According to the Journal, the Re-

Congressman. The man who handled

an avowed f~usionist and was chosen

The line of men awaiting their divvy
from the sack extended for over a

finally closed the house and cleared
out the gang of bribers. The sack was
then transferred to another quarter,
where the vote buying continued, but

that the story first told of the remark
able richness of the ore was not ex-
aggerated. 1t is said that the country
for miles from the original discovery is
being staked, and the hills in the vi
cinity of the find are the scene of a
great deal of activity.

Nitre Bed Fake.

A Washington official of the Geolog-

of miners into Death valley to locate

SO much effort and suffering will re-
suit in disappointment to prospectors
going to eDath valley. There is not
the slightest chance that anybody 60
ing in to locate inter viii make a dol
lar. The demand for saltpeter is COM
paratively small, taking all manufac-
lures, mining, medical and chemical
uses, including %gunpowder manufac-
ture, and the market is held at present
by a trust that controls all the salt
peter to fill all the demands in sight.
1t is insane for the average miner to
go into Death valley to locate inter
claims. So far as profit is concerned
they might as we'll make a rush on
Salton basin and locate salt claims"

Particulars Of the shooting al Day
ton Monday night show the affair to
have been a cold-blooded murder, says
the Virginia Chronicle. Zarro did not
strike Buralli, but was walking away
when the latter came out of Benasi's
saloon. The victim was only a few
feet away and the bullet struck him in
the right arm a few inches above the
elbow, penetrated the body, perforated
both lungs and severed the main artery
of the heart. Zarro leaves a wife and
two children. There was great ex-
element in Dayton after the shooting
and considerable talk of %lynching, but
wiser counsel prevailed and the indig-
nant citizens decided to let the law
take its course.
