 The remains of Leonard Eineker, a prospector, were found Saturday evening, six miles north of Reno, in cliff of rocks. The top of his head was rushed in, and the skull was badly fractured.

Most Powerful Chain

The Standard Chain Company has completed at it's works in Lebanon, Pa., the longest and most powerful chain ever produced. Duplicates are to be made, two for the Eastern ship building company at New London, Ct. They will be used on two great vessels to ply between San Francisco and the Orient. The completed chain is 300 fathoms.
 The chain was subjected to the strain of ,000-pound testing machine. The tests were made in the presence of w. Gordon Minchin of London, sur veyor of British Lloyds register. Ex- perts throughout the country and in Europe were waiting for the result of the test. It had been expected that the big chains would have to be secured from the British producers. The big chain is what is known as cable chain 3.3-36 stud link.

Lumber Traffic in the Southwest

The Times says: Every working day there is lumber enough passing over the San Pedro wharves to build of one- inch stuff an eigth-foot sidewalk from that port to Los Angeles. Just one of some of the cargoes that are coming to the harbor town would, if brought to Los Angeles, make one-inch floor ing the full width of Main street from First street to Jefferson street.
 The lumber that came though San Pedro last year would, if cut into one- inch stuff, furnish sufficient material for building with side extending along Main street from First street to Ninth street, a distance of mile. The material would be enough to make the building mile square, mile and two-tifths in height, and with a flat roof to cover the whole struc- ture

A Woman's Head

The postoffice department at Wash ington has under consideration the question of placing on one of the post age stamps of the new issue the head of some woman who is connected with the history of the country. No par ticular person has been decided on, although there is no doubt that Martha Washington will be the woman so honored.

Communications have passed be- tween President Steyn and the Trans vaal mission at Kroonstad, but noth- ing is yet known of the result. The majority of the military men and civilians expect more from the con- tinual pressure of the troops than from negotiations. It is pointed out that once before when hard pressed the Trans vaalers showed desire for peace, but that was promptly oyerridden by President Steyn. Nothing in the pres

KILLED BY TORRENT
The Sad Fate of a Distinguished Min
 ing Engineer

Col. T. B. Lundlum, well known in California, was killed Friday at Tellu- ride, Colo, by water from Hydraulic giant, which became manageable. The stream. ten inches in diameter, with head of $50 feet, struck him with terrific force, hurling the body several hundred feet. It was found practically lifeless, floating in the water.
 The operator, Peter Epswich, was struck by the revolving giant, but was not seriously hurt.
 w. w. Dill, the foreman, hearing Col. Lundlum's warning cry, saved himself by jumping behind the tool house, which the water struck with frightful force. Col T. B. Lundlum was one of the most distinguished hy- draulic engineers in the United States. He had thirty years experience in the largest hydraulic mines in California. He was gentleman of rare qualities of mind and character and possessed the unbounded respect and confidence of all who knew him.
 When the civil war broke out he was already engaged in his profession in California and while mere boy in years was elected colonel of the regi- ment that was then and there raised to reinforce the Union army in its great struggle against the South.
 Col. Lundlum was about 60 years of age and leaves a wife and daughter.

 Acting President Schalburger has opened negotiations with President Steyn, who has been located with Dearey and Kemp, but the where- abouts of the party has not yet been ascertained. Dewet has been located near Boschof.

It is said that congress will not be asked for an appropriation to defray the expenses of the United States special embassy to the coronation of King Edward. These ex xpenses will be defrayed by the civilians of the party out of their own pockets, while the army and navy attaches will be ordered to London in the course of duty, and thus will have to depend upon their ordinary mileage.

HISTORICAL SECRET REVEALED
Interesting Story As Told at a Paris
 Banouet

An interesting historical revelation has been made by Count de Keratry, former prefect of police, at banquet given by the Aero club in honor of the thirteen surviving aeronauts who left Paris during the siege of that city in 1870-71. The count, who descended at Prillon, near Bar Le Due, department of the Mouse, after perilous journey, said he was intrusted by the national defense government with a mission to go to Madrid and persuade Marshal Prim to proclaim republic in Spain.
 Keratry had in the balloon 60, ,000, ,000 francs in treasury bonds, which de- tachment of Prussian Uhlans nearly captured. The money was intended to equip and pay an army corps of 50,00O men which Spain was to place at Frances disposition. Marshal Prim refused to undertake the task, although Senor Castelar, and other Spanish re- publicans supported the proposition. Marshal Prim was assassinated three months afterward and his murderer was never discovered.
