rate from Iowa points to Chicago, Dut
does have Jurisdiction over the rates
between two Iowa points. The natural
thought of the commission at first Is
that IL a Accent rate is enough to Chi
cago. then about two-thifds Of that
ought to be sufficient to carry the
shipment from Webster City to Du-
buque. Mr. Ketchum is gathering the
data in the case, and at the first meet
ing of the commission it will be taken
up In the meantime it is learned that
because of the question being raised on
the shipment from Webster City to
Dubuque and Chicago all the railroads
in the state. with the exception Of the
Illinois Central, have decided to put
the matter on distance tariff basis, so
as to be perfectly fair to all creameries.
The rate is believed by creamery men
to be sufficiently low to be just. ;.

New York, Oct. >19.-Further detalls
OF the Cuban tornado. received in ad-
vices from Havana by the New York
Evening Telegram, are to the effect
that ninety-four Of the fatalities were
confined to natives. while sixteen for
eisn residents are reports killed. More
than . thousand tents in Camp Col
umbia have been blown to atoms,
houses unroofed, and one trooper
probably fatally hurt. Fortunately the
storm gave everybody about half
hours warning, and when the blast
arrived the marines on shore had
sought shelter in the warships. AL
hut the. Brooklyn rode out the storm.
These ships included the Minneapolis,
Texas, I,enver and Prairie.
Buildings Shaken Like Earthquake.
When the tempest reached its height
the buildings were shaken as with an
earthquake. Street cars were washed
! from their tracks. windows blown in
like paper, and roofs and doors swept
away. Several of the smaller frame
houses were blown down and their
foundations wrecked.
These were situated in the poorer
y districts and were the cause Of SO many
deaths among the natives. It is fear
ed that great loss Of life has occur
ed in the interior. especially in Pinar
Del Rio. and on the island of Arte-
naesia. The wind is estimated to have
blown at rate Of eighty miles an
q hour.
Grsat Damage TO Shipping.
The greatest money losses will come
from damage to shipping. Great waves
engulfe.d about thirty-five lighters at
anchor In the harbor. They were
smashed against the wharves. It is
estimated the loss of life and damage
would have ben greater had it not been
for the timely warning given by Faith
er Lowe, at Gunotti. He is noted
weather observer of Berlin College. He
teleph0ned to Camp Columbia at 1890
o'clock. one hour before the storm de-
scended, that cyclone was coming,
and his warning was Immediately
needed.
Western Union Gets Advices.
The Western Union Havana office
reports the storm there as very se-
vere Much damage was done to ship
ping tn the harbor. Many trees were
uprooted.
Florida Still Isolated.
New York, Oct. 19.-Havana and
southern Florida are still isolated, 80
far as wire communication was con-
cerned at an early hour today. Late
reports from the storm, which cut off
wire communication. were that 1t had
left the south Florida coast and head
ed out TO sea. In this city and vicin-
ity, precursors Of the hurricane were
abnornaily high tides. "a, fresh breeze
and rain.
At II o'clock no word had been re-
ceived from Havana. Reports from
Florida indicate that the hurricane
was furious along the southeast coast.

Mines, Mills and Mining.

Custer county is one of the richest mining sections in the world,
but at present it needs better transportation, and capital to develop
its rich mining districts. In some states and territories mining
and agriculture, though progressing hand in hand, are yet nearly
independent of each other. The farmers market is widened bv
the miner, to be sure but. not relying on home consumption ex
clusively, he can exist and prosper, but in this county the miner
and farmer depend upon each other to a great extent. Let us for
a moment call the attention of the capitalist to some of the most
important mining districts and mines in the county, viz Mackay,
with its great copper mines; Morgan creek; Garden creek lead and
silver mines; Bayhorse district with IFS famous Ramshorn. Skylark
and dozens of rich ead-silver and gold bearing mines; Poverty
Flat; Centennial Flat; East Fork; Clayton; Slate creek; Thompson
creek; Robinson Bar; Stanley Basin, with placer and quartz; Fish
er gold mines; Sheep Mountain and Seafoam, with their hundreds
OF rich leadslver minesi Loon creek, placer and gold quartz min
IS; Washington Basin gold mines; and the celebrated Yankee Fork
district, which is goldsiver ores, and embraces within its confines
hundred of mines, the most prominent producers at this time being
the Lucky Boy and Yankee Fork. Custer county also has several
quartz mills and smelters-fve quartz mills at Custer; a dredge
ooat and mill OF Stanley; a smeter at Clayton ;concentrator at Bay
horse, and a new sOOton smelter at Mackay. In Custer county has
nearly 5000 located mining claims, and yet the vast region has not
been half prospected.

Agriculture and Stock Raising.

Agriculture ably supplements the mining industry in enriching
this county. The Salmon river. rising in the Sawtooth mountains
north of Wood river, enters on its southwestern border, and pur.
suing a zigzag course in a general north-easterly direction, receiv-
Is the waters Of ten large creeks besides the East Fork. These
streams, together with Lost river ana its tributaries, flow through
thousand Of acres Of arabic land still uncultivated. Since the hand
Of man is forced to supply what nature ~withholds, irrigation takes
the place of rain; and the water that annually goes to waste would
make verdant fruitful valleys out of deserts, would convert the
the silence of desoaton into the sounds from many homes. Agri-
culture, like al other industries of the county, is in its infancy.
The time is not distant when large irrigating canals will be taken
out of Salmon river, which has an endless water supply, and many
thousands of acres of rich sagebrnsh land along the river will be
reclaimed. The farms of this county produce wonderful yields of
hay, oats. wheat, potatoes, etc, per acre, and large crops are
harvested each year.
Stock-growingi IS one of leading industries of the county, and
with the usually mild winters in the valleys and excellent summer
ranges, has become a very remunerative industry, and the county
each year derives its largest amount of revenues in the way OF
taxes each year IRON the stock-growers.

Custer county, Idaho, offers vast Inducements to settlers and
capitalists. Its beautiful scenery, its enterprising people, its var
led resources, and its brilliant prospects not inaptly commemorate
the name of General Custer, whose dashing, romantic, yet produc
tive career has become a part of our national history. Thirty-6ve
years ago, whom placer mining was in its prime and quartz mining
in its infancy, the territory now embraced in its confines was
known only to Indians and an occasional party of prospectors
travelling to or from Montana. To them q wilderness, to the max
ers of maps it was UNEMPLOYED" In 1862 placers were actively
worked in Stanley Basin, on what is now our western border and
In 1870 other placers were discovered and yielded handsomely, but
forming Custer county was practically unknown. From 1875 to
1879, the fame of its rich mines spread Notwithstanding capital
lists and increasing its population-untl the following year, by
legislative enactment, Custer county was created. and has jhrived
since that time, until today it has a population of 5000 people,

and returned to Winnemucca. Brake

Drs. Samuels and Mangam upon arriv-
al of the train
Conductor Baker was then questioned
in regard to the cattle guard. He stat
ed that the standard measurement for
cattle guards to be distant from the
track was three feet, but that in iis
judgment this particular guard was not
that far off. He also stated that it
would be impossible for man to stand
between the guard and passing train
But that man standing on the side
ladder could have easily passed the
guard.
He stated that it was not customary
for brakeman to examine hot box
while the train was moving, but that il
was often done.
Juror Jarvis then asked witness f
it were possible for a man to discover
a hot box without getting down at the
side of a train, and the reply was that
the only other indication would be the
odor of burning oil.
Other witnesses were examined but
their testimony did not add important
evidence. The jury then deliberated and
after a short interval brought in the
verdict as printed above.
