VIII Die In Bed.
The terrorists have recently renew
ed their warnings against Trepoff with
ominous persistence. The general is
constantly in receipt of letters signed
by the fighting organization. inform
ing him his hour has come. A remark
able feature of all communications is
the writer takes pains to- say that no
safeguards will avail to avert his i'm
pending doom. At the same time they
tell him he need not be afraid to go
abroad in the streets. They add:
Your sentence will be executed in
your own room. You will die in your
bed"
Take Pride In IL.
The terrorists seem TO take pride in
issuing a challenge involving demon
strations of their power and resources
To penetrate the armor of the police.
Moreover. Trepoff knows enough of the
resources and desperateness of the or
ganization TO firmly believe the terror
lists are able TO execute their threat.
He makes no concealment of the fact
he expects TO be killed. But his nerve
Is unshaken.
Takes Gloomy View.
Il will at least die at my post of
duty" he says.
Privately. Trepoff takes gloomy
view OF the future of the aTistocracy,
in which he believes. He is confident.
If given untrammeled power. he could
restore the old status in a year. but
the present vacillating policy he thinks
will end only in ruin. A representative
assembly. no matter what its initial
character may be. he is convinced will
soon be transformed into a constituent
assembly which will give death blow
to absolutism

SIDE LIGHTS ON THE CAMP
Something About Dogs Their Nomadic Habits and Their Pronenex
to Congregate in Mining Camps.
written for The News by w. P. De Wolff

There are unquestionably more dogs
in Constantinople than in Goldfeld,
but it is doubtful if they are treated
with greater consideration by the sub
jects of Abdul Hamid than they re-
ceive at the hands of the residents of
this newest and greatest of gold camps.
1t is an interesting fact and one which
has never been satisfactorily explained,
why these faithful companions Of man
are invariably largely in evidence in
every new mining camp, and that their
advent always follows closely in the
wake of the first rush to a new Ell
Dorado. Most of them are masterless
and like a foraging party live on the
country; and, judging from their gen
eral appearance Of sickness and pros
perity, mining camp grub agrees with
them. AS a camp grows older many
of these dogs disappear, presumably to
take up the prospector's restless trail
and to fraternize with the pioneers of
some other aspiring and all but mac
cessible mining community. They are
as migratory as the gold seeker whose
footsteps they follow, and their habits
are often unique. In the early days of
Victor there was one of this species,
a big black fellow, who had 4 strong
prediction toward parades. His spec
ial hobby was to attend military funer-
ais and whenever a cortege of that ma
ture passed through the STREETS of the
camp he was always conspicuously
present, occupying a place in line di-
rectly in the rear of the band. He
would stalk solemnly to the cemetery
to the measured notes of the derge and
gambol p~layfully on the return journey
to the merrier lay Of the musicians.
They are an arrant lot Of nomadic
CANNES, Of nondescript breed Inc un-
classified sizes and colors. Their most
pronounced character tic is a tenden-
cy to keep late hours and hang about
the saloons and gambling houses. The
larger and more boisterous the crowd,
the keener their enjoyment; and i'm

dence of the strength of his liEations
a member of this gang of Migrants is
sure to ingratiate himself with the
aforesaid gentleman and thereafter be-
m his boon companion, sticking to
his person with the tenacity Of a tin
horn gambler seeking the ham and
eggs stake. Together they steer an
erratic course from one saloon to an
other and at break of day wobble to
their resting places in a riotousIy hap
Ply frame of mind. They are blase old

work proceeded. The breast has evil
IDENTIFY just reached q rich ore shoot.
The ore is identical with that of the
rich streak in the Hobo shaft. Con
siderable of this ore has been saved,
and a platform is now being CON
structed to save the material. 1t is
the intention of the management to
enlarge the drift and put it in shape so
that the ore can be conveniently taken
out. The drift has shown values from
the start, assays of $25 having been
secured when work was first started.
The ledge opened is one of the many
parallel lodges on Bonanza mountain
that are now being 50 forcibly demon
strated. The ground joins the Tramp,
Hobo and Gibraltar. On the north
end of the claim, so feet of sinking and
rs feet of drifting nave been done, ex-
posing some good quartz ore. The
Denver Annex company is one of M.
M. Detch s promotions, Mr.. Detch be-
ing secretary of the company. The in
dications are that the Louisville tun-
mel has opened another Hobo, which is
today the talk of the camp.

The actual cutting tool of a diamond
drill is called the "bit'' or "crown-v
The black diamonds are set around
the periphery of the bit-altcrnating
on the outer and inner edges. Holes
are bored in the bit to receive the
stones which are held in place by caulk-
ing the metal of the bit closely around
them. Soft copper is sometimes used
to properly embed the diamond. In
the finished bits the stones project
from the bit both laterally and down
ward, thus making an annular cutting
which gives a solid undisturbed core.
The deepest anthracite mining shaft
in the world has just about been com
pleted in Brookside colliery, real Ire
mont, Pennsylvania. 1t has been sunk
more thar a third of mile, or to be ex-
act, 1850 feet. The shaft will be used
for both coal and water hosting and
inaugurates extensive plans which the
Philadelphia and Reading Coal and
Iron company has under way for deep
seated mining. This mine is the larg-
producer in the southern coal fields.
The new opening will add largely to
it's present big output.

NEvADA's MINERAL WEALTH.
Stories of the New Mining Districts
Read Like Romance.

The stories of the developments of
the new mining camps in Nevada read
like omanc although collateral evil
dence is abundant that it is all a reali-
.ty, says the Ogden Journal. Young as
the towns of Tonopah and Goldfeld
are they are assuming the proportions
and conditions OF long established com
munities, the erection of substantial
buildings of masonry furnishing proof
of the faith of the people in their per-
manency, and the richness and perpet-
uity of the productive mining proper
ties which have brought them into be-
ing and on which they are dependent.
Other mining districts have also peer
developed which give promise of yield
ing large mineral returns in the future.
The developments in the two chief
camps of the central part of the state
are stimulating search for mineral de-
posits in other sections which have
hitherto been neglected by the mining
prospeetor.
The state of Nevada is indeed grow
ing out of that condition which has
prompted eastern critics in particular
to revile it in the past as a pocket
borough politically, owing to the linn
tied number Of its inhabitants, and as
a sagtbruch vast because OF it's com
parative inferiority argricuiturally to
some other states. But the mineral dis
eoveries in Nevada are breaking down
the eastern sheer rapidly as TO it's po-
Ilitical status, and the completion Of
the federal government arid Eand re-
clamation scheme will help to lift it
to a higher plane ag~riculturally. A few
more discoveries like those of ToRopah
and G~oldfield, which have created com
munities with populations ranging be-
tween 5000 to 1000, will give a new turn
to statistics in Nevada, and there is
no good reason to doubt what they will
be made in good season. Nevada s min
eralized territory has barely been
scratched, except in spots, and yet it
is being recognized now by the world
as one of the richest known mining
fields awaiting exploitation.

They have many of the habits Of the
rounder and rake whose habits they
frequent, and are quite as ~unblushing
and open in the pursuance of their
pleasures. During the earlier hours of
evening they frequent the business
section, where they seem to absorb
information regarding strikes and
new camps which they treasure in
their memory for future consideration.
Later, as the notes Of the viol and
horn float upward from the tenderloin,

During the day they seek the mart of
trade and stretching at full length
across roadway and sidewalk sleep
peacefully and serenely while the hur-
ly burly of traffic passes them by on
either side. Each pedestrian walks
around or steps over their recumbent
forms with careful consideration; and
it is seldom that the hand or foot of
man is raised to give them pain.

relative position to a mining camp as
does the gamin to the streets of q
large city, and the secret of their ORR
gin is quite as obscure. Where they
come from nobody knows; whittier
they go nobody cares; but in the inter
