What 1t Is Today

The theater for the greatest mining excitement
known since the halcyon days of the Comstock.
From a tent camp it has grown into a busy hustling
city of six thousand earnest busy men, its hillside
covered with holes from which fortunes are being
hoisted daily. A city one mile in length, whose
streets are crowded with investors from many sec
tions, mining men recruited from. the four corners of
the globe. 1t is getting bigger every day. The
fabulous values found at the surface, the true fissure
formation proving permanently, the width of the
ledge and the immense ore bodies, have made it the
greatest gold camp, for the same number of days,
ever known in the history of mining activities of the
west. Ore is being sacked at 60 places and weekly
shipments from the camp are increasing every week.
The mineralized zone is being extended each week.
The camp two and a half months old establishes a
new record in the annals of gold mining.

About Manhattan

Two months ago it was a dismal draw between
frowning, precipitate hills. 1t was only inhabited
by few men poorly sheltered in a little cluster OF
tents. Ore was sacked from the grass roots by the
early locators and prospectors and it was the fabul-
ously rich character of this rock which first started
the stampede and developed the camp, with depth
into the greatest gold camp the world has ever seen.
Princely fortunes were made to the original locators,
and fortunes are still being made daily by new dis
coverers and the proving up of the ore bodies al
ready developed. All the leading stocks have ap-
preciated in value from 25 to 300 per cent in five
weeks. Consult the stock market reports. during
the current week just closed several securities have
advanced from 80 to 100 per cent in value, based
upon new rich discoveries. The entire list OF Man
haitian stocks responded in sympathy.

WHITE HOUSE NEEDS REPAIRS
Building That Seems to Want a Lot of
Attention-Wants $4,000
Worth Now.

Washington, July 3. - Since the
veloped that extensive repairs viii
have to be made to the White HOu: e
before President Roosevelt and his
family return to it next autumn.
While no definite determination Of the
matter has been reached, it may be
that the president will not return to
Washington until late next October,
instead Of arriving here from Oyster
Bay about the first Of October as usual
Congress WIS asked, at its recent ses-
sion. to make a considerable appro-
priatiou for extraordinary repairs at
the White House. Some reluctance
was manifested by congress in making
the appropriation but a sum of $50
600 finally. was authorized to be ex-
pended. Practically the whole Of
this amount will have to be used in
making the repairs necessary.
1t is a curious circumstance that tie
discovery Of the necessity for the re-
pairs on the White House was made al
most coincldentaIly with the murder
by Harry X. Thaw of Stanford White,
one of the firm Of architects which di-
rected three years ago the remOdeling
Of the White House. Some OF the work
done on the White House at that time
has failed. 1t has been found neces-
sary to replace the roofs on both tie
east and the west terraces, either be-

Milwaukee, Wis. July 2.-After
three pitched battles, in which, only
Willy Schultheis, an onlooker, was
shot, George Fritz, James Adams,
Thomas Clark, and Joseph Casey,
three Of whom are said by the police
to be desperadoes, postoffice robbers,
and craftsmen, have been captured by
Wisconsin farmers near Richfield.
Upon the discovery of safe blowing
tools in a merry gO-rOund the four
were running they drew weapons, fired
on the crowd, and escaped to barn.
When followed thence they again
opened fire and fled to the depot, where
they barricaded themselves and fired
on the posse. After dark they again
escaped to grove near Richfeld,
where they were surrounded. After
a few shots they surrendered.

JUST A LEGISLATIVE FICTION
Two Houses of Congress Adjourned on
Different Dates.

Washington. July 3. - Discrepancy
in the official dates of the adjournment
of the two houses of congress caused
some discussion at the Capitol as to
whether this would affect legislation
passed on the closing day. The journal
of the house shows that body to have
adjourned on the Goth, while the senate
journal shows that the upper branch
adjourned on the 9th of June. This
arose from the fact that when the
house convened on the Both it was still
proceeding under the legislative day of
the 2Sth, as a result of having taken
a recess on the night of the 29th.
Courts, clerk of the house commit
tee on appropriations, said that sim
liar case arose some years ago. and
that the comptroller of the treasury
decided that the seeming difference in
the dates of adjournment was a leCis-
lative fiction and not a fact.

BILLS oT EXCEPTIONS FILED
Convicted Defendants in the Kansas
City Rebate Case Take the
Final Steps in Appeal

Kansas City, July 3.-Final steps
in the rebate cases have been. taken in
the United States district court here
when appeal bonds were perfected o.,
behalf of the seven convicted individ-
uals and concerns and when bills of
exception were filed for the Chicago.
Burlington and Quincy Railroad com
pany and George L. Thomas, the New
York broker, and his chief clerk, L. b.
Taggart. Bills of exceptions had been
presented previously in the cases of
the Armour, Swift, Cudahy and Mel
son Norris packing companies.
The next step will be the filing Of
the bills with the court Of appeals.
which will be done at st. Louis Aug.
81. In the case of the Burlington
railroad the exceptions dwell on the
allegation of the defendant that the
interstate commerce act does not ap-
ply to export rates, and that the dis
trict court lacks jurisdiction.

USE WORKOUT PRIVATE CARS
Railroad Men Complain of Doings of
Excursion Party Organizers.

Madison, Wis, June 30.-The Wis
consin railroad rate commission gave
a hearing in the Chicago, Milwaukee
and st. Paul and Wisconsin railroads
on the complaint Of Don. Hall of
Stevens Point and others for an order
compelling the railroad companies to
haul private cars over their lines.
The railroad companies claim that
certain spectators have bought pri-
vate cars that have been discarded by
railroads as worn out and organized
excursion parties for trips through
various parts of the country by giving
lower rates than the railroads them
selves can afford to.
The railroads claim that the use Of
these old, discarded cars is a menace
to the safety of railroad traffic and
that the roads have virtually decided
not to haul them for that reason. At
torney Thomas H. Gill represented the
Wisconsin Central and Attorney
Charles E. Vroman the Milwaukee
road
