LATEST
Find IS GREAT.

Surface ore. brought in YESTERDAY
from Tiptop camp, Humboldt Coun-
ty. by W. r. Grant, showed an assay
test values of $1S4 to the ton in gold.
Grant said this was fair average of
a vein four feet wide, just discovered,
and which he believes is the biggest
strike made in the district since the
excitement started there about six
weeks ago, over finding of sensation
al values in the porphyries.
Grant has been at Tiptop for five
weeks, and reached Reno loaded with
bags OF high-grade ore and enthusi-
asm regarding the camp. He dis
played outcroppings from the lodges
that are literally peppered with the
yellow metal. These picture sam
pies, he explained, however, formed
no part of the ore that was tested
which is quartz-porphyry shot vita
hemanite cubes, that are heavy bear
efs of values. He said this ore body
is about two miles north of the camp,
and that another big strike has been
made Just over the hill, on the east
SIDE OF the range, in similar forma-
ton. A third strike was also report
ed in the same vicinity. Near by are
the old Dun Glen, Lang Syne and
other mines which years ago were
famous producers.
Last week was the biggest Tin
Top has ever had in the way of
strikes, Mr.. Grant said, and it is a
lact that wherever the prospectors
get into the black porphyries they
are hnding the values. The quartz,
OF which there is plenty there, carries
gold, but is not so fertile as the nor
phyries. When the mines were op-
Grated years ago the work done was
done III the quartz seams; there was
no deep mining done, and, neverthe-
less, there are properties there that
produced over $1,000,000. Had the
owners not kept away from but
worked in the lime contacts and the
porphyry those mines might have
been producing millions annually
Throughout the period of their idle
ness.
The district is now coming into
its own through knowledge of the
formations carrying greatest values. .

j. HUMPHREYS, who has been an in.

TENINCH STRIKE
OF $1,000 ORE

One OF the biggest things which |
has happened in the Dullfrog dis
trict in a mighty long while is =
strike made recently on the Tramp
Consolidated. In raise which is
being carried from the S50-foot level
at the Denver claim 10 the WORKING |
$4,000 to the ton was broken into. !
superintendent Garden brought a |
chunk OF it, weighing five to six
pounds, up town, and stopped at tn
Miner office as he went along. Some
very rich ore has been taken from
the Tramp. The gold was scattere
all over it, and did not appear to be
in seams or crevices, but continuous
throughout the mass.
In the lace OF the raise there are
TWO stringers of about ton and eight
inches respectively, and each contain
ore OF exceeding richness. Connec-
ton will be completed between the
55O-foot level and the working abov"
which is known as Tunnel No. 4, in
few days, when stopping on the ricl
body will be started.
The entire vein is an excellen,

but when connection between the two
levels is made, and he starts stopping,

The dump can be sorted and a COOL
quantity of shipping picked out. The
TACT OF the matter is that if one is in
search of specimen ore, he does not
nave to look long before he lights on
stuff which fairly glitters with free
gold.
In the same locality, some time
back, when w. D. Blnckmer had
charge of the property, u couple OF
carloads of ore were extracted and
shipped. These returned $12S TO the
ton, but the ore was not TO be COM
pared in richness with the present

departure in the present instance is
the fact that outside ot the greater
richness the ore appears in more gen
erous amounts. The two stringel

WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.-President
Roosevelt upon learning of the at

Heney and one to Adolph Spreckles
expressing his horror and detestation
of the deed. To Mrs. Heney the presi.
dent wired:

news of the attempted assassination of
Mr. Heney and greatly relieved at the
news this morning that he is doing
we'll and will probably recover. I
hope you will accept my deep sympa-
thy. Like every other good American,

for the fearless way in which he has
attacked and exposed corruption with
out regard to the political or the social
of the offender or the dan
gers of the work. Your husband has
taken his life in his hands in doing
this great task for our people and he
is entitled to the credit and esteem
and above all to the heartiest support
of all good citizens. The infamous
character of the mar who has assault
him should add not only to the
horror and detestation felt for the
deed, but to the determination of all
decent citizens to stamp out the pow

MISSOULA, Mont, Nov. 14.-The
strenuous work Of the past two months
on the Fathead reservation in round
ing up and corralling the $50 bison Of
the Pablo herd, purchased by the
Canadian government, has come to
naught and there will be no shipment
of the animals to Canada this year.
Despite all the precautions that had
been taken to insure the success Of
the drive, the enclosure into which
the buffalo had been driven prepare
tory to loading them into cars at RAJ
valli, proved insecure and the herd is
now roaming at will on the reserva-
ton. lMicael Pablo, former owner uf
the herd, Superintendent Douglas Of
the Banff National Park and M. Az
otte, a special agent, have agreed that
1t is not practicable to make another
attempt at this time Of the year on
account of the danger that lies in the
shipment of the animals by train in
cold weather and all effort has been
suspended until next season.
A steep bluff served as one side Of
the rectangular enclosure into which
the animals were driven and it was
over this almost perpendicular cliff
that the herd escaped.
Next summer another attempt will.
probably be made to round UP the
bison.

Harvard Defeats Dartmouth by Break
ing Down the Strong Defense for
One Touchdown and a Goal in Lat
ter Part Of Second Half Of Game.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Nov. a.
Harvard's offense overcame the stub.
born Dartmouth defense in the last
part of the second half of their annual
foot ball game in the Stadium today
and by a splendid demonstration of
all forms of attack the Crimson won,
6 to 0.
Dartmouth fought fiercely and dur
ing the first half the rival elevens
appeared evenly matched but in the
second half the superior weight of the
Crimson team enabled it to pierce
their opponents lines. The story OF
Harvard's single touchdown is a story
ed. Receiving the ball on their own
22-yard line, the Crimson carried 1t
right down the field to the Dartmouth
goal line.
The brunt of the work of the vic.
torious eleven fell on the men behind
the line, eight Of whom played in the
game. Corbett distinguished himself
at left halfback and when he had used
all his strength in telling plunges at
the green line Leslie too kin place and
repeated the performance.
For Dartmouth, Marks at full back
played a splendid game. Repeatedly
he was hurled to the Crimson line
and generally for gains. Pollard, who.
replaced Hawley, was also a great
ground gamer, distinguishing himself.
The first half was principally a kick.
ing game. In the first part of the Sec
ond half punts were in evidence. Har.
ward was penalized Is yards for hold
ing o N the play and then three for
ward passes landed the ball at Dart
mouths nine yard line. Leslie cir
cled Dartmouth's left end for four
yards, Verweib pierced center for two
yards and Leslie carried the ball over
for a touchdown. Mackay kicked an
easy goal. The game ended with the
ball in Harvard's possession on her
own 81 yard line.

GIRL KILLED BY GAS
Found Dead Following /. Night of
Revedry in an Atlantic City Boat
House-Youths Under Arrest Will
be Released by the Police.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Nov. IA
Helen Clark, a p-repossessing girl of
16 years, was found dead from gas
poisoning in a boat house at Gardi-
ner's basin on the thoroughfare just
outside the city today and Arthur
Penny, Jr., and Walter Reynolds, both
aged 18 are under arrest pending an.
investigation.
The three, who are children Of we'll
to do families of this city, were found.
together in the boat house after a
night of revelry. The girl had been.
s%ufocated from gas, which escaped
from a leaking pipe. The young men
were unconscious but they were reviv-
ed with little difficulty at a hospital.
On a table in the room where the
three were found, were several empty
bottles and glasses. Penny, 1t is as
serted, secured the key to the boat
house yesterday. He says he and
Reynolds had known the girl hut q
few months and that they invited her
to have a social time and that only
n bottle of beer and as much cider
was drunk and that the girl did not
drink at all. County Physician Sou
der said tonight that the girls death
was due purely to accident. He added
that there was no evidence that the
young men had maltreated her. The
two youths will probably be re-
leased.

Defense Also Gains a Point, in Bring

Might Have Been Caused BY strych-

LAPORTE, Ind, Nov. 14.-The state,
In the trial of Ray Lamphere for the
murder of Mrs. Belle Guinness and her
three children, forged several links in
the chain to prove that the adult fe-
male body taken from the ruins of the
Guinness house on May 5, was that of
the acknowledges. Witnesses testi-
fed to seeing on the fingers of Mrs.
Guinness during life the two rings in
troduced in evidence and testified to
being found IN the fingers of the dead
woman.
DIR. l. P. Norton, Mrs. Guinness dent
list, furnished probably the strongest
proof yet introduced by fully identify
ing diagrams of Mrs. Guinness mouth,
describing the dental work which he
did for her and they fully and COM
pletely identifying The gold crowns
and false teeth found in the ruins as
Guinness.
The defense scored one point, when
DR.. j. ]. William Meyer, a state wit
ness, gave it as his opinion that death
was due to Contraction Of the heart,
like some cases Of poisoning, possibly
strychnine."
The indictment against Lamphere is
first degree murder, and so the de-
Tense is elated. DR.. Meyers testimony
in a certain degree supported the evil
dence of DR.. Long, who gave it as his
opinion that death might have been
caused by strychnine poisoning.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 14.-Ex-
changes have been in progress be-

a more definite statement touching
the ~latter's attitude toward Manchu-

tions having considerable interests in

CHINESE RULER
PASSES AWAY
EMPRESS DoWA6ER is in a
SERIOUS CONDITION.
OFFICIAL STATEMENTS
Prince chun is Declared to Be Regent,
the indisposition Of the Dowaser
L%essening Her Power at a Critical,
Moment-No Outbreak Anticipated.

PEKIN, Nov. 15.-S p. m.-The EN-
peror died shortly after 5 O'Clock this
evening. &
The foregoing dispatch from Pekin
sets at rest the conflicting rumors OF
the past two days that have originated
in Pekin and have been published
around the world.
The emperor of China is dead. The
report from London Of his improve
ment probably referred to a temporary
change only. This Pekin message is
the first unqualified statement to come
from the Chinese capital and it spe-
officially gives the time of the pass
ing away of his majesty.
The regent is Prince Chun, the en-
peror's brother, and if he is accept
ed by the government before the dow
ager empress dies, the likelihood Of
any revolutionary outbreak in China
will be materially reduced.
The emperor had been ill for q
long time and during recent audiences
with foreign representatives he was
unable either to sit upon the throne
or even In an erect position. 1t was
known for a long time that he would
not be able to withstand a crisis,
which sooner or later must develop
in the disease from which he is suf-
fering. Recent climatic extremes
caused fatal complications.
At the moment of the death OF the
emperor, the dowager empress was
waiting in the court yard. She, too,
had been in a serious condition and
word that was brought to her earlier
in the day that the emperor was dy-
ing, caused her to collapse. This pre-
vented her from assuming the relation
ship of grand mother to the successor
to the throne, which according to the
Chinese system, would enormously
augment her authority.
There is little Indication Of emotion
among the people over the events
which have been transpiring. The en-
peror's death and the probable death
OF the dowager empress within a very
short time have had but little effect
upon the Chinese, who are pursuing
the ven tenor Of their way without
of mourning.
Kwang Haus' later life was a pitia-
BILE spectacle to his attendants. His
had rendered him a mere
and he had suffered long from
i'll health, which was combined with
fear and despair. Latterly he showed
marked signs Of mental disturbances
and went so far last August as to de-
clare himself mad.
