NELSON WINS
 FROM BRITT

San Francisco, Sept. Battling Nelson knocked out Jimmy Brittin the eighteenth round last Saturday night at Colma. The fight was one of the fastest seen here in years and was very even until the seventeenth round, when the pace showed plainly on Britt. In the eighteenth Nelson had il all his own way. He battered Britt all over the ring until he landed a fearful right swing on the jaw which put the native son down for the count.
 An immense crowd saw the fight, which was the best on the coast in a long time. Both men were at weight and in the pink of condition. The bat. tie was fierce from the call of time and both men were bleeding at the end of the first round. For long time it seemed to be aryBody's game. Nelson forced the fight but Britt protected himself by clever blocking and fast footwork and iabbed the Dane iucess- intly. Nelson's blows however, had the greater force and when he landed fairly the effect was palpable.
 Both men began to show wcarineSS before the tenth round but always came up for the next with renewed yigor un- til the fifteenth, when it became evident that Britt could not keep up much longer He tried desperately to land a knockout punch but his blows had no apparent effect on the Dane.

First Stamp MiII Ia Alaska

The first stamp mill built in the Juneau district, Alaska, was erected in Silver Bow Basin, in 1883. Shortly after the construction of the Silver Bow mill. John Treadwell built five stamp testing mill on the Paris creek lode, Douglas Island. During the win ter of 1883 and 1881, he organized the Treadwell Gold Mining Company.

During 1888 there were three stamp mills built in Silver Bow Basin. and each mill operated ten stamps.

GREAT CINNIBAR MINE.
Vast Deposit of Quicksilver Dis
 covered in Oregon

Quicksilver has established q post office and built a town in Oregon. Black Butte is the name of the town and postofiice, and Black Butte from which the name comes, k mountain of mercury. It is claimed by the own CTS that this mountain has the largest exposed body of quicksilver ore in the world. A vein 400 feet wide has been opened for more than a mile along the mountain and to depth of 1000 feet below the crest. More than three miles of tunnels, raises, etc., have Teen made and everywhere the rich cinna- bar orc, from which quicksilver is talk en, appears in great quantities.
 In tho Oregon mining section at the Lewis and Clark Exposition the visitor may sec in operation miniature quicksilver distilling plant, modelled after the one at Black Butte. The lit tie engine runs all day. and attracts much attentiom Near by jS the con- denser, and under the spout an iron bucket of quicksilver. showing just how the moving metal runs out of the condenser after being liberated from the ore through scientific process.
 The process ordinarily is called dis tillation, First the ore k crushed and then it is dumped into furndces, where it is roasted at fierce heat of 1900 de- grees Fahrenh cit, When the orc reaches temperature of 600 degrees, the quicksilver begins to pass off iR the form of vapor. The mercury va por is passed into large chambers built of wood or brick, called condansers. These are cooled by water jackets and other devices, and in them the vapor soon changes into metallic form, the quicksilver being preciritated in fine globules on the walls and floors, The giobules collect and run out in troughs, ready to bc marketed, Quicksilver iS put up for shipping in aasks of wrought iron, weighing fourteen pounds each and holding 76l pounds of the mefal.

DAZFD BY DEATH
 or COMP ANTON
Fred Smith Drowned from Raft in MatanuSka and I. P. MurdOCk
 Reaches Knik Nearly Starved.

Frightened by the drowning of his companion, Fred Smith, who fell from
 a raft in the rapids of the upper Mat
 anH2ka, Y. P. Murdock abandoned the
 rah and plunged through the woods on
 the left bank of the river where no
 trail had ever been bazed Until he
 found a boat at the mouth ofthe Chick aloon, which he rode down to tie mouth
 of the river at Knik Arm, going eight days without food except a few salmon
 which he speared.
 On the right bank of the river, a fur
 long from who're Murdock dragged
 himself through underbrush, in places
 almost impenetrable, scratching his
 face and hands and tearing his clothes,
 was an open trail over which the min
 ITS carry large loads of supplies. With
 'n flow steps of the spot where he
 loosencd the boat which brought him
 down the river was tent filled with provisions. Both boat and tent belong
 ed to Frank Watson.
 When Nurdock arrived at Knik he
 was in state bordering on collapse. He had evidently been so desperately frightened by the death of his compau- ion that he had scarcely been able to exercise his senses.
 From the mouth of the Chickaloon to ] Kuik Arm is ffty-fve miles. Murdock claims to have spent five days on this
 trip He stopped at the mouth otGran- ! te creek, where he saw a trail half a mile into the woods Had he gone a little farther Ne would have foundmen and food He went back to his boat and continued his journey down the river. He is still at Knik Arm resting up from his adventure.
 Murdock and Smith set out from . Valdez over the glacier in August. They went over the hills to the head 1 of the MatanusEa, and passing over the Matanuska glacier mushed down the stream to the luouth of Caribou creek, ! There they made raft on which they
 travelled down the stream about to 1 Hicks creek, The raft got into a whirl-
 pool and as the men lost control it struck bank and overturned, Their blankets and some otherpackages were tied Go the raft, but their provisions had been piled loosely upon it and were ! lost Murdock got back on the raft and succeeded to fastening it Go the shore, but while he was doing 90 Smith
 was carriedaway down the stream and undoubtedly drowned. Mwdock then abandoned the raft and dstarted out afoot 1 through the woods,
 Among Smiths packages was found 1 a memorandum book which he had uS- ! ed as diary It showed that he left ! Goldfelds, Nevada last March, had travelled through New Mexico and Southern California then came north
 to Aberdeen, Washington, and reached Seattle July $. He sailed north on the Sants Ana July l6 and reached Valdez ! July 25. He worked there a few weeks and then set out with Murdock.
 Smith claimed to be we'll acquainted with the country and at Knik the de- scriptiop Murdock gave of him was said
 to tally with that of Fred Smith who eftthere about three years ago. Others said that he could not be the same man.

WHAT The AMENDMENT
HAS Done FOR VIRGINIA.
Interview With Elder z. v. White OF The
o. S. Baptist Church. One or The
Most Prominent Citizens OF Virginia.

The lricDmico Nems says: Col. T.. V.
White, President Of the Peoples Nation-
al Bank of Leesburg, Va, the largest
and prominent Elder of the o. S. Bap-
fist Church, who was in Salisbury re-
Gently attending the Baptist Association
speaking of the workings of the Consti-
tutional Amendment in Virginia. said:
THE Poe Amendment in your State.
is, believe, copied from the Virginia
Constitutional Amendment, and should
receive the support of the white people
of your State. without regard to party.
II it should work with you as it has in
our State. and there is no reason why it
should not. both parties will alike pro-
claim its benefits. II has been but a
short time since heard Judge Lewis,
the Republican candidate for Governor
of Virginia boast with unusual vehe-
mence that his party was no longer a
black mans but white mans party. 1t
has in our State dignified the Republican
party not only by eliminating the negro
vote, but also putting out of business
the crafty white politician who lived
upon the ignoronce Of the negro. The
disfranchisement of the negro has
brought about not only better feeling
between the two parties. but has led to
the discussion of such matters as per-
tains to the best interests of our State.
1.-THE negroes themselves are vastly
better off and much benefited. They
are better citizens, better laborers, more
earnestly at work and vastly more
honest. Instead of giving two or three
months each year to politics. they are
attending more strictly to their various
employments and the cunning white
politicians let them alone These were
the fellows who taught the negro dis
honesty. led him into crime and debauch-
cry and made bad citizen of him. 1t is
now all changed and | believe your State
will follow our example with the pass
age of the Amendment, and which ever
party tn en- wins, with the negro vote
eliminated, you can rest assurd that it
will be white rule and in most cases
good government"
The prominence of Elder White in the
Old School Baptist Church of this coun-
try lends peculiar weight to his words,
and we feel sure his language will have
much effect upon the votes of the white
people of all parties on next Tuesday.
