Where Is Andrews?

Some days ago a man by the
name of Andrews came to this Sec
lion with the intention of buying
horses, or so he stated, says the
Carson Appeal. Since he left this
section several farmers are on his
trail. It is claimed that he has
bought number of horses on credit
and that they in turn had been sold
for cash, and this together with M.
Andrews has disappeared. The
last known of Andrews he was in
Reno in the society of number OF
people who were endeavoring to
help him get rid of his cash.

Under a Heavy Guard.

Under a heavy guard sixty tons
of some OF the richest ore vet taken
out of Nevada arrived in Reno from
Goldfield Thursday evening says
the Reno Journal.
It is from the Florence lease held
by Wingfeld & Hennessy at Gold
field. The shipment was made
under the utmost secrecy and it was
not until after the rock arrived
safely in Reno that the fact was
made public.
It is not known how much the
ore goes to the ton, but suffice to
say that in the celebration at Tono-
pah this week wagon load of it
was hauled through the streets and
its value was conservatively placed
at $4,000.
''This is only small portion of
what we are going to turn out at
Goldfeld,' said one Of the guards
last evening. "Wait until we get
our forces organized so that we can
ship rock out without danger and
we will show you that Goldheld is
not only one of the greatest mining
camps in Nevada, but the richest
camp in the world"
The sixty tons of ore the gentle
men were in charge of is consigned
to the smelters of Salt Lake City,
so it is said, but the movements oil
the parties in charge are so secre-
tive that it is hard to determine in
which direction the Shipments con-
signed.

HERE IS THE LATEST.
A Snake Story From the Winnie.

now going the ROUNDS, and the
Silver State hoists this one on a
suffering public:
One of the strangest and most
weird stories of modern times was
given to the writer.
But truth is stranger than fc-
ton"
Early on Sunday morning, July
oath, L. P. Helmer, a well known
mining man, was brought to Win.
nemucca from the Auburn mine,
which is located about three miles
from Dun Glenn, for medical treat.
men,.
The injured man was taken to
the Winnemucca Hotel and DR..
Giroux hastily summoned.
The news soon spread that the
man had met with horrible acct
dent and was at death S doc. Some
said that he was victim of a cave
in Others had it that he had fal.
len into den of rattlesnakes, while
another party was equally positive
that the accident was caused by
large botlier rolling down upon
him while at work.
When the Silver State represen-
tative called upon him the true
facts, which very few men have
passed through, were given.
Mr.. Helmer stated that having
an option on the Auburn mine, he
was doing some prospecting in a
cut at the mouth of the tunnel. He
was working On ledge which gave
good promise.
While chiseling out some rock he
noticed some loose gravel corning
down, but paid little attention to it
at the time.
He kept at his work until about
Q clock, when he was startled by
a huge mass of dirt coming down
directly upon him. He was about
to leap to one side when he was
struck on the head by a large rock,
which knocked him down.
Before he could extricate himself
a large boulder rolled down upon
his left leg, together with the
gravel, and he was caught like
rat in trap.
Being large and powerful man,
and being possessed of unusual grit
and presence of mind, he set about
to free himself. His entire left
side, including his arm and leg,
were hemmed in. He proceeded
with his right hand to dig away
the debris from his shoulder and
arm. After working for some time
he succeeded III getting the arm
free, and the next move was to get
the boulder from off his leg, which
he knew was broken.
BY superhuman strength he fin
ally succeeded in getting the bould'
or off. but he could not move
muscle of the limb.
Then it was that he commenced
to get faint from the loss of blood.
He soon discovered that his boot
was full Of blood, and he could feel
it trucking down his leg.
He knew to give up then meant
sure death, and procuring jack
knife from his pocket he exerted
his remaining strength in cutting
open his trousers and boots.
After accomplishing this he
dragged himself away about ten
feet to where his canteen was lying.
He stripped the covering from
the canteen., and procuring two
small sticks he manufactured a
wlndlass Upon which to rest his leg.
No sooner had he gone through
this trying ordeal than he tainted.

weather which the Russians only found
endurable in furs and numerous wraps.
1.-THE only trouble I had with them
was at the end OF our tour in Russia,
when they were anxious 10 go home TO

Liberty in Russia.
you may gather some idea OF the
liberty of the subject in Russia from. an
incident which occurred at this time in
the theater at Kief. One evening som,
official arrangements displeased the pee
pie and a manifestation of popular feel
ing took place in the gallery, just as
it might in London. Now. as the occu-
pants of these seats paid US about three
rubles for them, it viii be understood
that they were by no means OF the low
est classes of people.
Let British galleryites and first-night
ers consider what happened and BE-

Immediately sent soldiers. who mace

were all locked up in the town jail.
Although the novelty OF our perform
ance never failed to draw good houses
the Russians always affected to think
very little of Japanese talent. The gov

TAKING A JAPANESE THEATRICAL TROUPE THROUGH RUSSIA

At any rate, at that very moment had
in my company young japanese who
had Joined US at Budapest. He was no
actor. nor did 1 understand his eager
ness 10 accompany US. However, he al
ways seemed TO have plenty OF money,
and lately I have discovered him to be
the son Of a distinguished admiral in the
japanese navy. Who else there may
have been lying perdu in my company I
cannot tell, but that nothing escaped
their observation is quite certain.
Russians Subdued Demeanor.
They noticed. for one thing. that,
whereas in Germany, where we also per-
formed, the soldiers were always being
drilled or exercised, in Russia you rarely
saw anything of the kind, although we
were in many garrison towns. Like a
free people. the Japanese also did not
fail TO notice and remark upon the gen
orally subdued demeanor Of the people
under the petty and tyrannical routine
in every walk of life, to which we, too
had TO conform.
For instance, the instant necessity of
removing our hats whenever we found
ourselves in any building whatsoever
which a Gar might have sanctified by
meath some archway through which the
imperial being had driven, very nearly
got US into several rows.
