BIG GOLD FIND.
Has Not as Yet Been
Found.

Iheie vas a great deal of excitement
In town last week over the report of a
rich gold find which was made by a
Norwegian cook, named Alex. Egeason.
Egeason took the news of the find to
Elko Sunday or Monday, a week ago.
He had a piece Of the rock which be
gave to w. C. Owens of Elko who had
1T assayed, which went $40, 100 in gold
and ~ ozs. silver. Not being a citi-
zen Egeason could mol make a loca-
ton and he went To Elko to take out
his first papers. This he did Tuesday.
Last Wednesday night Mr.. Owens and
Egeason came down from Elko and
the next morning left for the find.
1t Is said that Egeason has been
prospecting in the Bullion country
tor some time past, and was camped
on Indian Creek, which is about %
miles southeast of Battle Mountain.
AS 70 as the news became known a
great many anxious men started for the
great find, some leaving town at mid
night Thursday, and the road was
kept warm with wagons and men on
horseback, all bent on getting n slice
OF the rich ground. By Saturday
morning We are told that there were
about fifty.tive men Mt Egeason's
camp. Egeason after arriving Mt camp
from town left for Beowawe where
he went to settle some bills which lie
owed. He returned Friday evening.
Saturday morning q miners meeting
was held before Egeason and party
struck out to locate the find and it
was agreed on that Owens and the cook
should be permitted to make five loca-
tons on the lode or vein and the
Others drew numbers for precedence
in locating extensions. All agreed to
this and plats of the country were
made. The men all started, as they
supposed, fer the rich find, led by the
.discoverer, and headed in the direc-
ton OF the Park, or near the old John
Hovenden property. After travelling
for some distance the party came to a
halt. 1t was also agreed upon that
Owens and Egeason should go alone
to the find and that when their loca-
tions were made they would signal
the others to come. After battling
Owens aud partner continued on ard
the rest Of the crowd took a position
on the mountain side and watched
every movement of the two men. The
cook ciTcled round and round, picking
up n piece of ruck lere aud here aud
handing IL to Mr.. Owens Who would
examine it. This was kept up for
nearly four hours when Mr.. Owens
gave the signal to come and II merry
scramble was then ON to see who
would get there first. When they
reached him, Mr.. Owens said. "Boys,
it's all of, there's no gold here" All
returned to camp and made hasty
preparations to return home.
There seems to be a lingering sus-
picion in the minds of some that the
cook found the gold as he reported
and knows where it is, but refused to
lead the crowd to it. Others are
firmly of this belief, while the rest do
not hesitate TO say that the whole
thing is a fake. So there you are,
gentle reader.
There were men from battle Noun
tain, Elko and Bullion district Mt the
excitement. Those from Battle
Mountain and Glko have returned.
We understand Mr.. Owens has also re-
turned to Elko.
So this is as the reported rich gold
find ssands at this writing.

Easy Fishing.

Catching fish by hand is becoming a
great sport on the Auxvasse, says the
Mokane (Mo) HeraldPost The
method is to feel under the roots of
trees oyerhanging the water, under old
logs, rock heaps, etc, until Mr.. Fish
is located, when it IS a comparatively
easy matter to run ones hand into his
gills and pull him from the water.
Several catfish weighing in the neigh
borhood of seventy-fye pounds have
been captured in this way during the
past few weeks.

HOKE SMITH ADDRESSED
BIG CROWD IN DAWSON
CONTINUED from first page.)

| t(JOnUlnuSu lEOul nISG PUSC'J
taxed from Nashville to Georgia
ports.
"My earnest desire is to turn the
minds of the people of Georgia to
these questions that they may study
them. believe they are wronged IN
transportation rates to the extent OF
not less than $4,OO0,000 year. |
would have them protected from this
unjust tax. If can induce the public
TO put their minds on these questions.
to give them attention, [ have no
doubt about the fact that transporta-
ton charges will be reduced, and the
process of unjustly taking this money
from the pockets of the people of
Georgia by the railroad companies
will be brought to an end. "
Mr.. Smith declared that if he were
elected governor he would go to the
railroad commission and demand GER
tain equitable adjustment of rates
from it, and if they refused he would
ask the legislature to abolish the
present commission and establish a
new one, and that if the legislature re-
fused to do this he wonld 60 into the
counties of those members who voted
AGAINST the terms of his request and
ask the voters to send other represent
atives who would vote to abolish the
commission.
With reference to the tender of a
place on the supreme bench by Gov
ernor Terrell to Hon. Hamilton Nc
Whorter, Mr.. Smith said that the con-
firmation of this appointment would
have been disgrace on the state, and
that the people, before they submitted
to such an outrage, would have burn
ed down the capitol. He declared fur
Their that if he had known Governor
Terrell would have offered Judge Nc
Whorter the place he would have pre-
ferred having his right hand burned
off before he would have voted for
him.
Mr. Smith stated that it had not
been his desire or intention to enter
the gubernatOrial race, but that he
IelU UldU III was HIS OuUJ w UA1S PSCpAC
of Georgia to enter the campaign. He
said that it had been charged that his
campaign was premature, but that his
early entrance was source OF more
worry to the combinations he opposed
than anyone else, and that several
prominent citizens of Dawson possibly
not being partial to his ear y cam
paign had made it point to be away
from Dawson on that day.
Mr.. Smith entered plea for more
comprehensive public school system
and a state agricultural college.
He spoke at some length upon the
problem of negro suffrage, and adj
vanced the contention for the disfran-
chisement of the race in Georgia.
Mr.. Smiths speech was very able
and eloquent one, and his audience in
the main was well pleased with his et-
fort.
Immediately after his speech the
large crowd gathered around the, nu-
merous tables that had been provided
and enjoyed bountiful repast OF de-
liciousiy barbecued meats and other
tempting viands.
1t was a big day in Dawson, and
will long be remembered as political
event in the cOunty's history.

1t was supposed that the sensations
in regard to the battle Of the sea Of
Japan had been exhausted, but Ad-
miral RoiestEensky's report, printed
recently at London, is a document of
so amazing a character that the battle
has again been discussed almost as
generally as Immediately after 1t was
fought, says a London correspondent
Of the New York Times.
1t is stated that the report was re-
ceived by the czar on July 10, but had
hitherto been kept secret. AS soon as
the admirars condition permitted he
received all the superior officers of his
squadron who are prisoners in Japan
and drew up his report in agreement
with Admiral Nebogatoff The report
has not been officially published yet,
but the contents of it have become
known to the members of the cars
court.
The admiral declares that his vessels
were in extremely bad condition, due
not only to the haste in their cOnstruc-
ton, but also to the dishonesty of the
builders and the corruption of the Rus
sian officials who passed as satisfac-
tory ships which were manifestly bad.
On none of the vessels did the thick
ness of the armOr plating correspond
to the official figures. Furthermore,
the armor was of Inferior quality, and
this enabled the Japanese shells to
pierce it. The vessels were not pro-
vided with telemeters, which inter
fered considerably with the accuracy
of their firing The shells were lam
entably made, and two-thirds of them
did not explode. The ships could not
carry the necessary quantity of coal,
and none OF them attained their guar
anteed speed. The engines and boilers
were of poor quality and were CON
stantly in need of repairs.

LITTLE JAMES HUGH SIMMONS KILLED
BY FALLING hay FRAME HIS
NECK BROKEN.

While the family was at dinner last
SATURDAY, at their home on the Enter

Mrs. Cliff simmons, went down to the
barn lot, and, it is supposed, climbed up
on top OF hay frame, which overturned
with him, catching and throwing him in
a manner to break his neck, causing al
most instant Death. His parents missed
him after the meal, and began looking
for him, finding him as above described.

of friends Tue burial took place
near the home Sunday afternoon.
