Back From the Coast.

L. L. Bluementhal and wife re-
turned Thursday morning from two
months visit to Portland and San
Francisco. A week was spent in
the latter city, and while there Mr.
Blumenthal frequently visited the
Tonopah stock board. The deals
now being made on the exchange are
mostly on a time basis-'buyer, thir
ty days" and "seller, ninety days. "
In the latter case when the time for
delivery comes, it is more than likely
that big things will be ADDING. But
little money, he says, is changing

PRISONERS ESCAPE
FROM COUNTY JAIL
Make Their Way to Freedom by Cutting
Through the Walls.

Word was received from Belmont
Thursday night that -- Welsh
and Johnson Smith, two prisoners
confined in the county jail at Belmont
made their escape from that institu.
ton on Wednesday night by cutting
through the outer brick wall of that
building. The mems enjoyment OF
liberty, however, was brief, as on the
following day they were caught in
Jefferson canyon, fifteen miles from
Belmont, by ex.Sheriff Tom Logan
and John Mccain.
The particulars of the escape, as
we learn them from parties in from
Belmont, are that on Wednesday
evening, between 6 and o'clock, the
five or six prisoners confined in the
jail were all lettering around the cor
rider, when "Old Tex" began digging
at the bricks in the wall with knife,
and with Welsh's assistance he soon
cut out an eighteen inch hole through
which he and Welsh crawleo to lib.
erty. All of the prisoners had
chance to go, but with the exception
of those named, they did not avail
themselves of the opportunity. Dep.
uty Sheriff Hollis. who is in charge
of the jail, was at supper at the time,
and when he returned the men had
been gone about an hour. Parties
were Immediately organized to pur-
sue the escapes with the result above
men toned.
Constable Hickey and Deputy Sher-
if Francis were notified of the escape
and Thursday night they started for
Belmont.
Smith, who is known as cold
Tex, was confined in the jail on a
charge of horse stealing, and Welsh
was charged with Jail breaking. Two
months ago he was under arrest in
Tonopah on a minor charge and while
awaiting examination broke out Of
the jail, being subsequently caught at
Silver Peak. He was then taken to
Belmont, and with Johnson, was
awaiting the action of the grand jury
when the escape was made.

RAILROAD RUMORS
CONTINUE RIFE
But the Builders Have Not Yet Taken
the Public Into Their Confidence.

All kinds OF railroad rumors have
been in circulation for the past few
days, but on being chased down they
all went into air. Favorable tele-
grams, however, have been received
from the east, and one received last
Saturday by Mark Averill, stated
that engineers were about to leave
Philadelphia for Sodaville to begin
active work. This telegram is prob
ably the most reliable that has been
received and it agrees in most details
with the statement given out by 7.
L. Oddie, that Paul Eigelhart, an
engineer employed by the Philadel-
phia Office of the Tonopah Mining
company had been dispatched to So
daville and would arrive there to-
night. r. w. Fairbanks, of the home
Office, went out on the stage last
night and will meet Mr.. Eigelhart at
Sodaville, and together they will
return to Tonopah over the route
already surveyed On Mr.. Eigel-
harris arrival here he will probably
await further instructions from Phil
adelphia.
John W. Brock, president of the
Tonopah company, it is expected,
will leave Philadelphia on the 18th
(to-morrow) for Tonopah. He will
go direct to San Francisco, where, il
is presumed, he will close up some
contracts for railroad material, and
then come to Tonopah.
One Of the most persistent of the
rumors that have been circulated re-
gardlng the railroad is one stating
that several carloads of material had
arrived at Sodaville and were billed
for the Tonopah road. Telephone in
quiry to Sodaville, however, devel-
oped the fact that there was only one
car of ties there, and they were being
used for reconstruction purposes on
the c. and c. road.

MAJORITY OF TWO.
Conservatives Control Provincial
LEGISLATURE.

Vancouver, B. c.. Oct. 12.-The off,
cial recount in the Fernis district
finally determined the last constituency
in doubt for the Legislature of British
Columbia. Ross. Conservative, has
been declared elected by five votes. A
number of ballots had been thrown
out and the Liberals claimed that these
should properly be counted for Smith,
Liberal. The recount, however, con-
frmed Ross in his seat by majority
of seven.
By the settling of this disputed seat
the government will have control OF the
legislature. The parties now stand IN
the house: Conservatives, %; Liberals,
II; Socialists, 2; Labor, l.. The Con-
sentative government thus has a ma
jority of two over all others. 1t is re-
ported that the Socialists will act with
the government.

MUCH LAND RECLAIMED
Result of Clearing Out of the Col
vile River.

Colville, Oct. 12.-The logging crews
operating along the Colville river be-
tween this city and Meyers Falls have
found it necessary in their work to
clear the driftwood from the stream,
and in some places to cut down the
banks and dredse the bottom of the
river in order to facilitate rafting of
logs for the mills. The result is that
the river now drains several thousand
acres of the valley lands that have for
years been under water the greater part
of the season and much of it thus rem
dered worthless.
Drainage districts have been formed,
and the citizens have even gone so far
as to petition the Legislature for ap-
preparations to be used in dredging the
river. Some of the farms that have
been in the most part submerged and
productive only of tules are now in the
class of the best meadow land in the
county. The opening of the river for
logging purposes has solved the prob
lem at this place, and the same class
of work will be encouraged further up
the valley.

Hot Springs allowed Out"

The Cimarron salt fields in Indian

which forms a pool about 20 By 90
feet A story of this spring is told by
cattle men who camp near by. One
night last summer a thunderstorm was
raking over the plain, when a bolt OF
lightning descended. Instantly great
volume of fame shot up thousand
feet into the sky from the spring, and
continued to blaze for twenty minutes.
The cowboy claims that the hot springs
'blowed out" and that the location
changed several rods.

PROPOSES TO DIVIDE KOREA

had no right to interfere in the ques-
ton of the evacuation of Manchuria,
which solely concerned Russia and
China. The note further proposed the
partition of Korea and suggested that
Japan should take the southern half
and Russia the northern provinces.
The note was discussed by a council of
ministers October and Marquis YAM
agata, commander-in-chief of the army,
had consultations with the ministers
OF war and marine. The japanese gov
eminent, Ids the correspondent, then
sent a reply to Baron Won Rosen reject

RAISING REINDEER.
reports Show Government Project
Is q Success

Is q Success.
washington Oct. 12.-Fjne nroyress
mas been made in the propagation of
domestic reindeer in Alaska during the
last year. DR.. Sheldon Jackson, who
was the government agent for education
In Alaska and has had the reindeer
project in charge since it's inception.
mas received reports from all but one
OF the reindeer stations this year. He
mas not yet heard from Point Barrow,
where considerable herd is situated,
this place being the farthest north of
any white settlement in Alaska.
The reports show that 900 reindeer
lawns were born at the several stations
during the last season. The number
born at Point Barrow is estimated at
~, the number last year having been
145.
On June 30 last, accoi ding to the re-
ports lately received here, the domes-
tic reindeer in Alaska aggregated 6 100.
This is regarded as fine showing, and
the feeling of the interior department
officials is that the experiment of intro
ducing domestic reindeer into Alaska,
chiefly for the benefit of the natives,
has been fully vindicated.
No reindeer were brought from Sibe-
ria this year. The government made a
contract last winter with the North
western Commercial Company to bring
over large number of deer, but the
representatives of the company found
that the government of Russia had de-
cided not to allow any more deer to be
exported from Siberia at present. The
Russian authorities said they feared
the natives OF Siberia would be de-
prived of their means of subsistence.
DR.. Jackson says this shows how much
the Russian government thinks of the
domestic reindeer as staple resource
of the navtie inhabitants.
The largest herd of reindeer in Alas
ka is now at Cape Prince of Wales,
at the entrance from Boring Sea to the
Arctic ocean. There are l 525 deer at
Point Barrow, in charge of Eskim O
herders. The next largest herd is at
Unalaskilk, where there are 1924 deer.
