SOLID SILVER
ORE FOUND
At RAWHIDE

RAWHIDE, Nov. 4.-Solid silver
ore so pure it can be whitfield with
penknife has been struck on the
Dromiack lease of the Queen ground.
The ledge, so far encountered, is
three feet wide and has every indica-
ton of making large ore body.
Fourteen inches next to the foot
wall is sacked as it comes from the
ledge, this ore will run better than
$500 per ton. Next to the hanging
wall is small stringer that assays
very high in gold. The company,
which is composed of well known
mining men from Reno and Raw
hide, are highly elated over the new
strike.
Wednesday about twenty sacks of
the picked specimens had been
sacked, ready for shipment. The ore
was struck almost at grass roots as
an open cut was run into the hill in
order that the ledge could be cut.
Where the ore was encountered the
depth was not more than fourteen
feet from the surface. Mark Brad
shaw, who is operating the leasehold
is the general manager and secretary
of the company.

city officials. The work of destruc-
ton started early this morning with
a small force of men at work. Chi
nese inmates who refused to vacate
had their homes torn down over
them. When several houses had been
torn down and burned, the fire chief
gave permission to set fire to the rest
in places where the fire could be con-
trolled. Some forty shacks, covering
over block OF ground, were razsd.

FRESHMEN, CAN
GO ON STRIKE.
Judge Thompson of the FEEDER
al Court Refuses to Make
Injunction Permanent.

Cincinnati, Feb. Efforts of the
United Typothetae of America to force
the International Printing Pressmen's
and Assistants union of North Amer
lea to live up to an alleged agreement
whereby the eight-hour work day would
not be instituted until after Jan i, 1909.
met with defeat in the United States
court today, when Judge Thompson
handed down a decision in which he
says the union committee did not have
the power to bind the union by the
agreement il entered into with the COM
mittee from the typOtheIae. The ty-
pothetae was granted a TEN pOrary in
Junction some time ago to prevent the
officers of the Pressmen's union from
calling a strike. They asked for a
permanent injunction, claiming that
the officers of the union had signed an
agreement with the typothetae for a
nine-hOur day and that an eight-hour
day would not be instituted until after
Jan. l, 1909.
The officers of the union admitted
that the agreement had been signed by
some of them, but contended that il
was not binding as the members of the
union had not ratified the agreement.
Judge Thompson in his decision today
held that the agreement made by the
officers of the union providing for a
nine-hour day does not bind the rank
and file of the union to work nine hours,
but only to work nine hours if they
work at all and he denied the petition
for permanent injunction.

REGULAR SESSION TUESDAY
Inaugural Meeting of the Philippine
Legislature Closed-0nly One
Member Unseated.

Manila, Feb. 1.-The inaugural session
of the Philippine legislature closed at
1:l5 O'Clock tonight. The first regular
session will open next Tuesday morning
The final session was made memOra-
Die by consideration of the assembly
resolution to un9eat DOminador Gomez.
The vote was a tie. The speaker then
cast his ballot in favor of Gomez, and
the resolution was lost. The question
of the citizenship of Gomez was the
only point decided. The matter of his
moral character is to be considered by
a committee in connection with a resO-
luton to give him a seat during the
regular session.
During the opening session, thirteen
protested election cases were finally, de-
cided, twelve delegates elected Oh the
face of the returns being seated and
one unseated. One hundred and TWEEN
ty-five bills were introduced. of which
five passed both houses. One passed
the assembly, but was rejected by the
commission.
There was no disorder throughout the
session and Governor General Smith
has expressed his satisfaction with the
conduct of the assemblymen since they
were convened.
Late Secretary Ferguson of the Phil
ippine commission viii be given a state
funeral ON Monday. His remains prob
ably will be shipped to the United
States on the transport Sherman for in
terment at Washington.

MOST Of THE DEAD NEGROES
Ruin in the Path of Tornado in Miss
issippi-Houses, Mills and Trees
Moved Down.

Wesson, Miss, Feb. Extending
forty miles from west to east, the path
of destruction made yesterday by the
tornado just north of here, was today
found to be a worse disaster than at
first reported. In the tornado path to-
day the dead numbered eight, the IA
tally injured four, and the seriously in
jured at least 100. There are fears that
the death list may reach fifteen or
twenty, most of those believed to be
dead being negroes who have not been
accounted for since their cabins were
crushed The damage is estimated con-
servatively at $500 300, and may reach
half a million. In the wreckage lie four
churches and six cotton gins and sew
eral country stores.
This tornado is the fourth in this sec
ton in twenty-five years and one of the
worst. 1t literally moved down trees,
houses and mills, and a nearly straight
line across a large portion of Copiah
county.

Where Opportunity offers.

To another questiOner, as TO if it
would not be better to send emigrants
chiefly to Korea and Manchuria, Baron
Chinda replied that it was not neces-
sary to limit their destination. Wher-
ever an opportunity offered for the pro-
motion of japanese interests, Japan's
energy would be directed there.
At another sectional meeting, NJ. De-
shi asked Minister of War Terauchi
why Japan should maintain a large mil
itary force and continue military prep
arations in the presence of assured
peace. like the present. He also point
ed out the fact that the nation was al
ready feeling the burden entailed there
by.
Minister Terauchi replied that even in
European countries, where there was
not the slightest probability of war, no
nation retrenches in the matter of its
national defense The fullest military
equipment was the best guarantee of
peace. Japan's armament was not di-
rected against anybody. but the nation
must always be prepared against event
ualities.

Queen Will Be Recent.

Among the first to be called into the
critical situation created by the assas-
SinatiOn was Premier Franco, the dicta-

as he FASTENED to the palace, and there
he conferred with the queen and high
officials of state on what immediate ac-

1t is understood that Queen Amelie
will be regent during the minority of
Prince Manuel, who is now in his nine
teenth year.
If the asSassins were inspired in any
