Arrived Here Last Night.

Clad in the garments of a typical Ameri-
can business man, with the headgear of his
native land, Ell Hadji Abdullahi Pasha gov
ernor of the province of Harar In Abyssinia
arrived in Washington last night and went
Immediately to the New Willard Hotel
where he was assigned a suite of rooms on
the second floor. He was accompanied to
Washington by Messrs. r. NJ. Jiriesatti and
Sortie Torjian of Philadelphia, formerly res
idents of his native land
Ell Hadji arrived in the United States sew
eral weeks ago and has devoted his time to
the study of conditions IN this country as
typifed in the cities Of New York and Phil
adelphia. He came here from the latter
city, and the length of his stay in Wash
ington has not been determined.
reporter for The Star called on Ell Hadji
at the New Willard this morning and had
quite an amusing experience in trying to
reach him. The dfminutve page of about
took the reporters card and hastened to To-
cate Ell Hadj He went to the room on
the second floor which had been assigned to
the visitor. and, upon knocking, received
no response. The page waited for q few
moments and again knocked. This time the
pasha himself came to the door, but as he
cannot speak the English language, he
could not understand what the page wanted,

In few minutes the page returned to the
waiting reporter and announced, Mr..
Bosnia is not in. / knocked on his door and
big colored man opened it, but he Jab-
bered so could not understand him." The
reporter recognized the fact that Ell Ha6ji
was in and FASTENED to have the page escort
him up there. He had a similar reception.
Later, through an interpreter, Ell Hadji,
declined to be interviewed at this time.
Intimate Friend of the Negus.
Ell Hadji Abdullahi Pasha, governor OF
the province of Harar. in Abyssinia is an
intimate friend of Menelek. In addition
to being governor of Harar, which COM
prises about one-third of the territory
ruled over by Menelek. Ell Hadj is chief
of all the Mohammedans in Abyssinia
and a general in Meneieks army
1t is said that he brings from Menelek
letter to the President of the United
States.
When seen after his arrival In New York
he laughed and made a lot of gestures
but he couldn't or would not make his
mission clear He said he came TO see

to the Abyssian. monarch, is the greatest
of living men
When he landed at New York Ell HadJ

Nature of Basha's Mission.

The nature of the Bashas mission was
explained in detail to the President through
the interpreter, and the President showed
the liveliest interest in Its success. Ell
Hadjie has already visited France and Eng
land but regards America as the most de-
srable field for cultivation from CONNER
cial point of view. Looking to the United
States, a country without any possible sin
lister political designs upon Abysinnia, the
emperor of that country feels disposed to
favor American investors in the exploitation
of his empire. Therefore, the Basha stated
that he had with him q number of con-
cessions of more or less value for the de-
velopment of the material and Industrial
resources of his country which he was pre-
pared to place in capable American hands
The President told his visitor that he
wished him success, and turning to Mai.
Carson, Of whom he had spoken in compli-
mentary terms to the Basha instructed him
to do everything in his power to bring the
minister in close touch with the proper COM
mercial people IN this country to further
the purposes of his mission.

Visit to Constantinople.

Through a fellow traveller the pasha in
formed the reporters that on his way
here he had stopped for three weeks in
Constantinople, where he was received by
the sultan.
II am the only black Mohammedan," he
said. who has ever been received by the
Sultan. While l was in Constantinople l
had the great honor of kneeling any pray
ing with the great sultan, who presented
to me 5000 pounds sterling to distribute
among the Mohammedans of my own
country From Constantinople l went to
Berlin, thence to Paris and London, and
next to Liverpool, where I boarded the
steamship for the great country on this
side of the Atlantic"
''IIow many wives have your" some
one asked.

the reply to zone"
How many servants have your was
None" he replied, but have 1900
slaves"
'He means servants" interrupted Mr..
Ellis. ''for there are no slaves in Abys-
sinia now
Pleased With High Buildings.
While in New York city the pasha was
much impressed with the tall buildings, their
roofs presenting to his Imagination extreme
" advantageous places for the practice of
deyotions. When he was informed how
high the Park Row building was he turned
to his interpreter and remarked that the
building was as big as all the structures in
Harar
"I must be called before breakfast In the
morning" he said. $50 that can proceed to
the top of this magnificent structure and
pray"
In the Plaza the pasha insisted on leaving
his carriage. Then he Frustrated himself be-
tore the Sherman statue and prayed.
When he returned to the hotel the ma Sha.

He had discarded his European clothes for
Abyssinian garb. The pasta said he was
willing. as far as possible. to try to tell
them something about himself.

pref, not even the Armenian merchant and
the President was obliged to defer for the
moment reading the message. Then the
Basha presented in behalf of the Emperor
Menelik three elephant tusks, one being a
gigantic specimen nine feet long and of
great rarity and value AS his personal
offering the Basha gave the President the
skin of a magnificent Numidian lion. The
President returned thanks for these and
indicated his purpose of placing the tusks

FORCED TO KILL HIM.

A bullet has ended the career of
the handsome sorrel gelding owned by
"Tex" Hall. A few days ago the ami
NAL broke loose from AZ hitching post
in front Of the county hospital and
dashed across lots at a furious pace.
Becoming entangled in q barb wire
fence, the animal was so cut and LAGER
ated by the barbs that it became nee
essary to shoot him. The horse was
one of the finest saddle animals in
this section of the country and was
very valuable. On several occasions his
owner has refused $500 cash for him.

DENVER WILL SHIP.

Within n few weeks, perhaps by the
first of October, a shipment of 40 or SO
tons Of high grade ore will be made
from the Denver on Bonanza mountain.
The upper level will furnish about 200
sacks and the second level about 500
sacks. The work of breaking down the
ore above the second level has been
taken up in earnest. The stope has
been continued to a length of 1875 feet
and is about 25 feet behind the breast
of the level. The stope is all in ore.
The ore is being taken out through a
shoot and the waste is being piled upon
the timbers where it will remain.
There is SO feet of stopping ground be-
tween the second and first level and
the ore is about 4 feet wide on an aver
age. This stope will produce a hand
some tonnage. Some Of the ore is very
rich, occasionally pieces being found
that are literally alive with gold while
the average of the sorted ore will bring
the material now being sacked up to a
good grade that can be p~roftably ship
ped. The first shipment from the Dem
yer will more than pay for all the de-
velopment work done, and when a
property will do this it comes pretty
near being a mine. The development
of the Denver under the management
of o. b. Kemp is one of the most salts

district. RhyolIte Herald.

RICH MINES AT GoLDF1ELD.
Beauchamp Tells of Conditions In
Booming Bonanza Camp.


Booming Bonanza Camp.
w. j. Beauchamp, a well known min
ing man Of Goldfeld, is spending a
few days in Reno, say the State Jour
nal. Mr.. B~eauchamp is a firm believer
in the booming mining camp and is
well posted on the conditions there.
GAS to GoldReld," said Nj. Beau
champ yesterday, "I can safely say
that camp has developed faster than
any other camp on record. In speak
ing of development / NEAR the mines,
regardless of a population of 5000 peo-
pie in the town. OF late / hear a great
deal of skepticism expressed in the
upper part of the state as to the merit
of the Goldfeld mines. / find that this
skepticism is based upon reports from
men who found Goldfield properties
too high for them and from travelling
statesmen who did little or no business
in the town during the summer months.
In that southern country whom the
heat of summer approaches every man
and woman who can takes a vacation
to a cooler climate. As a natural con-
sequence saloons and mercantile bust
ness is perceptibly depressed, but the
mines work on just the same, summer
or winter, and the way they are de-
veloping is a surprise to the world and

cat present the best properties are
the Combination, Florence, Goldfield
Mining company and Jumbo, while a
score Of others are fast becoming pro,
, dueers on u large scale.
"The Jumbo last year produced over
81, 100000 gross and has been practi-
ically idle ever since on account of lti-
igation. The January, belonging to the
Goldfeld Mining company, produced
to the ~Ieasers last year 100000 worth
tof ore of all grades. I am informed
that the company is now extracting
500, 900 per month in development
work.
"The Florence produced in one lease
last year 100000. Working through
the sam shaft the owners of the
property are taking out over 100000
per month. The most phenomenal
thing in Goldfield just now is b. j.

I200-foot level he has a fve-foot vein
running from $500 to 5000 per ton.
| With Il force of lis men and sacking
from 1000 to 400 sacks of ore per day
the daily output is estimated at not
less than $4,000.
"The Combination mine has produc-
ed approximately $2,OO0,000 worth of
ore, practically all of which has been
taken out in developing the mine
"After reaching water level in these
mines evidence of permancy be-
comes pronounced. The ore bodies
become regular and of a better grade.
Although the ore is principally d sui
phide, tellurides also exist. Now in
the deeper workings copper is coming
in, as in Butte, Montana, and in Bing-
ham, Utah. Now if Butte and Bing-
ham are any criterion to go by, Gold
field will be a booming camp otter the
most of us are dead.
"The electric power from Owens
river will be in Goldfeld by the 18th
of this month, when it will take the
place of gasoline and wood at the
mines and mills. Then when the
broad gauge railroad is completed by
the 18th, and ore begins to come out
by the train load every day, no M
need complain that Goldield is dull

THE RUSSIAN HORRORS.

Frightful stories Of anti-Semitic
atrocities continue TO come from Rus
STA. It is impossible to read them lth-
out the deepest Indignation. We care
not how the Jew is regarded as a citi-
zen by those who read these stories
like or dislike for him as the repre-
sentative of a class can have no bear
ing on any discussion Of the horrors.
Our own opinion OF the Jews, and our
experience with them justifies it, is
that they are, as a rule, citizens Of the
first class. They are generous in their
charities; they are sober and industri-
Gus.
We cannot understand how, in an age
of enlightenment it is possible for I'M
offending and inonensivo citizens to be
butchered as the Jews in Russia have
been and are being butchered. That
the police and military connive at if
they do not actually encourage the
slaughter is beyond contraveution.
They stand by and see mobs tear little
children 10 pieces. reud men ana wo-
men, sack stores and burn dwellings,.
One excuse for the horrors is found
in the circulation of reports that the
Jews intend to murder the ear At
least that is the excuse given by the
murderers OF the Jews. II the matter
were not so terribly serious this ex-
cuse would be laughable. The very
men who make it are most disloyal to
the czar: the very men who kill Jews
because of this wildly absurd story, or
pretend that they Kill them for that
reason. are far more likely to assas-
sinate the ear than Is any Jew.
The government OF Russia. disturbed
and harassed though it is. could put a
stop TO the Jew-baiting if it desired to
90 so. Therefore the government must
be held responsible. And the time to
end these murders has come. The pow
ers should join in d sharp protest to
Russia, a protest coupled with the in
timation that unless some desire is
shown to protect the Jews serious COM
plications may follow.
