A CURIOUS SPECTACLE.
Traveller in Thfbet Describes His Ex'
perience Under a Cascade or
Mud and Stones.

Waterfalls are plentiful, but mud
fall'' is less common. In Mount Oml
and Beyond, A Record of Travel on the
Thibetan Border" Mr.. Archibald Lit
tie describes such fall, upon which
be came and under which he had to
pass in his travels.
ga sort of recess in the mountainside,
apparently scooped out by the river,
was filled by a huge Whirlpool into
which from above came steady fall
of rocks. For at the back of the recess
a mud fall tumbled over the cliff, here,
perhaps, a thousand feet high, bring
ing down with it constant stream of
rocks, which bounded over the mar
row footway and thence down the low
er slope with splash into the boiling
river.
eve sat down on the rock at the bot
tom and watched the spectacle.
WE had been told beforehand of all
sorts of impossible dangers, especially
since the heavy rains, but we were not
prepared for running the gauntlet OF
sach a cannonade as this. Never haV-
ing seen anything of the kind in our
previous experience of mountain coun-
tries, we should much have liked to
climb up the mountainSide, had that
been possible, and investigate the
source of this extraordinary stream,
which flowed on with steady persist
cncy that fascinated our gaze. But
unfortunately we could not afford to
Eoiter by the way and miss our daily
stages.
Presently some coolies came along,
and we watched with intense interest
how they would pass the fall. The
path was not foot wide, and in fact
was only retained as path at all by
the traffic over it, by which a way was
trodden in the shaly slope as fast as
it dribbled away. A big rock lined the
inside of the track on one side of the
fall, and under the lee of this the men
crouched. They watched for an ex-
ceptionally heavy shower, and when
this was over made bolt for it. This
maneuver was repeated by each indi-
vidual, and he was greeted by the
laughter of his companions as he sue
cessfully ran the gantlet. The stones
were all angular, and varied in size
from that of walnut to that of a
pumpkin, while the great height from
which they fell rendered them doubly
dangerous.
eve sat for nearly an hour watching
before we made up our minds to ven
ture, and / should certainly not then
have had the courage to do so had we
not seen the natives pass with i'm
punity. We went on at last and stood
under the sheltering rock at the very
edge of this novel cascade. The mud
dy, stone-laden stream made a loud,
rafting, grating noise as it carried
the smaller stones along with it; the
larger fragments came bounding down
in huge leaps as they crashed by.
Waiting for bigger mass than usual
to go by, we made the run, and all got
safely over.
'It was literally rock cascade, for
there was very little water in the
stream, and that quite shallow.
"Our pony jumped across without
any difficulty, but an invaluable watch
dog got panic-stricken when he felt
the ground moving beneath his feet,
and crouched down. [ was behind, and
was able to catch him up and save him
from death"

AN EXPERTS OPINION.

John NJ. Burke, a successful mine
promoter and manager, after whom
the town Of Burke, Idaho, is named,
is 10 Tonopah. A BONANZA reporter
sought an interview with Mr.. Burke,
asking his opinion of the mines, the
formation, the best manner of treat
ing our ores, and other topics touch
ing upon the development of our
camp.
Mr.. Burke is a conservative miner.
He has not been below the surface TO
examine our ore deposits, hence can
not offer an opinion as to the prob
able extent of the veins in width and
depth. But from the showing made
by the mountains of ore lying upon
the dumps along the Mizpan, Valley
View, Burro and Gold Hill lodges, he
says that in the history of mining
there has been nothing to parallel
the ore output OF the aforementioned
mines, either in time occupied in TAX
ing out this vast wealth or the space
opened to produce the same.
Mr.. Burke remarked that the pol
icy of the Tonopah Company is at the
present time retarding our growth.
He was equally aware of the fact
that owing to the changes in the
dictatorship of the company, no diff
ferent policy could be adopted until
after meeting of the stockholders
could be held.
The treatment of the Tonopah ores,
according to Mr.. Burke's theory,
would result in greater profits to
the mine-owners if the ores were
smelted. The ores are capable of
treatment by amalgamation only to
an So or 81 per cent saving of values,
and this is too great a loss to the
producer. The question of smelling
the ore on the ground will determine
itself if sufficient lead and iron ores
can be obtained in this vicinity-and
there are many deposits of both
metals in Nye county He says that
railroad communication with any of
the lines would work a revolution in
our camp.
Mr. Burke is not given to visions
in looking over mining fields, but he
says without hesita ton that from the
present outlook Tonopah should be-
come the greatest ore producing
camp in the world.

NEVADA'S GREAT FUTURE.

Inc following article appeared in
the editorial columns of the San
Francisco Chronicle recently:
The report Of a rich strike has just
come fEom the TOnopah mining dis
trict, Nevada. This camp attracted
much attention last year because of
the richness of the ore extracted
from the outcroppings of the Mizpah
vein by the tributers who worked the
property under leases, which expired
at midnight, December 3lst. This
vein has been explored for a distance
of about 1900 feet to depth in some
places of 300 feet, in all of which the
ore was high grade. Parallel veins
carrying lower grade ore were also
partly explored last year.
1t is estimated that at least
81, 900, 900 in gold and silver was
extracted from these veins before
the leases were surrendered. The
new discovery is, however, reported
to have been made in wild goose"
location, that is in territory that
gave no surface evidence of mineral
ization, the formation in sight being
nothing more than a barren wash
lava. Its exploration seemed to be
the rankest kind of speculative
risk.
But the adventurous miners who
undertook the task have been unex-
pectedly lucky. The shaft which they
sunk pierced the everything alluvium
to depth of 240 feet where it
entered a rich lead in the permanent
formation. This can fairly be called
fools luck. The estimates of wealth
contained in the district based upon
this new discovery are extraordina-
rily high, and may or may not be
realized. Time alone will determine.
There is nothing in the discovery,
however, which should excite anyone
unduly, for the whole of the Tonopah
district and miles of the adjacent ter
ritory are covered by mining loca-
tions, and anyone entering the field
must be content with virgin ground
70 he. ,f
ing activity.
The discovery of the Tonopah de-
posits has strengthened the opinion
that continuously mineralized belt
extends along the western side of
Nevada from Mount Davidson to the
neighborhood of Mount Whitney in
this State The Comstock lode is as
sumed by the theorists holding this
opinion to be merely blossom" of
the naturalization, and the Tonopah
veins another outcropping ''blossom"
of the same character Another rich
outcropping Of the same mineralized
belt is supposed to appear in the high
Sierras in MADEIRA county, at the
southern end of the Yosemite forest
reserve, where several mineral loca-
tions have been held for many years
past on enormous argentiferous ore
bodies which have been exposed by
the erosion of the deep Sierran can
yons in that neghborhood.
The theory that the Tonopah and
MADEIRA county deposits are con-
tinuation of the Comstock lode is
based on the course of the veins, the
similarity of the formation in which
they lie, and the character of the
ore they carry. Be this as it may, a
great virgin field of mineralized ter
ritory in western Nevada is inviting
capital to explore it, But the chief
value of the Tonopah discoveries is
contained in the evidence that Nevada
is only beginning to be fairly appre-
ciated as mining field

representing the Salt Lake Herald.
After a short acquaintance he married

treasurer of Lemhi county Walsen be-
came manager of the paper, enlarged it
and made a semi weekly, taking gen
eral charge of the business, and was q

tensibly on business trip. When he
did not return it became rumored that
possibly the county funds were not

she has no deputy the Office has been
closed since her departure She is ex-

commissioners will be called in session
and the facts of the case made public.
1t seems that her business trip was for
the. purpose of locating and bringing
her recreant husband to justice, as he
was arrested at her instance.
1t also transpires that Walsen was an
ola offender, having served time in the
Utah and Colorado penitentiaries.
Application has been made to the
governor of Utah for requisition papers.
and Walsen will soon have hearing in
the Idaho courts, when all the particu-
lars OF the alleged theft will come to

HOW NEW YORK GOVERNORS
ALTERNATE POLITICALLY
Control of State Has Been Equally Di-

control OF State Has Been Equally Di-
vided Between Parties.
The Republicans and Democrats
since the formation of the Republic
an party have each had control of the
goYernorSh1p of the state of New York
Tor tWenty-three years, the terms Of
Cows Robinson, Cornell, Cleveland,
Hill and Flower being for three years.
The election this fall will break the
tie between the two great political par
ties. The Republicans have elected
nine governors, as follows: John A.
King, Edwin D. Morgan, Reuben E..
FentOn, John A. Dix, ,Alonzo B. Cor
nell, Levi P. Morton, Frank S. Black,
Theodore Roosevelt and Benjamin B.
OdelI Jr. Morgan and Fenton served
two terms. No Republican, governor
has been elected since Fenton in
1866. 1t remains for Gov. Odell to break
the record. The Republican governors,
with the exception of Fenton and
Roosevelt, were all elected by big ma
jorities. Black heads the list, with
212, Morton had $4,000 and Odell
111,000. Dix was defeated for re-elec-
ton in 1874. Morgan ran for governor
again in 1876, but was defeated
The Democrats during this period
have elected seven governors, viz:
Horatio Seymour, John T. Hoffman,
Samuel ]. Tilden, Lucius Robinson,
Grover Cleveland, David B. Hill and
Roswell p. Flower. Hoffman and Hill
were both reelected, Seymour and
Robinson were defeated for re- election.
Cleveland had the largest majority,
$4,000 Hill had close call in 1885,
getting in by 1900 plurality. He ran
again for governor in 1894 and was
showed under by $4,000 adverse ma
jority.
Each party has reelected two gov
ernors, while two Democrats were de-
feated at the polls for reelection and
only one Republican. 1t will thus be
seen that Gov. Odelrs chances for re-
election are good this fall, when view
ed from historical standpoint.

Cleveland and Hill survive. while Of
