RUSH TO NEW GOLD CAMP.
M a n h attain, New, Jumps From
Population of 20 to 1000 in
n Week

One day a mountain valley with 20
inhabitants, in a week mining camp of
1000 people-that is the story of Man
haitian, so miles northeast of Goldfield,
Nevada. The streets of Goldfield look
deserted. a low estimate places the
exodus to the new fields from Goldfield
alone at 1000.
Two hundred dollars day is being
offered for autos by those anxious to
reach the camp in a hurry. Hundreds
of teams line the two roads to the latest
camp. Last Friday a crowded stage
tipped over, killed the driver and slightly
injured several passengers. The life at
the new camp is strenuous. There is no
law or order.
The tremendous surface finds have
made men hysterical. Lots have jumped
in price from S25 to $500. Meals are
away up. A bath IN a round tin tub
costs SO. Saloons are making hundreds
of dollars day, and at night space is
sold on the floors for sleeping
when w. F. Bond came into camp with
samples glittering with gold. Selected
specimens assayed S1S0,000 The first
property sold yesterday for $4,000 cash
on its surface showing.
Manhattan is a poor mans camp. The
gold is free and is obtained on the sur
face with little work. The greatest
showing of free gold ever found in
Nevada is credited to this camp. 1t is
not known whether values continue to
any depth, but Goldfield, Tonopah and
Bullfrog have been deserted by the
entire surplus mining population who
have joined in this latest gold rush
across the desert.

Want John w. ketcham Pardoned

a movement is in progress in Addison
county to petition President Roosevelt
for pardon for John w. Ketcham now
serving a seven years sentence at the
Addison County Jail for completely with
cashier David II. Lewis in wrecking the
Farmers National Bank of Vergennes.
Ketchum was given the same sentence
as Lewis, and he has already served five
years. Claiming he was a tool of Lewis
and did as the latter bid, his friends believe
that he was made scapegoat for the
sins of others, and many of the business
men of the county are said to favor his
pardon, on the ground that he has al
ready been punished sufficiently.

FRANCE AND WORLDS GOLD
Gain in Amount Of Bank Holdings
in Europe in the Last
Year.

1t has been pointed out that while
nine great European banks now hold
$1,S10000,000 gold, against only 81,
75O,OOOO00 year ago, the same banks
held in October 1890, when the Boer
war was just beginning, only $1,407,'
DOC, 200. AS compared with year ago,
the Bank of France has gained SOL.
100000 gold, and the Bank of Russia
Excluding it's credit balances abroad)
$27,00O,000, the other banks having lost
heavily or remained practically I'M
changed.
Which of these banks have benefited
most in the S403, 100000 total increase
in gold reserves since 1899? The ques.
ton has some bearing on the existing
situation. and the results of the com.
parson are rather startling. The Bank
of England, despite this enormous
total increase in the European stock
of gold, actually holds $4,000 900 less
than it did in October, 1899 The Bank
of France, on the other hand, holds
20Q,000,000 more. The rest of the
increase in sums of $4,000, 900 to $50.
000,0 each, is distributed between the
banks of Russia, Italy, Germany, Aus
tria and Holland.
This throws an odd light on the
continued increase over last year. in
the case of the Bank of France. How
does it command this gold? Russia
sells bonds and pledges its public
credit for what it gets, and the United
States. where the New York banks
have gained $43,0OO,OOO gold since Oc-
tober 1S99-not to mention the treas
ury's great hoards-has drawn the gold
by its enormous expansion of credit
resources and productive energy But
France, of all great financial straits,
has virtually stood still during the six
year period.
The only obvious explanation is that
as England for years gained power
over the worlds markets by its monop.
oily of manufacture and its maritime
transportation profits, so France, since
the Boer war started. has secured a
similar power by its monopoly Of ready
capital and its profits as a lender.

RACE SUICIDE IN ENGLAND
There Is Imminent Danger to the
Empire from Decreased
Birth Rate.

England's birth rate is declining 1t
toucaed its highest point. since regis
tration began in 1898. in 1876 To-day
it is at its lowest. The children of the
most prolific mothers-those of 1876
are the most unproductive mothers.
The reason assigned for the frightful
decline is the decay of the maternal
instinct" Only IS per cent as many
little ones see the light now. or remain
in it. as saw it 80 years ago. No one
factor, however, can account for the
entire falling off
The fact is there are many causes.
Notably among the most prominent is
the advanced age at which persons
marry and the fact that a great many
never marry. Previous 10 1876 the mar
riage rate was 16 to liz per 1000. To-
day il is 1512 The claim made for
years by leading economists that pOpu-
latioa was supposed to vary with the
food supply is being doubted. 1t fails
to mold good in England, for at no
time in the past was food so cheap or
so abundant as it is to-day
Possibly. says one writer. rent. the
rates and taxes have more to do with
the question than the price of wheat"
The fact of the matter is. the question
is beyond the best men in the empire.

to the highest. In the fight for first
place that is on. it means. or may
mean, a great deal to England whethe-

always contine his warning tactics to
