THE BREYFOCLE NINE.
Col. Frank v. Drake Confident Il
Will Be Re-Discovered.

Some months ago The News published
an atcount Of the discovery made in the
early sixties by Brey fogle in the desert
country Of southwestern Nevada.
1t is reported that a company of ex-
perienced prospectors is organizing for
another effort to find the lost mine, and
interest is again being aroused as to
what the results may be.
Many persons consider the story OF
B~reyfogle's awful sufferings on his soil.
tary journey overland from Los Angeles,
Cal, to Austin, New, and the marvel.
I Gsnes of his find while starving on the
desert, as mythical and unworthy as a
basis for search for the two gold capped
mounds described by him.
Men who knew Breyfogle believed his
story, because he was habitually truth
full, and because he brought nuggets OF
fine gold and gold studded quartz into
Smoky Valley, where he was found hall
demented, ragged, starved and dying
from want of water. Furthermore,
thee could have been no cause to in
duce he little Dutchman to render false
statements about the matter.
In an interview with the News, Col.
Frank V. Drake, at present associated
with Hon. Pierce Evans, formerly dis
trict attorney of Washoe county, ex-
presses the belief that Breyfogle did in
fact find the little gold-capped noun
tains substantially as related by him on
his arrival in Austin. Breyfogle was an
awful wreck physically and mentally on
reaching Austin, but he was positive of
the fact Of his find and he had gold with
him. He was eve after anxious to get
back into the desert to search for the
treasure, and headed two or three expe-
ditions for the purpose.
On one of these expeditions he found
the spring where he had built a wall
for protection from the Indians (who
had previously killed his partner but
he failed to find the low gold-capped
hills or mounds. Perhaps drifting sand
and volcanic dust may have covered
them temporarily-or %Breyfogle's weak
ened mind may have distorted his OBJ
~servation so much as to make ~recollec-
ton OF localities unreliable.
Col. Drake, then known as plain
Frank Drake, was a boy OF Is years and
working, chiefly on the mining depart
ment of the Reese River Reveille at
Austin when Breyfogle, tattered and
half crazed, ended his fearful journey in
that town. Mr.. Drake saw Breyfogle
and his gold specimens and heard his
story repeatedly. 1t was n fearful in
detail.
The Austin Reveille Of that time, if
the files are still extant, will disclose
the story as given at that time, and Col.
Drake believes in the truth of the tale.
He thinks that the recent developments
in this country, through which the
sturdy little Dutchman toiled on that
long and dreadful journey, is still
another proof of his truthfulness, and OF
the fact that he found two small hills
capped with free gold and quartz mug

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.
Comments on the Local Situation by
Kenneth Donnellan q Co.

There was great excitement in Gold
field this week over two strikes almost
within the town limits and some high
assays were secured from the rock. At
this writing these strikes have not been
proven up, but the finding of the ore in
such unlikely-looking places calls re-
newed attention to the wonderful posi-
bilities Of this district. Many of the
prospects are liable to- make a rich strike
any day and the value OF the stock
double or triple in a day.
Sandstone still occupies the center of
the stage and in spite OF the fact that
many have taken advantage of its rapid
rise to take profits, the price has held
firm and we look Tor a much greater adj
vance. Samples from shipment which
will go out from the Loftus-Davis- Mayne
lease about the Goth, show that the high
est grade ore is worth about 81 900 per
ton, the average of that now reached be-
ing $4,000 per ton. 1t is not expected
that the entire shipment will maintain
this high average. but if it does, it will
be most valuable shipment, with one
exception, ever sent out of camp.
The Combination has paid another
dividend of SAC, 900, or 121. per cent on
its outstanding capital. The last bal
ance sheet oi this company shows a
profit of 1920. 900 for the wear over and
above all mining and operating expenses,
in addition to having about $35O,000
worth Of mill ore on the dump.
Goldfield Mining has made a rapid
advance during the week, due to buying
orders from those who best know the
value of the property. There are many
other stock which will score even greater
advances as soon as the investing public
fully realize the low prices at which
Goldtield stocks are selling.

vLADlvosToHs FLEET

One more report current here
is that the japanese commander
in-chief detached some of his
most effective vessels and started
them northward to destroy the
Siberian fleet from Vladivostok.
If this is so, the Russian Admiral
has probably decided to take ad-
vantage of the weakened state of
the japanese squadron and en-
deavor to strike blow that will
change the balance of naval
power in Corean waters.

The Latest
RUSSIAN FLEET TO SAIL

The Russian fleet sailed today
from Port Arthur under sealed
orders. The receipt of this mes
sage created a profound sensation
here, as it is generally conceded:
the Russian commanders have
found that they were in grave
danger from their own defenses,
and unable. moreover, to CON-
bat the attacks of the japanese
torpedo-boat destroyers, which,
drawing in close to shore, under
cover of the night, continued to
harass the Russian fleet.

Guilty Officer Shot !

We learn from official sources
the news OF the dramatic sequel
to the Russian disaster at Port
Arthur February 9. After the
attack of the japanese, Viceroy
AlexieH summoned before him
Russian officers whose negligence
was the main cause of defeat.
After cross-examining them as to
their conduct, Admiral Alexief
was convinced a lieutenant among
them was the most culpably guilty.
It is alleged he drew his revolver
and shot the young officer dead
before his comrades.
The lieutenant had taken a
party of officers ashore on a tor
pelo boat, whereas he should have

FEARS ABOUT CHINA !

The great danger at this time
is the attitude of China. If, as is
far from impossible, there should
be another outbreak of anti-for-
eign feeling and the powers may
again have to intervene, this
might lead to complications of a
most serious nature, the outcome
of which no man can foresee.

Russia will now try to strike a
telling blow at the japanese with
the remnant of her Port Arthur
The objective point is
clearly the Elliott Island group,
where the japanese squadron is
said to be gathering in force.
The Russians will attack without
delay, as nothing can be gained
by waiting longer.

At the meeting of the new Engine Company on
Monday evening some of the most urgent business
was transacted, and the meeting adjourned until
more committees report. The GAzETTE'S sug-
gestion districting the city adopted though
in so doing trifing overlooked. This
was in the numbering of the districts. When the
fire District one the bell was to strike two.
When in District two the bell strikes three. This
is like the Farmers clock: when the hands stood
at half past eleven 1t struck three then he knew it
was twenty minutes to seven. The common sense
proposition is to omit number District one, and
make them 2, 3, and S. Then when the FIRE is
in Dist No. 4 it strikes 4, when in S it strikes 81
and no mistake is possible. This was so evidently
an oversight that the committee was consulted, and
agreed unanimously to correct it at District
one will be omitted. The four Districts will be
numbered 2, 3, q, and 5, and the taps will cores
pond with the number of the districts

The inner sanctuaries of oldfashioned Democ-
racy have been invaded. In the sanctum sancto-
rum of Tammany Hall the Hearst boom sits like
Poe's raven, never fitting and positively refuses
to get out into the Nights Plutonian Shore. Will
lam Hearst has come to stay, and conservative
Democrats must take their medicine like little men.
The New York Tribune gives list of half doz-
states that sure for him, and mentions other
states where the Hearst boom is ''recieved seri-
ously." Mr.. Watterson OF the Courier Journal
says "that wholly uutried in political affairs,
unframed in Office, personally unknown to any
constituency and in any public arena, should APP
pear as candidate for President of the United
States seems anomalous to the point of absuydity,
and it would easy enough to dismiss that aspira-
ton of Mr.. Hearst's as of piece with the fantas-
tic ebultions OF the late George Francis Train or
even the unsexed whimsies of Victoria Woodruff
of other days. But those who make hight Of hiri1
ignore the power of audacity and enterprise work
ing with unlimited means. Mr.. Hearst, at least,
is in dead earnest" Boston Democrats of promi-
nence in the party councils intimate plainly that
Olney will have to surrender his claim in favor ofl
Mr.. Hearst. Albany, New York, Democrats hint
at a decided weakening of the position Of Judge
Parker, while Judge Geo. Gray's own state of Del
aware is conceded to Mr.. Hearst by even the most
ultra champions of conservative Democracy. Tru-
ly Willie is in it, and the Oregonans recent state
ment that "Hearst gives up'' not founded On
fact, but the surmse of some person interested
where ''the wish was father to the thought. Go
On, Willie, we admire your gall.

Havana Jan. 13.-The House disposed of the
tariff question to-day by passing bill au-

his judgment, not TO exceed 80 per cent more
than the present rates. 1t is believed that the
Senate will approve this bill.
The House in secret session also considered
the Senate's proposition for paying the revolu-
tionary bonds and practically decided not to ap-
prove II unless the Senate should approve the
proposition of the House to sell public lands at

RUSSIA'S TURN TOsREPLY.
Japan's Response Made-No Time
Limit Set for 4ns7Cer.

London. JAM 13.-A dispatch from Toxic to
Reuters Telegram Company says that Japan's
answer 10 the last Russian note was handed this
afternoon to Baron de Rosen. the Russian Minis
ter. and that negotiations will be continued
without any time limit being setifor their ter
mination.
1t is stated in Toxic that Japan has never
asked for the evacuation OF Manchuria but
frankly recognizes Russia's special interests
there and her right to protect them. Japan only
demanded the realization OF Russia's voluntary
pledges respecting China's territorial integrity
in Manchuria and the freedom of residential
rights and international trade there.
Another dispatch from Toxic says the min
listers who attended the recent conferences for
the consideration of the reply TO the Russian
note assert that the attitude, Japan has taken
is remarkably conciliatory.'
The Foreign Oflce states that 1t has not re-
ceived the slightest intimation regarding Japan's
course in connection with the last Russian note.
The Japanese Minister. Baron Hayashi: Am
bassador Choate. and Count BernstorY. the first
secretary OF the German Embassy. were among
the callers at Lord Lansdowne's reception to-
day.
