BIG HUSH TO RAwHDE.
Miners Flocking Into New Gold Field
In Yasr Numbers.

| Reno, New, Mar. I.-Rawhde, the
new bonanza mining camp, has today
a population of 5000 and is growing.
Over SO automobiles are now work.
ing night and day taking prospectors
into the camp and freight teams are
streaming along the. roads. from Fall
lon and Schurz to Rawhide, loaded
with lumber and building materials
and provisions.
The eastern contingent is now be-
ginning to arrive from New York and
Philadelphia, having journeyed here
to represent mining magnates in the
new field. Denver and Colorado ope-
rators have been in the field for a
week or more and some have leases
working already.
By actual count there are 150 sub
stantlal wooden buildings and 2700
tents in use for dwellings and busi-
ness purposes. Fully 200 more wood
en- structures are in course Of con-
structlon.
The excitement over Rawhide has
grown to such magnitude during the
past week that the movements to the
new camp In the northern end of the
Esmeralda county now transcends
any rush In the history of gold min
ing In the west, not even excepting
the spectacular stampede to the Klon-
dixie.
Goldfield, Tonopah, Bullfrog and
all other southern Nevada mining
camps are being almost depopulated
by frenzied gold-seekers who are leav-
ing for Rawhide.
What makes the camp a certainty
is that the signs of permanency are
manifest.
On the west side of the camp sui
phide rock has been found. This is
on the Blakesley lease. The rich ore
on Balloon Hill is in rhyolite Al
streak of telluride Of silver has been
found in the Tiger and Royal.
The airship fraction on Balloon
Hill between the Murray and Kearns
lease, has struck what is believed to
be the contact vein. Every mining
man will know what that means.
The placers. Of which much has
been said, are situated five miles
north Of the main part of Rawhide,
and are proving very rich.
A mill will be ready in three weeks
Work on its construction is going on
now. When 1t is completed the camp
is to go on a payroll basis.

RACE TROUBLES IN CHICAGO
Arrival of Police Prevents What
Looked Like Bloody Clash.

Chicago.-White people and negroes
fought with bricks and clubs today in
desperate race encounter in an alley in
the rear of 156 Chicago avenue. Hur.
ried riot calls we're sent in by citizens,
and the opportune arrival of the patrol
wagon, filed with policemen, who
charged the combatants, prevented IA
talities.
Twelve white teamsters and a score
of negroes participated in the disturb
ance, which was started by one of the
white men hurting a brick at a negro.
The mixup became general, and word
was passed quickly to a negro saloon
nearby, and a swarm of negroes poured
out to join in the fight. just as they
arrived the patrol wagon reached the
scene and further trouble was pre-
vented.
Reserves will be held at the police
stations and the North Side sections
populated by negroes doubly patrolled
until all danger of trouble is passed.

WILSON PROMISES PARDON
Offers Freedom to Walker Duncan
for Killing Night Rider.

Louisville, Ky.-While lying i'll at
Norton Infirmary, where he had under
gone an operation yesterday, Walker
Duncan of Shelby county, who shot and
killed Newt Hazlett, alleged night
rider, several weeks ago, received a
letter from Gov. Wilson announcing
that he would grant him a pardon for
killing Hazlett if he preferred this to
~vindication in court.
The governor said he had looked into
the circumstances and was said to have
said Duncan acted in protection OF his
home. This is in line with the gov
ernor's recent proclamation as to the
Bracken county situation, when he said

New Canal VIII Drain 5000 Acrss.


The canal in Eastern Arkansas
which will drain about 5000 acres OF
land and which extends from a point
near Mound City to Ten Mile bayou,
a distance of about two and one-half
miles, has just been completed, and ii
is thought that the effects Of the new
waterway will soon be noticed on the
land that will be drained. 1t is esti-
mated that thousands of acres of land
will be drained anu made available
for farming purposes. The canal was
built under the direction of Benjamin
G. Covington, chief engineer OF the
St. Francis levee board.
The new canal, in draining the land,
will not only make it fit for farming
purposes, but at the same time will
eliminate a great deal Of danger that
has threatened the Mississippi river
levee for some time. The standing
water reached the levee and the lat
ter was attacked by water on both
sides. 1t will render the country
more healthful as in getting rid OF
the wet lands the mosquitoes, which
disseminate malarial diseases, will be
to a great extent eliminated.

RETURNS HOME TO BURY BABE
Refugee From Missouri Driven From
Kentucky by Night Riders.

Paducah, Ky.-With his wife and a
little white coffin, Buddy Nichols, an
exile from Grand Rivers, passed
through Paducah today for his former
home, to bury the body OF his little
child. Not until he learned that Grand
Rivers vas patrolled by soldiers did he
return from his refuge in Missouri. His
young child died several days ago.
Nichols was q prominent business
man of Grand Rivers and was whipped
by night riders and ordered to leave the
state. Nichols was not q tobacco
grower, but held notes against parties
for sewing machines, and to avoid pay
ment it is said night riders forced him
to leave. The soldiers will stand guard
while the body of the child will be
buried in the family graveyard.
Nichols was q prominent man and
recognized many of the men, but nc in
dictment has ever been returned.
Nichols will leave the state immediate
ly after the funeral for his new home.

CRUISER COLORADO DAMAGED
Forward Plates Badly Denied by
Collision With Rocks.

Washington.-The cruiser Colorado,
which went on the rocks at Double
Bluff, Puget Sound, was more seriously
damaged than was at first supposed.
An examination at the Bremerton navy
yard showed that her forward plates
we're badly dented in several places
and that the plates were sprung. 1t
will be necessary to put the vessel in
dry dock for perhaps thirty days to
make repairs. The Colorado will be
unable to join the Pacific fleet on its
cruise to the Samoan Islands, but it is
expected that she will join it probably
on the return trip from the Samoan
Islands to Honolulu.

No Military Occupation, However,

The Hague.-With the simple pro.
viso that no military occupation of ter
ritory must occur, the government at
Washington is understood to have
given the cabinet Of the Netherlands q
free hand to deal as it sees fit with
President Castro OF Venezuela.
The recent interview between Arthur
M. Beaupre, the American minister,
and the Netherlands prime minister
was cordial and Mr.. Beaupre was able
to assure the Netherlands statesman
that the Netherlands had the sympathy
OF the state department and that nc OBJ
lection would be raised to a blockade
or other maratime measures against
Venezuela: in short, that the United
States was ready to allow the Neither
lands fleet perfect liberty of action,
provided no territory was seized.

Yesterday there was a great attend

Gus or a f%ootrace. A small boy climbed
a. tree along the bank to obtain a bet

limb broke and a lad fell. The fall

service amid side remarks such as
this:

"Skiddoo!"

there were cat calls and demonstra-
