MORTALITY AT
RAWHIDE IS Low
BUT THIRTY -FOUR DEATHS
SINCE DISCOVERY OF
CAMP.

W. w. Booth, who has just re
turned from Rawhide, says that tho
reported heavy mortality in thai
thriving camp is a lie made out OF
whole cloth and that up to last Mon.
day night the records show that tn.
number of deaths were thirty-four.
By comparison with the first year OF
Tonopah's existence this showing is
remarkable, when one stops to ON
slider that Rawhide now has a pop.
ulation of owe 5000, and that Tone
pah had 1000 the first year. During
that time the epidemic carried OF
sixty.
Mr.. Booth also reports everything
progressing satisfactorily and thar
capitalists and investors from the
East are coming In daily.
The cement for the reservoir on
Balloon Hill, which will supply the
town with water is on the ground
and the bitches have been dug and
the pipe lines laid. The machinery
for the electric lighting plant arrived
yesterday and men are now employed
in putting UP poles and stringing the
wires. II Is expected that the plant
will be in operation inside of three
weeks.
The Reynolds-Tanner lease on the
Poor Boy has a shipment of 225
sacks of rich ore, which they sent
out yesterday. They are now talk
ing about putting up a hoist as they
cannot get the ore out quick enough.
and at the rate at which they are
going after It, they will need the
hoist about the time they can have il
ordered and shipped to the ground.
A great string OF people went out
TO the Regent district Monday to pur-
chase a lease from four walters, who.
at a depth of twenty feet, struck i
ledge with enormous values. So ricn
we're the values that they were car
rying out the ore in dishpans. not
waiting to purchase buckets. They
refused a large number OF offers for
the lease.
A wagon road has been completed
to the Royal property and the leasers.
in that district are now making ship
ments.
Bovard, a district about eighteen
miles due south Of Rawhide. is at
tracing considerable attention. Sam
pies taken from surface lodges go
$4,000 a ton.
over fifty cars OF freight are now
on the siding at schurz, billed to

Big SHIPMENT BY
The SHOSHONE

Twelve gold bricks were brought
down from the Shoshone and sent By
express to the mint this week, the ag.
gregate value Of which is $4,000,
This bullion represents the saving OF
the mill from the ninth Of March
until the first of April, a period OF
only twenty-one days.
A partial report of the experts,
krum and Coleman, who recently
made a thorough examination of the
mine for eastern stockholders, has
been made public in the east, through
The brokerage firm Of Weir Bros. o.
New York. The report states that
the Montgomery shoshone has mil
lions of dollars worth of ore blocked
out in its workings and predicts an
important advance in the price of its
shares.
The Shoshone mine is, without ex-
ception, the best mining property in
the state Of Nevada today. At the
present rate the mill will easily out
put $4,000 per month and the
shipemnts of concentrates viii in
this amount by at least $75,.
900 more.
The full report of the experts Will
be made public in a few days and is
expected to create a sensation in the
mining world.-Rhyolite Bulletin.

RdWhide Attracts
Los Angeles Man

Charles L. Natnors,, VINO was for
many years with Senator w. 4.
Clark, is here in the interest OF Los
Angeles and Eastern capital, and has
been looking over the camp for the
past ten days. Nj. Nathorst says
that he is not half through with his
Inspection. but that he has already
seen enough to warrant the assertion
that Rawhide is going to be a great
camp.
TO tell the truth, said Mr.. Nat
horst, II was rather disappointe /
when | first came here. / found
that everybody was so busy that no
n had time to tell me anything or
to show me anything. But | met
a. II. Douglass. an old-time mining
man, and who is the manager of the
Rawhide Wonder King Combination
Leasing and Mining company. He
did not tell me much, but asked me
to 90 with him and look at some prop
critics. | went with him out to the
Royal Mines company's groups and
then ! began to see what l had come
to look for.
MY inspection has been confnei
thus far to the western district, my
examination Of other properties hav-
ing been only superficial. But / hava
enough to know that You are
going to have a great camp here, for
there is everything in its favor, the
principal thing being the ore. 1
spent all n day on the Royal Tiger,
Bushwhaeker and the Wonder King,
and the showings are marvellous. palt-
nings being found everywhere, the
paintings being very coarse. This was
especially so on the Wonder King,
where the values exist in a dacite
dixie.
For the work that has been
done. the showings are the more
wonderful. There is such a strong
dixie formation, which indicates nat
urally, strength and permanency, that
good assurance is given to scientific
and practical men. This is bopvdl

PROHIBITION
IS AN ISSUE
IOWA LEaIsLATuRE WILL BE
FORCED TO WREsTLE WITH
INTRICATE PROBLEMS.

Des Moines. Iowa, Dec. 17.-Prepar-
ations are already under way for the
most determined effort Of recent years
not only to secure starter for anoth
er prohibitory amendment to the Iowa
constitution but also to secure some
drastic legislation on the enforcement
of the present Iowa liquor laws. The
radical temperance element are making
great claims as TO what they will be
able to do at the coming session. They
insist that majority OF the members
are inclined toward stringent prohi
bition laws and will pass almost any
measure presented. They claim to-
have polled both houses and find that
the prohibitory amendment is sure to
go through the 33rd assembly and be
passed up to the next one. They say
that even IL few of the members
who are not enthusiastic at first de-
cline TO act they will be able to. bring
such pressure on them that the will
comply.
1t is also claimed that the next gov
ernor owes his election absolutely to
the organized temperance forces Of the
state and they insist that he Is Under
such pledge to them that they will be
able to make the best possible use Of
the patronage at the disposal of the
state administration.

there was nothing to do but let the

says that the reported estimate OF the
loss was much too small, that the stock
would have invoiced close upon $500
and the building was worth about
$1,000, partially covered by insurance.
The stock was to have been sold by
auction last Monday, as well as the Ak
