Talk Of Reforming vigi|antes
in San Francisco
MAYOR OPPOSES THE ACTION
Reign Of Terror by Holdups Fore.
es Citizens to Organize
for Protection

SAN FRANCISCO Oct 13.-Prelim-
mary to the great mass meeting Of
citizens this afternoon to form COM
mittee on public safety, the committee
met this morning to select a hartman
whose duty it will be to name a COM
mittee of 100. .eqs !
The plan in general will be informally
discussed and acting mayor Gala
gher's position considered, the mayor
having. declared he could not permit
the committee on safety to usurp po-
lice powers.
There seems to be a division of sem
timent among the leaders of the move-
ment. some advocating vigorous meas
ures, which some affect to believe
means lynching the thugs when
caught, while others stand for coali-
ton with the police.
1t can be safely predicted, however.
the latter plan will win as only a
small minority favors vigilant organiz-
alton, such as ruled and cleaned up the
city in the days of the gold excite
ment.
The determination Of the committee
of safety to investigate the collusion
of the police with the thugs is unshak-
en- and it is claimed proof of this is
already secured.
Protection resorts frequented by
crooks are also being looked into.
Offers of financial support in the
to rid the city of thugs are
coming from many parts of the state,
Fresno, Eureka, Sacramento, San Jose
and Santa Cruz already having been
heard from.

FIERCE BATTLE WITH FLAMES
Civ Firemen and Soldiers Fight
Under Handicap of Low

In a spectacular fire, threatening
for a time to destroy thousands OF
dollars worth of government build
ings Troop Els stable quarters at
Fort Walla Walla were burned to the
ground shortly after noon today.

in the barn. They were gotten, out
with difficulty. Two horses were bad
Iy scorched, but will not be rendered
unfit for service.
Equipment is Burned.
Equipment consisting of saddles
blankets and two rigs could not be
saved and were burned.
Officers interviewed said they were
at a loss to account for the origin of
the fire, but the opinion was advanced
that matches carelessly dropped In
the straw had been ignited by mice.
The interior of the big barn was all
on fire when first discovered by SEN
try who gave the alarm. A telephone
message was sent into the central
fire station for help and Chief Metz
with the steamer and eight fireman
made a quick run to the fort.
Low Water Pressure.
The steamer was planted near Troop

OLD LODI DISTRICT
SHOWING NEW LIFE

What seems destined to be another
boom is the Lodi district situate in the
northern part Of Nye county. some %
miles southeast of Fairview. There is
In the Lodi district at the present date
40 or so claims under location. the prin-
cipal owners of these being Norris &
stratford. Awkward. Geopp. Reed,
Arthur and Bibson. Morris & Stratford
being the pioneers of the district, have
put down a shaft ZOE feet on their prop
erty, which la known as the Jumbo. The
vein is a true assure being 3 feet wide on
the surface and increasing to s feet wide
on the 1o0-foot. level. Assays taken
throughout while sinking gave values
ranging from $40 upward to 800. At
the 4O-foot level samples were taken,
some of which ran as high as So ounces
gold and III ounces in silver. Adjoin-
ing this property is the Afternoon
group owned by Whitmore. Aylward &c
Geopp from which they are extracting
considerable ore at the present time
The vein on this Afternoon group IS
traceable for some 1900 feet n where
the shaft is being sunk is about one foot
nIuC III IA
at a depth of 10 feet. About one and a
half tons of ore rave been extracted while
sinking and assays taken from this ore
show values as follows: &543.8S, s616.60.
s6O9.6O and 21.7 per cent copper, this
being the class of ore that Is ready for
sacking. These parties now have a
windlass and the other properties are
continuing sinking to determine the
width of the ledge at a greater depth
and to find out just how the values hold
out.
The property of Arthur, Gibson and
Reed have a clearly defined surface
showing, as well as the property owned
by LIE Fevre. In all there are some %
claims at the present date on which
they are getting a fine surface showing,
as well as big paintings. The formation
of this district is ~granitoid and por-
phyry. The veins seem to be a true fis-
sure and when it is taken into cousid-
Grafton that the old Illinois mine stu
ated in the same range some three or
four miles distant from these proper
ties has been working for the past 10 or
Is years and have now at the 500-foot
level some Z feet of high grade ore. it is
very evident that this district will have
a furry in the near future. The Illinois
mine is owned by Wolfe and associates
Of Colorado and in the early days the
ore was hoisted from a depth of $50 feet
by a windlass and was smelted on the
ground, giving big returns to the own
ers; in fact, the net production after
mining at such a cost was something
near a half million dollars. The people
Of Fairview are somewhat excited re-
garding this Lodi country and many are
going southwark to look over the dis
trict.

CONTROVERSY BETWEEN THE
RED TOP AND ANTELOPE

The parties in interest in the con-
troversy over the strike at Round Noun
tain from which the sensational speci-
mems spoken of recently were obtained,
were all week attempting to come to
some agreement o IN a give and take
basis, but without satisfactory results.
Representatives from both sides
of the controversy. Messrs. Col
burn and Hughey for the Round Noun
tain Red Top and Messrs. Rogers and
Mcintosh for the Antelope visited the
property. 1t was agreed that a new line
should be run corresponding With the
original field notes, and which should
determine the ground. This was done,
and the Red Top people declare that
the general location of the discovery of
the specimens was within their ground,
while Antelope claimants declared that
the particular location of the discovery
of the large specimen was on their
ground. A tentative agreement was
reached that a vertical shaft should be
run down from the side line, and that
each company would ave the ore in it's
own ground. This would forever OBJ
viate any future e~xtra-latera disputes,
such as apex rights. etc.
When the Red Top people returned to
Goldfeld, some of the owners in this
property refused to acquiesce in this
arrangement, claiming that they had
the apex of the vein and were not called
upon to surrender any of their rights to
the Antelope people. Representatives of
the Red Top company again returned to
Round Mountain for a REORGANIZATION.
AS a result they came back to Gold
field thoroughly satisfied that they had
the apex of the vein within their terri
tory, and all negotiations along this line
of compromise were called off. A new
discovery was made on this same ledge
80 feet within the sidelines of the claim
as the ledge struck across an angle of
about 45 degrees. The ledge was
stripped 2h feet deep for a distance of
80 feet and showed the same sensational
grade of ore as in the
original strike. This ledge also seems
to cross the Antelope claim. This being
the case. the controversy seems to hinge
more upon the possession of the partic-
ular specimens than upon the funda-
mental proposition of the possession of
the ledge itself. The Red Top people
say lHey Will pToCSSu " Woih thcil
ground and let future developments and
the law of the land determine their
rights. This controversy between rep
resentatives of the Red Top and tn,
Antelope has assumed an acrid aspect
at times, and many people have taken
sides. The News in This matter rs in
all others has tri,d to oe entirely inn
partial and fair, being interested only
in conveying to the public the news, en-
tirely free of pre- iuGice or feeling.

wing of the most unstinted praise.
Our First Authority studies the
economic crisis and makes plain
that it has ITS origin in the decaden-
ce of the coffee industry.
In paragraphs of convincing logic,
the writer states the effect produced
on the colonial population by the
ruin of its most important industry,
and he observes that though it may
be true that the development of the
sugar industry has been partial re-
medy for the crisis, it has not been
a solution of the problem, because
the raising of coffee is an industry
peculiarly suitabl for Porto Ri
CO, and as he goes on to say; upon
the future of this product depends
the prosperity or poverty of very
great section of the country"
He approves the necessity of a ia
riff being established for the protec-
tioH of this grain, and skaters the
selfish contention that the American
people would be made martyrs were
such tariff Legislation enacted. We
quote the exact language of the Go
vernon: objection has been made
that such a duty would compel
a large portion of the inhabitants
OF the United States TO contribute
TO the benefit of the few. as Porto
Rico can at best supply but a small
percentage of the coffee consumed.
The Philippines and Hawaii could,
however, add greatly to this supply.
All we'll wishers of Porto Rico are
therefore qnXiOusly hoping for leg
lslatlon by Congress looking to
the encouragement of this indust-
try"
Mr.. Winthrop believes that the
|abrogatiOn of the law limiting the
amount Of lands which may be ac-
CURED by corporations in the Island
would result in immediate benefit,
but, he adds, however advantageous
such action of Congress would be,
1T is by no means the Legislation
most necessary lOr the future of
the Island. 1t is far more essential
that the coffee of our tropical pos
sessions receive the stimulus of
protective duty.
Has anything on a par with this
ever been said by any Of our
former incumbents of the high
est post in the InsuIar government
Has anything equal to this-or
