NEW DISCOVERIES IN
ELKO COUNTY, NEVADA

The recent discoveries of ore bodies
on Dry Susie. Maggie Creek, Lone Noun
tain and other places have set horde OF
prospectors to seeking along the mineral
beIt that runs due north and south
through this country and Just as great
oaks from little filberts grow, some new
discoveries are reported which give rich
promise Of making this section the mining
center of Nevada says the ElkO Free
Press.
one of the most important of the re-
cent discoveries is reported at sherman.
where Y. WaltheTs is said to have an
enormous outcrop of copper ore, also a
body of galena and silver ore which IS be
lieved TO be valuable. He recently brought
a sack full of samples to Elko and the
lead ore assayed 60 per cent ana Two
ounces in silver. The copper ore assayed
per cent and 10 ounces in silver. These
claims are situated about twenty miles
north of Bald mountain and are close TO
the proposed railroad line TO that place.
Salt Lake parties are already negOtlat-
ing for the copper group consisting of
seven claims. and the group of galena
claims will undoubtedly be sought for as
that ore will be valuable as a fluX.
On CirindstOne mountain, twelve miles
south of Elko, another discovery is re-
ported and samples of ore of a black OK
ide formation have been brought in from
that place that go as high as 30 per cent
i'm the red metal. besides carrying small
values in gold and silver.
Half a dozen rigs left Elko yesterday
with prospectors bound for a gold strike
reported near Susie creek. Ore was found
there which panned free gold and con-
siderable excitement followed. 1t was
found i'm a large porphyry dyke. Good
placer dggings are also reported.

Idaho and the officials and detectives
connected with the prosecution have
maintained silence as to their case
and very little is known publicly as to
Its features and details.
Their progress will be contested at
every point by an alert group of strong
counsel for the defense. 1t is thought
by many lawyers that the facts of the
case here and in the higher courts
hinge on the admission or rejection of
certain evidence.
A specific murder is charged and the
confinement of the evidence to that
crime may exclude many features of
the general conspiracy set UP in the
ory.
The defendants deny their guilt most
positively and in turn assert that they
are the victims of a giant conspiracy
as daring in conception and act as the
one alleged against them.
Their attorneys have withheld their
plans, but 1t is generally believed that
while they will admit that many
crimes were committed, they will set
up the theory that the plot and insti-
cation came from their old enemies,
the mine owners and that their clients
are guiltless.
They will probably seek to show that

NEW YORK, May 4.-Through Ellis

The entire force of officials at the

Those landed yesterday represented
nearly every nation of Europe. The
bright colors of the newcomers from,
the southern countries and the pic
turesque garb of the northern peasants
formed pleasant picture, while the
babel of strange languages and the
shouting of inspectors forming them
into groups on the main floor lent adj

of the immigrants are Italians.
They say that in southern Italy many
villages have been almost deserted by
the population, so strong is the fever
of emigration that has seized the

the Western Federation of Miners, will
On Thursday next be placed on trial,
charged with the murder of former
Governor Frank w. Steunenberg Of this
city.
charged with the same offense; they are
William d. Haywood, Charles H. Moy-
er, the president of the Western Fed
Grafton of Miners; George A. Petit
bone, a former member of the eXecu-
tive board of the same organization,
and Harry Orchard, a member of the
miners federation.
OF these men, Orchard. it is alleged,
has made a confession in which he
admits that he killed the former gov
ernor and in the same confession, 1t is
alleged, duplicates the other men under
arrest, together with others, as being
accessories.
Under the law of the state of Idaho,
while it is admitted that Haywood,
Meyer and Pettibone were not in the
state of Idaho at the time of the mur-
der, they are charged with the actual
murder, the contention under the stat
ute being that they were on the spot
in spirit, that they planned and there
fore compassed the death of Governor
Steunenberg.
In it's main and lateral branches the
complete history of the case extends
back to the early perioI of conflict be-
tween the union and non-union miners
in the Occur d'Alene district, or what
is known as the Panhandle country of
Idaho-that narrow strip of mountain
GUS country, rich in lead and silver ore,
under the shadow of the great divide
between Idaho and Montana.
Momentous Struggle
The background to the Steunenberg
case is the momentous struggle in the
Coeur S'Alenes. extending as it did
over a period of seven .ears and in
volving the calling out of the state
militia and finally the dispatch Of the
United States troops by President Nc
Kinley to the scene of conflict center
ing around the mining towns Of Gem,
Wallace and Wardner.
To the part that the dead governor
played in these stirring days, furnish
ing as he did an example followed later
by the governor of Colorado, the pros
ecutiOn goes for motive and the Or
binary charges against the accused.

UNIONS THREATEN
GENERAL STRIKE
EFFORTS TO SETTLE TROUBLE
UNAVAILlNG
Hundreds of Non-Union Men on the
Way from San Francisco to Take
Places of Discontinued
Teamsters

An industrial war is promised for Los
Angeles If the members of the striking
teamsters' union and the Draymen's
association follow out the plans which
have been announced, and 1t is proba-
BILE that thousands of men will leave
their situations in order to force the
draymen to meet the terms of the un-
ionists. 1t was admitted by both sides
yesterday that if the teamsters kept
their word and called out all trades
affiliated with them, all work in Los
Angeles would be tied up until the
strike was settled.
All efforts to settle the strike have SO
far been unavaiiing, and SO far no
solution of the difficulty has been found.
The members of the union have made
many threats as to the steps 1t is pos
sible for them to take, and several
meetings of committees were held yes
terday to lay plans
A fight to the finish is the plan re-
solved upon by the members of the
striking teamsters' union against the
open shop proposition of the draymen's
association, and 1t was openly an
nounced yesterday that If some settle
ment satisfactory to the union was not
made at once every union represented
in the miscellaneous trades council,
with the exception Of the building and
printing trades, would be called out at
once.
To Call General Strike
In other words, the members Of the
union have resolved to tie up all lines
of work in Los Angeles if the members
of the 'draymen's association do not
sign the agreements which have been
offered by the union. They threaten to
call a sympathetic strike, and say If
they do that the streets Of Los Angeles
will be filled with unemployed men, as
they assert they have been assured
that as soon as the call is issued men
in every trade will quit work and re-
main on strike until the draymen agree
to a closed shop and higher wage propo-
sition.
Despite the threats which have been
made by the union men, the members
of the draymen's association continue
to go on with their work, hiring all
ing them out with the wagons.
The result was that yesterday more
than 100 wagons were on the street in
place of the forty-five wagons which
did the hauling Friday. On each wagon
were three men, two teamSters and
deputy sheriff, and in several cases the
deputy sheriffs were seen to be assist
ing the workmen in loading the wagons.
According to the officials of the dray-
mems association, no fears have been
raised by the threats of the strikers.
Carefully Consider Consequences
$50 far as calling general strike in
all lines of trade is concerned, why
that is all nonsense" said member of
the association yesterday. II do not
believe that the teamsters will do any
such thing, and if they do the only
cause which will be injured is their
own. We are in this fight to stay and
