railroad,
when informed that the state depart
ment had asked Gov. Durbin to use
his influence to bring about a satis-
factory adjustment of differences be-
tween the italian government and the
Wabash, arising out of the wreck at
Cass. Ind, in which many Italians
were killed and injured, replied:
e''What can the governor do to aid
the sufferers more than we are do
ing? We have extra nurses and are
treating the injured the best we
know how. We have employed Anglo
Domico, native of Italy, who stays
at the hospital and sees that the in
iured are given whatever they ask
for. The dead were buried with due
respect"

Joliet, H., July 13.-Yesterday was
most exciting day here. BY an
order of the city authorities the Bis
sell hotel, large wooden structure,
was burned to destroy traces of
smallpox Three other buildings took
fire. but the names were eXtinguishcd.
Among them was German Evangelical
church. Fifty people, mostly ne
groes, were injured. During the
progress of the fire three barns in
another part of the city were burned
to the ground. The Richard Street
Methodist church, one of the finest
structures in the city. had a narrow
escape from destruction. Threats
of damage suits against the city are
numerous

Kansas City, Mo-, July 13.-No rain
fell yesterday in any part of the
drought stricken district, including
all of Kansas. western Missouri, Okla

much of this region this was the
worst day of the long hot spell, the
temperature being more than 100 de-
grees and no breeze stirring. Corn,
oats, hay and potatoes are so badly
injured that. even with rain, the yield
VIII be short, and as the weather
bureau gives no hope of relief, the
outlook is discouraging. At some
places in Kansas there has been no
rain fall whatever for nearly three
months. The present is the worst
drought since 1860, when New Eng

100 PER CENT.
That Is the Assessment Levied Upon
Stock of Seventh National Bank.

Washington, July 13.-Comptroller
Dawes received the preliminary re-
port from The receiver of the Seventh
National bank OF New York City yes
terday. The receiver states that mis-
estimate of the value of the assets is
of course only approximates. He
estimates the amount which finally
will be recovered for the depositors
from the assets, including stockhold-
ers assessment, at about so cents on
the dollar.
The receiver states that his esti-
mate of the value of the Marquand
collateral is less than is claimed by
the directors of the bank, and it is
claimed by the directors of the bank,
and it is possible on this account that
the final collections may be some
what better than the receivers es-
mate.
Comptroller Dawes stated yester-
day that all transactions connected
with the advance of cash to the bank
just prior to its failure are being
carefully investigated by competent
counsel, and that all legal rights of
the depositors will be protected in
this connection. Comptroller Dawes
ordered yesterday an assessment of
100 per cent. on the S5OO,0OO capital
stock of the bank.
The report of the receiver contains
no reference to any of the investiga-
tions now being made into the ques-
tion of the existence of criminal in
fractions of law. All these matters
are under the charge of the depart
ment of Justice.
