POLITICAL POINTERS
Several Meetings Scheduled For 1b-'
 morrow V BaIkeley Refuses ts Act

There will be something doing In, politics to-morrow. In the afternoon. fifth warders will get together and in the evening at o'clock tho fourth ward voters will hold session in the democratic headquarters in Holo- hans block. The town committee was scheduled to meet last night, but q; quorum was not present and no busi- ness was transacted. There appears to be some difference of opinion re- garding tue kind of tickets that ought to be used at the primaries. Some claim that the name of the can- didate for senator should be printed across the head of the ticket, directly over that of the delegates so that voters may be able to tell which is which without trusting to anybody. The average voter will not know one set of delegates from the others and as result the bulk of the people who will go to the polls will have to rely upon others for this informa- ton. With view to preventing de- ception and also to expedite matters many believe that the names of the candidates, Phelan, Hurley and Lynch, should appear on the head of the tickets and in this case nobody would have to ask any questions. It Is within the power of the town con- mittee to do this and 1t Is likely that they will look at the matter favor ably.
 Some of the prominent politicians. of the state are in Waterbury to-day attending the annual clambake O. the Scovill Republican club at State League park. The American band furnished music and an interesting program of sports was prepared by the committed Sheriff Durham was on the ground early and appeared to get the glad hand everywhere he turned, although it is said that there are quite a few Walter men in the club. but they don't want to parade their views. It was big day and while the rank and file knew little or nothing of what took place on the side of the knowing ones claim that the slate picked out is the self-samc one approved by the machine and that it will go through the primaries without a change, whatever may be- come of it on election day.

COPPER MINES OF PILOT
RANGE PROMISE GREAT THINGS

Among the big mining propositions
of this state there are few that exceed
the copper mines of the Pilot range near
Nina. A Boston company has recently
bonded a group of mines within seven
miles of Luning on the railroad and has
a ledge that runs from Is to 81 per cent
in p 1t has built houses for the
men piped in water and under the SUI
perintendency of Joseph Marshall is
working twenty men to develop the
property for about a year and a half and
thirty feet, and with it's superior rail-
road facilities the district should prove
another bonanza for Nevada.
These mines are ten miles to the
north of Nina, while to the south there
is a group of claims owned by Henry
loft and James Plant that can easily
produce sufficient ore to run a smelter
on lead, silver and gold. loft and
Plant have been working on their
property for about a year an a half and
the developments are of such character
as to warrant the belief that the posi-
lied at present. Even by those who are
familiar with the wonderful discoveries
in the south during the past few years.
Mention is made of the two properties
as illustrations, but a full list of the
claims that have sufficient showing to
permit of being termed as out of the
class of prospects would look like a
catalogue.-Reno Journal.

RUSHING WORK ON THE
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. RAILROAD

W.. B. Chaplin, chief engineer of the
Bullfrog-Goldfeld railroad and w. c..
R%ichings, assistant chief engineer, were
in Rhyolite yesterday looking after the
work on the new line. Practically all
the heavy grading has been completed,
and the steel gangs were started to
work yesterday at Midtown, near Gold
field. Track laying will be pushed from
the north with all possible speed ana
the engineers say the road will be COM
pleted into Rhyolite by December ].
Over a hundred head of horses will be
sent to South Bullfrog at once and
grading is to be resumed there within
a week.
1t is understood on coed authority
that the report to the effect that the
Clark people have secured control of
the right of way is absolutely without
foundation. The present promoters of
the enterprise will finish the road into
the Bullfrog district as rapidly as pos
sible.-Bullfrog Miner

THE BULLFROG DISTRICT


timbered and the east crosscut from
his point. recently started, has ad-
vanced is feet, the entire distance be-
ing in an excellent grade of milling ore.
The north drift from the Index shaft is
in IL feet and the face shows quartz
with punches of manganese carrying
good milling values. The south drift
is in six feet with practically the same
material in the face.
TRANsvAAL-A bunch of ore
brought in from the T%ransvaal the
other day gave a return at Simons' as
say office of 2s.26 ounces in gold to the
ton, or s565.2O. The rock came from
about 10 feet below the surface in the
vicinity of the original strike, and is
literally spattered with free gold. The
gold appears in a grayish silicfed rhyo-
lite. D.. c. Probasco, brother of George
Probasco, who was one of the discov-
erers of the Transvaal, has given the
formation careful study for some time
and now thinks he has arrived at the
correct conclusion regarding the de-
post. The difficulty hitherto has been
in determining the trend of the vein.
The surface discovery, which first d.
rected attention to the new district, was
Of phenomenal richness, free gold APP
pearing in large quantities across an
open cut for a distance of 100 feet. 1t
was then thought that the vein held a
northerly and southerly direction. but
sinking failed to reveal a continuation
of the high surface values. The forma-
ton is very much broken up, and the
conclusion reached from later %investi-
CATION is that the rich surface deposit
was pushed over from a vein having an
easterly and westerly strike. This is
adduced from the fact that a couple of
chimneys containing identical material
have been discovered west of the pres
ent workings, and further on and
slightly to the north the vein appears
in place.. The subsequent dykes, 1T
would seem, nave cut through the
veins, with the result that they were
more or less contorted. The chimneys
evidently nave been broken from the
vein and pushed south. The present
plan is to continue the crosscut from
the shaft toward the vein. The drive is
in 20 feet now and appears to be APP
preaching pay ground, as values are be-
ginning to come in the face.

.YNCHED THE negro
de bad Committed An ASSAULT
ON A WHITE GIRL.
Mob at Chickasha, Indian Territory,
Captures Wretch after Long
Chase-Is Identified by victm-He
Voluntarily Confesses and Is Drag
ged to Handy Tree and Executed.

Chickasha l. T., July ga negro
who committed a criminal assault
upon the 16 year old daughter of Ira
Robertson near Womack was captured
and after being taken back to the
scene of his crime was hanged and
burned near the spot where he COM
mitted the crime. He confessed his
crime and offered no resistance to the
mob. To one person the negro gave
his name as Cliff Mays of Marshall,
Texas, and he told another that 1t was
Will Newbright of San Antonio. BY
the time the negro was overtaken
near Bradley fully 400 men had joined
in the chase and soon after the cap
ture the march to Womack began.
When the Robertson home was reach
ed and the negro was brought before
the assaulted girl she said at once:
That's the one" and the negro re-
piled: Eyes lady, I'm the one. Gen
tlemen, l admit the crime"
The mob then proceeded with their
victim past the spot where he had
committed his crime and to a tree in
the road on the bank of Walnut creek,
where a rope was thrown over a limb
about Is feet high and the other end
knotted about the mans neck. He
was given an opportunity to speak
and again he confessed his guilt; and
after fervent prayer to God for for
giveness he was drawn into the air to
die by strangulation. Before life was
extinct the body was lowered to the
ground. logs and brush were heaped
upon it and the mass ignited For a
the body writhed, a few
groans were heard and the flames
their work. Two hours Ia
ter the charred body was buried unuer
the same tree, under direction of a
deputy marshal from Purcell, who had
been thwarted in his efforts to take
the negro from the mob.
Miss Robertsons condition is not
serious.

BARE BRAIN FOR A cLoT
Delicate Operation Is Performed on
Man.

Man.
Applying to surgery the axiom that
while there is life there is hope,
surgeons in Washington Heights hos
pital, New York City, placed Wiener
Koch, aged 80, on the operating table.
But there was so little left in Koch
that the surgeons felt that work was
well nigh futile.
Koch entered his home a week ago,
sought his bed without arousing any
of the family and was found uncon-
scious by his mother on the morning
of June TO- Efforts to arouse him were
unsuccessful. Examination disclosed
no wounds on Koch's body, and there
were no symptoms of drug or alcoholic
poisoning. Day by day he grew weak
er. He was taken to hospital, where
slight depression in the skull was
discovered and an operation per-
formed. Removing a small area of
the skull a blood clot was found. AS
more of the skull was cut away, the
clot was seen to be extended, and it
was soon found to cover a six-inch sur
law VI IuC VI GILL IL was opcoully anu
simply removed, and doctors were
still at work when Koch opened his
eyes, drew in deep breath and sat
bolt upright upon the table. Quickly
but feebly he told of receiving blow
on the head.
Two hours after Koch had come to
life on the operating table detectives
brought to the station two men who
admitted being with Koch. They were
on his description. Koch is
in fair way Of recovering.

sPokANE's LEADING THEATERs.

"Parson Jim" at Columbia Theater.
An interesting story of the honest
seafaring folk of the New England
coast is "Parson Jim,'' which will be
the offering of the Byron Douglas COM
pany at the Columbia theater for the
week beginning Sunday evening. The
four acts of the play are laid in the
fishing hamlets of the Massachusetts
coast, and a pure salt tang pervades
the entire piece.
The chief interest of the play CEN
Parson Jim of the play. Fairchild is
parson in nickname only-the so
briquet having been bestowed on him
in his younger days, when he was
noted for his repeated escapades. In
later life, after a course on the sea
under his father, he settled down. as
staid member of society and en-
gagged in boat building, but he was
never able to shake off the appellation
given him in his youth.
At the time of the opening of the
play Parson Jim is a prosperous boat
builder, who has thrown his past be-
hind him. He falls in love with his
foster sister, Edna Fairchild, and the
story of his love forms one Of the
most interesting stories of the play.
The girl falls in love with gay young
New Yorker with nothing to recon-
mend himself but his good looks, and
who starts in to break the girls heart.
Parson Jim, however, saves her from
final disgrace and unhappiness.
Next week the company will pre-
sent the dramatization by Wilkie Col
Inns OF his own famous story "a New
Magdalen."
Miss Ruth St. Denis, whose mystic
Hindu dances recently created a SEN
sation in New York, arrived in Lon
don a few days ago and will shortly
appear at one of the West End thea.

Government Enters Market for First
Time in Thirteen Years.
Washington, Aug. 10.-For the first
time in 13 years the government an
nounced today its purpose to purchase
silver for coinage purposes. Tenders
are invited at the Office of the director
of the mint in this city on Wednesday,
August Is, up-to O'Clock p. M, and
every Wednesday thereafter until
further notice. These tenders are to be
for delivery at the Philadelphia, New
Orleans or Denver mints, settlement to
be on the New York basis OF bullion
guaranteed 800 fine. The treasury re-
serves the right to reject all tenders or
accept such part of any tenders as may
suit it's convenience.
1t Ia understood that, anticipating
that its temperance as purchaser
might temporarily disturb the market
unduly, thu treasury has obtained con-
troll of considerable amounts for furture
delivery, SO that it is in position to
drop out of the market for several
months if desirable. The average re-
quirements OF the treasury throughout
the year will probably not exceed 100,.
900 ounces per week, and 1t will be ths
policy of the department, while keep
ing reasonable amount on hand, to &c
distribute it's purchases throughout tbs
year that its demands will be uniform
and not an element of uncertainty il
the market.

Washington, Aug. III Chinese labor
will be given thorough test on 'ne

prepared, and advertisements Will DC

sion in few days asking for propossis
from labor agents.
II the initial $500 Chinese prove
success, it is likely that many more
will be taken to the isthmus to do the
work, which is too hard for the 'a-
maicans now employed there in large
Numbers. Organized labor has offered
much opposition to the use OF contract
Chinese labor, but the Jamaican WORK
men have proven inadequate, sufficient
spaniards cannot be had Immediately
to rash the work, and the Chinese are
the last hope Of the commission.
President Roosevelt, Secretary TAFT
Chairman Shonts, OF the canal commits
sion. and other men prominently iden-
tilted with the canal work are known
to have delayed employing Chinese un-
til it became evident that the other
help available was not equal to the de-
msnds. The administration has taken
the position that the canal must be dug
at any cost, and, although the presi-
dent urges that there be no haste in
employing Chinese, be did not stand

1t ia the intention OF the commission
to ask for bids from labor agents who
will arrange with the Chinese govern
ment for the expectation OF labor, trans

contract to work for fixed wage and
ship them back to China, thus reliev'
