FOREST
IFS Friction
FIRES BURNING NEAR THIS
SECTION
Farmers Should Take The
Matter in Hand

For the past month a number of
forest fires have been burning in the
mountains west of this city. Some
one is to blame for this wanton de-
struction of the second growth tim
Der that is growing in the section
where the fires have devastated. In
Little Valley, at least 5000 acres of
small timber has been destroyed by
the fire that has ragged there for the
past two weeks. Yesterday a fire
was started at the head of Tufiy fat
on the mountains back of this city.
There is considerable new timber in
that section. and if the farmers ne
elect to extingnish the fire. they will
feel the effects in the coming summer
as the point where the fire has started
is the real water s:led for the small
farms and the water company of this
city.
The government has warning DOS
ted in the post Office building and Of
ters reward for the arrest and con-
viction of any party that is found
starting forest fires. If the work is
done for malicious mischief, the fire
hug should be landed in the peniten-
tiary. and if it is the work of some
carelesness, the warning should be
enough. What Nevada needs is a for
est Inspector who will make it his
business see that parties who are
guilty of this sort of work are brought
to time. 1t should be his further du
ty to see that when a fire starts, that
a force of men is placed in the timber
and save it from spreading. One look
at a piece of forest land that has
been Quilted by fire or destroyed By
the timber thief convinces the most
conservative that some law should
be formulated that will protect the
farmer and citizen from wanton
waste and scarscity of water shed.

At The Hotels

For the past year the hotel regis
tiers of this city have contained names
of more mining men than for the past
twenty years. Take the register near
ly every day and the name of some
man seeking mining investment is
to be found. Go to the clerk and ask
who that strange gentleman is and
it is a two to one bet that he will
state that he is a mining man that is
looking for investments. It is a
good indication as to which way the
financial wind is blowing, and it is
blowing pretty stiff gale In these
parts.

The general delivered a short address in which he expressed sympathy with the people in the affiictiCns which had come to them with the war and the cholera. He said he hoped for an early improvement in their affairs.
 From Hilo General Miles proceeded to Jolo.

Another American Boy, a Gunner, Took a Terrible Revenge Upon the Rev olutionists for tho Death of His Countryman.

Panama, November 12.-The first American casualties as a result of the revolution occurred yesterday. The Colombian fleet captured a boat having on board correspondence showing the whereabouts of two revolutionary schooners loaded with provisions. Gov ernment warships headed for the place, and arriving there the Bogota (former- ly the Jessie Banning), manned by an American crew commanded by Captain Marmaduke, lowered two boats with armed men, but as the schooners were aground they waited until high tide to attack them.
 In the meanwhile the revolutionists were discovered in ambush close to the beach, and when the Bogota's boats pulled ahead the second time the rebels opened fire on them. killing the ships armorer, Richard Kane of Washing ton, and wounding George Walker, who was shot through the legs. A seaman named Clarke and Lieutenant Vasquez were also wounded, but not seriously.
 The Bogota and Chucito then opened fire on the enemy and killed every man in sight. One shot was fired at a group of ten rebels who were most actively engaged in shooting at the boats crews and killed every one of them. Gunner Cross of the Bogota thinks that from forty to fifty rebels were killed One of the schooners, the Helvetia, loaded with

 BENT ON BUSINESS
The Statehood Hearings Were
 Begun at Los Vegas
The Senators Decline All Receptions, Putting in the Whole Time in In- quiry Into Territorial Conditions. The Method of Procedure.

East Las Vegas, N. M, November F. At the first official hearing of the United States senate subcommittee on territories, held in this city today, the first witness was William J. Mills, chief justice of New Mexico, who was fol- lowed by Nopomuceno Segura, official Interpreter for all the courts.
 The committee declined all entertain ments and receptions, took up hearings within an hour after its arrival, and with a brief intermission during the day, in which it drove in and about old and new Las Vegas, it was in ses- sion the whole time of its stay in this city.
 It left at midnight tonight for Santa Fe, where it will resume its hearings at g o'clock tomorrow morning. The method of work as shown by it's first official visit includes the examination of the court dockets and records of the judicial districts of the territory and taking extracts from them, penetrat- ing all sections of cities, visiting and talking with the inhabitants of each locality, inquiring into the conditions as they exist in the schools, in courts and in the cities and country generally.
 Some of the prominent witnesses at todays hearings were Jesus Maria Tefoya, Felipe Baca, Y. Garcia, jus tices of the peace, and Pablo Ulibarri, Diamo Dec Sena, Jose Limo Rlberra. Pablo B. Jaramillo and Rafael Gallegos, census enumerators also Enrique Ar milo, principal of the Las Vegas schools.

 The total number of fine ounces of gold produced was F, TAO, TAG, and of sill yer 174,99S,573, the coinage value of the latter being $226, 260, 700.
 MT. Roberts says that the annual consumption of precious metals is es- timated in round numbers at $SO, ,O0O 900 gold and 57,OOO, GOO silver The silver market was depressed throughout the year.
 The highest quotation in the London market was 295s on January and the lowest "A 15-16 in December.
 The purchase on account of the gov ernment of India fell off heavily from the preceding year. The coinage,of the Indian hints for the eleven months ending with February. 1902, was only S4S, ,507 500 rupees, against $50, 7SO, 764 ru- pees in the same months of the pre- vious year. The demand for China also declined, owing to the retirement of most of the foreign troops called there during the boxer troubles of 1900. While the troops were there the ship ments of silver bars and Mexican dol lars accumulated at the seaports in un- usual amounts. rendering further inn ports for the time unnecessary
 The European demand for silver for coinage purposes is light, as the gov ernments are pursuing the policy of supplying needs for subsidiary coins by the recoinage of full legal tender coins.
 About 30 per cent of the silver output of the United States is from silver ores. the remainder being reduced in conjunction with lead and copper.

WILHELM AS A SHOT.
He Overshadows King Edward and
 Other Sportsmen.

Sandringham, Eng, November 12.- Emperor William today proved his prowess as a remarkable shot. He kept three loaders extremely busy.
 King Edward, the Prince of Wales, Count Wolffs- -Metternich, the German ambassador, and the other members of the party are all good shots, but twice as many pheasants fell to the emperors gun as to those of the others.
 The large crowds who came to wit ness today's drive, which was the big gest one arranged for the royal visit. had an excellent view of the sport, and as bird after bird dropped before the unerring aim of the emperor the spec tators openly expressed their admira- ton, much to the emperor's amusement
 The days bag was one of the biggest on record.

not been published in advance, there were waiting crowds at almost all the stations and there were plenty of cheers as the train swept by. At Trin- way, a small place west of Dennison. the school children lined up on either side of a large American flag and waved their hGndkerchiefs. The presi- dent stepped out on the rear platform and waved his hat in response to the demonstration of the little ones.
 At other places he showed himself and at Dennison he made a few re- marks to the crowd.
 The only stop between DennisOn and Cincinnati was at Columbus. where there was a stop of fifteen minutes to change locomotives. The gallery at the station overlooking the tracks was crowded with people.
 At Cincinnati the presidents train stopped from 6:10 until 6:33. large crowd was in waiting, but it was kept without the gates and a space sur rounding the presidents train was kept clear by a platoon of police while the cars were switched from the Pennsyl- vania to the l.. and N. tracks and en- zines were changed.
 After the president had greeted tho crowd he returned to the other end or the station and saluted the engineer and other trainmen as he passed them. When he reached the car he held a re ception with those who surrounded him.
 AS the train pulled out the president bowed his farewell acknowledgements. The train is expected to reach Mem phis at e:30 tomorrow morning.

Cincinnati, O., November 12.-Tonight President Roosevelt is speeding down through Kentucky on his way to Smedes. Miss, about twenty-five miles north of Vicksburg, for four-day bear hunt.
 The place selected for the hunt is some miles from the railroad and in a region which was formerly the favorita hunting ground of General Wade Hampton.
 Years ago the president a:d General Hampton planned a hunt in this re- zion, but it was never made, and when President Stuyvesant Fish of the H. linois Central proposed the present trip the president readily assented-
 The president. however, does not an- ticipate the pleasure of killing a bear as much of the pleasure of a few days complete recreation in the woods. To one who has hunted grizzlies in the Rockies, black bears are not very big game. But hunting bears with horse and hounds will be a new experience for him.
 MT. Fish has arranged to have sne of the best packs of hounds in the Mis- sissippi delta at the camp. From Mem phis the train will then proceed to Smedes over the Mississippi and Yazoo Valley railroad. Upon arriving there or near there it will be run up on ] siding there to remain until next We'd nesday, when the president will return to Memphis.

Scranton, Pa, November 12.-The an swer of the independent operators of the Lackawanra-W Wyoming regions to the statement of President Mitchell oi the Mine Workers union was made public today.
 In response to the demand for an in crease in wages, they say that the present wages are such as to enable the diligent and skillful miner to earn more per hour than any ether class of labor, skilled or uuskilled, in the towns in which their mines are located, and are amply sufficient to allow him not only to maintain an American stand ard of living and educate his children, but to lay aside something for his old age.
 That some miners wages are small. it is stated, is because they choose to exercise their option to work only a few hours day.
 Regarding the declaration of the miners that labor unions improve the morals and discipline of their members, this comment is made: This may be true when applied to some organiza- tions but when applied to the miners union we enter a most emphatic de- nial and propose to introduce evidence showing that prior to the advent of the United Mine Workers Of America it was considered bad form to kill or maim a citizen who attempted to exer- else his constitutional rights to sell his labor and that the vast number of bru- tai murders and beatings during the past five months show that the teach ings oi the United Mine Workers has brought about such moral obliquity that it's members believed themselves justified in these acts, and also that the officers of the union justified this course by furnishing bail and counsel for those who have been guilty of these acts.
 We believe We will be able to prove such tremendous losses of life and money as the direct results cs the methods of this particular union as to convince your honorable commission that it is inexpedient to do any act which may contribute to it's continued existence"
