PERoR'S DEATH is MADE.

Pekin, China, Nov. 13.-Kwang Su.
the Emperor of China, died in the i'm
'perial palace this morning at the ago
of SO, of complication of diseases.
He would not accept Western med
ical assistance
The condition of the emperor grew
so serious that the various legations
here sent cabled reports thereon to
their respective governments.
There were circumstantial rumors
for the past few days among the peo-
pie of the death of the emperor and
his little brother. the infant son of
Prince Chun, had been brought into
the palace.
The emperor suffered for ten years
from chronic nephritis. condition
which complicated with diabetes
and saiatioo. II is admitted that his
brain was affected.
The legations stood ready to lend
their physicians to attend His Majes-
ty, but in August of this year the Do
wager empress declined offers to this
end made by the British and German
legations and consequently no further
proffers were made.
Although the government ga
zetted during the past few days audi
ences between the emperor and mem
bers of the grand council, there was
reason to believe that these have been
in name only. There was
no actual audience since Novem-
ber S. 1t is known that yesterday an
absolutely untrue statement of an ai-
dience was made public.

Ever since Carmack was shot by

SENATORS NIXON AND NEWLANDS
SAID TO HAVE REACHED AGREEMENT

At meeting of the directors of the
Goldfield Republican club with the
County Central committee last evening
it was decided to call the primaries for
the state convention this evening, the
date to be August Z, says the Goldfeld
Tribune.
The railroads have grantd the com

Republican state convention in Gold
field, the date to be during the first
week in September. The rate will APP
ply from Nevada points and from San
Francisco, Los Angeles and other cities
on the coast. Local people, irrespective
of parties, will probably get together,
and in the true Goldfield way show
what the camp is doing.
Republican leaders in this district
are startled over a report from the

into a compact the result of which Will

MAYfLOWER TAKING OUT
100 TONS OF ORE A DAY
POISONING
OF SHEEP IN UTAH

A number of sheep were recently
poisoned by eating chokecherry leaves
while passing over driveway across
part of the Manti National forest in
Utah, and, though sheep driveways
are not strictly part of the national
forest range, the government has TAX
EN- steps to prevent further losses to
the sheepmen from this cause Mem
bers of the force on the forests will
cooperate with stockmen in cutting
out the thickets of chokecherry bushes
where they grow most densely, thus
allowing the sheep to be hurried
through them, and in some cases the
driveway will be changed so az 10
avoid the thickets altogether.
When the shep enter this driveway
they are hungry after long trip over
public highways, which form almost
one continuous lane between cultivat-
cd fields. They eat the chokecherry
leaves ravenously, though under ordi-
nary conditions they would hardly
touch them. The leaves contain prus-
sic acid, and when an examination
was made of the stomachs of several

are often destructive to livestock. and
in this case DR.. d. Marsh is con

from predatory animals. but govern
ment hunters and trappers are busy
reducing the number of mountain
lions and timber wolves, which do the
most damage. Finally, there is the
insignificant prairie dog, which selects
the choicest grassy bottoms for it's
operations. strips them to the soil,
and pIows up the ground for its bur
rows. They have gone after the
prairie dog now, however. and by the
use of an effective poison will soon
put an end to this pest.

HAYES-MAZUMA LEASE
Is WORKING VIGOROUSLY
(Lovelock Tribune


w. G. Howard, general superintene-
ent for the Hayes Mazuma lease, op-
Grating a valuable block of ground on
the famous Mazuma Hills property r
the Seven Troughs district, was y
Lovelock visitor last Saturday. Mr..
Howard was en- route east on short
business trip and he expects to returr
in about ten days.
When seen by Tribune representa-
tive Mr.. Howard said that work at the
lease was being prosecuted vigorously
with full quota of miners. "The
company is sinking two shafts, both of
which are now down to the 100-foot
mark" continued Mr. Howard. cit
is intended to sink to the 2OO-foot
mark as quickly'a as possible, and when
this point is reached series Of cross
cuts and drifts will be commenced. A
25-horse power gasoline hoist has been
installed over one of the shafts ana
as soon as arrangements can be per-
fected the second hoist, with the same
capacity. AS soon as the crosscuts are
well started at the 200-foot level, sink
ing will be resumed and no time will
be lost in dropping the shafts to the
400-foot levels. When the plans now
mapped out by the company are car
ried out it is almost a certainty that
the Hayes Mazuma lease will rank
among the biggest shippers of the Sew
en- Troughs district
In speaking generally of the dis
trict, Mr. Howard was more than en-
thusiastic and said that recent devel-
opments have demonstrated the exist
ence of wonderful ore bodies, both of
high grade and milling qualities In
the Reagan lease, which is also located
on the Mazuma Hills property, an un-
usual strike has been made. In one of
the drifts at the 165-foot level 3-foot
ledge of picture rock was opened up
recently. The Tribune's informant did
not state what the assay values wer.,
butvolunteered the information that
the entire three feet would ship with
out any sorting whatever. Aside from
the high grade streak there is about
12 feet of first tclass milling ore. The
low grade ore is being treated at the
