CLIFFORD MINE SALE HUNG UP
Indian Who Found the Big Ledge
Sues for Promised Interest
in the Mine.

A quarter -milion-dollar deal involv-
ing the sale of the Clifford mine and
townsite at Clifford, Nye County. 45
miles from Tonopah, to Pittsburg peo-
pie. has been tied up by suit entered
in the Nye County District Court by
Indian Johnnie Peavine, Shoshone.
who claims that he and his squaw.
Minnie, are entitled to a half interest
in the big property.
According to the complaint. Edward
Clifford and J. W. Clifford last year
went ON a prospecting tour with the
Indian and his squaw, who claimed to
know where there was a rich ledge.
The alleged agreement was that each
of the four should share equally with
the others in all property located.
The Indian says that when they
reached what is now called Clifford he
located and pointed out the Clifford
mine ledge. which was located in the
names of the white men. He says
that he insisted for many weeks after
ward that he be given deed to the
one-half interest held by himself and
squaw, and that finally he was given
note executed by the Cliffords. in which
they agreed to pay him and hi' squaw
the sum of $1,000. The Indian still
holds possession of this note. which he
says was given to him under the pre-
tense of being deed.
The deal between the Cliffords AMI
the Pittsburg people who are buying
the mine will remain open until the
Courts have passed on the matter.

COOLIES WANT GATES OPEN
Says Chinese Boycott Is Solely
to Force Repeal of U. S.
Exclusion Law.

Twenty-Five million Chinese laborers
in the interior Of China are waiting for
the bars to be let down so that they
may come to the United States, accord
ing to Charles DENLY, chief clerk Of the
State Department, who a few days ago
addressed the subcommittee OF the
House Committee on Foreign Affairs at
the opening hearing on the Foster bill
amending the Chinese Exclusion. Law.
AS DENLY spent many years in China,
to which country his father was United
States Minister, his declaration caused
a deep impression.
Discussing the present boycott OF
American goods by Chinese, DENLY
said that its purpose now was solely to
force the repeal of the exclusion laws,
and that the Chinese people would
never be satisfied until this was done.
He appealed to the Committee not to
make the laws less stringent. earnestly
asserting that, in would be better to
sacrifice all the trade the United States
had or hoped to obtain from China
than that this country should recede
from its present attitude.

Kongo Free State. According 10 these
statements, the name OF this African
country is most Ill chosen, for its In
habitants are said TO be TIE chattels
Of a despot who trafiics IN their blood
with cold indifference more becoming
a Nero than ruler of this enlightened

Belgian government itself brought out
such damaging facts that the immedl

who, it is stated, had but carried out
his masters commands, committed sui
eide as soon as he learned what the
report was to be. Great Britain has
taken up the matter, and II Is believed
that the acts of King Leopold's agents

powers are much circumscribed. Nc
act of his can have any effect unless
countersigned by one of his ministers,
and for whatever the king does his
ministers are responsible. He is very
democratic in his habits and often
mingles in crowds without his identity
being discovered. In Paris, however,
the striking figure of this ruler IL
pretty well known. The king once
grew quite Indignant because Tod

to accept some fried potatoes in a
