CROP PROSPECTS GOOD ABROAD
Winter Cereals Sprout Quickly After
Disappearance of Shows.

Washington, April 16.-The Euro
pean crop report of the department of
agriculture, covering conditions abroad
up to April 1, says the heavy snow
which fell last winter over the greater
part of Europe has, excepting in parts
of Russia and of the Balkan states, al
most everywhere disappeared.
That the protection afforded to win
ter cereals has been pretty generally
efficacious is being demonstrated by
the vigor with which the plants in
most countries seem to be responding
to the quickening influences of spring.

Washington, April 16.-According to
a special bulletin issued by the wealth

quake of great intensity was recorded
by the weather bureau seismograph,
commencing at 1:14:20 in the morn
ing. The greatest movement of the
earth at Washington occurred in an
east and west direction and lasted
from 1:26 to 1:41, while the principal
portion of the north-south movement
lasted only until 1888 a. m. The total
duration of the earthquake was over
two hours. These records seem to in
dictate an unusually violent earth

and continued for more than two
hours. The record is much more pro-

Francisco earthquake of last year.
The maximum vibration was so severe
as to swing the pendulum clear off of

80 minutes.
City of Mexico in Panic.
City of Mexico, April 16.-Aroused
from slumber by the severest earth
quake felt here in years, thousands of
persons thronged the streets in panic,
afraid to re-entet their homes, Sunday
night. Many of them were clad only
in their night robes and only those
who had not retired were entirely
dressed.
The shock last four and a half min
utes, commencing at 11:34, Mexican
time, and had long swinging motion.
Telegraph wires were out of com

been settled, the majority of the men
have been taken back at the increase
in wages asked of ten cents day.
The company has refused to raise the
pay of the section men from $1.40 to
$3.50, but owing to the failure of the
plan to employ Italians in place of
the strikers, the company has been
obliged to hire the old men.

Local Inspectors Watching for laps.

Inspectors of the local immigration
office are in receipt of the new regu-
lations debarring practically all
Japanese from entrance to this coun-
try, and they are preparing for quite
a strenuous campaign in keeping
them out. The new regulations be-
came effective last week and in addi-
ton to debarring Japanese also ex-
clude Koreans.
Heretofore few Japanese have en-
tered the country by this port on ac-
count of the inlet being isolated
from their path of travel, but now,
however, with the FL Paso door
closed to them local inspectors are of
the opinion that many will drift into
Sonora from that port and seek en-
trance at Douglas and other Arizona
ports.
1t is thought that from Ell Paso
they will go to Casas Grandes on the
Sierra Madre railroad and then enter
Sonora by Pilares and come to Doug
las by way of the Mormon colony.
AS it will be impossible for the
Japanese to come in at any of the
ports of entry it is believed that
many attempts will be made to slip
in, and the consequence of this will
be considerable work for the inspec-
tors stationed at the various ports
along the line.
Briefly the new regulation which
has been received here provides that
Japanese to be admitted to this
country must have a passport from
his government in which he has de-
intended coming to the United
States. Passports issued to Japanese
emitting them to go to Mexico,
Canada or the Hawaiian islands will
not be accepted as good into the
United States. This applies to the
ldboring class only, whether skilled
or unskilled, and the immigrant is
also subject to the general immigra-
ton laws, such as those relating to
his physical health, head tax and
public charges.
The effect of the new ruling locally
will be that the thousands of Japan
csc laborers who were imported
through Manzanillo, Manhattan and
other Pacific coast points in Mexico
and holding passports to Mexico only,
will not be able to get into the
United States. These laborers were
imported 10 work on the various
railroad extensions in the different
parts of Mexico in most cases, al
though few of them are miners, but
after working just long enough to get
a little money ahead, they started
for the United States. In some way
they have heard OF the new ruling
which was to exclude them and they
have been hurrying across the border
by the hundreds. Hereafter only
those will be admitted who hold pass
ports to the United States.-Ameri-
can.

Six Thousand Ounce Ore.
(Nugget, Silver CITY, Idaho.

Nugget, silver City, Idaho.
Marcus White, over from Flint the
first of the week, brought over with
him a chunk Of ruby silver ore from
what used to be known as the Last
Chance mine, about one and a half
miles north of Flint, on the north side
of Hardup gulch. This mine which
was located a good many years ago
by Jack Way and Fred Crete, Jr.,
and so foot shaft sunk on it and up
wards of $4,000 in silver taken out of
stope on the 5O-foot level, was af-
forwards sold to F. NJ. Leech, who
drove a 2l5-foot cross-cut tunnel from
the gulch on the east and cut the
ledge at depth of 135 feet, did a
little work on it and then abandoned
it. Since then White brothers relo-
Gated the property, calling it the
Ruby Silver, made an upraise from
the tunnel, connecting it with the
shaft, and short time ago began
drifting north from the tunnel level.
They are now opening up a streak of
ore 10 feet long and from two to eight
inches in width. 1t is all very high
grade silver ore, and is being sacked
for shipment without asserting. The
samples brought here by Mr.. White
are certainly quite as fine as any ever
coming from Flint district showing a
mass of ruby silver which judges say
will assay 5000 ounces per ton.
The owners are also drifting on a
parallel vein forty-two feet east of
the vein before mentioned and ex,
pect to cut a shoot of similar ore
within the next thirty feet, which
surface work leads them to believe
will be the larger one. They have
also done surface work on another
lead eighty feet west which they be-
lieve will surpass the others in width,
if not equal them in values. This
constitutes a network of veins all
within the boundary lines of one
claim which is seldom equalled. In
fact on the surface the Groupings
make it appear like it were all one
lead.

Cowboy Ropes LiOn-ChOkes it to
Death.

Roping mountain lions without
having gun of any kind to use after
the monarch. of beasts has been
caught is rather dangerous business,
but John Gilland whose family re-
sides in Phoenix, caught one on the
Sierra ranch, thirty miles above
Roosevelt with nothing more than
his lariat, faithful bloodhound and
his cowpony.
Z Supervisor Steward, who is in the
city from Mesa attending the session
OF the board of supervisors, got the
story of GLANDS exciting experience
from Ross DAILY, who arrived in Mesa
from the Sierra ranch, which is owned
by Jake Lautfer.
Gilland W. -iding after cattle
some distance from the ranchhouse
when his hound scared up a mountain
lion. The lion fled, the hound giving
chase. After a run of several hun
dred yards the lion took refuge in a
small tree.
Gilland followed, and with rocks
dislodged the lion, who made his
second attempt to escape his, pur-
suers. With a fifty-foot lariat, Gil
land threw the moose over the lion IS
head and brought the beast to a sud-
den stop.
Up to this time the lion had shown
no desire to fight, but when stopped
by the rope he turned back toward
Gilland and his horse. But for Gil
lands good luck the lion might be
still at large and Gllland badly chew
ed up.
Instead of coming directly toward
Gilland, the lion circled, and in doing
so passed around a small tree at full
speed, paving the air and growing.
Gilland jumped from his horse and
fastened his end of the rope to an
other tree.
The harder the lion tried to get at
Gllland the tighter he drew the moose
about his neck, until he choked to
death. GLANDS bloodhound was
bent on fighting the lion, and before
the DSdSI Hdu ulCu IHC Jug Hdu d.
most been killed by its sharp claws.
Gilland skinned the lion and has the
pelt as a trophy. Daily states that
the beast was one of the largest ever
seen in that part of Arizona. For
several months it has been killing
calves, often attacking a large COW
when hungry. 1t was sleek and fat
when killed Republican.
