Charges Against Mayor schmitz.

Former Police Commissioner Reagan
was the star witness in the trial of Mayor
Schmitz in San Francisco yesterday and
he told that be straightforward and con-
vincing a story acknowledgement Schmiiz
Reagan was c street payer when Schmitz
took him up and made him police COM
missioner, because he evidently thought
Reagan could be easily induced to vote
just as the mayor wanted.
When the cast : of the French restau-
rant keepers came up, Reagan joined
Hutton in investigating them. and when
he was convinced that these places we're
really disorderly houses he voted with
Hutton TO take away their liquor licenses
and nothing that the mayor could say
had any effect on him.
Resgan gave on the stand the whole
history of the mayors scheme to have
Hutton hold up the French restaurants
and then bleed the proprietors himself
He tod of the mayors futile efforts to
get him to vote for renewing their
licenses, as they had promised to obey
the law. Then, he said, the mayor de-
clared he would Dust Houston, VINO, he
had become convinced, was no longer
acting in the interests OF the people.
At the afternoon session, Reagan com
pleted his testimony, aud former Police
Commissioner Poheim and Toney Blan-
co, proprietor of the "Pup" restaurant,
testified. Blanco declared be gave $l,-
IT'S to Ruef, but he didn't connect the
mayor with it.

Killed in AutomoblIe Accident.

Clarence Mckenzie, president of the
Standard Brake Company, of New York
city, was instantly killed last night
when the automobile 10 which he was a
passenger was struck by a car of the Al
bany ard HuAsnn electric line. Me-

automobile, of the runabout type, driven
by James Swan, Of New Britain, Conn,
the automobile being Nc. 20 in the en-
durance contest which the New York
Motor Club was conducting from New
York to Albany. The roads had been
very bad on account OF the rain that had
fslIen during the afternoon, and Swan
was hurrying toward Albany along the
State road.
There is a slight down.grade on the
road before it crosses the tracks Of the
Albany and Hudson line at grade, and
Swan could not see the trolley car APP
preaching on his left from Albany in
time to stop his machine, as the Clinton
Heights Hotel bid the trolley car from
view until be was within seven!y.6ye
feet of the track.
The automobile had almost crossed the
track when the car struck it, and Nc
KeDzie was thrown forty feet over the
wire fence against pole and killed in
stantly. The driver of the automobile
was pitched out, but not seriously hurt.
1t was learned last night that Mrs.
Mckenzie tried to take her own life in
New York after she had been told over
the phone that her husband was killed.
She lies in a serious condition and her
recovery is doubtful.

Sneaker Cannon in Danger.

Speaker Joseph G. Cannon, of the
House of Representatives, is in danger
of being blown up, unless he ceases to
block legislation in which the Federation
of Women's Clubs is interested. He
should be dy0smiled, thinks Mrs. Mary
Morton Kehew, chairman of the feder-
alton committee on legislation. Mrs.
Kehew in the delivery Of her report to
the federation con vention in Norfolk
yesterday, said: at seems that the con-
mittee having laws in hand experienced
considerable difficulty in having them
enacted at the last session of Congress.
1t was all Speaker Cann0a's fault, as be
retarded definite action persistently.
he ought to be dynamited. Somebody
ought to get behind him with a good big
charge and set it off; then, perhaps,
something would happen. Nothing short
Of dynamite would do to wake him up"
She also declared that women's clubs had
flooded the House Of Representatives be-
cause of the blocking game Of Oanuon's.

STRIKING It RICH
At OSCEOLA MINES
j. l.. MCDONALD BRINGS GOOD
REPORTS FROM THE GRAVEL
PROPERTIES.

The Osceola district is attracting
considerable attention of late. Re-
ports from that locality are very en-
couraging and the Gold Bar Placer
Mining company and the Osceola
Blue Gravel company are striking 1t
rich. The few men who have been
working in the shaft have been TAX
ing out $1,000 worth of gold every
two weeks and during the past week
are said to have doubled that
amount.
Adjoining the Gold Bar company
property is the Osceola Blue Gravel
Placer Mining company. j. l.. Nc
Donald has just returned from that
property after making a thorough in
spection of the claims. He is greatly
pleased with the outlook and reports
that the same old river channel that
the former company is now working
on has been struck in his company's
land. He has about a dollars worth
of gold taken from one pan of gravel
from the Stalwart shaft on the claim
of the same name. The gold is rath-
er coarse and appears to be more
plentiful the further they sink.
For years old miners who have
owned this property" said Mr.. Nc
Donald, "haye labored, endeayoring
to do their assessment work. Several
of them were claim poor. One old
man worked few weeks and took
out $1,000 or so, and then went to
California to have good time.
When he came back he didn't have
any funds to carry out his work. Most
of the old miners usually worked just
long enough to make little pile and
then took it easy.
The Gold Bar people are working
in the cement and are taking all their
gold from off this formation. We ex-
pect to strike through this cement
formation in the shaft on the lower
part of New Era No. and firmly be-
lieve we will strike it very rich if
once we hit the bedrock.

AUTO WILL RUN ON
RAILROAD TRACK
SCHEME OF GOLDFIELD MILLION
ARE TO REACH THE
CAMP.

GOLDFIELD, Aug. 29.-Henry
Weber, one of the millionaire OWL
ers of the Atlanta mine in this dis
trict and promoter of the Vulture at
Wonder, will carry out novel auto
mobile feat in a few weeks, when he
will drive his big machine, the Vul-
ture, from Chicago to Goldfield on
the railroad tracks, making the first
transcontinental auto railroad run.
Flange wheels will be put on the
motor and the necessary changes to
allow the machine to make the
curves through the Rocky Mountains
will be made. Then, with conduct
or and a brakeman in the car, Mr..
Weber will speed along the Union
Pacific and Southern Pacific tracks.
As fast as the Overland Limited
flies across the prairies, up the long
slope of the west side of the Missis-
sippi valley, tearing through the
gorges of the Rockies, the automobile
will come. Train time will be the
schedule, and the dispatchers will
regulate the progress of the car as
it travels, as they do trains.
Slow freights will turn out for
it, just as though the Vulture were
Hartman special. Every adyan-
tage of speed will be looked out for,
and when the car hits the desert
rails it is expected to tear off sixty
miles an hour until the terminal
point is reached.
Weber has already been given a
permit to use the Union Pacific tracks
from Chicago to Ogden, and he is
now negotiating for the use of the
Oregon Short Line and Tonopah &
Goldfield tracks out of Utah and into
Goldfield. The big car is now in New
York Weber has been motoring in
the east for several weeks and will
leave here this week to join the car
for the novel homeward journey.
In the recent Milwaukee auto races
the Vulture made 62 miles an hour,
beating every other car entered.

he was in Cleveland year or more

rather well, but was not entirely ia
miliar with all the idioms. One day
friend whom he met in Cleveland
asked him if he liked the city and he
said Yes"
You should not say Yes. his
friend told him. You should say
Sure, Mike
The baron took the correction in
all seriousness. A few weeks later
he was dining in New York and his
hostess, a rather dignified woman,
asked him if he liked sugar and
cream in his coffee. Then the baron

We're by many II knotty problem,
Crops, politics, money, yeXed-
But what most we'd like to know is
What copper will sell at next.
Like the tomb of old Mahomct,
Hung answering in the air,
'Tis betWiXt twelve cents and a quar-
But will some one say just where?
For we list while each producer
Quotes statistics glib to show
That the outputs less than normal
And consumers stocks are low:
The debate then bark continued
They who lately fought to buy
Swear for trade grown dull they've
plenty
And that coppcr's piling high.
While this tug-of-war's unsettled,
We investors, wrapped in doubt,
Can but WELD our pencils vaguely
To figure where we come out.
Thus-at twenty cents, we figure,
Shall we still in auto glide;
Comes nineteen, chauffeur we part
with;
At eighteen, by trolley ride:
Seventeen, wen quit pcrfectos,
And sixteen close cringing means;
While our butcher and baker will
suffer
Any lower in the teens.
We're unmOved by tales of ore

Where we erst rejoiccd enough;

AT the level that prevails;

Long on ores but short on sales!

STRIKE OF GOLD ORE
SILVER STATE RANGE

WINNEMUCCA, New, Aug. %
The strike of gold ore in the Silver
State range on the group OF claims
owned by w. T. Critchfield, j. j.
Shaw and the Kotelman brothers is
the present mining sensation in Win
nemucca.
Samples of the rich gold ore
brought in by the owners of the orr
ginal strike were placed on exhibition
in front of The Star" Office yester-
day and today, an interesting part of
the exhibit being a gold pan with a
goodly string of yellow colors, the
result of panning of half pound
of the ore. During the entire day
the exhibit was the center of attrac-
ton 'of a large crowd, including min
ing men and prospectors from all
over the country. The ore and the
paintings showed for themselves and
the result was that several parties
went out to the scene of the strike
this morning to look over the ground
and make locations if possible.
Though the strike was made seve-
raj weeks ago, the original claim
owners have had very little to say of
it, preferring that no excitement
should be caused until they had time
to perfect their locations, which has
now been done. But nevertheless
quite number of prospectors have
visited the strike and many locations
close in have been made.
The scene of the strike is about
twenty-five miles northwest of Win
nemucca, in the Silver State range of
mountains Years ago silver mines
were worked in that vicinity and a
number of shipments of rich ore
were made, but operations ceased
with the decline in value of the white
metal. The finding of an arrastra by
Messrs. Critchfield and Shaw near
where they uncovered the rich gold
ore, shows also that years ago there
was some attempt at gold mining in
that section. 1t must have been long
ago, for no one hereabouts has any
recollection of gold having been
found in any quantity in that part of
the country. But there is no doubt
that the present find is an important
one. The lodges are large and well
defined and the paintings and assays
prove that the ore carries the pre-
cious yellow stuff.
The district, as yet unnamed, has
all the earmarks of developing an
other rich gold camp. Should this
be the case it will mean much for
Winnemucca, this place being the
nearest railroad point.
