A slight change has been made in
the management OF the Resort Sa-

has been purchased by J. R. Eustace
of Napa, California. The interior
Of the place has been entirely re-
decorated and now presents a most
clublike and cosy appearance. A
magnificent mahogany bar has been
installed. The cafe is finished in
rich red and gold. A complete line
of the finest liquors and cigars are
also on hand. The front of the
Resort is TO be reprinted and when
finished will be the most unique
piece of workmanship in T~onopah.

fine PROPERTY
At DULUTH CAMP
GROUP OF FOURTEEN CLAIMS
Is MAKING A GOOD
SHOWING.

Property that is causing consider
able attention is the Duluth group
OF fourteen claims in the Duluth dis
trict. All OF the claims lie on well
defined Lodges and high assays have
been obtained. The working so far
have disclosed only the hanging
walls. The claims are known as the
Last Chance. Savage. Jack, Sarah,
Alpha Omega. Allis, Lille. Lamont,
Raven, Sparrow, Sandstone, North
Star and Jumbo. They are three
miles north of the property Of Fife
& Bills. SO far the assays show
returns from $3.50 to S175 to the
ton. The claims were located by
Mrs. George H. Lewis. Mrs. Kate
AIphin and ]. H. Ross. Mrs. Lewis
who is a resident of Tonopah, has
won for herself a great reputation
as a mining operator and has han
died with great uccess several very
important deals. One Of her recent
successes was in connection with the
Millers Lake placer deal. It was
contaminated last August and by its
terms 1000 acres were sold to L.
r. Keough of San Francisco for
$4,000 and $500 shares in a new
company that was formed under the
name OF Goldheld Gold Lake Mining
Company. Mrs. Lewis has interests
in various parts OF the state and By

succeeded in amassing a considerable
fortune. IL is understood that a

RATHER TAME EFFORT.
Manifesto Issued by National Social
lists of Russia,

ST. Petersburg, June PA separate
manifesto was issued tonight by the
national socialists and circulated in
the city. 1t is a colorless document of
1000 words describing the dumas re-
lations with the government. Its most
effective phrase elaracterizes the scs-
sion of the duma as "A hundred days
of captivity" The document closes
with the statement that every nation
deserves the kind of government it
tolerates, but that doctrine does not
make any definite imperative recon-
mendations. The manifesto sets forth
as the policy of the four soeiaiistie
groups a plan to reject the budget and
to refuse to agree to the recruiting
until the government becomes respon-
sibe to the people. The manifesto
ends as follows:
Through the new law landlords will
dominate over the peasantry and the
third duma of rich burghers will dom
ineer over the proletaFiat. This coup
d'etat takes away the modieum Of lib
erty which the people won. Our duty
is to solemnly exhort the people to re-
member that its destiny is in its own
hands, and that it win possess only
such right as it conquers and defends"

Miners, during the labor troubles of sew
eral years ago. Mr.. Bradley was an oe-
cupant of the flat No. 14O4 Washington
street, in this city. when Harry Orchard
made the alleged attempt to blow him
up with bomb. Mr.. Bradley's deposit
ton will be used by the defense ia the
Haywood trial at Boise Mr.. Bradley's
version of the explosion is that 1T was
caused by gas. Under direct examination
by Mr.. Shortridge he testified today that
his cigar apparently ignited a quantity
of escaping Illuminating gas as he de-
sceDded to the front hall from his apart
ment on the third floor. The explosion
was of such force that il wrecked the
front of the house. Mr.. Bradley was

object Of killing Bradley.

the state of Idaho.
Van Dyne asked the witness if it was
his impression Immediately after the ex-
plosion or at the time that the eXDIo-
sion was due to gas. He answered that
1t was. Bradley was asked if he had
read in the neWsDd DerS that Orchard had
placed a bomb at his front door, and he
replied that he had and that in view Of
this testimony he believed 1t was possible
for small lead bomb to be there with PIT
his noticing il. He was very guarded in
his answers and would not admit that il
was his opinion that Orchard really did
place the bomb there.

SURPRISE IN NEW YORK.
National Executive Board May Be
Called Together.

New York, June 21-The strike of the
Western Union and Postal telegraphers at
San Francisco came as a surprise to these
companies, following as it did so close
upon the supposed settlement of the diff
ferences through United States Commits
sioner of Labor Charles 2. Neill, and the
statements by President Clowry of the
Western Union and Z. ]. Nally, general
manager of the Postal company. As late
as noon today Deputy President ]. Konen-
kamp OF the Commercial TelegFaphers
union said there would be no strike at San
Francisco; that evidently President Small
had not seen the report of the settlement
when he announced that San Francisco
would quit work today.
The Reputation of the settlement by
President Small therefore caused surprise
TO the union officials in this city. and IL
was intimated that the national executive
board would be called together immediate
~ to consider that officials action. No
official word came from President Small
except the interview in which he said the
strike was to take place at Oakland and
San Francisco. Mr.. Konenkamp said:
KoneHkamp's Position.
Il have in my pocket a document from
Mr.. Small giving me full authority to act
as president in his absence in official mat
tiers and | approved the terms of settle
ment offered by the Western Union yes
terday. The telegraphers in New York
will stand by that settlement. We feel
that we now have the support of public
sentiment and we shall not sacrifice that
by repudiating the agreement. We appre-
ciate the great assistance given to US by
the government through Mr.. Neil and we
shall not stultify ourselves"
The officials of neither the Western
Union nor the Postal Telegraph eempan-
les would make statement tonight The
strike did not develop until after office
hours and neither President CloWTy nor
President Nally could be reached. 1t was
stated, however. that the companies now
feel that the action Of Small at San Fran
cisco absolves them from any obligations
under the terms of yesterdays agreement.
1t is not believed the telegraphers of New
York will be involved, at least just at this

SOME POOR CRAFTSMANSHIP
Ely Saloon Man and a Man Who
Would Not Pay for the Drinks
in Street Duel.
Especial to The Herald)

Ely, June 21.-George Mcclure, manager
of the Three Deuces dance hall in this
city, had a pistol duel the other morning
with robber, and in all five shots were
fired but no one was hit
A roughly dressed man of sandy COM
plexion entered the hall early in the morn
ing and ordered a round of drinks. When
the drinks were served he said he had no
money with which to pay for the beve-
RACES. so Mcclure demanded that he leave
his watch as security. This the stranger
did and walked out. He soon returned,
however, armed with a revolver, which he
pulled on the manager, demanding the re-
turn of his timepiece. He had the drop
on Mcclure and not only got the watch
but made the bartender hand him $3.50.
Selling one of the women of the house,
the tall stranger walked out, using her
as a shield. AS soon as he was outside
he started toward the business section of
the town, but Mcclure was soon after

opened fire. The robber returned the COM
pliment and then succeeded in eluding

Baker, former United States senator
from Kansas, died this morning at lis

Bright's disease. For the past week
he had been lowering between life and

Lucien d. Baker had been one of the
leading lawyers of Kansas for half a
century. His election to the United

struggle in the Kansas legislature, and
his failure to be sent back was in

PLANS OF COOPERATION.
Idaho Associations VIII Unite to
Fight Fires.
Especial to The Herald.)

Boise, Ida, June I.-The state land
board and the Fire Protective association
in the northern part of the staet are 60
ing to unite in their efforts for saving the
timber from forest fires. A meeting of
the state land board and the presidents
of the Occur d. Alene and Clearwater Fire
Protective associations was held yester-
day to agree upon plans of cooperation.
1t was agreed that the state should pay
it's portion of the expenses, according TO
the acreage included in each district.
The state land commissioner was given
authority to employ labor as needed and
represent the land board in cooperating
with the association the members of which
are the timber owners of the north. 1t
is expected to get the government to join
in the co-operatiVe movement for the pro-
lection of the forests, as it is thought that
all can work together TO much better ad-
vantage. Each will be of much assistance
to the others in making trail, etc, and
much stronger force can be mustered at
a fire.
