The cause of the battle which has been going on between the two forces is the right of way of the s P which extends through the central portion of the town, it is stated.

 Last Thursday a message was re- ceived by the representative of the Phelpe-Dodge interests at Nacozari that many of the company's houses were on the s P right of way and would have to be removed. No satis- faction was obtained, it is stated, from this ultimstum, the Moctezuma people waiting for the s P forces to start something.

FIRST MILL STARTED
At MANHATTAN CAMP

For the first time in the history of
Manhattan the shrill note of mill
ing plant whistle broke upon the air
last week, the sound waves echoing
through gulch, canyon and over hill
crest, and announcing that steam
was turned on at the plant of the
Manhattan Ore Reduction and Refln-
ing company on Mustang hill.
The test of that portion of the ma
chinery connected up was thorough
ly satisfactory to General Manager
J. H. G. Wolf and his assistant, Mr..
Chalmers. The pulleys, shafting and
other pieces of mechanism performed
their functions with the regularity of
clockwork and without heating or
binding to any extent. Both Mr..
Wolf and Mr.. Chalmers are e1ated
with the success of the trial run and
anticipate having the plant in readi-
ness for treatment of ore by Novem-
Der /.
The initial run will be made on ore
from the property of the Manhattan
Consolidated Mines company on Liti-
CATION hill. 1t is expected that freight
teams will begin hauling the product
to the mill the latter part of this
week. Careful sampling of the 600
tons. of quartz sacked and piled on
the dump indicates it to have an av-
erage gold grade of $3.50 to the
ton. That this figure is not far from
accurate is evidenced by the fact that
check assays were made. Mr. Wolf,
for the milling company, took sam
pies from forty sacks, securing an av-
erage of $50 in gold to the ton. SUI
perintendent Thomas, for the Con-
solidated company, took like num-
Der of samples, receiving the average
first mentioned.
These returns indicate the gross
value of the sacked ore at the Con-
solidated to be in excess of $4,000.
Thousands of tons of like grade are
blocked out in the mine, not to men
ton that of lesser grade also blocked
out or on the dump. Superintendent
Thomas is preparing to maintain a
regular output to the mill and to in
crease the corps of miners.

EAGLES NEST STRIKE
NOT A GOOSE EGG
BIG GOLD FIND OF GREAT PRO-
PORTIONS-WILL ERECT MILL
HAILSTONE TO BE LEASED.

Word has been received of the i'm
mense proportions of the recent
strike on the Eagles Nest, in the
Fairview district. The rich vein is
fourteen feet wide, between two per-
feet walls, and dips at an angle of
about 80 degrees into the hill. Three
distinct samplings of this vein re-
turned values of SILL, 1907 and
$747 per ton. A conservative esti-
mate of the average value of the en-
tire body has been placed at $40 per
ton. The Eagles Nest Fairview Min
ing and Leasing company, which
made this wonderful strike, is now
sinking to a greater depth and will
crosscut to the vein and prepare for
stopping.
Should the ore be of an equal or
better grade than that on the upper
levels, the company announces its in
tention to at once erect mill to
handle the production.
Several residents of the district
have made application for leases on
the Hailstone property, adjoining the
Eagles Nest, believing that the rich
vein crosses into the former terri
tory, and within a shore time the
Hailstone will be under active devel-
opment. Rich float has been found
in various places on Hailstone ground
and the prospective leasers are con-
fident that with proper development
a rich pay shoot will be encountered.

IMPATIENCE IN OKLAHOMA

The Oklahomans' desire to get
statehood at the earliest possible
moment is natural Every American
community which has passed through
the territorial stage wanted to end
it as quickly as possible This is one
of the reasons why Territorial Chief
Justice Buford suggested to Attorney
General Bonaparte that President
Roosevelt ought to give a few days
notice of the time when he will issue
his proclamation admitting the new
state. Another reason is that the adj
vance notice will allow the territorial
courts to settle up their business, and
make the transition from the terri
torial stage to statehood as free from
embarrassment as practicable.
Possibly Mr.. Roosevelt will acom-
modate the Oklahomans on this point
even though this would be a depart
ure from general usage. The presi-
dent can not take any official notice
of the recent election in Oklahoma
until the returns of the voting are
placed in his hands. Although the
twin territories held their election
on September II the returns have
not yet been tabulated. In gen.
eral way the result is known. The
Democratic state ticket won by a
large majority. In each branch OF
the Legislature the Democrats will
be heavy in the ascendant. They
| will have four of five members of the
popular branch of Congress, and theif
command of the Legislature will give
them the two senator's. All this
| was known a few days after the cleo
| ton. 1t was known, too, that the
constitution was carried by a big ma.
| jority.
But the counting of the votes for
the constitution has not yet been com.
pleted. 1t will probably not be COM
pleted until some time next week
Until it is Completed and the actual
returns, duly attested, are placed in
the presidents hands, he can do moth.
ing toward fastening statehood
Probably there viii. be very little de-
lay on the presidents part when the
returns reach him, and when he has
obtained the official verification Of
the acceptance of the constitution by
the people of the twin territories
| The Oklahomans, however should
not attempt to crowd the president
Congress will not meet until the frs
Monday in December. The procla
nation will undoubtedly be ISSUED
early enough to allow the five mem
bers of the House of Representatives
to appear in Washington at the time
Congress- doors opens. The Legis
lature will not meet till January Z
and the two senator's cannot BIZ
elected until after that date. 1t would
seem, therefore, that the Oklahom
ans should curb their Impotence fol

Four Indian Tribes.

The Cherokees, who tracked De
Soto's footsteps for many weary days
while he was marching through the
southern forests and swamps, and
who later welcomed Oglethorpe to
Georgia, are the most advanced In
dams in civilization and the most
eager for education, spending as much
as 100000 year on their schools
and colleges.
The Chickasaws have five colleges
with 400 students, maintained at a
yearly cost of $4,000. They also
have thirteen district schools, cost
ing $4,000.
The Chocktaws have $50 schools in
some of which the higher branches
are taught.
The Seminoles, one of the smaller
tribes, have ten colleges and sixty
five common schools, with a total
attendance of 2500.-Indian School

A prospector and mining man
named Dubois is sacking ore which
runs from 5000 to $500 to the ton,
just beyond the Douglass ranch in
Churchill county, and within a few
days he expects to make shipment
of the stuff. Mr. Dubois, as announc-
ed ten days ago in the News, made
a strike in that neighborhood which
was thought to be a good one and
the later developments have shown
it to be high-grade proposition. The
sacking ore, according to persons
who have visited the place, begins at
the grass roots and Dubois is hard at
work on the property. Half dozen
persons from Carson City have gone
to the scene of the strike and made
locations and all are sanguine that 1t
will prove rich camp.

discovery of much Importance TO

among modern Nubians means king.
convinced the German savant, who is
an authority on Coptic and the early
Christian archaeology of Upper
Egypt, that the text was Nubian. a
language which, although no
longer spoken. is still written. The
manuscripts date from the eighth
century A. D., and are TRANSACTIONS
OF Christian works in which frequent
references to st. Paul are made. One
manuscript is a collection of extracts
from the New Testament, and the
other hymn of the cross. The Greek
