merous other claims in the camp and
Paradise is a good country to prospect,
as mineral can be found anywhere.
Kings River is another promising min
ing country and numerous claims have
been staked there. The Choate boys have
some good mines and the ore carries
high values in gold. The ore is worked at
the present time by arrastras and pans
out well.
Sadorus district, about twenty miles
east of Winnemucca, is another good
camp and some of the lodges show up
well. The Credit Mobilier has been work
ed for years and produced good ore. Fred
Wendell is developing some valuable
property there. He has been engaged in
running a cross-cut tunnl to tap a ledge
which is at least thirty feet wide on the
surface and shows considerable free gold.
There are a great number of claims
staked of in the district. The gulches
have been worked for a number of years
for placer and a large amount of gold
was taken out.
Gold and silver are not the only pro-
ducts in the mining line that are found
in the vicinity of Winnemucca Iron,
building granite, together with deposits
of onyx and marble. are found.

SAYS MINES ARE RICH.
Donnelly Mountain Claim Owner Describes
Situation at the Camp.

James Raser is an arrival from Raser
City, the scene of the famous Donnelly
mountain strike. When Mr.. Raser left
rate. There are about Is men at work
In the camp. Nearly all of them are
claim owners and are doing their ASSESS
ment work.
There are no deep shafts of tunnels in
the camp. No work of a permanent
character will be undertaken before
spring.
The assessment work has already
thrown a large amount of rich are in
sight. about 200 tons of $50 ore are sack
ed on the dumps. Some of the ore taken
out will run well into the thousands.
There are six lodges SO far discovered.
Some are two feet in width. All the led
ges carry pay ore. Every bit of ore ex-
tracted would pay well If it could be
worked on the ground. There is plenty
of water there for mill and fuel is not
far away.
Mr.. Raser says hat the rumor that
litigation would result If the locators
tried to sell their properties is all a mis-
take. Several transfers have already
taken place and the titles are all good.
1t has not yet been decided whether
or not a winter camp will be established.
At present all the miners are living in
tents. Mr.. Raser believes that Raser
City is in Washoe county, but it will re-
quire a survey to determine it's exact
location. Humboldt county is the near
est point to the camp, but there are no
stopping places IN the way. From
Amedee on the MOO there is a good
road with plenty of water and stopping
places along the way.

Cattle Awaiting Shipment

There are about 5000 head of cattle here
awaiting shipment, which cannot be
made until the Southern Pacific Com
pany furnishes the necessary cars. The
company is away behind in its orders for
stock cars, several hundred of which are
besides the $50 needed here. The side
tracks west of here are said to be crowd
ed with empties, but the company is
short on motive power to move them.

RELATIVES OF THE
 PRINCE LIVE HERE
MIR. FRED ALLEN AND MIR. JE- ROME ALLEN SAID TO BE DlS- TANT RELATIVE OF THE RoY- AL FAMILY.

While the eyes of the whole country, and the whole world in fact, is at pres- ent direct ed to America's royal guest Prince Henry of Prussia, it is of peculiar interest to Birmingham to know that two relatives of the Prince reside in this city MT. Fred Allen and MT. Jerome Allen, sons of Mrs. G. w. Allen of Att lanta.
 The grandfather of the Aliens, Freder- ick Wilhelm, came to America from Prus- sia early in the last century to escape military duty He often told his children that he was closely related to the Hohen- zollerns. and was a great admirer of Em- peror William I and always spoke of him as his cousin. It is said that two of MT. Fred and Jerome Aliens uncles died of the throat trouble which caused the early death of Frederick William. Their grandfather died of cancer of the breast, which is known to be hereditary In the Hohenzollern family. It Is said their uncle Mir Frederick Wilhelm of Colum- bus, Ga, resembles Prince Henry very much.
 The Aliens have many ancient and val uable heirlooms in their family, which have been handed down for generations.

OLD CURE FOR SMALLPOX.
Young Lady Loans the Age-HeraId an
 Old Clipping.

Miss Gertrude Woolley of this city prizes the following clipping from an old paper. For the benefit of those who may be so unfortunate as to be inflicted with smallpox she loans 1t to The Age Herald:
 "A celebrated Parisian physician has given the following prescription, which is said to be a splendid remedy for small pox. It is asserted that 1t will prevent or cure the smallpox. He says:
 '' When Jenner discovered cowpox in England the world of science hurled an avalanche of fame upon his head, but when the most scientific school of medi- lished this recipe as a panacea for small ~eox it passed unheeded. It is as unfail- inc as fate and conquers in every in stance. It is harmless when taken by a well person. It will also cure scarlet fever Here it is as I have used 1t to cure smallpox when learned physicians said the patient must die, 1t cured: Sul- phate of zinc. one grain; foxglove (digi- talis), one grain; half teaspoonful of sugar.: mix with two teaspoonsful of water: when thoroughly mixed add four ounces of water, Take spoonful every hour. Either disease will disappear in twelve hours. For child, smaller doses, according to age. If counties would com pei their physicians to use this, there would be no need of pest houses. If you value advice and experienced use this for that terrible disease. '

BIRMINGHAM TO HAVE
 STRONGEST PITCHERS
BY BOHEMIAN c. HuLeER.

As close as baseball results can be flg- ured on paper Birmingham will have tfe strongest pitching force in the Southern League when the call to play ball is given in April. Other teams may be able to deliver goods of a stronger texture in the infield, but when it comes to the twirling Haller has a selection that can play rings around anything that operated in this section when Sam Mills was mak- ing history.
 The magnitudinous stars which scintil- ated southward last year have all been enclrcled with a coil of ofrers that will capture most anything in the baseball line and the first big announcement of results is that Dusty Rhoades, Charley Franks head-liner, has signed Cincin- natl contract. Shields, his next best has been toying with a Baltimore contract and it is said to be a ten-to-one shot that he's a-goner. This tears a big hole in the Frankfurters' delivery department. and what Charley will do Is a hard prop osition. Everybody in the league loves Charley Frank and would like to see him right up among the top-notchers, but with all his baseball wiseology he will hardly duplicate Rhoades and Shields.
 Mike Finn has a death grip on Skopeo, and that famous southpaw will certainly wear another Little Rock uniform the coming season. As MT. Skopec is par ticular about dress, Finn Is having diff- culties finding something to Suit his com plexion. While Little Rock and Memphis are having these troubles Nashville is badly in the hole on pitchers, according to all reports, and Chattanooga, Atlanta and Shreveport do not appear to be in- vesting much box money. Alb Powell, however, is holding on to everything he thinks is good and it is said does noth- ing but jolly his players and look wise when the fans begin to talk Powell is

POSTAL CLERKS
 SEEK RELIEF
ASK SHORTER HOURS AND WANT TO BE PUT ON A FAIR BASIS IN REGARD TO PAY AND LINE PROMOTION.

Birmingham Branch No. 779, United Ma tional Association of Postoffice Clerks, held a brief session last night in the let ter carriers room in the government building The principle business trans acted was the election to membership of three applicants John Morton, Tate Smith and MT. Cain.
 The classification bill which the asso- citation Is trying to have passed at the present session of Congress, was discuss ed. Chairman William D. Gresham of the Fourth division in explaining the matter said:
 Since the postmaster general has is- sued an order prohibiting postal employees going to Washington to urge the passage of legislation affecting the service, the cause of the postal clerks has been taken up by business men in various parts of the country who recognize the hardships of the service and the uncertainty of promotion.
 The object sought by the postal clerks are just an actual instead of nominal S-hour day, and second, that the entire system of promotion, including advance
 
 $140O year, shall be under strict provision of the law.
 There Is no reason why the postal clerks, than whom there are no harder worked employees in the government ser vice, should not enjoy the full advantage of the S-hour working day to which the government is committed. As a mat ter of fact, they are forced to work Sun days, holidays and nights, or so long as there remains any mail to de distributed.
 There can be no doubt but that the service would gain in efficiency through the passage of the desired legislation, for men can do better and more work when they are not overworked and when inspired by the certainty that advance ment waits on fidelity and efficiency and not cn any mans favor.
 "Ths postofnce clerk receives less pay than any in this branch or the service. Here are some figures, the railway postal clerk receives only Ss15 and yet he is re- quired to work longer hours. Here is a part of his work; take, for instance, a clerk in the mailing department. He Is required to know every postofilce In his State, and portions of adjoining states and by which train to send the mail to reach It's destination the quickest, then the distributing clerk, carrier is required to know his route only, while the clerk must know them all, and to keep up with changing addl esse5
 ''So you see the clerks are entitled to consideration, and such privileges as are granted to other government branches, beth in Washington and out, hardly ad- roits of dispute, and the army of post office clerks united aud strengthened by the support of representatives In Con- gress ought to be able to bring about the object desii ed.

said to have @ positive oehef that NC" Orleans has the pennant cineheo ana the erection Of the pole Is only matter or time. He has practically the same team he closed the season with last year.
 Returning to Birmingham pitchers, study these four names; Wilhelm Ldpp, Smith and Campbell. Everybody In Bir- mingham knows Wilhelm and Lipp' and the fans are the best judges. They put up the money and when the management can please them what more can De askeo' Haller has not stopped on these two but has gone into the tall timber and comes out with great southpaw and right handler who last year made the Tar heels wonder Campbell is the left handler and he comes from Pennsylvania, where he did some great work around Pittsburg. Haller assures the public that he Is the best .left-hand pitcher he ever saw. with the possible exception or Ruoe Waddell. He says he can ray II over many of the cracks of the big league, and feels sure 'e will be the star of the South. It is further said that Haller is not given to talking through his sorn- brero.
 Frank Smith is right ht-hander and from the way Southern managers chased around after him last year, he evidently can make good in any company. George Leidy, who knows baseball payers from Maine to Key West, says Smith Is daisy" and will soon rank right along with Matthewson. With this aggregation of twirlers all Birmingham needs to win is batting. Haller thinks his men have the connecting art near to perfection, but on that question the fans have to be shown. The Birmingham infield is up to the average. but baseball writers seem to think Nashville Little Rock and New Orleans will have some edge on the Coal Barons in that respect

 The escape was made through the a4 end of the building. which is constructed of common boards nailed on by small nails. The rear wall Is also used as portion of small storehouse. This slants upward from the sides. The "doll house. is, however a little higher in the center than the store room. so boards have been nailed up to fill the gap. Simmons merely pulled two of these off with his hands, they being held on with two small nails. He was then in the store house. He pushed one of the blanks of the store house loose and jumped to the ground.
 Night Warden McCallum heard the noise and ran inside the jail to see what was the matter. The prisoners then in- formed him of the escape. but Simmons was too far gone to hope of catching him. Both the stevedores inside the jail were busy attending to a drunken man who was raising a rough house.
