BOARD TAKES UP GREAT BEND

The turn of the wheel in the local

Bend stock up yesterday. Great Bend
is in the GoldfieId district. Last month
il was selling at 81 cents a share. It
sold at the morning session of the
board yesterday at sI70 a share, and
the brokers shouted themselves hoarse
about it.
The rise in Great Bend was the
feature of the day. The Comstocks
broke. Goldfeld stocks were strong.
Tonopah showed less strength. The
volume of business was great, is it
has been every day recently. The
exchange was filled with interested
spectators continuously from $3.50 a. m.
until the closing hour

NEW TRAIN SERVICE BETWEEN
SAN FRANCISCO AND PORTLAND
Southern Pacific Adopting New Sched-
uIes on Three Routes That VIII Go
Into Effect Next Week

The prosperity of California is strik-
ingly reflected by the increased service
of the Southern Pacific Company, each of
its three routes having been given new
interstate trains within a period of six
ty days.
The new train service between San
Francisco and Portland is effective on
the 21st inst. This will give service of
three trains daily each way between
San Francisco and Portland. The new
train is to leave San Francisco at $40
o. M 1t will have frst-class tourist
sleepers and dining car, including a
as San Francisco. It will arrive at
Portland the next evening at 1880
o'clock Its route will be via the west
side of the Sacramento Valley through
Davis and Woodland, and the scenery of
the Mount Shasta region and the Sis
kiyous will be passed by daylight. 1t is
anticipated that a great deal of the
travel heretofore using the o'clock
evening train from San Francisco Will
patronize the new train.
In the opposite direction it is planned
to have the new train leave Portland
at II p. m, and arrive at San Francisco,
via the west side of the Sacrament o
Valley, at GAS a. m. The Sacramento
Valley and the towns of Corning, Co
greatly benefited by the new service.
1t will give them a morning train to
San Francisco and Sacramento and an
afternoon train from those cities home
"a service not heretofore enjoyed.
On the same day the Southern Pacific
doubles its evening train service east,
via the Ogden route. In addition to
overland train No. 6, running via Stock
ton, with standard and tourist sleepers
and dining-car service, a train of first
class standard sleepers only and diner
viii leave San Francisco at D. m for
Chicago, via Ogden and Omaha, on a
materially shorter schedule than the
present one For the benefit of Stock
ton and San Joaquin Valley passengers
a through standard sleeper will be car
ried on train No. to Sacramento, then
side-tracked and attached to the later
and faster train when 1t arrives.
The increased service on the Sunset
route when a new train is added be-
tween San Francisco and New Orleans
and the Golden State limited service is
resumed between California and Chi
cago, via Ell Paso and the Rock Island
route, will be in effect on December 16.

VICES OF CHINESE
SLAVE PENS
Unsavory South African
Scandal Debated in Both
Houses of Parliament
REPORT is NOT READ

LONDON. Nov. 15-Both Houses of
Parliament tonight debated the un-
pleasant subject arising from the re-
cent unauthorized publication of the
contents of the "Bucknill' report.
which gives the results of an inquiry
into the conditions of Chinese labor In
South Africa, and which reveals the
systematic practice of unnatural vices
in the Chinese compounds there. No
tice of this debate was given today by
r. c.. Lehman, Liberal. who, in the
House debate. obtained leave to move
the adjournment of the House to dis
cuss the prevalence of gross immoral
ity In the Chinese compounds in the
Transvaal." as disclosed by the Buck
nilr' report. and "the Imperative neces-
sity for the Government to take imme-
dite steps to stop this state of affairs. :"
The motion that all strangers should
withdraw having been rejected. Mr..
Lehman, before a crowded house.
moved the adjournment. In studious-
ly moderate speech he declared the
country was in the presence OF a great
moral disaster and asked the Govern
ment for information on specific points
and what it intended to do in the
matter.
Winston Spencer Churchill. ParIia-
mentary Secretary to the Colonial
Office. replied on behalf of the Govern
ment. He said 1t had been decided not
to publish the "BucknilP' report. be-
cause 1t was unprintabIe and because
the evidence upon which 1t was based
had been obtained confidentially. 1t
was undoubtedly true. he said. that
vices existed in many compounds, but
the opponents of Chinese labor always
recognized that such a state Of affairs
was inevitable. THESE evils had long
been foreseen. then why this belated
Intervention upon the part OF the
Bishops and Archbishops?"
The revelations of the report al
though they did not bear out the state
ments alleged. nevertheless disclosed a
condition of affairs sufficiently un-
healthy and unnatural to seal the fate
of Chinese labor.
Lyttleton declared that no shred of
evidence of this horrible and monstrous
system of vice had reached him while
in the Colonial Office.
Premier Campbell-Bannerma said
the Government had every reason TO be-
lieve the evil would be diminished if
not altogether eradicated. The motion
was eventually talked out.
The subject was ra-sed in the House
of Lords by the Archbishop Of CanIer-
bury. who asked il the Government had
any information thereupon-

show that the practices prevail in
nearly all the compounds. and. in his
opinion. strengthened the view that
the permanent addition of a system OF
Chinese labor was impossible. The
grosser allegations, however, were not
substantiated by the report.

in the late Ministry. said the opposition
would as far as possible assist the
Government in stamping out the evils

men and machinery can do the work.
The shaft is to be three compartment
affair and just as soon as the machin-
cry can be gotten on the ground the
mine will be equipped completely with
a modern plant and no time will be
lost in opening up the property.
The shaft that is to be sunk will be
located on the Miss Jessie claim and
at point about $50 feet east of the
spot where the diamond drill was in
operation.
At a depth of 800 feet it is learned
the drill first encountered the ledge,
and when operations were suspendeds
the ledge had been penetrated for q
distance of 100 feet News regarding
the values found in the ledge is hard
to get, the mana agement refusing TO give
any figures, but from the fact that
the core from the drill was high
graded" and sold at a good profit, the
general presumption is that the assays
ran very high.-Goldf1eld Review.

FoRBIDs CREW TO WORSHIP
Sailors of Whaler Karluk Accuse Cap
tain of Religious Oppression

Several sailors of the whaling steam
ers Karluk. Bowhead. jeanette and
Thrasher have carried their stories of
cruel treatment to United States At
torney Robert t. Devlin and have
asked for redress. They have been ad-
vised to bring their witnesses in order
that the incoming United States Grand
Jury may find indictments against the
guilty persons.
But more serious charge was made
yesterday to. Mr.. Devlin by two mem
bers of the crew of the whaler Kar-
LUX. They charged Captain A H. Nc
Gregor Of that vessel with violating
the constitution of the United States
by depriving them of the opportunity
of worshiping God according to the
other words, they say that he positive
ly refused to allow them to attend di-
vine service at the Episcopal mission
on Herschel Island.
During the first winter in which the
Karluk was locked up in the ice Cap
tain McGregor had a falling out with
Rev. c. w. Whitaker. the Episcopal
missionary on the island, over a trade
in furs. When the sailors told Captain
McGregor that they were going to the
Episcopal church one Sunday the cap
tain said Whitaker is blankety-
blank. He has injured me and mine,
and I forbid you TO go there"
The sailors promised to introduce
their witnesses in few days, until
which time the matter will rest.

The market as 1 view the matter,
said Senator Nixon, is due primarily
10 the legitimate values of the mining
properties. OF course there are many
stocks that have risen or are likely to
rise that go up in sympathy with the
leaders in the field. People naturally
remember that Mohawk was selling at
Is to 20 cents a share a year ago. They
naturally think that other properties
may advance in real value as well.
The Southern Nevada stocks are
worcestershire. That is large induce
ment to buy them. 1t influences the
market strongly. If a man expects to
spend $500 in the purchase of South
ern Nevada stocks he knows that he
is not liable TO be called upon to pay
another $500 in assessments
DEVELOPMENT PREPARATIONS
Another factor in making the South
ern Nevada mines popular is found
in the preparations for development
