make 1T impossible for any one to sue

that will be set forth.
At the bank it is said that it is
not practicable to prepare a black list
yet Time must be allowed for all the
fire insurance companies to complete
their settlements or come so near to
the end of work in connection with
losses from the April fires that their

News Of the Various Mining
Camps of Nevada.

TONOPAH, New. Sept. 1e--The splen-
did reports from the Belle Helen dis
trict and the whole slope of the Ka-
wich range on which the camp is To-
Gated continue to be a leading topic
here. and II is a well-founded belief
now that Belle Helen will be a great
camp at some time not far distant.
Several men who have been looking
over the showings in that section have
returned In the past few days and they
are all enthusiastic over the prospects
the region holds out They say that
the reports of strikes are becoming so
common about Belle Helen itself that
they attract but little attention from
the men of the camp. 1t is said that
find was made on the Ohio group,
owned by Cavander, OF this place, a
few days ago, that Is really startling

about, $1,000. A number of men are
employed in the district looking for
properties and spend their time riding
over the ,hillsides examining all loca-
ton monuments If a notice is found
to have expired. they lose no time in
grabbing the ground, and ii is believed
that they are working in the interest
of one of the big syndicates that is
seeking foothold in the new camp.
IT is also generally believed that the
Nevada Smelter and Mines people are
keeping close watch on the section
and that if they have not already taken
over number of the properties, they
intend to do so In the near future. This
however, is but rumor although il is
stated on good authority that the com
pany has begun negotiations aimed to
secure one promising group

ACID A SEVERE LrNIMENr.

7. Burns. who lives al Fiibert street.
1lmped into the Harbor Hospital yester-

agony. Mrs. Burns believes that car
bOlfc acid is a remedy for nearly every
Ill, and when her husband scaided his
foot yesterday morning. she advised
him TO use carbolfc. It weuld take out
the fever, she said, and prevent blood
poisoning
Believing that one could not have
too much OF a good thing. Burns un-
corked the carbolic bottle and holding
his foot over & dish, poured a liberal
quantity OF the straight acid over the
already parboiled flesh In order TO
get the full benefit Of the acid he
bathed his foot IN the fluid. He soon
was sorry that he had taken his wife's
advice. In a few seconds more he re-
gretted that he had not taken the acid
internally, and he left the hospital
firm IN the conviction that there were
some chings about carbolic acid that his
wife did not know.
