ON PALMETTO

G. w. Hays. of this city. who with
Joh~ Cook. o. PARK City. has interests
al Palmetto, consisting of four claims
anC two fractions between the Stimler
ans Dixon properties returned Monday
FROM a visit to the new camp.
"The Palmetto district" said Mr..
HAYS, has all the earmarks of making
a permanent camp. / visited about ten
leases being operated on the Dixon
property n the Stimler claims and All
OF them seemed TO nave good ore. The
men operating these leases are all busy
aud are sinking their shafts as rapidly
as possible. I consider the showing
made by the scant development very

SIGNS fail. The Lodges on top do not APP
pear to be large, but with depth they
arc ~broadenins out and appear to IN
crease in value. About the deepest
working is 40 feet. and at all the pros
poets I visited paintings showed heavy
concentrates. The formation on this
side of the Hill is Of a blue lime schist
and slate. Proceeding over the hill 1t
comes into the granite. The veins crop
out at the SURFACE ana many OF tHS-t
show what is apparently shipping ore.
over the hill ON the Dixon ground the
veins appear to get a little larger. There
are other people in the district besides
those named who nave good properties.
Many old miners are interested in the
adjoining claims and all are quite en-
thusiastic over the showing. I should
say that in the vicinity of Gold Horn,
which is about three miles over the hill
from Palmetto twenty pros
poets have been opened up within a
radius of 2h miles. The richest ore in
the camp is in hematite. A lumber
yard is being established and there are
between 800 and 400 people in the dis
trict."

European Houses.

LONDON. Feb. 24.-According to a
reliable dispatch from Durham. some
light has been thrown on the recent
unrest among the natives BIZ the eyi-
denoe given at the trial OF three natives
who were proved to be rank impostoTs.
They represented that they had been
sent by Dini Zulu with orders that the
natives should kill all their pigs, should
not occupy houses built in the European
fashion. should wear only native dress,
should not touch anything of European
make and should not traverse any
roads made by the white man. They
stated that these orders were due to the
poll tax act. and added that Dini Zulu
possessed two cannons, one being an
aerial one. to assist him TO fight, and
that ten messengers had come from
Besutoiand TO Dini Zulu IN connection
with the projected war on the whites

the canal, which had ruined so many
thousand families here. there were

America is going to surprise the world.

the scandals which seem inevitable in
any large undertaking.
In the light of today's events, the

fully dug the Suez canal and who
would undoubtedly have finished the
Panama canal rad he undertaken that

EUROPEANS SAFE IN PEkIN
No Sign There of Venting on For

EUROPEANS SAFE IN PEKIN

LONDON, Feb. 24,-The foreign news
papers published at Shanghai. Hong
kong. and Tientsin continue to dwell
upon the unusual tension of feeling be-
tween Chinese and foreigners. They IN
duIge in predictions Of a conflict. and
write Of the growth Of the antI-foreign
sentiment.
There are no indications. however, at
the surface of a feeling OF hostility to-
ward Europeans in Pekin. Open agi-
tation against foreigners is confined to
central and southern China, and any
troubles which occur may be confined
10 those sections of the country as Box
erism was limited TO the north.
National Spirit Stronger.
All China IS undoubtedly at q white
heat of political discussion. and state
of unrest prevails which has seldom
been experienced before. No organized
movement against the foreigners. except
the American boycott. can be discov-
cred. bait the national spirit is growing
stronger.
There is a growing suspicion that the
Chinese government. realizing the pos
sibility Of open rebellion against its own
shortcomings, is attempting to blame
the foreigners in advance for a future
revolution OF which Europe and Euro
.peans will be entirely innocent.
Younger Ones Impatient.
The discomfort against the govern
ment is outspoken among the young and
progressive Chinese, as Is their opposi-
tion to foreign encroachments. They
are too impatient to give the govern
ment's attempts at reform the trial of
time, but Clamor for the government to
