statement from William D. Haywood,

on certain references to him by Presi-

II do not desire to make an extended

"The president says that / am an
undesirable citizen the inference be-
ing that as such / should be put out

strates that he does not practice what

Special to The Herald.
RHYOLITE, Ariz., April 5. - The
spring report of the Tramp Consoli-
dated mine at Bonanza mountain shows
that property to be one of the greatest
in the Bullfrog district.
Less than a year ago the Tramp,
Denver and Eclipse properties were
consolidated and now nine contiguous
claims are being developed under one
head.
Each of the claims is lode bearing
and Manager Blackmer plans to work
all of them through the main tunnel
of the Tramp, the level of which is so
far below the workings of the other
claims of the mountainside that grav-
ity tramming will be possible from lev
els hundreds of feet below the present
tunnels of the workings.
The mill which the Tramp people
have ordered will be placed at the
mouth of this tunnel and within a
stones throw of the main line of the
Las Vegas & Tonopah road, which now
bridges the mouth of the principal
workings of the company.
When superintendent Blackmer as
sumed control of the combination last
May the entire workings of the COM
pany were less than 1000 feet. while
at the present time 5000 feet Of work
has been done.
OF this probably 1000 feet is laid out

ings, while 5000 feet of work is in ore.
Six cars of ore have been shipped to
Salt Lake this spring and there is a
quantity of shipping ore already on
the dumps to make up the second train
load shipment.
Already the property has six large
veins of ore opened up as well as good
leads that have not yet been investi-
gated.
The best developed vein is the Den
yer lode, which is a high-grade body
that is making better with depth. and
varies in width from to 25 feet. This
has always been a shipper and has been
opened at five levels. approximately 500
feet showing a fault fSSure with
brecciated rhyolite.
The Eclipse ledge is of a different
character entirely. It is manganese
quartz of milling grade with pay shoots
of ore from SIS to $1,000 in value. At the
present levels the average width of the
ledge is 1S feet and no part of it is
barren.
The Hobo ledge is a clean cut body
of high-grade manganese, from which
300 feet of ore has been extracted and
but 300 feet of tunneling done. The
Hobo is waiting connection with the
lower workings.
The Tramp claim itself has not been
opened up, but on the surface shows
values for a width of 165 feet
1t is awaiting its turn from below and
probably will be cut into with deep

buildings were seriously wrecked, in
cluding several business houses.
Several houses were blown down at
Pineville and injuries are reported. The
hail did much damage to crops.
The insane asylum at Jackson, La,
was almost wholly W. ecked, with loss
of about 100000. In addition to three
female inmates killed, many sustained
injuries. Two negroes were killed on a
nearby plantation, while reports from
the surrounding country indicate that
there was probably much loss of life
among negroes, whose fiimsy cabins
collapsed before the wind.
At Bayou Sara several passengers on
the steamer Betsy Ann had thrilling
escape. The Betsy Ann was reduced
almost to a total wreck. While the
breaking timbers both from the steam
er and from the shore flew through the
air the crew got all the passengers
safely, ashore. Hardly a member of the
crew escaped without bruises.
AT Carson, Miss, the Mississippi
Central railroad depot was blown down,
also a church, school house and two
business buildings and several cabins.
From Carson the storm crossed the
