THE COMSTOCK FOURTH
How the Old Lode Will Wake the
Echoes Next SATURDAY.

Next Saturday will witness such an
upheaval Of patriotism and enthusiasm
in Virginia City. such as has seldom
been witnessed even in this country
loving section of the world. There is
q rumOr also to the effect that con-
siderable conviviality will be mingled
with the brew.
The Carnival of the Comstock, which
begins tomorrow has awakened SO
much interest that old denizens of
the ledge will come from Butte City,
Seattle. San Francisco. Ogden and
Salt Lake and other points to take a
hand in the general solicitation which
will paint the eventful day .. bright
red vermillion from sunrise to sunset
and along until the next sun up. OK
: At least five thousand people will
gather at the foot of old Mount Dav.
idson and pay their respects to, the
old town, the old memories and the
old corners where the red wine flows.
There was a time. when, it was a
IEoud boast of the inhabitants of
the camp that no town in the confines
of Uncle Sans domain could cele-
brate the natal day of liberty with
more positive stree uosity than the
people who lived on. the ledge and
they will make that boast this week
or know tho rooSnn univ
,, The roar of the cannon will wake
the slumbering inhabitants at the
first blush of dawn and the sharp
shrill screams of the American Eagle
will answer it as it pulls the feathers
| out Of it's tail and scatters them along
c street as signal to the people that
the ball has opened.
At night the corruscating rocket will
chase the serpentine lines of parti-
colored fire along the azure canopy
and shower the town with gold
In the midst of this outpouring OF
patriotism the old Comstock poets
should not be forgotten.
| The Appeal is not advised of wha,
/ poem is to be read but suggests that
! the audience be given extracts from
! the old Comstock verse makers, Rol
len daggett, Joseph Goodman and
Charlie Goodwin. They are the very
/ best the Lode produced and in the ole
| days there was a healthy rivalry bet
! ween their respective adherents. Each
! had loyal following and there was
! many knock-down and drag-out when
=, the discussions over their respective
/ merits excited their various admirers
! Possibly out of respect to the deaG
/; some extract from Rollen Daggetts
works might be rendered. He wrote
many stirring and patriotic piece OF
verse as did Goodman and Goodwin
If a selection from either one of the
other two was read the papers of the
State should not get Goodmans name
mixed up with Goodwin as they always
do.
/ A good many Carsonites will go VI
tomorrow to see the carnival open ant
will come home Sunday night with
fearful heads on them

National irrigation Finds Stones in
the Way.

the Way.
WASHINGTON. June 27.-The geo
logical survey is keeping very quiet
over the progress made in carrying
out the terms q the national irriga-
ton bill. The, truth Of the matter is,
however, that that section Of the sur
vey presided over by F. H. Newell,
who has charge iof, 1.-THE reclamation
work. hassb been pushing things along
under the highest kind of pressure.
One Of the first steps to be taken was
the selection Of a large number of
men to carry on the work. Political
favoritism counted for nothing in get
ting these men. They are all to be spe-
cialists and their specialties range
from ditch-building to. lay. The sur;
vey found SO many legal questions
involved in deciding a. to locations
of enterprises and the construction of
works that the. department had imme-
diat4 need qf legal. council.
Over, 100 experta of various kinds
have been employed by Mr.. Newell to
carry out the Reclamation work. They
are nearly Al young men as the limi-
tations Id the matter Of salary are Sc
we're. but AN ihducement is offered in
possibilities of added reputation and
a chance for original work. Mr.. Newell
has retained control of the matter
even TO details as it was necessary for
purposes Of organization to, have but
one head and it was considered desir
able one man should know everything
that was going on that the work might
be planned7to better advantage. 9
.s4. Some Hinderances.
In consideration of several of the
enterprises there have been remark
able experiences. One of the five pro
jects selected by the Secretary of the
Interior has been hindered by a New
York syndicate. The syndicate paid
$4,000 for some land which the gov
eminent would have to have and on
being asked for their price set the
price at 100000 One being told that
their land would be condemned they
lowered the price to 100000 and are
now making the argument that at that
price they are being robbed of theil
property.
Another enterprise has been hin
dered by tangle of private claims
although this is now in a fair way te
be Strengthened out to the satisfaction
of the department. The trouble has
been that the proposed construction
of a government reservoir interfered
with private enterprise and the pro
moters of that enterprise have done
everything they could to SOW discord
among those whom the government
was proposing to benefit.
The mere construction of reser
voir or big canal is simple PROPOSE
ton, but to clear up the legal stu
alton and prevent future entangle
ments and lawsuits is no mean tasl
and while little is heard just at thi:
time of what is being done by the gov
eminent in this direction, nearly 2O(
men in office and field are now work
ing diligently, with anxiety as well al
enthusiasm, to prepare the way fo1
something which will make tangible
showing. The work now being done
will never be fully appreciated by thu
public, but it was necessary.-Sal1

Bound Over.

against Charley Blue. on preliminary
hearing was argued before Justice
Stone. VIM. Woodburn made a very
lucid argument for the release of the
defendent, while District Attorney
Roberts defended the cause of the
State. After the close Of his argument
the Justice held the defendent to
appear before the grand jury on the
charge of manslaughter and fixed bail
at $500.
it is not believed that the grand
jury will be called for matter of ten
days, as several OF the jurors are alb
sent from town and other court mat
tiers will call, Judge Murphy to Reno
for the greater part Of next week.
since District Attorney Roberts ar-
rived in town and took hold OF the
case. he has declined the assistance
of the otner attorneys, and several Of
fers were made. Mr.. Roberts figured
that the people elected him to defend
the county in such cases as the above,
and by his action Of yesterday he has
proven his worth. Everyone realizes
that he has an exceedingly hard case
to handle. as the sympathy Of the com.
munity is entirely with the man who ft
did the killing and all credit is due
Mr.. Roberts for his stand in the mat
ter and the able manner in which he
has handled the case to date.

NIU.CHUWANG IS RE-OCCUPIED.
Russia Makes Sudden and Surprising Move In
Manchura.

Pckln (By Cab!e) .-The Russians, 1t
is announced, have reoccupied Niu
Chwang with a large force and have also
put garrisons in the forts at the mouth
of the Lao river. They are further re-
ported to be making extensive warlike
preparations. $50. ..1:.,,
The news of Russian activity, which
comes from a most trustworthy source
at Niu Chwang, adds that OIL their re-
turn to Niu Chwang the Russian troops
brought with them several large guns.
A large force has been ordered to re-
OCCUPY n-Chwang-Tal.
The Russians have 1900 troops De,
tween the mouth of the Lao river and
Port Arthur.
The Russians are reported to be con-
structing forts on the hills near Lao
Yung. commanding the road between
there and the Yalu river. and they nave
arranged to have a large quantity OF
provisions delivered at Niu Chwang. -.
A dispatch from an official at Nit'
Chwang says indications point strongly
to these active preparations being IN
tended to guard against operations
against the Russians in Manchurla.

KILLED IN DEATH TRAP
Accident in a Tunnel on the Norfolk and
Western r. K.
CRUSHED UNDER BIG ROCK SLIDE.
Strata of Solid Rock Gives Way When Its
Foundations are Removed and Strikes a
Gang of Laborers Falrly-Besides the
Mae Killed Five Others Are Injured, Three
of Them Fatally.

Roanoke, Va. (SpeciaD.-Nine men
were killed and five others injured, three
Of them fatally, by slide OF rock in
the east end tunnel No. at Egglestou
Springs, Giles county, on the Nor
folk and Western Railroad.
Railroad contractors we're engaged IN
double tracking the tunnel at the point
named, and when the tunneling force
had removed the earth and stone for the
railroad tracks at the point where the
calamity occurred huoe slice OF SOLID
stone, gave way on the mountain SIDE
and came down at an angle OF about As
degrees, striking the gang OF laborers
at work fairly and crushing the lite out
of nine men. This strata Of solid rock
was connected only by clay seams, and
when the foundation was removed the
strata, some 50 feet long, fell without
warning, catching the men in a death
trap.
One man was in niche Of the tunnel
way and was only grazed on the lace
and head, escaping with slight injuries
He was removed without great difil-
Guilty. A second man, who stood on
the outer edge OF the slide, was only
SLIGHTLY hurt, but three others were
more unfortunate and we're injured so
badly that it is feared that they will die.
The bodies of the nre men, some OF
them are white, arc still under the
mountain slide.
A wrecking car and derrick were
taken ont from Radiord, but thus far
they have been OF 70 avail. There is
no likelihood that the bodies can be re-
covered soon, as the rock will have to
be dynamited and removed bit by bit.
This is considered dangerous, as the
length Of the strata cannot be ascer..
tanned, and there is imminent danger OF
a second crash as soon as the base IS
removed and consequent loss OF other
lives.
1t has been impossible thus far 10
secure the names OF the victims. lhey
are known only to the contractors, and
they can judge only by the missing
members OF the force. One thing that
is known is that it was a mixed gang,
composed both OF white and colored
laborers.
The accident did not delay traffic
materially on the main line. The trains
we're delayed, however, by another slide
in Big Tunnel, at Montgomery, 20 miles
cast OF Eggleston, and trains were held
at this slide over four hours.
The latest adviccs from an Official
source, so far as the Norfolk and
Western Railway is concerned, are to
the effect that only seven men were
killed outright, but well known con-
tractor coming to Roanoke from the
scene OF the accident gave the facts as
above.
