BLACK SAND
NEAR RENO
A Wash Uncovered a Piece OF
Grouud That Assays
Well

What may prove TO be a remarkable
gold hnd was made on the Berrum
ranch, tnree miles southwest of Reno,
yesterday afternoon. While drilling for
an artesian well Louis Berrnm. prom
inent sheep man, cut into deep strata
of wash. The peculiar black color of
the sand raised in his mind the question
that it might contain mineral and ac-
cordingly he brought small amount Of
the sand and gravel to Reno last night.
Assayer Harris made an examination OF
the sample and Mr.. Berrum was aston
ished to find that it ran about an ounce
Of gold to the ton, with strong trace
Of silver. says the Gazette.
The wash is about seventy feet under
the surface and the strata is from
twenty to thirty feet deep. If its values
will average an ounce of gold to the ton.
about so, the find is big one. as 1t
could be mined by the cyanide process
with comparatively little cost.
The strike is causing much excitement
about the city.
AS soon as he learned what the returns
were Mr. Bgrrum stated that he would
have more of the sand assayed and that
il the returns were as large as in the
first sample he might sink a shaft or
drill in another place TO determine how
extensive the wash is.
A number Of mining men have become
suddenly interested in the find and have
offered to help finance a company to
open up the wash preparatory TO mining
1t on big scale if the area of pay dirt
will justify 1t.

ELKO IS
EXCITED
Signs Of Scrap With Blood Stains
Calls Forth the Following From
the Free Press

Considerable excitement was occa-
stoned this morning. says the Elko Free
Press, by the finding of a razor, knife
blade, pipe and handkerchief badly
stained with a substance which had all
the appearances of blood on the east
side of the court house and large red
stains in the snow and on the ground.
There were evidences of a struggle and
the idea prevailed that murder had
been committed and that the body had
been disposed Of A track was found
resembling a moccasin track which gave
rise to the theory that Indians, probably
drunk. had assaulted white man, as
the handkerchief was white linen. and
the razor and pipe seemed to indicate
that white man was mixed up in the
affair
The officers were informed and an in
vestigation and slight search for the
supposed victim was made without re-
suit Later an analysis of the sub
stance which stained the handkerchief
was made and the result causes the mat
tr tc take a more serious aspect. for it
is found beyond doubt to be blood.
Whether or not it is the blood of
human being has not yet been decided.
If il is, from appearances, there is
enough to cause death, as it would prob
ably take a quart and a half of blood
to discolor that amount of snow and
ground.
The authorities who were at first in
clined to believe that the stains were
not blood stains, but made by a foreign
substance ebgan a more thorough In
vestigation. Persons living in that VI
cinity were interviewed. but no one
heard unusual noises nor could they of
fer a suggestion as to how that amount
of blood was placed there. No one rec
ognizes the pipe or other articles found
scattered about and the affair is an en-
tire mystery.

IMPORTANTDECISION
In INSURANCE CASE
Kentucky Court OF Appeals Holds the
Defaulting PolicyhoIders Have an
Interest in company's Surplus.

FRANKFORT. KY. Oct. 1s.-The
Kentucky Court of Appeals today in
affirming the judgment of the Camp
bell Circuit Court in the case OF the
United States Life Insurance Com
pany of the city of New York against
Harry Spicks, holds that under the
law OF New York dividend additions"
means that proportion of the surplus
in the bonds Of the company accumu-
lated from premiums and profits Of
the company. It is further declared
that a defaulting policyholder's share
of the dividend additions" is to be
ascertained as of the dates of the fail
ure to make any payment Of prem
iums, on the basis of the American
experience table of mortality, with in
terest at per cent per annum. In
other words, the court held that the
defaulting policyholder shared in
the same proportion that the policy
had contributed to the creation of
said surplus. In the case at bar, the
deferred dividend additions carried a
$4,000 policy on the death of the in
sured. The case will undoubtedly go
to the United States Supreme Court.

NEW SOURCE OF PAPER.

"A big opportunity for. Southern
farmers is offered by the perfection
of new method of making paper
namely, out of cotton stalks-accord-
ing to Frank N. Bauskett, who has an
article on this subject in the Novem-
Der Technical World Magazine, en-
titled New Source of Paper" Ac-
cording to this authority, the practi-
cal effect will be to increase the pres
ent value of the cotton crop of the
South by nearly ,$1OO,0O0,O0O annual
ly. Harvie Jordan, President of the
Southern Cotton Association, declares
that the manufacture of paper from
fiber of the cotton stalk is one of the
latest and most interesting inventions
OF the new century. For many years,
expert inventors have been busily
engaged experimenting with the cot.
ton stalk and recent developments
gives assurance that their labors are
to be rewarded with signal success
Paper manufactured from the cotton
stalk is of the strongest texture and
softest finish. Several plants will be
erected during the next few months
in the South, which viii be in full op

WAR AND SOCIAL
ECONOMY

In the so-called "glories" victories of
Caesar, a million men persisted on
the field of battle. Napoleon, in the
short space of nine years, was author
lied to devote to "the glory of France"
100000 of her sons. In the ten
years following the attack on Fort
Sumter, the world destroyed in war
100000 lives and six billions worth
of property. Two-thirds of the COM
bined budgets of the various States
of Europe are devoted to the mainte-
nance of armed forces, and to the
service of debt, practically the whole
of which was incurred by wars. War
expenses in Europe absorb one-half
of all the wealth created by productive
labor. In the comparatively insignifi-
cant war of England with the Beers,
England lost 22,450 men and spent
81, 400. 100000.
Three hundred and fifty thousand
men were withdrawn by her from pro
ductive industry to engage in the
destruction of war. Military expendi-
lures in the United States during the
last eight years have absorbed $780,
100000, more than enough to pay the
national debt and dig the Panama Ca
nal.
War, then, is alarmingly expensive.
Unless indispensable as means of
preserving national integrity, the out
lay is likely to exceed the income.
But war, as a rule, is not indispensa-
ble AS a rule its causes are trivial.
It's object today is usually commercial;
it is waged for markets. War, there
fore, is phase of industrial competi-
ton, or it is rather Industrial competi-
tion writ large. Armies and nayies
are the effective instruments for open
ing doors to business enterprise. Their
however, is the superla-
tive example of social waste. The
question of their increase or enlarge
ment is a question of social economy.

ENTIRELY
TOO HIGH
COST OF LIFE INSURANCE TO
GENERAL PUBLIC.
So Held by Special Investigating Com
mittee Appointed by Governor
of Indiana.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. Oct ga
special committee appointed by the
Governor, which has been investigat
ing the office of the Auditor of State
for year with special reference to
mutual aid stock life insurance com.
panies. today submitted its report to
Gov. Hanly. The general conclusions
of the committee are:
The cost of life insurance to the
public is too high. The present max
imum premium rates for insurance are
so much in excess of needs as to per-
NIT of extravagant management of
companies, theft of their funds, di-
version of profits and other great
abuses without rendering the COM
panies insolvent. Indiana insurance
companies, like many companies of
other States, have been guilty of ex-
travagance and abuses, though they
have maintained solvency.
There is no real difference in es-
sentials between insurance business
and other business, and no reason why
it should not be conducted on sound
economical basis, according to def
mite principles. Indiana should not
seek to protect home companies that
are guilty of abuses, but should, by
stricter laws and better support of
the Insurance Department, foster in
surance on sound basis and bring
to this section business that has been
going to companies of other States"

ESTATE VALUED
AT $25O,OOO
ATLANTA Georgian.)

Rev. Sam P. Jones left an estate
estimated at $25O,OOO, consisting large
ly of valuable properties in Atlanta,
Cartersville and other points Proper
ty belonging to Mrs. Jones was sold
here not many years ago for $4,000.
Mr.. Jones did own a valuable Ken
lucky farm, but sold it because his
evangelistic work prevented him from
giving it the necessary attention.
Those in position TO speak author
itatively say that for many years Mr..
Jones income was from $4,000 to $40,-
600 a year from his evangelistic and
lecture work.
OF this great sum he annually gave
away to charitable work more than
two-thirds of his ea-uings. His bene-
factors we're so wide and varied that
few but his own family knew of them.
He rarely spoke of them, and sought
to keep his generous gifts from the
public.
His life insurance was fully $751;
900, and this, of course, will go to
his estate. 1t is believed that his wife
will administer the estate.
