new INDESTRUCT|BLE
MINERAL PAINT FOUND
Mineral Substance Stands All Tests
to Which 1t Is Sub
jected.

BAKERSrlELD, Cal, Oct. q
The long-sought secret of the manu-
facture of indestructible paints used
by the Egyptians and North Ameri-
can Indians is believed to have been
discovered by the finding of here
tofore unknown mineral substance
in the Kern River oil field by F. H.
Austin, a local man, who has been
pursuing a scientific investigation for
the past two years. Austin found
this substance, which he named "dia-
tine" while digging in an ancient
Indian mound. He sent samples to
the United States government geolog-
lists for examination, and has re-
ceived their report, which comedies
with his own statement.
The material is a sort of volcanic
ASH heavily impregnated with alum
ina, which gives it the sticky prop
erty necessary for It's new use. In
an Indian mound by the side of the
deposit a string of beads composed
of this material and asphaltum was
found around the neck of an Indian
These beads stood both the test OF
chloroform and of being placed on
red-hot stove without injury

Be BUT COOKIE E-SHELL
Giant Battleship, Greatest AfOat, Is
Planned for Uncle Sans
Defense.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.-In order
to be ready for anything which con-
gress may ask, the navy department
is preparing plans for 10000 ton
battleship, having $4,000 horsepower
engines. Her draft would be about
thirty feet. She would be the largest
and finest battleship ever planned by
any navy. 1t is said this theoretical
man-of-war would have eight turrets
and sixteen twelve-inch guns. That
the plans are being made for such
leviathan indicates the belief of
naval men that the limit has not been
reached, and will not for some time
yet, in the size of fighting craft; in
fact, only the depth of the harbors
and the fullness of treasures is likely
to place a limit on the size of bat
tleships. Another battleship of zo,-
600 tons is being planned by the
navy department, but what will be
the actual recommendation to con-
gress has not yet been agreed on.

STRANGE POISONOUS vAP0R
KILLS BUT LEAVES NO TRACE
Medical Students Make Discovery
Stranger Than Mysteries Of
Caesar BOrgia.

CHICAGO, Oct. 2.-Death in a
highly mysterious form came to Wal
ter Brown, aged 20 years, of Willow
Springs, H., tonight in vacant lot
in the southern suburb of Chicago.
Although there are no marks of Vlo-
lence on his body, the police believe
he was frightened to death or killed
by some new poison or vapor.
Miss Irene Brownell, a relative OF
the dead youth, was walking with
him when a tall, well-dressed stran-
ger met them and asked Brown to
step into a vacant lot as he had a
communication to make. they dis
appeared in the darkness, and the
girl, after waiting half an hour, ran
to the nearest police station and gave
the alarm. The body of the young
man was found in the center of the
lot.
1t is known that students in big
chemical laboratory here recently
discovered by accident vapor sc
deadly that a spoonful of it released
in a church or other big edifice would
instantly destroy every form of life
Efforts have been made by the medi
cal authorities to suppress all know
ledge of this poison because OF the
terrible consequences if unscrupu
lous persons secured the formula
here is a strong theory tonight tina
| Brown was used in test of the new
poison, which leaves absolutely nj

GERMANY TO COIN
MILLIONS IN SILVER
PLAN PROPOSED IN ORDER TO
BE FINANCIALLY PREPARED
FOR POSSIBLE WAR.

BERLIN, Oct. 2.-In pursuance
of the effort to solve the problem
of financial preparedness for war, a
number of important measures are
under consideration by the military
officials. Among these projects, ac-
cording to reports, is bill now ready
for introduction in the Reichstag, the
adoption of which would involve a
considerable increase in the silver
coinage of the empire.
according to the belief of the pro-
jectors of this measure, who say that
1t has received favorable considera-
ton from high authorities, the bill
wll be presented formally to the
Bundesrath and made public soon
after October 1. This is the date
fixed for the final withdrawal from
circulation of the old silver three
mark "thaler" pieces, which have
been gradually taken up by the
banks. The extent of the issue to be
provided for in the proposed bill has
not been determined, though the
amount contemplated is reported tt
be large.

GREAT DIAMOND BOOM
PROVES TO Be F|zzLE
ARKANSAS BUBBLE BURSTS
WHEN "GENIS'' ARE SAID TO
BE VALUELESS.

NASHVILLE, Ark, Oct. 2.-The
Arkansas Diamond Bubble that for
three weeks threatened to make the
state famous, has exploded, and Ar
kansas has awakened to reization
that all are not diamonds that
sparkle. Work has been suspended
on the Huddlestone & Hess proper
lies, which were alleged to be locat-
ed on the crater of an extinct vol
cano, and bubbling over with the
diamonds.
Fer months the people of Nash
Vile had been collecting clear stones,
which they firmly believed to be dia-
monds and men were valued by the
diamonds" they owned. A few
days ago a diamond expert registered
at the Nashville house. He had not
been in town many hours until people
began to flock there with their col
lections of stones for examination.
The expert pronounced them ordi-
nary crystals.
In the Arkansas geological report
for 1889, in volume treating of ig-
neous rocks, State Geologist Bran
ner, now of Leland Stanford univers-
ity, California, said of the volcano
in which the diamond" fields are
located, that while peridotite and the
blue clay formation of the South AT
rican diamond fields were found, in
his opinion diamonds did not exist
unless perhaps in isolated instances
owing to the absence of the proper
amount of carbonaceous shale.

GASOLINE SHORTAGE
IS NO LONGER FEARED
CAR CONSIGNMENT RECEIVED;
ANOTHER ON THE WAY AND
SITUATION RELIEVED.

The gasoline situation has been re-
lieved, and there is now no further
fear that there will be material or
serious shortage in the volatile fluid.
The shortage of gasoline, which
became apparent to the merchants
and consumers a week or more ago,
threatened for q time to seriously
handicap the many industrial enter
prises of the district which depend
on this form of fuel for the creation
of power and energy.
Merchants and dealers stated that
for no reason that had been given
by the men handling the commodity
out of Salt Lake as the supply CEN
ter for this territory, these supply
houses had notified the dealers that
their orders would not be filled. The
dealers promptly wired their orders
to Sacramento, Cal, with the result
that shipments were placed on the
cars which were hurried out toward
Ely by fast freight.
me railroads handling these cars
pushed them forward as rapidly as
possible, and the result was that
there arrived yesterday a full car of
gasoline, and way bills were received
indicating that another full car
would arrive today.
In order to forestall any further
inconvenience from this source the
local wholesalers have placed orders
for the combustible in advance OF
their needs, and feel that there need
be no further apprehension.
There was a slight scarcity of SUI
gar in the local market during the
FIRST two days of the week, but this
has been demedied, as a full car OF
sweetness arrived yesterday after,
noon, and 1t will not be necessary fol
the coffee drinker to take his ia
vorite beverage "black" for some
time.
1t was rumored yesterday thai
there was a shortage of flour immi
nent, but this was unfounded. In
quiry among dealers ELECTED the in
formation that there Is an adequate
supply on hand for the entire caml
for some time to come, with more OIL
the road.
The greater part of the local flou
supply comes from the Utah market
which has not failed to fill order
promptly.

PREHISTORIC RELICS ARE
FOUND IN ANCIENT CAVE

REDONDO, CAL, Oct. Rare
and valuable prehistoric relics were
unearthed near here today by F. c..
Morse, tourist of Scranton, Pa,
while strolling along the beach. A
slip of soil along the bluff had eX-
posed the edge of smooth, blue
stone, which attracted Morses atten-
ton. He dug it out, and it proved
to be mortar of exceedingly fine
make and unlike any ever seen here.
Digging a foot deeper, he found other
utensils and ornaments, including a
blue-stone pestle, two lifelike carved
bone fishes of large size, half a dozen
cylindrical stone beads, seven very
sharp arrowheads and an awl or
dagger, believed to be of seal bone.
DR.. F. M. Palmer, curator of the
Southwest museum in Los Angeles,
looked over the ground and stated
that it is evidently the site of an
aboriginal home, the spot being cir
cular, with a raised rim, and about
twelve feet in diameter. Morse inn
mediately received several offers fol
his collection, but declined to sell
and will take it east.

INFANTS ELOPE AND
START HOUSEKEEPING

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 2.-Mabel
Griffith, aged 13 years, and Harry
Hanson, II, the most nonchalent
elopers who ever came to this city,
were arrested this evening in a cozy
suit on South Savannah street, where
they were living like dignified old
married couple. The two children
came here from Salt Lake, arriving
mere Tuesday morning, and at once
applied for marriage license, which
was refused. They decided to rent
apartments and get along without a
ceremony until they should be old
enough to be welded. Young Han
son purchased $3.50 worth of furni-
ture on the installment plan and they
settled down, but their money was
soon gone, and when arrested only
II cents remained. The boy could
find no work. He is held for abduc-
ton and the girl is in the detention
home, where her parents will claim
her.
The youthful lovers are we'll con-
nected in Salt Lake, and ran away
because the girls parents objected to
the boys attentions to her. She de-
clares she loves him, and would
rather live here until old enough to
marry than go back home.

DEAD MANS FAMILY
WOULD FIND CLAIMS
WHERE ARE PROPERTIES 10
GATED BY HENRY MILLER
LAST YEAR?

Where are the mining claims To-
Gated by Harry Miller, formerly
telegraph operator on the Nevada
Northern railroad?
This question is being asked with
eagerness and anxiety by an aged
mother and father back in Indiana,
to whom Harry Miller returned last
year, broken in health, to tell of, the
discovery of rich copper claims, and
then to die of consumption caused
by the exposure which he suffered
while prospecting in the mountains
of this county.
Miller was bright young fellow,
a globe trotter who mad had many
experiences in many lands. He had
been on the coast of South America
where he had hunted big game. He
had been in the frozen north on
sealing expedition, and finally drift
ed into California.
About that time the mining ex-
citement in Nevada reached high
point, and he came to Ely, where he
was employed on the Nevada North
ern as telegraph operator. He got
the mining fever, and was grub
staked by friends who started him
for the hills.
Miller was successful in his search
for copper, and uncovered ledge
of fine ore. He then went to Salt
Lake, where he told of his good for
tune to former acquaintances whom
he had known back in Indiana.
The exposure which the young
man had experienced, brought about
the renewal of consumption from
which he believed he had freed him.
self by his rough outdoor life. Find
ing that he was becoming more and
more weak, he went back to the old
home, where after a brief illness he
died.
Before his death Miller told his
parents, who are aged people, of his
copper mine, but was unable to tell
them exactly where it is located.
Mnler's parents are now seeking
for further information concerning
the location of Miller's properties,
and desire to get into communica-
tion with the friends who helped to
outfit the young man when he first
started for the hills.

RENO, Oct 2.-That the oil pros
