THE RUSH BEGUN
TO new ELD0RADO
Army Of Prospeetors Make
Frantic Dash Into Rich
Utah Gold Field.

Salt Lake City, Utah, May 16.-An
army of $500 prospectors from almost
evey state in the union began the rush
into Thunder mountain, the new
Eldorado of fabulous richness. Not
since the memorable stampede to the
California gold fields in 1S49 has the
frenzied search for the yellow metal
reached the present stage, nor have
such alluring prospects been held out
since those exciting days.
Camped along the trail for miles
lying in tents, with hunks burrowed
deep into the snow, the prospectors
have braved the intense cold, only
waiting word from the mountain that
the SHOW had melted and the trails
were clear, before beginning the ter
rible trip up the mountain 70 miles
through unexpiored country to the
gold fields that promise to be tho
richest in the world. One hundred
square miles of ground full of gold
and silver Is there undeveloped. 1t is
race to capture the most valuable
claims.

BUILDING THAT
HAS A HISTORY.
The jenkins Residence on West
Franklin to Be Sold at
Auction To. Day.

When the auctioneer's hammer falls
this afternoon on the jenkins property
at the northeast corner of Main and
Adams Streets one of the old landmarks
OF the West END viii pass from the
ownership Of the family whose home It
has been since 1850. It was the home Of
Mrs. William a. Jenkins, the founder
and first president of the Retreat for the
Sick, and in its capacious parlors was
launched the scheme OF the noble char
fty. During the lifetime of Mr. jenkins
all Of the actors of the old drama and
such stars Of tho operate stage as Car
oline Ritchings, Edwin Hofr, y emmy Blow
and others were entertained there. It
was always the home Of Edwin Booth,
Lawrence Barrett and Jonn E. Owens
when they came here for engagements
at the old Richmond Theatre. Mr.. Jen-
kIns was a great admirer Of the drama
and the opera, and he befriended many
artists in their. early struggles who af-
forward became famous.
When the home was built It was the
only one between the old Fair Grounos
(Monroe Parlz) and Fifth and Franklin
Streets, and then in 1850 bore the relative
position to the city that Lee District
does now. When the house was nearly
completed there was a strike among tne
men employed in its erection, and in a
fit Of spit the uncompleted building was
burned by them. It was at once rebuilt,
but not as originally designed.
During the war the silver of many Of
the distinguished families here was con-
cealed in secret cellar still! extant in the
basement. At the evacuation the house
was not burned, as it was too far dis
tant from the business section.
In construction the building is typical
of the old stlye of architecture. The
walls are very thick and the rooms big
and lit by many windows. In the cellar
is an old-fashioned furnace. large enough
to heat the City Hall and as commodi-
Gus as an ordinary bed chamber. It is
curio, and is said to be the only one
in Richmond.

lot in the valley Of Shockoe creek be-,
tween the Seaboard and Chesapeake and
Ohio tracks.
It is understood that the Continental
favors this lot to some extent, as it is
also pleased with the lot offered by MIR.
Bowe, but as it wants some concessions
from the city regarding the site pro-
posed by Mr.. Bowe, so In reference to the
other features of Shcckoe creek do not
please. In brief, the Continental COM
pany wants tho bottom and sides Of this
historic stream cemente ed. The estimated
cost is $1So09. Mr.. Williams went to Mr.,
Decatur Axtell yesterday to see il the
Chesapeake and Ohio Company would
unite with the Seaboard In having this
work done, so that the factory would be
located near their tracks. Mr.. Axtell re-
ferred him to Mr. Stevens, the president.
1T is stated that the Continental wishes
to erect a factory to cost $2O0, 900, and in
the mammoth building to give employ
ment to $50 peoplc.

Referring to the project Of making the
third centennial of the landing of Cap
tain John Smith by the erection OF
statue, a London correspondent says rhat
the remains Of the great co1onist lie In
the old and picturesque Church OF st.
Sepulchre, which stands in Holborn via
duct, where it has Newgate prison for
a neighbor. The Englishman whose life
Pocahontas is said to have saved died
in London in 1881, and was buried in ST.
Sepulchre's because he happened to be
visiting at the house of friend who
lived in the parish. The church was
partly destroyed by the great fire that
swept away most of the London of 1865
and rendered 100000 people homeless. The
church was one boundary Of the cont1a-
grafton and its walls were left standing
together with the stone adorned with
the heads Of three negroes, which
marked the adventuresome captains last
resting place The brass tablet to his
memory was destroyed, but fortunately
records of it had been left which made
it possible to duplicate it in the restored
St Sepulchre's.
