GREATEST PLACER FIELD
EVER LOCATED.

TOPEKA, Kans., Dec. 3.--W. j,
Black, general passenger agent Of the
Santa Fe, has received message
from the agent at Rincon, N. Nj. ad-
vising that the recent gold strikes on
the west side Of the Caballo mount.
aims are even richer than indicated by
first reports. The gold fields run from
the banks Of the Rio Grande back to
the mountains, making 1t the greatest
placer field ever located. A stage line
has been started and plies between
Rincon and the gold fields. Grocery
and Quitting stores have started up
on the fields and the crowds OF gold
seekers pouring in are being well ta-
ken care OF.
As the Santa Fe agent made an In
spection Of the locality, his report IS
based on his personal knowledge Of
existing conditions, Il Is anticipated
the crowds will be greatly increased
as soon as the existence of these vir.
gin fields Of gold become better
known.

tion today, and, contrary to expec-
tation, Dowies trade checks were
taken instead Of money at the gen

the store, many who had exhausted
their money being in extreme need
of food Dowie issued orders to ex-
clude from Zion all who were rot
of the faith or United States officials.
The order reads in part, we will bow
TO the government alone,
Federal Custodian Redieke said TO-
day that his inspection OF Dowie's
books led him to believe that Dowie
was better off financially than any
bankrupt they had ever known. The
receivers are at a loss to understand
where he can get money to pay the
workmen employed In the factories.
D0vie. however, declares his people
win work for nnthing provided they
are furnished with food. 1t is said
the supply houses are demanding that
cash accompany orders from Zion
City. and the receivers fear that when
the weeks supply Of food is exhaust
ed they will have trouble in getting
more.
Federal Judge Kohlsaat has appoint
ed Dowie as temporary mnager Of the
Zion City industries. Dowie will be
agent for the receivers.
