RICH STRIKE IN NEVADA.
Miners Rushing 10 DEMO, to Prospect
for Fabulous Mines.

What is said to be a fabulous strike
Of gold and copper ore has just been
made on the Nevada line, north of
Wirnemucca.
The Baker City Democrat says of
the new field,
Samples Of ore sent to the Sumpter
National bank and to parties in Baker
City show assays of s165 to S1s5 to
the ton The ore is copper with wire
gold sticking all through 1t. The latest
Information states that 5000 people
from Gold Fields and Tonopah are al
ready on the Nevada line. Ellis writes
that there Is plenty Of ore there as
rich as the samples sent up. One man
hand-mortared s4OO in gold in one
day.
This new gold field Is situated about
six miles from DEMO, on the Nevada
line, $50 miles from Baker City, and
is best reached by the wagon road
| from Austin.
II Is accessible from Winnemucca,
station on the Southern Pacific road
| in Nevada. but the wagon roads from
that point are not so good as from
Austin, Baker City, Sumpter or PEN
dleton. To reach Winnemucca by rail
requires a journey to San Francisco
by way OF Portland, or a journey to
Ogden.
Judge Thomas c. Burke Is grubstak
ing a crew to go to the new Nevada
gold fields and John Murrin and IT.
tus Davies are also outfitting for that
place. II is understood on good au-
thority that Boggs Of the Mayflower
and several eastern capitalists in con-
junction with Baker City men, will
outfit within the next few days an
expedition to Nevada.

of this great energy in the generating
of electricity for the purpose of run
ming cars from Spokane to the sound
country, with consequent expendi-
ture in the Chelan region of 100000
0Oo Is the well substantiated report
that is given out in this city today.
The parties concerned in this great
enterprise, which is to mean so much
for the Big Bend country and the
country about Chelan, are Boston cap
italists acting through their agent. ia,
p. Graves, the we'll known capitalist
and railroad man of Spokane. The
price was $4,000.
Tom Maloney of Spokane, who has
been interested with DR.. N. G. Bla-
lock, of Walla Walla, in the water
rights in the Chelan tievr, was in the
city today and confirms the truthful
ness of the report. The price paid for
the water rights is $4,000. Formerly
owned by Horace V. Williams, an op-
ton was secured last fall by DIR. Bla-
lock and Mr.. Maloney. BY the deal
they sell their option to Jay p.

Invade Big Bend Country.

The scheme as it is now planned
contemplates the construction of an
electric line from Spokane into the
rich wheat fields of the Big Bend
country running close to the town of
Waterville.
On reaching the Columbia, the line
will descend from the plateau by an
easy grade near Chelan falls, where
it will cross. Thence it will run to
the town of Chelan. The route be-
tween Chelan and Seattle will be a
direct one. A pass in the mountains
at the head of the lake has been sur
veyed which is but 5000 feet in eleva-
ton.

New York April l3.--Prosident Mitchell
OF the Miners Union was busy today pre-
pairing to close his headquarters here and
return TO indianapolis, Ind, tomorrow.
All the members OF the General Scale
Committee have left for their homes i'm
the anthracite regions, and will not be
called together again until after the
operators reply to the propositions sub
mitted to them yesterday by the miners.
In the face of the pessimistic expressions
of some Of the members of the General
Scale Committee, President Mitchell is
hopeful Of "a peaceful ending OF the con-
troversy with the operators. He believes
that the operators will make an answer
which will permit the continuance of the
negotiations, instead of abruptly ending
them.
President Mitchell goes to indianapolis
tomorrow to prepare for the meeting OF
the International Executive Board of the
Miners Union. At this meeting the propo-
sition made last week by the Ohio opera
tors to arbitrate the dispute between the
mine owners and the striking miners in
that State will be considered.
+. 3. Sturgis Of Scranton, Pa, an in
dependent coal operator and one Of those
who signed the letter urging the operators
not to concede the demands of the
miners, called on President Mitchell to-
day. After a brief conference with Mr.
Mitchell he said:
"l am here to see Mr. Mitchell about
one matter, and that is ALL | am sorry
sorry that my visit has become known,
as none Of the other operators knew that
] was coming here or the nature Of my
business with Mr.. Mitchell | still think
there will be a strike"
President Mitchell declined to discuss
the conference. Touching the operators
reply yesterday, Mr. Mitchell said:
81 do not consider that the reply re-
ceived yesterday from President Baer is
final II was written on the spur of the
moment and without deliberation. | ex-
pect that the answer yet TO come from
Mr.. Baer, in a week or two viii open up
a new line and do not think the situation
is such that there will be a strike There
is reason to believe that the operators
may see a new light"
