Prophesying that the Sahara sand

contemporary, goes on to say:
The Sahara rivers all hide a rich
subterranean stratum of water, and
form the natusal passage OF the Sudan.

vegetation can be largely developed
In the south of Temassinim and In

same is true for the seeds planted

which the Tuarges get in the harvest
Trees are not so rare in the Sahara

guides to caravans, always choose the
most difflcult and desolate routes, in
order to keep the caravans in a state
Of dependency.
Caravans become more frequent;
travellers succeed each other; but the
secret of the Sahara is we'll kept and
Its reputation of barreuness is we'll

crossed .he Sahara and reached Tim

behind chain Of hills which he
uassed there was a place called by the
natives "The Head OF the Waters"
DR.. Barth, who was for four months
N T'Iargey camps and was the guest
and friend of Shiek ell Babey, was
told innumerable facts about tfle tradi

geography was hidden from him.
When he explored the region Of an
arm of the Niger he found a lake near
" 100 miles long, and when he extend
ed his excursions he found not only
one but 20 lakes, all very large, and
stretched far to the north into the
very heart of the Sahara.

therefore no vegetation, where does

Wholesale Prison Break Nipped.

A wholesale break of the prisoners at
the state penitentiary near this city was
nipped III the bud by Warden Maxwell
and his men this week and now a. closer
watch and lookout is being kept on the
convicts owing to the fact that the
inmates would have to make break
before winter comes if they expected to
escape. The warden and men in charge
at the prison several days ago suspected
something was wrong about the place
and trouble was brewing. A quiet in
vestigation was Immediately begun and
this finally eliminated in the searching
of the cells, the dining room and other
places where the prisoners had access.
In the dining room eight daggers and
stilletos, six billies ane slung shots and
other weapons were discovered hidden
beneath tables. in secret drawers and
other places about the building, All
the weapons were taken by the officers
who thoroughly searched every cell, all
the rooms and other places about the
buildings
Sufficient details We're learned from
the convicts to know that they planned a
general break and the weapons found
were to he used by the deseprate leaders
in the c.fJrt to get away.
The conditions at the prison are UNI
unusually propitious just now for a
break owing to the fact that the work
on the installing OF cells is still in pro-
gross and the quarters arenot sufficient
to accommodate the prisoners in the
proper manner.-Carson News.

Mysterious Murder

Frank Ciscilini, an Italian miner, was
shot and killed about midnight last
night at Round Mountain house of
ill-famo, the person who shot him
being unknown as yet and no arrests
have been made.
Two revolvers were used and they
were found, but Ciscilini had no gun
and did not return the fire that was
aimed at him. One of the pistols was
an automatic and the other an old style
six shooter. Abrut ten shots were
fred. He was shot only once, through
the neck. From the course of the bullet
it is believed he was STOPPING or duck
ing to avoid being shot. He was far
enough away that there were no powder
marks on him. A number of person
were in and about the house, known as
Lucky H." conducted by Marie
Walker. One SHOT was fired inside but
just where Ciscilini was then has not
been ascertained. He was outside
when he was shot, however.
Ciscilini was expecting to leave for
Berlin but expected to marry one of
two sisters in the half world of Round
Mountain and gave up going to Berlin
at once, and said he would marry the
girl. today. One of the sisters was
Alice Miller. The others first name,
or the name she goes by, was not
learned. Just what that had to do with
the killing is not known, but the theory
at Round Mountain is that the girl had
Clover who was determined that the
marriage should not take place, and
shot the man to prevent it. Yet the
fact of the two guns having been found
tends to involve two persons in the
shooting.
