OPlON OF AN EXPERT.
G. w. Clinton PeEates His Views.

Mr.. George w. Clinton, the minin,,
engineer of Reno. arrived in town
Tuesday evening, and at once bust I'd
himself investigating the outlook for
permanent oil deposit in this Sec
ton. After thoroughly going over the
ground looking over the formatio Of
the hills to the east and west of the
valley, Mr.. Clinton expressed himself
, as follows:
mo doubt Nevada has at last good
prospects Of obtaining a good flow of
Oil. I am most certain that the base
present being pumped from the Dou-
glass well. The sand that is being en-
, cCuntered at present is river channel
sand The oil contained in it is from a
much greater depth and it is possible
that considerable distance will be At
tanned before the regular oil sand and
ultimately the realization of an oil
we'll will be at hand. However, there
is little doubt in my mind as to the f.
nal outcome of this district That oil
exists there is no question and l have
seen lesser prospects turn out to be big
producers in other localities.
! The percolation of the sand enocun.
tered at forty feet in the Douglass well
has been going on for centuries. The
oil has found its way up through seams
tposibly very smalD, until finally CON-
ing in contact with the loose river sand
it has had an opportunity to deposit
percolating through the strata for an
untold distance.
Il will return to Reno and make an
extensive investigation of the samples
Il have taken. To say the least they
look good to me. I have secured land
toward the hills, which believe to be
trouble that am almost sure the peo-
pie in the river bottom will have with
an enormous flow of water.
'Mr. D. c. Hall. of Salt Lake City,
an oil man Of considerable experience
and myself, visited the Douglass we'll
recently, and to say the least we were
we'll pleased. The people of this see-
,tion will no doubt be disappointed,
when the workingmen go through the
present Oil strata, but they will have
no cause to be discouraged. 1t takes
some means and considerable perse-
verance to make an oil well, but l feel
as though l am in on the ground floor
in the right locality for oil.
While there has been considerable
rush, it has but commenced. Why,
there will be oil men here from every
quarter before long and l venture 20
predict that there will be much outside
capital invested in Churchill county
Allow me to add that l consider
the people of this country. indeed fOr1
tunate in having sue ha paper as the
Standard in their midst l am of the
opinion that it is doing yeoman service
for this sections future welfare.''-

SUFFER TERRIBLE LOSS.
Japs Pay Dearly for Victory at Kin
Chou

SAN FRANCISCO, May 27.-Re-
ports confirming the capture of the
town of Kin Chou by the Japanese
have been received. but along with It
is recorded the advent of the severest
battle yet fought. The Russians held
ground above the city and in order
to dislodge them, the Japanese were
compelled to force the attack, which
has resulted in the loss of 10000 men.
1t is chronicled as the bloodiest battle
OF the war. The loss of the Russians has
not been reported, but is supposed that
they suffered less on account of their
position.
Since the taking of Kin Chou, there
has been no fighting, as both armies
are resting to recruit after the severe
drubbirg that the battle engaged. 1t
is sad that Russians drew back in
good order and that they are prepared
for another great fight before the
gates of Dalny.
The correspondent of the Central
News at Toxic cables that the Japa.
nese attacked Nan Quan Ling, on the
narrowest part of the Kwan Tung Pc.
| ninsula, yesterday. and drove back
the Russians by main force. The attack
on Kin Chau, the dispatch adds, was
begun at dawn yesterday. and at noon
Kin Chan was in the hands Of the
Japanese, who occupied the castle
The fighting continued during the
afternoon, and was Of the most desper.
ate character 1t is believed the cas-.
ualties were heavy.

TRUckEE CLAIM MORE VICTIMS
One Man Drowned and Several More
on the List Not Accounted For.

OF the LISt NOT accounted For.
ADOTH, New, May 26.-The releu,-
less waters Of the raging Truckee have
caused another tragedy, which has al
ready resulted in the drowning of one
and as far as can be learned in the
death Of five other human beings. This
morning at 1880 o'clock the men work
ing on the great government canal
at Warren's camp No. 4, started 20
cross the footbridge spanning the True
kee at that point. About forty Of them
had gained the center of bridge, which
was unsafe except for a small number,
when the bridge suddenly sagged and
hit the water, which stormed against
it. The bridge then turned and all Of
the helpless men were thrown into the
turbulent waters Scores of other la
borers were waiting on the south bank
of the river waiting to cross and wit
messed the arcident
They were Mortified for a moment
but suddenly realizing the dangerous
position Of their comrades, they went
bravely to the rescue. Ropes were OBJ
taind and boards were thrown to the
men who were struggling and fighting
desperately for life.
John Overdorf, one of the labore1s
showed as the hero Of the occasion,
and not, needing the cries of his friends
he plunged into the raging torrent ami
by great nerve and GOODNESS succeed
ed in bringing John Sagalo and John
Dennis in safety to the shore.
Others who were closer to the bank
Of the river wnere the force Of the
water could not hit them, succeeded
in gaining place Of safety. But many
in the center Of the rushing stream
were saved only by the brave work
Of their friends on the shore. A. Klaph
a young man from California, was
washed into the middle Of the river
at first, and despite the heroic efforts
Of several stout swimmers, he could not
be reached. He fought desperately for
a few minutes, but the strength Of
the water was too great, and at last
he gave a despairing look to his con-.
panions on the shore and was swal.
lowed up in the dark waters. !
As soon as the accident occurred
and while hundreds we're helping ir
the work Of rescue, scores of others
rushed down the stream and now tbs
river is being patrolled on both sides
by anxious men looking for the bod
les of their missing friends.
A large number Of the victims are
still missing, whose names are not
known but the names Of those report
ed to be missing up to date are Johr
Hamilton, Blackie Woodliff, George
Answorth, Albert Hanson, Frank Ray
mods.
OF those who were saved from thu
terrible death, the following names
have been obtained:
John Dennis, Hughey Breckenbridg'
O. Benson, George Bran, frank Ken
nedy, Philip Segala, l.. Hanson and y
cameron. The latter is a resident G

HOW MORGAN BOUGHT PEARL
Sent Two Checks and Jewellers Took
h The Smaller.

The reason that J. Piermont Nor

to excellent authority, was not that
his business acunen had been dulled
and needed sharpening with vaca-

Fifth avenue jewelry firm. Ihe
story came out yesterday.
The jewelry firm not long ago, re-
ceived a very fine pearl. So striking
ly handsome was the jewel, and so
certain were the firms experts that
st would appeal with most effect to
connoisseur. that it was determn-
ed to offer it at private sale to some
one who not only knew what was what
but who was able to CRAFTY his tastes
: without regard to cost.
The question was Thoroughly
threshed over in the private ottlce OF
the firm Finally one of the part
ners said: Lets send this down to
Mr. Morgan and let him have hrst
say on it."
The idea met with unanimous ap-
Droval, and stenographer was IN
structed to write 70 Mr.. Morgan that
i he wanted the pearl, which was set
in q scarfpin, he could have 1t to1
$1,000. In the went the pearl olo

cier was asked to return it by the
messenger intrusted with it.
In due time the pearl. accompanied
! by the 1irm's letter. reached Mr.. Nor
J gan. The jewel was carefully wrap
ped in tissue paper and inclosed in a
leather-covered box. Mr. Morgan
read the firms communication with
interest, and opened the box contain
ing the pearl. He was delighted
with it. and. after closely inspecting
it, rewrapped it in the tissue paper
and thrust it into his trousers pock-
| ct.
At this point High Finance took
the center OF the stage Calling his
cashier, Mr.. Morgan instructed him
to draw two checks to the firm of
jewelers. for $4,000 and the other
for $1,000.
The 5000 check Mr.. Morgan
placed in the box that had contained
the pearl He had the package care
fully. tied and sealed with wax The
$1,000 check he inclosed in a letter
to the jewelers., in which he wrote
that if the firm was willing to accept
that amount for the pearl the box
might be returned to him at once and
the transaction closed. In the
event, however, that the firm was un-
willing to accept less than $1,000 for
the pin, the $4,000 check was to be
returned without delay.
The preliminaries executed. Mr..
Morgan. with the pearl safe in his
pocket sent the messenger back,
bearing his letter and the box. In
less than an hour the messenger re-
turned. fetching the box in which
was the $1,000 check. He announc-
ed that the jewelers. had decided to
accept the $4,000 offer. Mr.. Morgan
received the information complacent-
ly. When the messenger had taken
his departure Mr.. Morgan chuckled.
Just before he sailed for the other
side Mr.. Morgan met one of the
members OF the jewelry firm at a
dinner and related to him the story
OF the two checks. The jeweler
forthwith averred that his firm had
lost money by the transaction.
If you were losing money!" ask
ed Mr.. Morgan, why didn't you keep
my $1,000 check"
The jeweler is said to have bowed
low.
Il can understand now, Mr.. Nor
gan" he declared, chow it is that
you have earned your place as the
leading hnancier of the age"
