Special Correspondence
Manhattan, New. June 26.-Since Jack
Humphrey discovered gold on the Aprli
Fool claim, about a year ago. many
wonderful strikes have been made IN
Manhattan. which is evidenced By the
fact that 10 HOSTS have been ordered
TO work the mines al this camp. Eight
are now On operation and 1--WE are IN
the course Of construction. The min
erllized belt has steadily Widened I'M
I'll today % Is seven miles from east %
west, and 20 miles north and south,
aud the hardy prospectors are looking
for the precious metals even beyond
these bounds, with very good success.
Strikes Of fabulously rich ore have
been made The Manhattan Consolldat-
ed has yielded some wonderfully rich
specimens. one, the size OF pigeons
egg. was taken from the Manhattan
Cowboy a short time ago that weighed
S20S In gold. The Manhattan Mother
Lode and Consolidated Extension have
produced this. and some OF the finest
paintings OF free gold have been taken
from the ore Ot these properties ~

$50 TO 400 feet in width. and many SAM
pies Of ore running On the neighbour
hood Of $4,000 to the ton have been
taken out 40 different points.
Another example Of the extent 81 this
wonderfully rich ore belt is cited by
t1s rich free gold specimens that have
been taken from the Gcorgey group
Of the Manhattan Nevada Gold Mines
company located 40 Central. two miles
west OF Manhattan, and fully six miles
from the Manhattan Mammoth. Sim

NEW TOWN DECLINES
TO Be STRANGL Ed"
Citizens of Yahota Petition ths
Railway Company for
Change of Name.
DID NOT KNOW MEANING
Indian Name Given to New Town on
M. and St. l.. Extension Means
ITO Strangle," and Peoals
Fear Hoodoo.

Watertown, S. d., Nov. 5.-Declinips
to be 'strangled," citizens of the new
town of Yahota, on the extension of
the Minneapolis and ST. Louis railroad
from this city to Aberdeen, have petit
toned the railway company and the
postof1ice department to change the
name, the fear being entertained that
some sort of a hoodooo is attached to
the name.
Frank w. Lyon, of this city, who
spent number of years on the Chey-
enne Indian reservation as chief of po-
lice, and who is we'll versed in the Sioux
language, has called the attention of
the townspeople of Yahota that the
name, in the Indian language, means
ito strangle." The railway officials did
not know the meaning when it was CIV
en- the new town. and as they are as
much interesed in the growth of the
