KoNRoHAT MINE rs
BONDED FOR $50, 600

KoNRoHAT MINE rs
BONDED FOR s15o,ooo
1t is stated that the Konrohat mine
in Jefferson canon has been bonded in
the amount of $780, 900 by a syndicate
of California and eastern capitalists
and a substantial first payment made as
an earnest of their good faith. There
are sixteen claims in the acreage and
on all of them the lodges carry a gen.
eral mineral average of from $11 to $40
the ton. The values are in horn silver
and gold and the rock is readily amen
able to amalgamation by first roasting
it. The new owners contemplate erect
ing a plant of that character at the
mine.
Konrohat located the claims 33 years
ago and since that time has each year
performed the requisite amount of
work to hold them intact. He has like
wise performed a vast amount of de-
velopment work and has done SO prac-
tically alone and unaided. In winters
chill and summers heat he has labored
~steadfastly and without complaint, and
now at the age of so is about to reap
the benefit of his perseverance. During
the long years which have passed since
liz OiOAG HIS III 0LdhES Ol tllC
property his beard and hair have whit
ened beneath the hoary and of time,
but he still retains the virility of youth
and looks forward with all the enthu-
siamu of a boy to the enjoyment of the
wealth so long delayed.
In the interval that has elapsed since
he entered the canon a man of 81 years,
he has opened up the estate by almost
numberless prospects and deeper shafts.
has driven a tunnel a distance of over
500 feet on a ledge and from the main
ledge has run out many crosscuts. BY
these means he has demonstrated the
fact that there are hundreds of thou
sands of tons of ore in sight in the
property and that it is easily worth the
price for which he has bonded it.
Konrohat is a typical ~prospector of
Nevada's bonanza silver age. Straight
as an arrow, agile as a boy of twenty,
he makes a striking picture with his
snow white hair and beard, and withal
is about as fine a specimen of manhood
as one is likely to meet up with during
this earthly pilgrimage. His honesty
and integrity are as sterling as the
metal he has mined for all these years,
and his character is as rugged and I'M
assailable as the eternal hills among
which he lives. Hundreds of prospec-
tors have shared the frugal fare of his
h~ospitable board, and now that he has
made his 'winnin" there are none but
wish him many years of enjoyment of
his pile"

PARKER ADDRESSES LAWYERS
Scores "New Laws" Habit Ia Bar As
ISOLATION epeeeh.

st. Paul, Mimi, Aug. 31.-The Amer
lean Bar association assembled in the
house Of representatives chamber Of
the state capitol Thursday and lis
tened to the annual address of Alton
B. Parker. Mr.. Parker's subject was
1.-THE Congestion of the Laws"
Few questions have been more dis
cussed during recent years than the
increasing tendency of legislative
bodies to propose and to enact new
laws" said Mr.. Parker. Scarcely any
agitation of public or a moral cues
ton is 80 unimportant that it does not
produce, in nearly half hundred state
capitols series of bills supposed to
represent It in all Its varied and shift
ing phases.
1T has become far more common to
look for new law for the punishment
Of an old offense or for defining anew
the relations Of individuals to each
other than it Is to invoke those powers
or remedies by which, over many CEN
turtles, men have been able to punish
crimes against society or to settle
their own differences.
And yet every man who has had
occasion to study the question. even
in Its narrower bearings, has been
forced to conclude that but small
percentage Of proposed new enact
ments involves new principle or
even new policy"

MAY ENLARGE PANAMA LOCKS
CONSULTING ENGINEERS, PLANS
LIKELY TO BE FAVORED.
Change Would Accommodate Vessels
Of 1,000-Foot Lengths-The
Cement Problem.

Washington. Aug. s1.-Looks for the
Panama canal probably will be built
according to the dimensions recon-
mended by the majority of the consult
ing board of engineers, which favored
the construction of sea-level water
way, instead of the smaller type
planned by the minority of the board.
Under this change of programme the
locks would be 100 feet wide, with
disable lengths of 1000 feet The plans
adopted by congress provide for locks
95 feet wide, with disable lengths of
900 feet. With this exception, 1t is
said, the minority plans will be fol-
lowed.
The larger locks will require much
greater amount Of concrete work and
the commission has not yet deter
mined just how much cement will
have to be purchased. Engineer Stew
ems estimated the amount at 1880 car
loads. AS the climate of the Isthmus
of Panama is such that cement cannot
be kept in good condition for more
than three OF four months, the prob
lem of shipping is OF no little concern
to the commission. which points out
that as the facilities for shipping from
England to the isthmus are better
than from the United States and the
foreign price frequently has been
found to be below the domestic price
it is not unlikely that the greater part
OF this gigantic contract may be given
to foreign dealers. 1t will be about
two years before the work of con.
structing the locks will be begun. The
association of cement manufacturers
in the United States has shown con
siderable activity in getting more ad
vantageous shipping facilities between
the isthmus and ports on the coast
of the United States, and may there
fore be prepared to compete with for
| eign cement.

IHEFTS OF NIPPLE AMAZE
SENSATION AT PHILADELPHIA
OVER STOLEN SECURITIES,
Revelation Blow to Church Friends
of Dead President of Trust
Company.

Philadelphia, Sept. 1.-The state
ment OF Receiver Earle, of the Real
Estate Trust company, that Frank K.
Nipple, the late president of the con-
Germ, had stolen securities valued at.
$4,000 and that the lending of s5,000,-
900 to Adolph Segal on insufficient Sc
curity amounted to theft, created a
sensation throughout the city Friday.
The revelation was blow to Hip
pies many intimate friends, most Of
whom are prominent In the Presby-
terian church, either as clergymen Or
laymen. So high was their esteem for
the man, who abhorred tobacco and
liquor and refrained from reading Sun
day papers, that not only the various
organizations in the Presbyterian
church made the trust company their
depository, but hundreds of members
of that denomination placed their
money in his company.
The number of pastors who used
the bank for their savings was excep-
tionally large. Most of them refused
to entertain the theory that Nipple
ended his life and it was difficult to
make them believe that his secret
operations were as irregular as they
are alleged to be. In addition to his
church work Mr. Nipple took an ac-
tive interest in reform politics and is
| said to have been heavy contributor
| to the reformers' campaign funds in
| last years notable contest in this
| city.
Criticism of the failure of the d.
rectors of the company to discover
/ Nipples transactions has increased,
and many of the larger creditors are
angry at what they term the negli,
gence Of these men. There is pend,
ing before the local courts an appli
cation for the appointment of a co
receiver who shall directly represent
the depositors and inform them OF
the true condition of the company.

steadily going forward. The question
Of the possibility of complications aris-
ing owing to the enlistment of foreign
ers was, it is claimed, settled Friday
by the foreign recruits signing an
agreement which provides that they
only enlist for the purpose of suppress
ing the insurrection, and do not enter
the regular Cuban services as SOL
diers.
No Rejoicing Over Victory.
The victory of the government
forces at Campo Florida, 90 miles east
of Havana, Thursday resulting in the
loss of 20 men killed for the insurgents,
has not caused the rejoicing here
which might have been expected, as
the men slain have relatives and
friends here. Besides, the dominating
sentiment in the country is anti-gov-
eminent and in the cities as we'll as in
the rural districts there are number
of people who are waiting the develop
ments Of events before declaring them
selves for or against the insurrsction.
The authorities of several Of the
Cuban cities have caused the erection
OF earthworks as protection against
insurgent attacks.
The governor Of Santiago has re-.
ceived reports of rising at Songo. 20
miles from Santiago. He has been
unable to ascertain how many men
have taken up arms there, but he de,
spatched a force of mounted rural
guards shortly before midnight Thurs
day to Songo on a special train. 1t is
rumored that the veteran colonel, Car
los Dubois, is at the head of the Songo
insurgents but this has not been con-
frmed.
