AFTER THE GETAWAYS.
Joliet Escapes Have Terrific Gaunt-
LET to Run.

CHICAGO, Sept. 5.-Efforts to
catch Clarence Wise and James Kai-
ser, the two convicts who escaped
Thursday from the Joliet penitentiary
had been unsuccessful upto a late
hour last night. The prison officials
have tracked them by their hobnail
shoes to the cornhelds on the farm of
Charles Doctor, four miles south of
Orland, in Cook County. A large
force of men have been stationed to
watch the roads and railroads to pre-
vent the fugitive getting through the
lines and into Chicago. The search
OF the fields was kept up throughout
the night and it is expected to find
the men today.

A DEAD CIVILIZATION.
Cliff Lands of Utah Once Home Of
An Intelligent Race.

SALT LAKE CITY, Sept s.--That
the great Mesah cliffs and canyons
that now form q large part OF the de.
solate region included in San Juan
County in the southeastern part OF
Utah, was once the home OF an ex-
tensive population that had reached
some degree of civilization is the
opinion of Professor Byron Cum
mings of the University of Utah, who
has just returned from three months
exploring trip Of that region 1t has
already been established that this des-
ert stretch was once inhabited but
through the efforts of Professor Cum
mings and his co-workers, it is shown
that not only were these desolate
cliffs and desert stretches once the
center OF considerable population,
but that the people had arrived at a
considerable degree OF cleverness in
building and the making OF pottery
and weapons.

General Allen, chief Of the United

Seven TrOuehs
Keeps Coming

SEVEN TRouGHS, April -
Three striking events in connection
with the great Mazuma Hills proper
ty are claiming attention here. A
compromise wage scale between the
company and the miners union.
with the exception Of one item. has
been reached; the company has de-
eided to increase its force to at least
so men April 10. and thereafter to
run on full capacity basis. and the
third event of today Is two 20 ton
shipments of ore that will aggregate
a small fortune.
At a meeting between the miners
committee and the operators a COM
promise wage scale was practically
agreed upon, giving miners $40,
top men 81, engineers. timbermen.
carpenters, IS. This scale Is higher
than the one recently published by
the company, but lower than the ex-
listing wage scale. The agreement
removes a long felt anxiety and
causes actual jubilation. 1t Is be-
lieved labor conditions have now
reached basis of stability.
Following the wage agreement IL
was announced that the Mazuma
Hills company would put on so men
April | and operate the property on
full capacity basis. This will In.
augurate a productive record here
that will astonish Nevada.
One of the shipments today came
from the Mazuma Hills mine and the
other from the Reagan lease on the
Mazuma Hills estate. A series of
assays of the ore before II went out
indicate that 1t will average over
800 to ton. The company's 20 tons
is the product of less than half
dozen men working little more than
week A grab sample of the Rea-
gan ore recently gave an average of
81, 445 per ton.

LEDGE OF $500 ORE.

If report given out in this city

James and others is true. the new
mining camp of Selby. In the West
Comstock mining district today has
the richest undeveloped mine In the
state of Nevada, says the Carson
News. These gentlemen arrived
from Selby and brought with them
samples of ore taken from the new
ly discovered ledge on the property
owned by Bud Barclay and J. NJ.
Benton of this city. This ore is of
white quartz, scanned with iron sui
phides, which carries the gold The
samples they displayed in Reno were
taken from 30 foot ledge, and
according to their statements, the
ledge will run $500 across the face
In gold and 80 ounces in silver. They
declare that they have assay certi-
ficates to show this, and that al
though the statement sounds absurd,
they are ready to vouch for 1t.
The ore does not show a particle
of free gold, but IL is the same char
acter of ore that was taken from
many of the rich mines of California
years ago. II is beautiful white
quartz and carries values that will
make Selby the greatest mining camp
IN Nevada within another year. The
news of the rich strike created much
excitement and many left for the
camp. Selby is becoming a familiar
name In Reno and prospectors from
all parts of the state are preparing

Democrats Plan
Holding Convention

While the Democrats of Nevada
slight difference of opinion among
some of the leaders as to the oues-
ton of whether one or two conyen-
lions shall be held this year and
where those conventions shall take
place
The real difference of opinion, like
that in the Republican party of the
state, Is regarding the complexion of
the delegation TO the national con-
vention. Some of the leaders are
strongly pro-Bryan. Others tend to
a fight for the field.
II Is the custom in every state In
the union but Nevada TO hold two
conventions during the year of a
presidential election-4one to select
delegates to the national convention,
the otner 10 nominate presidential
electors and such other officials as 1t
may be the duty of the people of the
state to vote for during that year.
Nevada, too, used to hold two con-
ventions in presidential years until
the '90s- when the two old parties,
Democratic and Republican. both fell
away to nothing in the face OF the
whirlwind of the Silver party upris-
Ing. The Silver party was not par
ticular1y concerned about the matter
of sending delegates to a national
convention, since it had no national
convention, and the Democratic and
Republican parties were so numer-
ically weak and financially impover-
ished that II became impossible. at
least inadvisab1e, for them to hold
conventions twice in presidential
year. So. beginning with 1896, 1t be-
came the custom for the state central
committee of each party to meet in
the spring of the presidential year
and select delegates To the national
convention. Both Democrats and Re
publieans continued this system in
1900. but in 1904 the Republicans
broke away from 1t, and held a
spring convention at Virginia City.

minerals mined. Vast copper depos-
its are being developed, along with
the gold and silver. In addition, the
stock industry is In fiourishing con-
dition. and there is being developed
large agricultural district along the
! Truckee-C Carson canal system, built
by the United States reclamation SER
vie In the Carson valley, where hun
dreds of farmers are settling, to be-
come permanent residents and TO
build up new and profitable indus
try, for Nevada has heretofore not
been noted for her agricultural prod
ucts.
The fact that the press dispatches
tell nothing of the development of
farming in Nevada shows how little
Importance Is attached to this phase
of the states advancement. The Neva-
dams, those who have been there for
years know little about farming, and
care less. Those who have gone to
Nevada as a result of the mining ex-
element are accustomed to farm
probably. in the states they left, and
at any rate they did not go to Ne
vada to farm, but to scratch a for
tune OFF the top of the ground.
Nevertheless, an agricultural peri
cd is dawning in Nevada. There are
great possibilities in this line, and
they will be gradually developed. as
sources of water supply are sought
out and made use of.
Summing 1t all up, there is a
boom on in Nevada, and IL is substan-
tial, barring few fake mining propo-
sitions. There are towns of several
thousand Inhabitants in southern
Nevada that had no existence six or
seven years ago. Reno is three times
as large now as she was then, and
is still growing. This is the states
metropolis, and has In six years de-
veloped from a village into city,
with city conveniences and appear
ance The new railroad town of
Sparks, with a normal payroll of
built In four years. None of the old
towns-Carson City, Virginia City,
and others-have decreased in popu-
lation. Reno alone has nearly as
great population as had the entire
state few years ago.
| Nevada has been a much abused
state. and much of the abuse has
been undeserved. but she is more
greatly abused by her own press
agents. who send out wild tales that
the writer's should hardly expect peo.
pie TO believe. Some are found to
be purely fabrications, while in 9TH
ers an unimportant incident is mag
nified and made to appear of great
Importance. An ordinary strike in
a mine is made to assay a fabulous
sum. A robbery of small amount
is, by the addition of one or two CT
piers or the misplacing of decimal
made to read a large sum. Mining
men are made to fight over fabulous
ly rich claims that are never heard
of. and in one way and another
along with the criminal news, is the
public told of Nevada In a manner
that is not at all calculated to in
spire confidence in any true story
that may be told.
The Spectator can find plenty to
interest him and to try his wits in
Nevada. and there are opportunities
there for men of all inclinations 70
profit If they go there to seek that
for which they are best suited.

GOLD CIRCLE MINER

Colonel Mark W. Musgroye, the
well known Nevada newspaper man

important Law
to Horse Shippers

Those of White Pine who may have
occasion to ship horses to points out
side Of Nevada, would do we'll to
heed the experience of shippers of
other sections. A law on the statutes
of Nevada, makes 1t unlawful to ship
or drive horses from this state with

respective county, complete rec
ord of brands of each animal.
The law will work a little DIM
Guilty upon legitimate shippers but
nevertheless it is for their protec-

lection and the builty can easily be
