RENEW THE MUTINY
COMMANDER WOUNDED IN Eat
TILE WITH TROOPS.
SIutineers Include Both Sailors and
ArtilIerists and Have Possession of
Loyal Force at Hand
Is Insufficient.

A st. Petersburg special states:
That there has been a renewal Of the
mutiny at Vladivostok was confirmed
by a dispatch from that city, filed
Thursday, and received here late Fri
day night
The dispatch indicates that the mu-
tiny, which began last Monday, had
not been subdued and that the situa-
ton was far more serious than during
the outbreak in November, as the mu-
tineers include both sailors and artil-
ierists, who are in possession of the
Holy Innocence" battery and are
well armed with rifles and machine
guns as we'll as having heavy fortress
guns.
Gen Mistchenko, who has been sent
to deal with the mutineers, the dis
patch adds, has no easy task, as the
Cossacks given him are ill suited for
capturing a fortified position. 1t de-
clares that the promises Of immediate
transportation home for the men, with
which the government ended the for,
mer revolt, are now scarcely effective.
The telegram, which bears evidences
Of having been carefully edited, says
nothing about the numbers of the mu-
tineers, nor of the attitude of the gar
rison as a whole.
The hasty dispatch of the nearest
available troops indicates that Gen.
Linevitch is distrustful.
The number of Cossacks in a fight
on Tuesday when column Of sailors,
In advancing on the commandments
house, was scattered by machine guns
Is not stated in the dispatch, and there
Is no mention in it Of excuses or the
destruction Of property.
A report that Gen. Sellivanoff, the
commander Of the army corps at Vlad-,
ivostok, has been wounded, is con-
frmed
The war department officials are
unable to give particulars Of the sert.
BUSINESS Of the mutiny, which is due to
the reserve men who are thoroughly
undisciplined and are clamoring for
their immediate transportation home,

STATE OF NEBRASKA
NEWS OF THE WEEK IN A con-
DENSED FORM.
Big Lead Field i'm Nebraska-High
Grade Ore Underlying 100 Square
Miles-Richardson County Already
Talks of Abandoning Its Farms.

Rich deposits of high grade lead
ore, underlying a territory of lOo
square miles in Richardson County,
are the discovery of the past few
weeks, and it begins to look as if Rich
ardson County farms will ere long be
abandoned for the greater wealth that
lies beneath them.
A couple Of months ago three or
our four Falls City men associated
themselves with l. n. Laurence, of
DeadwOod, S. D., to prospect and drill
in the hills lying east of Falls City and
see of the surface indications of min
eral deposits were supported by what
they could find. They leased 900 acres
of land about three miles east Of town
and started to work. The first pros
pect they put down was wet and they
were forced by the water to abandon
it. They moved a little south and far
Their down the hill and put down d
prospect hole there, and at the depth
of 100 feet they struck a six-foot vein
of lead ore that is as fine as any ore
produced by the Joplin district.
They have sunk a number of holes,
and every one shows pay ore in big
bodies.
The territory that this opens up is
monstrous big one, for the strip is
about four miles wide and extends
from the Kansas line north about
twenty-five miles This is almost all
proven territory and it is not known
how much larger the mineral body is.
The company that has developed tlie
field SO far is at work preparing to
work the properties, and Falls City
expects soon to be an ore shipping
point of no small size. It is quite
surprise to the people of Falls City and
Richardson County to discover that
there is something there besides what
grows on top of the ground, and if the
body of ore discovered is large enough
Richardson County will stop farming
and go to mining.
