The Savannah morning news. (Savannah, Ga.) 1900-current, 1902-03-09

The Ministerial Association of Louis
vile, KY, has taken a firm stand
against Sunday funerals. The spokes-
man of the association says that the
undertakers, grave-diggers, cabmen
and others are standing solidly with
the ministers in favor Of abolishing
the Sunday funeral. When one comes
to consider it, it does seem rather in
considerate that people should die at
such times as to make Sunday funer-
ais desirable. 1t seems to be quite as
easy to die on a Friday or Monday
as on a Saturday. But then there may
be those who think it is bad luck to
die on Friday. Meanwhile the minis
tiers say they have enough to do on
Sunday without burying people, and
the grave diggers and cab drivers
claim that every man is entitled to
one days rest in seven.

The English people will no doubt re-
greet that Miss Roosevelt is not to at
tend the Coronation. They were look
ing forward to Ter visit as an oppor-
tunity for counteracting the pro-Ger-
man impression created in this coun-
try by the visit of Prince Henry. Miss
Roosevelt would unquestion have
been made the recipient of exceptional
honors, for the purpose of drawing
the attention of the United States to
the very cordial friendship of Great
Britain. But, since the young woman
cannot go as a private individual, the
President has concluded that it is best
she should not go at all. Her disap-
pointment win be keen, as will also be
that of her prospective hosts. Still
it is no doubt better that she should
not go under the circumstances.
Americans would not care to see the
daughter of their President figuring in
the role of a princess" in London.

THE OLD VIENNA MILL.

The old Vienna quartz mill of
Vienna, Idaho, of 20-stamp cap
acity, which cost over 500, 900
to build, and which has been
lying idle for the past 20 years,
we learn was purchased a short
time ago by the Valley Creek
Mining company, whose mines
are located at Stanley Basin, and
already work has commenced to
move the mill to the mines, and
1T is expected to have the mill
erected and in running order this
fall. The Valley Creek is very
promising mine. 1t is free gold
and has a big ledge carrying high
values. The principal owners
are Darlington and Price.

sEAFoAM DISTRICT.

Frank Burns returned Thurs
day evening from a four weeks
trip to the Seafoam mining dis
trict. This camp is located about
so miles east of Thunder Noun
tain. Mr.. Burns reports very
pleasant trip and is enthusiastic
over the future of this district.
There are some very promising
claims here" says Mr.. Burns,
'among them being the Grey
hound. Ike Pfost and |. y. Daily
also have some valuable proper
ties and are developing them.
There are about 500 people in the
district at the present time. A
town has been laid out at Trans
fer station and is building up
fast. I look to see the next min
ing excitement that occurs in
Idaho to be in this Seafoam dis
trict. One man whose name |
did not learn, claims to have
found the mother ledge that
feeds the placer mines on Loon
creek from which, 35 years ago,
so many large nuggets were
taken. He says the ledge is
about 80 feet in width. Many
people have since searched for
this ledge and if the man has
really found it, he certainly has
a bonanza. Assays made of diff
ferent ore in that region run all
the way from S. to 5000 a ton"
Mr.. Burns staked out some
claims for himself and expects tc
return to them soon to complete
the assessment work. The Loon
creek, of which Mr.. Burns speaks
will be remembered as the scene
of the Indian massacre 80 or Il
years ago, when in the height of
a placer mining excitement, th'
| Sheepeater Indians swoopeC
down on the camp and slayeC
the miners and burnt the village
A number of women went insane
. from the awful terror, and from
this fact the creek derives it
name.
Before returning home, Mr.
Burns went on up TO Altura
Lake on the Sawtooth range,
distance east of about 90 mile
from Seafoam. Here he found
number of prospectors and pleas
ure seekers camped. He report
the fish abundant and also fin
! hunting. Mr.. Burns brough
! home quite a number CT red trou
and has been treating his friend
to a portion.-Nampa Leader.

6IOud-BurSt

last Thursday a great amount
of damage was done by a cloud
burst, or rather three different
cloud bursts. At 10 o'clock am.
on Thursday, the 14th inst.
heavy clouds could be observed
lowering over the range of
mountains six miles east of
Challis-the range of mountains
which separate Round valley and
Pahsamaroi valley. The fash
of lightning was vivid and the
peal of thunder made the earth
fairly tremble. At or about the
hour of 10 o'clock in the forenoon
of this day a large river as it
were, was observed coming down
the steep mountain side into this
valley. From the terrific veloc-
ity of the water as it madly rush
ed down into the valley every
movable object was brought
with it with a mighty force, and
roar caused by the great torrent
of water could be heard for a
number of miles away.
This was not all, for at p. N.
on said day, and in the same
vicinity, but a mile or so further
south, two more clouds burst
with equal results on the same
mountain range, carrying with
them great damage of property.
The volume of water and mud
and rocks brought down by the
distinct torrent rivers was amaz-
ing, and as the great body OF
water put into Salmon river the
river raised one foot in conse
quence.
The first body of water caused
by the cloub- bursts struck Mr.
Jas. Fl. VanCanp's ranch, which
lies at the very foot the noun
tain range. Mr.. VanCamp in de
/ scribing the scene says the vol
. ume of water and mud was i'm
mense and did untold damage Il
his property. His garden wa
: ruined: crops of grain and ha.
badly damaged; fences torn dow
, and washed away; irrigatin:
/ bitches filed with mud and rock
, and the banks of the ditche
washed out, besides he lost 10
t chickens that were drowned
| Mrs. VanCamp also came yer
| near losing her life. She 60
r caught in the food and was bt
4 ing carried by the madly rushin
waters to an untimely deaf
e when rescued by her son.
e was an exciting time and peopl
: were rushing to the hills fc
K safety. At Mr.. VanCamp'
r his ranch was covered with froI
D four to six feet of water.
+ 1t is difficult even to place a
! estimate as to the damage dor
g to the ranches in this valley, fC
nearly all on the east side
q Salmon river were damage
n more or less, and especially Il
: crops. Among those to suff'
8 most were the ranches owned

Brief Biography OF Fusion Nominee Tor Ne
vada's Chief Executive.
Tor Me- Full Tickets In Many ~states-Terms OF Thirty
Senator's Expire.

John Sparks, fusion party candidate
for Governor, is a native of Texas and
when a youth of 20 was a member of a
ompany of troops formed to protect the
inhabitants from raids by Comanche In
dams and patrolled the frontier for 900
miles for that purpose. Later he was
commissioned as captain of a Wyoming
company for gallantry as an Indian fight
er.
He came to Nevada twenty-five years
ago where he has made his home, and is
one of the most prominent citizens of the
commonwealth of which he is one Of the
builders. He is a representative of Ne
vada's two principal notwithstanding
and cattle b~reeding-the Alamo ranch
near Reno having acquired celebrity as
the finest stock-breeding farm on the
Pacific slope. He also has valuable prop
oming.
The Reno Ledger has this to say of
his personality: John Sparks is a noble
hearted, broad-minded and magnanimous
gentleman. His purse is ever open to
the needy and afflicted, and his acts of
charity, some of which are on a surpris-
ingly large scale, would fill a book. 1t
is this trait, particularly, that has made
him so well beloved among the people
who know him so well-the people of
Washoe ounty Socially, John Sparks
Is hospitable to a magnificent degree.
AS to the integrity of John Sparks, 1t Is
beyond the shadow of a doubt. Honesty,
pure and simple, is the main spring of his
nature. Given this characteristic, togeth-
er with al exceptional executive ability,
and the people of Nevada have in the
person of John Sparks the material for
a Governor the like of which the State
has never possessed

DESERvESCOUNTY'S SUPPORT
Dirty Work Will Not Avail Republicans Against
Good Man.

The dirtiest and most contemplate af-
fair in connection with the present cam
paign is the fight which the Republicans
are making against Eugene Howell for
Secretary Of State. The fight has become
a purely personal one and the allegations
on which 1t is based AVE been found, on
investigation, to be utterly without justi-
ication In fact. Mr.. HowelI's opponents
ave claimed hat he is the enemy of la
Dor and some irresponsible persons have
issued a printed set of resolutions alleged
to have been passed by Washoe Typo
graphical Union No. 65, but which are
not endorsed by the union at large in
this State. AS a matter of fact this con-
temptible persecution was actuated solely
by the malice of personal enemies of Mr..
Howell, and that LIE attempt will meet
with the failure 1t deserves is certain.
The claim that Eugene Howell is the
enemy of the laboring man is absolutely
ridiculous, as he has been an extensive
employer in the capacity of a manager
of mines and has, in hat capacity, al
ways paid and the payment
of the highest rate of mining wages, as
is well known to those acquainted with
his business record. 1t is conceded by
all who have had to transact business
with his office during his incumbency
that he Is a most obliging as well as eff
ficient and painstaking official, and Hum
boldt county, whose delegates to the
State convention gave their votes unani-
mously for Mr.. Howells nomination,
should give him it's enthusiastic support
In this campaign as 1t has done hereto
fore, recognizing. as 1t must, his sterling
worth and excellent qualities as a man
and his admirable fitness for this impor-
tant office.
Mr.. Howell has issued a brief denial
OF the charges made against him, which
shows their transparency and utter lack
of truth or justice, and his friends, who
are many In this county. will show their
appreciation of him and their contempt
for the knocking methods of his oppon-
ents by giving him a gigantic majority
of votes on the 4th of November.
