is safe to predict that the better class of daily
newspapers and their readers may come to mu-
tual understanding that less quantity and better
quality would be mutually advantageous. The
Saturday Review once called Macaulay the father
of picturesque reporters, and Dickens has often
been called their prince. No doubt these are am
bilious models, but the press that sent MacGahan
to European war and Harding Davis and Bige-

AN ATROCIOUS CRIME.

RAWLINS, Wyo., April 21.-One of
the most atrocious crimes ever COM
mitted in this section occurred tonight
at SIS O'Clock, when two men were
shot. one killed almost instantly and
the other dying in thirty minutes.
Frank Keefe, a groceryman, was the
man who committed the deed. and
his victims were Thomas King, who
received a wound through the heart,
which caused almost instant death,
and the other City Marshal John Bax-
ter, who was shot through the bowels,
the bullet entirely penetrating the
body. Baxter died shortly before Io
o'clock.

RICH STRIKE AT STATELlNE
Eight housand-DOllars Ore
Said to Have Been Found

Last week G. A. Rice, who has been
prospecting for some time on Rice
mountain, made a very rich strike
on the Rocky Mountain claim. A
vein has been uncovered about four
feet wide, carrying fair values and a
streak of spar runs along the vein
lousy with wire gold. An assay
showed $4,000. says the Oracle of State
line. The strike is a very important
one, bearing out the theories of many
that there is a rich ledge on Rice
mountain. Some very rich float has
been found around the hill. 1t is
said that at one time an old pros
pector made a business OF gathering
up pieces of rich float and transport
ing it on a burro to Phoebe. and max
ing big money at the business. Later
a piece of float was found on the Side
winder, which lies on the west side
Of the hill, showing s32 900 per ton.
Al different times very rich pieces
have been picked up. Prospectors
have tried in vain to discover the
ledge from which the rich ore comes
and a great deal of work has been done
at different places in the hope that the
vein would be cut. If Mr.. Rice has
succeeded in opening it up he is in
deed to be congratulated.
Another important feature about the
discovery is that the gold is found in
spar, sometimes out of the regular
course, in fact, though there are big
lodges of spar, but little attention has
been paid to them. But over at Deer
Lodge and Fay the veins are full of
spar. and there the rich ore that has
made that country famous is invaribly
found in the spar.
The Rice brothers own a group OF
eight claims on the mountain and have
shown up a number of good veins on
the properties. The Jumbo mine has
produced some very rich ore, but moth
-
ing like this discovery.-Salt Lake

THE GOLCONDA SMELTER
Furnaces Will Start Up, With
Changes at Adelaide

Tuesdays Salt Lake Tribune has
the following: While the bins are full
of ore at its smelter in Golconda the
order to begin the active reduction
of ore from its various mines will not
be posted by the Glasgow & Western
Exploration company, according to ad-
vices from the West until changes
now being made at the Adelaide mill
have been completed. OF the mines 1t
is said by disinterested persons that
they have never been capable of SO
great a volume of ore, and that the
operations of the plant will be without
interruption after the next start ap-
pears quite positive. Manager Stall
mann and Superintendent Farren are
now at the property in Nevada, and
before their return all plants will have
been started up at full capacity.

TREATIES

No Hitch in Negotiations For

DETAILS BEING DISCUSSED

Other Late News

HAVANA, April 21.-The CORES
pondent of the Associated Press is au-
thoritatively informed that there is
no hitch in the negotiations for the
final treaties between the United
States and Cuba, the only difficulties
thus far being on the subject of details
covering the requirement of private
properties for the purpose of the ma
val stations. The Cuban government
prefers to purchase these lands and
lease the whole, together with the gov
ernment lands required, to the United
States for a nominal consideration.
There appears to be some natural
questions about the extent to which
the United States will compensate
Cuba for the purchases and leases,
but no serious differences has arisen,
on these subjects.
The final negotiations are now en-
| bodied in three treaties-one for carry
| ing out the details of the arrange
ments for the occupancy of the naval
/ stations, in accordance with the Roose-
velt-Palma agreement; another cover
( ing the sovereignty over the Isle OF
Pines, and the third Incorporating
the Platt amendment provisions into
perpetual treaty.
