Omega Creek
 Work Progressing

Omega creek has been much talk ed of the past fifteen days. Ac- tivity is more or less general from Ira to Ib. Claims are 1000 feet long.
 E. B. Power in 1903 did the first work of consequence on the creek. Since then pay has been got on va rious claims; but there was nothing to cause a furry till George Krast- ming and John Thompson worked back under the bench on the right limit and struck as high as $ cents to the pan about three weeks ago. Since then the paystreak underly- ing the bench has been found to be rich and extended.

 FOUND NOT GUILTY
Panama Men Acquitted on a Charge of Gambling
 With Indians.

The case at Panama agains, O'Day and Myers, charged with gambling with the Indians i'll the vicinity ot kokrines. resulted in an acquittal. The trial was before Magistrate Bathurst and jury of twelve, and Rev. MT. Provost appeared for the prosecution and Geo. A. Salisbury tor the defeuse.
 Passengers on the Seattle No. told of the ,r,al. They said the Indians testified that in the gambling transaction they lost 36 marten skins, one bear skin and one beaver skin. On cross exami- nation by Salisbury they placed the number of marten skins lost to the white men at four.
 When the case had been submit ted the defense raised the point that the prosecution failed to identify the party who won the skins. The prosecution wanted to recall the witnesses and the defense objected. The contention was strenuous and for an hour the court wavered, but at last sustained the objection, and MT. Salisbury scored an important advantage.
 The jury was out but short while.
 It is said that MT. Salisbury's management of the case, and espe- cially his address to the jury, was very favorably commented upon.

RUSH AT THE FLORENCE NINE.
Reilly Trying to Get Out All the Gold He
Can Before His Lease IL Up.

GoLDF1ELD, New, Aug. 25.-Every man
who can be hired is working on the Reilly
lease Of the Florence Mine, three shifts being
worked. This activity is due to the fact that
rich ore has been truck and that the lease
expires on Nov. 1. leaving only trihe over
two months to get ut the ore.
B.J. Reilly, known as THE Lucky Leaser'
because the fifth interest he had in the
famous January lease produced over
81 900 900 worth Of high grade ore last
year, Ia the principal owner Of the lease.
For eight months three old time miners
sunk q shaft without apparent result and
were about to give up in disgust. Reilly,
it is said, secured secret information, fur
nished by one Of the miners working in
the shaft, that rich ore had been encountered
and covered up, and he obtained a lease
for the unexpired time.
It IL said that $50 600 was paid a miner
who divulged the information and only q
few dollars to the original leasers, who had
spent thousands in sinking the shaft.
The Florence Company receives only
rs per cent. of the net output. all the rest
going to Reilly and his associates. One
hundred and fifteen men are working night
and day In the shaft. It is expected that
500 900 viii be taken out by Nov.l.

AIMS AT PENSION REFORM.
New Law Places Penalty on Feeling Special
Bill Boomers.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.--An act approved
March 8 last, which attracted little or no
attention at the time, appears in the new
codiacation Of United States pension laws
Just issued from the Government Printing
ONCE. 1t provides penalty for any per.
son to accept q fee to secure tho passage OF
. special pension bill.
The legislation Is des igned to put a
check on the large number OF applications
for pension by special bill which are worked
up by rural attorneys who want the fees
and become an embarrassment to the work
Of Con grees. It Is the intention to enforce
this statute rigidly. and many prosecutions
are expected because OF the alleged wide
prevalence Of the evil 1t seeks to correct
and ignorance Of the existence Of the statute
which passed In the rush Of business in
cident to the closing Of Congress.
The special pension bill Is recognized as
enc Of the gfeat legislative evils. Strict
rules were adopted by the Pension oom-
mittee, Of both Houses, putting limitations
on the bills to be reported. But this failed
to prevent their introduc tions, few Senators
or Representatives having the courage to
decline Q request from q constituent or his
attorney TO introduce bill.
The result was that thousands OF them
went into the Congressional hopper. Many
Senators have introduced as many as $50
bills each in . single Congress. Burton OF
Kansas led in the last Congress. having in
troduced more than 200.

Gennaro vattelli was the landlord Of the
Five Points gang until q month ago, when
he ordered the Five Points Club to move
out Of his house at 12o White street. Gen.

his family. He thought the reason was
sufficient.
The Five Points gang didn't. and they
conceived violent dislike for Gennaro.
Tho gang had hard time finding new
quarters, and the more they looked the
more they disliked Gennaro. Amadeo and
Alberto, the two sons of Maria Isalo, who
has the upper floor Of Gennaro's house,
belong to the gang. Their mother didn't
have to move, but they made things un-
pleasant for Gennaro, he says, because
he put the club out. GennAro decided
last night that It was time for the family
Of Maria to leave.
He met Amadeo in the hallway and gave
dispossess notice orally. Amadeo promptly
punched him In the nose and ran toward
Baxter street, whooping for his gang.
Gennaro grabbed q revolver and chased
him. In front OF 50 Baxter street Amadeo

After Recorder Golf had made COM

Lantry has been conducting an investiga-
ton, with the result that one Tombs keeper
has been transferred to Blackwelps Island
and charges have been preferred against
another.
1t is said that the keepers allowed lawyer
who is awaiting trial to roam around the
corridors OF the prison and solicit business
from other prisoners. The lawyer prisoner
Is understood to have had working agree
ment with two other lawyers.
When lawyers who had been retained
by friends Of the prisoners went to the
Tombs they met the lawyers who were
employed at the solicitation Of the lawyer
prisoner. In several instances, 1t is said,
that fights were averted only through
the interference Of keepers. Commissioner
Lantry heard OF QUE Of these soraps and
about ten days ago started the investige ton
that has resulted in charges against two
keepers. Others may DO involved. .
