OUTRAGE In MARION COUNTY.
Negro Assaults Young School Teacher
On Her Way Home.

COLUMBIA, March 11:-That
Miss Pittman, pretty young public
school teacher of Marion county,
was criminal!y assaulted this after
noon by negro, who made his es-
cape after accomplishing his pur-
pose, is the information, in brief,
which rea ached Columbia tonight.
The outrage is said to have occur
red near Kirby's Crossroads, not far
from Dillon, in Marion county,
where Pittman has been teaching
the public school. She had dismiss
ed the school for the day and was
on her way houe. The negro was
in waiting for her at a lonely spot
on the road along which she was
going and when she came up he at
tackled her and accomplished his
purpose, after which he fled, leaving
his victim unconscious.
The whole neighborhood is ter
ribly aroused over the event and
armed posses are said to be securing
in every direction for the negro,
whose identity has not yet been es-
tabIished. A telephone message
was received at Marion asking that
bloodhounds be sent to the scene Of
the crime as quickly as possible.
LATER-Since the foregoing
was put in type a negro, one
Nathan McCleary, has been cap
tured, and while - vet identl-
fed by the young lady as Eer
assailant, it is belle d that lie

Judge J.. w. Deane. one Of the best
authorities on mining in the west and
a mining writer of wide reputation.
went to Buckskin his week and gave
The News his opinion on that young
camp which Is rapidly coming into

not duplicates of these conditions. There
is no WILL or MUST about it.

the prevalent silicas with the ores, but
those silicas pursue whatever course
they will. in and out of formations

whilom angle.
There are general courses subject to
local variation, perhaps with rhyme but
seemingly in disregard Of all reason.
Lime. porphyry. shale. schist. granite,
rhyolite. quartzite, andesite. basalt. are
in such juxtaposition as to habbergast
the theorist.
To all Of this I do not mean that there
is no law. but 1t is the law of most gen.
erous saturation and percolation of solu-
tions singularly rich in dissolved min
erals, finding their way into zones pre-
pared by eruptions, whose number and
succession can not be told.
1t is not to be marvelled that those
whose study has been wid and whose
peregrinations have been extensive,
who have analysed and theorized them
selves into belief in the necessity for
conditions and relations, should do what
Hammond, with world experience, did
in throwing over Tonopah, ~iouting
Goldfeld, and turning back on all the
land from Cuprite to Greenwater. 1t is
easy to see why not one of the Schooled
Men has made good" in Nevada though
opportunity has fairly bounded their
steps. There are a round fifty of them
who have had agonizing chills in Bull

north. grit by higher mountains han Its
own mineral hills. and In the greatest
depression and about midway of length
there is an alkali lake or sink. There
is in the valley a central uplift of some
four miles length and apparently of
rhyoiite, considerably prospected and
having excellent s~howings. On each
margin of the valley, on the TANKS of
the encircling ranges. there is a line
of eruptive hills. and therein are the
developed mines and the principal activ-
tiles.
These hills do not extend the length
of the valley but are respectively five
miles long on the west sid and about
seven miles long on the east side. On
the west side they terminate abruptly.

eral extensions are north and south con-
to the north. SO that instead
of the much employed horseshoe" we
have rather a wishbone, the converging
formations extending on strongly to the
north.
At the extreme end Of the eastern
prong are the Ludwig and the Douglas
mines, and on the extreme end of the
western prong are the Kennedy and
properties with remarkable showings.
A. the junction point and extending the
mineralized zone north Is an immense
iron dyke, doubtless rich In copper with
depth. for at points the copper shows
in the iron, both green copper and some
sprinkling sulphides.
All ground of the zone seems to have
been located and is jealousy guarded,
almost to the point of interference. and
there is little IL any room for the pros
pector. Such extraordinary values have
beer found that prices are stiff. though
terms can be made, n with this war;
rant that work seems to make good
throughout the district.
One enthusiastic Gold1eld crowd

surely make generous response. The
camp is gaining but deserves more con-
sideration.

Poor RUssIA.-The Ecominer'sspec-

that the nation is returning to saw
agery. 1t has been for the past
thirty years known to be undergoing
an economic decay, but that has now
extended to distinct decline in civ
ilization. Savagery, he declares, is
the only word to describe the con-
ditiOns of hundreds of settlements
which generation ago enjoyed pros
perity and civilized instincts. Mar
riage is obsolete, domestic life a
farce, and children are not considered
human beings until they reach the
age of six or seven years. Diseased,
apathetic, hopeless and degenerating
even to worse conditions, these saw
ages of great Christian empire are
threatened with speedy extinction
and that indeed is the most merci-
full fate they can expect.

WOMEN BARRIERS DRAW THE RAZOR
FOR FAIR PLAY. The women BARRIERS
OF Spokane having been refused adj
mission to the BARRIERS Union of
that city have applied to American
Federation of Labor for a charter of
their own. They claim that they
have been forced to appear as non
union. although their principles are
strictly union. Their pay is far in
excess of union rates, being $24 per
week. while the unions guarantee
but SIS. In every case they are ca
pablo as men, and they command
better pay because their work is
more acceptable to the customers and
they make more for the proprietor of
the shop. Another grievance is that
union BARRIERS are debarred from
working in the shops conducted by
women, while they are continually
losing custom from the fact that they
have no union card to exhibit. The
Clerks Union of Spokane is talking
of organizing the sales women of the
city and taking them into their
union, then why should the BARRIERS
not be willing to do as much? asks
