WHITE JUMBO FORGOTTEN.
Once the Pride and Worship Of Siam,
It Now Attracts Very Little
Attention.

The glory of the white elephant
has long since departed. Even in
Siam, its native country, there are
many evidences that it will soon
cease to be treated other than the
ordinary elephants. asserts the
New York Herald.
The early historians of the orr
ent have left accounts of the cap
ture Of the white elephants in diff
ferent parts of lndo-C China, all of
which lay great stress on the mag
nificent ceremonies and the great
delight of the kings to welcome
the beast to their capitals.
The fortunate individual who
discovered the whereabouts OF a
white elephant was at once raised
to the highest rank of nobility and
very likely married to the kings
daughter, though this was no
great honor, as he probably had
many dozens to dispose of.
The capture being effected,
guards Of mobiles were mounted
over the animal, which was bound
with siken ropes and detained in
the jungles where il was caught.
A palace was erected for its re-
ception close to that of the king,
and roads were made from the
place of capture to the principal
highway. Installed in its palace,
loaded with honors, and with the
highest sounding titles, surround
ed by the golden umbrellas and
other insignia of greatness, the
white elephant led a life of luxuri.
ous ease, lulled to sleep by the
choral chants of priests and
amused during waking hours by
the songs and dances of the royal
corps de ballet.
Some 40 years ago the king
of Siam possessed a white ele-
phant which was the chief delight
and pride of the sovereign in spite
of his high education and good in
tellect. AS the greatest compli-
ment he could think of paying to
the queen of England he sent her,
by the hands Of her envoy, few
hairs pulled expressly for her from
the tail of his beloved animal.
The recent addition of a young
specimen to a native collection
gave an opportunity for compare
son of existing with past condi-
tions. A small pecuniary recon-
pense was thought a sufficient re-
ward for the man who made the
capture. When the animal was
tame enough to be transported it
was marched across the country
10 the nearest railway station,
where a specially constructed
truck was waiting to rec Give it.
But there were no gilded pillars.
NO silk and satin hangings, no ad-
miring multitude to do homage to
the mascot of their king and
country.
In Bangkok, however, some
preparations were made. A con-
siderable crowd was waiting at
the station. and the streets were
decorated here and there With
bunting. A procession of four
white elephants. residents of the
capital, escorted the newcomer to
its home.
The trappings of the white ele-
plants wear rawdry. threadbara
redcloth. instead ofthe jewel-stud-
ded velvet and silk, and the dia-
mond and ruby no longer orna-
mented the white tusks. The
white elephants existence is now
hardly superior to that Of the com
mon black herd.

Mohawk Robbery

At about three o'clock this morn
ing four armed men entered the
shaft house of the Hayes-Monnette
lease on the Mohawk and struck
down the Waterman ON guard, badly
iniuring him. At the point of re
volvers they compelled the Two
engineers to open a closet in which
was stored about 80 sacks of high
grade Ger. Securing the booty they
forced the engineers TO assist them
in packing it to q wagon about 100
feet distant. The wagon used be-
longed to the Wood and Sullivan
Hardware Company. After intimi-
dating the engineers to silence the
four men mounted the wagon and
drove off. After the disappearance
of the robbers the engineers made
their way to town and gave the
alarm. The entire forces of both
sheriffs and police are doing every
thing possible t apprehend the per-
~pertrators, but as yet the only clew
which they have is the identity of
the wagon used to carry away the
loot. The value of the ore secured
is between 100000 and 100000.
This is one of the most sensational
hold ups in the history OF Southern
Nevada, and from the tenor of the
feeling existing in Goldfeld the
punishment which will be meted out
should the hooters be caught will
have the effect of making this rob-
berry the last in the vicinity.
II is understood that the watch
mans condition is improving.
