Superstftious People Leave Madison,
WIS.,, Following Prediction That
Place VIII Be Engulfed.

MADISON, Wis, June 1S.-Fully 1900
people spent yesterday outside of
Madison because of a superstitious fear
of the destruction of the city, as pre-
dicted last week by a negro exhorter,
who said the waters of Lakes Mendoza
and Minona would rise up and engulf
the city because of its iniquities.
The exhorter called himself Profess
sor Jones. The prophecy was the talk
of the city for several days and scores
of timid people drew their deposits
from the banks and left town. Hun
dredY crossed the lakes to pleasure
parks and railroads had to put on extra
coaches to accommodate the outward
rush. One man rushed a houseboat to
completion and with his family occu-
pied 1T.
University professors and ministers
sought to allay the fear through the
newspapers, but their efforts were of
no avail. Most of the frightened ones
returned to the city last night

tempted to cut the jewels from the
woman's ears. and scarcely five minutes
later the robber himself and a police

the assault. The robber was kicked

co. Cal. Don, as he is usually called.
Is one of those CHEEKY and lucky fel-
lows who understands that cheeri-
ness is the mental capacity of recog-
nizing the sunny side of life and luck
the feature that has the individual
force to energeticaIly pursue an aim
and not "Micawber like waiting for
| something to turn up" but TO turn IL
up.
This observation in connection with
Mr.. Catlin is occasioned by virtue of
the fact that for fifteen years he has
proved true to the faith, as a pros
pector and miner. enduring all the
hardships and vicissitude of desert
life. and. now, at last finds his rewar>
in what has every appearance of be-
| ing the most sensational gold deposit
of Nevada
Associated with Don are his broth
er Harry and John B. Anderson. An
derson. like Don. has had his trials

likewise is in the position of the man
who scales the peak of opportunity.
after hard struggle and finally be-
holds the vahey of plenty, abundance
and Righteousness.
| The property that occasions so
much assurance for these splendid
fellows is located some twenty-five
miles from Las Vegas and at present
discovery is certainly fabulous
thing, The ore body is sixteen feet
wide. outside of rich streak averaging
! $2S in free gold to the ton. But thai
is no marker Numerous samples
from thirty inch streak have in
each instance produced better than
$3.50 to the ton.
The location of this property is in
mineral belt between the Vegas and
FL Dorado district that will yet more
than duplicate the fortunes of that
stand to the credit of the Sage Brush
state so-called. But this belt for a
fuller description when the proper
time comes. AT present 1t would be
folly to flash the full merits because
the hardships and disadvantages are
extreme. The item of water alone is
matter of hauling or packing for
twenty-five miles or more.
The source of qualification is that
those who endured and fought the
battle are the final victors and that
the lot of success by virtue of en-
deavor and energy is with so worthy
and deserving individuals as the Cat.
lin boys and Anderson.

shipment of fifty tons of ore every
day This ore is high grade and TAX
en- out in process of development
work. The shipments of zinc average
more than 46 per cent and lead Ga per
cent.
The mining article of the Salt
Lake Herald some time ago came un.
der the attention of Mr. Frainy Of
Shasta. Cal, who with a partner some
four years ago passed through this
country and took so pound sample
from a 1S-foot ledge. This sample
was not assayed until two months
later when away from the desert. The
assay showed over $500 values of gold
to the ton. He is now Quitting in
Las Vegas and says that when he
finds his lead again that a bigger rush
will be seen through Las Vegas than
the Goldfield rush. He is positive THAI
the wealth is not more than fifteen
miles from Las Vegas.
