RICH STRIKE OF GOLD.
Sumpter Mine Yields a Streak Of Ore Which
Assays $4,000 to the Ton.

Baker City, Or, May ia message
from Sumpter says that the strike in
the Golconda mine, which was reported
Thursday, proves to be much greater
than at first supposed. The winze sunk
from the 200 foot level has opened up
the ore shoot which was first discovered
in 1899, and afterwards lost because
the former owners persisted in looking
for it to the south Of the main shaft,
assuming that 1t dipped in that direc-
ton. There is a rich pay streak in the
vein matter that averages 16 to IS
inches wide, and the assays made today
from samples Of ore from this portion
of the vein run $50, 900 to the ton. 1t
is free milling ore, and so rich that
some Of the specimens run over so per
cent pure'gold. Aside from being very
valuable the specimens are exceedingly
beautiful.
On one side of this rich pay streak
there is three feet of sulphurets that
assays 800 to 81 900 to the ton, and
on the other side there is wide strip
of good milling ore. A careful exam
ination of the ground and the vein es-
tablishes the fact that it is perman-
ent vein, and not a pocket that has
been opened.
The Golconda was sold by the Eng
fishes, father and son, of Danville, H.,
to a syndicate composed principally of
Pendleton people and ]. H. Robbins, of
Sumpter, for $780, 900 cash.

HOLD MANCHURiA.
Concessions to England Furnish an Excuse
for Russian Occupation.

Pekin, May ia second railroad
agreement, which Sir Earnest Satow,
the British minister to China, and
Yuan Shi Kai, director general of the
Pekin-Shan Hal Railway, signed the
same day the agreement restoring the
Pekin-Shan Hal Kwan line was made
and which the parties there attempted
to keep secret, has become known
among the diplomats and is arousing
opposition from the powers interested
in railroad projects. Friendly observ-
ers regard Great Britain's railroad
agreements as a serious diplomatic
blunder. Before they were signed it is
said, there was no apparent obstacle
that Russia could urge for failing to
fulfill the Manchurian convention.
Now the Russian diplomats frankly say
these railroad agreements furnish OBJ
stacles such as were contemplated by
the stipulation in the Manchurian con-
ventiOn that Russia would evacuate if
no other powers interposed obstacles.
For Great Britain to abandon its second
agreement means loss of prestige to
insist upon it means grave complica-
tions in the Manchurian question.

BOTH ON ONE TRACK.
Passenger and Freight Tarin Meet in Nebraska
and -Four Men Killed.

Lincoln, Neb., May 20.- Four men
were killed and four others more or less
injured in collision on the Burling-
toms Billings line, at o'clock this
morning.
The collision occurred mile east of
Hyannis, between the Portland-St.
Louis flyer, east bound, and an extra
stock train, west bound, with 25 car.
loads OF cattle for the eastern range.
There is nothing definite to indicate
who was responsible for the two trains
moving in opposite directions being
on the same track, and no details as to
the rate of speed at which either was
going.
1t was necessary to build a track
around the wreck, and this has indef-
nitely delayed the arrival of the pas
senger train, which was due here at |
O'Clock this afternoon. A wreckine
crew was sent out from Alliance bear
ing surgeons. Hyannis is in Grant
county, 70 miles east of Alliance, which
is division headquarters for the
Wyoming extension.
Lincoln, Neb., May 90 Reports
from the scene of the wreck tonight say
the passenger train had orders to meet
the freight at Hyannis, but the orders
were misread. With full head OF
steam the passenger train dashed into
the two engines of the freight extra.
The engines, baggage car, one coach
and three stock cars were completely
wrecked.

GEN. cHAFFEEs RETURN.
Had Satisfactory interviews With DattOs Of
MindahaO.

Manila, May 21.--General Chaffee
returned here today from Lake Lanao,
in the interior of the island of Min
danao. He said he saw several Moro
Dattos while there and had most satis-
factory interviews with them. Nearly
all the Dattos and especially the sur
viving sultans claim to entertain friend
ly feelings toward the United States.
In view Of cablegram which Gen.
eral Chaffee received today from Gen.
eral Davis, who is in command of the
American force in Mindanao, and in
which it appears that Datto Ruty has
apparently refused to return the ami
mails he captured from the American
army, General Chaffee is not prepared
to say that there will be no more fight
ing in Mindanao. General Davis re-
ports that Datto Ruty says he is ready
to fight, but General Chaffee believes
that although it may be necessary to
bring this Datto to terms, his resistance
Of the American forces must necessarily
be slight.
Datto Ruty's forts are situated on a
high hill. They could be surrounded
by line of skirmishers, who could
prevent the Datto from obtaining water
and who could thus force practically
bloodless victory in few days.

STRIKE HEADQUARTERS.
Opened by Mitchell at WiIkcsbarrs The Soft
Coal Question.

I0al question.
Wilkesbarre, Pa, May 21.-Presi-
dent John Mitchell, of the United
Mineworkers of America, arrived here
from Hazleton shortly after 9 o'clock
tonight, and established strike head
quarters at the Hotel Hart. The
national president stated that so far as
the miners side of the controversy was
concernd, the situation had not changed
in the least,
Mr.. Mitchell's attention was called
to the fact that the city of Philadelphia
had contracted for a supply of bitumin-
GUS coal to take the place of anthracite,
which had been cut off by the railway
companies furnishing it. In reply to
question as to whether the minework.
ers would attempt to prevent the ship.
ment of soft coal to places where hard
coal is used, he said: Considering
the proposition in general way, I will
say that we do not desire to make any
city victim or have any person suffer
because of our quarrel with the coal
companies" D."
He was pressed for a more explicit
statement, but refused to go into it any
deeper, except to say that it was a
matter which would have to be settled
by the three executive boards of the
anthracite fields They will meet here
today. Judging by the action of the
union during the last strike, when
efforts were made to stop the shipment
of soft coal into anthracite territory,
it is not unlikely that the miners will
take similar action within the next few
days.
Two carloads OF foreigners left the
Hazleton region today. Most Of them
were booked for New York, whence
they will sail for their native coun-
tries. Most of the foreigners will seek
work in the bituminous region.

Louisiana State Authorities May Take Action
In the Matter.

Washington, May 17.-As the presi-
dent, after considering the report of
Colonel Crowder, has decided that he
cannot interfere with animal shipments
at Port Chalmette, La, and as the ex-
ecutive is the only branch of the gov
ernment clothed by the Constitution to
pass upon the application of the laws
of neutrality, as expressly affirmed by
the Louisiana courts recently, it is be-
lieved here that the Louisiana state au-
thorities will seek to make an issue
with the federal courts. by undertaking
to do what the president himself has
not seen fit to do.
1t is presumed that in due course the
executives decision will be communi-
Gated to the governor of Louisiana, who

.TW0HUNDRED DEAD
GAS EXPLoDES IN A TENNESSEE
%
MINE WITH FATAL RESULTS.
Only One Man Escaped Instant. Death and
He viii Die Of His Injuries Was the
Oldest Mine in That District, Having
Been TCdAsd Since iS7O-Work Of Res.
cue Began at Once.

Coal Greek, Tenn, May 2l. - Be-
tween 175 and 225 men and boys met
instant death at the Fraterville coal
mine, located two miles west OF this
town, at 1880 O'Clock yesterday morn
ing because of gas explosion.
OF the large number of men and boys
who went to work in the morning only
one is alive and he is so badly injured
that he cannot live. One hundred and
seventy-fve miners were checked in for
work yesterday morning by the mine
boss. In addition to these there were
boys who acted as helpers and drivers,
and roadmen and others to the number
of perhaps so. The Fraterville mine
is the oldest mine in the Coal creek
district, having been opened in 1870,
1t is fully three miles from the opening
of the mine to the point where the men
we're at work. They had not been at
work long before the terrible explosion
occurred. There was a fearful roar,
and then flames shot from the entrance
and the air shafts.
As soon as possible two rescuing par
ties were started in, one at the main
entrance, the other through the Thistle
mine, which adjoins, and in which no
men were at work. The Thistle party
was unable to make any headway, as
the gas stifled the workers. The Fra
terville party went fully two miles
under the earth until heavy fall of
slate was encountered. At this barrier
the men worked desperately, hoping
against hope that those beyond might
be safe.
The news of the disaster spread
quickly, and the scenes at the mouth of
the mine while the workers we're with
in were beyond description. Work
was suspended in Coal Creek and all
its mines as soon as the news became
known, and men, women and children
gathered around the Fraterville en-
trance. Women whose husbands and
sons were within were wild with grief
All day long the rescuers toiled at the
slate obstruction, and not until 5
o'clock did they force an entrance
through it. Up to that hour only five
dead bodies had been recovered, and
hope was still high that many miners
within were still safe. The hopes OF
the living were doomed however, for
when once the rescuers had entered and
proceeded they walked along one con-
tinuous tomb of death. There was not
a sign of life. Every man had per-
ished.
Eight dead bodies we're first recov.
cred, and these were sent to Coal Greek.
Twenty-six were soon found. They
we're not disfgured beyond identified
tion, and each corpse as it was borne
from the mouth of the great tomb was
surrounded by eager crowds of relatives
of the men who had been stricken
down. The mine was not on fire, ex-
cept in remote portions.

BIG BOER DRIVE.
British Columns Capture -Four Hundred Pris
Oners At One Haul

oners At One Haul
Vryburg, Bechuanaland, May 90
The immunity which Lord Kitchener
granted to the delegates to the Veree-
niging conference of Boer leaders and
their immediate followers from mo-
lestations by the British columns has
not prevented the consummation of one
of the biggest drives of the war, which
has just wound up against the Bechu-
analand blockhouse line. General
Hamilton ana other commanders have
gathered in 400 prisoners, including
100 rebels and recalcitrant Beers who
have caused much trouble in the past.
Among the prisoners are a brother Of
General Delarey and several other COM
mandants.
The movement was remarkable Tor the
lack OF resistance by the Bores, most Of
who surrendered, after aimless dodging,
without fighting. There were no Brit
ish casualties. Five hundred Beers
managed to escape in the earlier stage
of the drive.

Dicision in Iowa Iiouor Case.

Des Moines, Ia, May 1.-THE state
supreme court has ruled that the sale
of liquor to "boot-leggers" and other
resident violators of the Iowa law, cam
not be prohibited when the sales are
made by agents of nonresident dealers.
The court holds that the section of the
Iowa liquor law, known as the "mulct
law" prohibiting such sales, is in con-
hict with interstate commerce laws and
is, therefore, unconstitutional. The
effect of the decisions to prevent fur
ther seizure of liquor in the hands of
express and other transportation COM
panies and disposes of dozens Of such
cases now pending.

The Revolt in Chi IL

st. Petersburg, May 81. A telegram
from Khabarovsk, East Siberia, dated
May Is, says the revolution the so th-

Chi Ii has become considerably more
serious during the last few days, and
the greater part Of the population is
Involved. The insurgents are now
estimated to number 80, 600 men under
the leadership of Tsin Min Pin, a mill
