TURNED TO OIL FIELD.
Gold Shale Lands May Be Yet Full of
Oil Wells

The inhabitants of the western Kansas
gold shale fields appear to be determined
to find something OF value underneath their
land Now il is oil they are after. The
following rather suspicious looking para
graph appears in the issue of the Repub
ican, of Hays City. Ellis county:
when Mr.. Barnes was alive he had
water. When they were down about 200
feet the men told him they had not found
water, but had struck oil. Mr.. Barnes
told them it water he wanted and
work on the well was stopped The new
owners of the ranch heard of this, and
went out last Friday to investigate. They
have concluded to sink hole at once,
and inside of thirty days promise to have
a drill at work. Experienced men will be
engaged They have abundant capital and
will not ask for outside help. They have
on their ranch, and find it very rich in
gold. They have found a process that
will separate the gold from the shale, and
are making arrangements to put up a 100
ton mill at once These men are not con-
nected with any of the other shale COM
panes and it will be good news to know
that some has confidence enough in
the wealth of the county to go after it,
No closer particulars are given in the
account. The exact location of the leg
endary oil discovery is not reported and
the whole story has the uncanny aspect of
having been written to bolster up con-
county If it develops that Mr. Barnes
actually did find oil. although he didn't t
know that he had found treasure, it will
be a much more valuable thing for
Ellis county than the frequent gold dis
cOverieS of the past.

STRIKERS OUT.
La Junta Machinists Will Not
Be Reinstated.

There are no new developments in re-
gard to the Santa Fe'S trouble with the
shopmen at La JEnta. The Santa Fe
has plenty of men at that point with
which to carry on the work. Some of
the men did not walk out and these few
are able to keep up the running repairs.
If more men are needed they can easily
be secured in the east and sent out
there The heaviest work, however, at
the La Junta shops is to be brought to
Topeka.
General Manager Nudge of the Santa
Fe. made a statement last night to the
effect that the men who struck Will not
be taken back. Fourth Vice President
Wilson of the International Order OF
Machinists, who has been in the city
for the last week or two for the purpose
of getting local Santa Fe machinists in
terested in a demand for higher wages,
is now in La Junta, but it is not thought
that anything that he Ean say or do
will cause the officials to weaken and
take the men back. 1t begins to look as
if the La Junta machinists who threw
down their tools and walked out just
because their pay checks were day
late, will not draw any more checks
from the Santa Fe.
General Manager Nudge left this
morning for a short business trip to
Kansas City and he will then leave for
a trip in the west. He will probably go
to La Junta and if he does there is no
doubt but while he is there the
trouble with the machinists will be set
tied one way or the other.

CHINA HAS PROMISED.
Russia Is Not Committed in
Opening Manchurian Ports.

Washington, July notwithstanding
the publication of dispatches from varl-
Gus foreign cities questioning the extent
of the promises made to the American
government by China and Russia re
specting Manchuria, the officials here
positively decline to add to or take one
word from the statement published from
Washington just before the departure of
Secretary Hay. to sre effect that salts
factory assurances fi-o been received
that two or more Manchurian ports
would be opened to the worlds trade 1t
is quite certain that China which is
here regarded as the sovereign power in
Manchuria, made these pledges and it is
equally certain that the United States
government fully intends that they
shall be kept. The details referred to in
the original statement as requiring ad-
justment are still unsettled but the state
department is patient, resting in full
confidence of the opening of the ports
required within a reasonable length OF
time. 1t is true as stated in the London
dispatches that Japan looks with sus-
picion upon the Russian pledges relative
to Manchuria and has intimated to the
state department that they are not sat
isfactory, but so far the department
sees no reason to accept that view.

MRS. EDDY ON THE POPE.
Head of Christian Science Paws
Tribute to the Dead PontiF

Baker Eddy, founder of the Christian
Science, today spoke as follows con-
corning the death of the pope:
The sad, sudden announcement of
the decease of Pope Leo XIII touches
the hearts and will move the pens of
millions The intellectual, moral and
religious energy of this pontiff have
moved the church of Rome for one
quarter of a century. The august ruler
OF 25O,0OO,000 human beings, has now
passed through the shadow of death
into the great forever. The court of the
vatican mourn him; his relatives shed
the unavailing tear he is the loved
and lost of many millions. I sympa-
thize with those who mourn: but re-
joice in knowing our dear God comforts
such with the blessed assurance that
life is not lost. its influence remains in
the minds of men and divine love holds
its substance safe in the certainty OF
immortality. In him was life, and the
life was the light of men, ,"
