New Orleans, April 27.-Totals of
four southern states by Fridays tor

Latest Record.
Briefly stated they are:
Killed, about $50; injured serious

towns reporting serious wreckage, 40;

tically complete ruins in these towns,
about $500.
The above figures do not include
wreckage on plantations and farms,
scores of which were struck and dam
aged.
The number of dead will never be
known accurately for the reason that
about 800 of them were negroes and
they wsre buried in many communi-
ties without careful reports being
made of their numbers. While some
of the first reports giving apparently
accurate death lists have since been
proven unreliable, nevertheless the
remote places where they were late

KEARNS LEASE TO
SHIP REGULARLY

Advices from Rawhide state that
the fine weather has been helping
along development work, which is
increasing rapidly. There are now
over 600 men at work on the differ
ent leases in the camp. The Kearns
lease on the Balloon claim commenc-
ed regular shipments of fifteen tons
per day of high grade ore on Janu-
airy 18th. They are mining and sack
ing only the ore that will mill over
$500 per ton.
In this lease, at a depth of so feet,
crosscut drift has developed four
teen feet of ore with no wall in sight
seven feet of which it is claimed av-
erages $500 per ton as broken down.
On the Happy Hooligan claim ore
assaying $1,000 per ton is reported to
have just been struck. On the Muir
ray lease another great strike is also
reported, it being claimed that some
of the ore goes as high as $4,000
per ton.
In the vicinity of the Tiger group,
a great deal of development is in
progress. The Tiger is regarded as
being one of the greatest strikes yet
made at Rawhide Its lodges seem
to run northwest and southeast. This
has stimulated activity in both these
directions

company organized to own its prop

You look up at the hillsides, for sew
eral thousand feet, and see hills of
ore sacked ready for shipment There
is gold, gold, gold, everywhere. Gold
field, with twice as much work done,
never looked anything like as good
as Rawhide. You can't describe the
camp; at least, l can't, for it is alb
solutely bewildering. And, when you
come to think of it, there has been
a good deal of work done for tie
time that the camp has been in ex-
istence. The shafts are al four feet
by seven feet, and are good looking
shafts. They are nearly all timbered
for the first few sets.
'On the Kearns lease, they have
the ore stacked up as high as the
Bonanza Office, all of it high grade.
They are shipping from the lease to
Goldfield every day. We met the

They have tunnels driven in for a
distance of 200 and 800 feet, and
the Kearns lease is down to a depth
of eightyfive feet, and twelve or
fourteen feet of it in ore that will
go over $500 ton Why, If no
greater depth is obtained than that

for at least five years. OF course,
nobody can tell anything of the flu

Thatcher, and it must be seen,
really, to be appreciated. The very
appearance of the camp gives man
an idea of what there is there before
he has seen anything of the under
ground conditions. On all sides of
you, there are to be seen evidences
of the richness of the camp, and the
stuff is there in plenty. The sacks
of ore are piled up like SO MANY
sacks of wheat in granary, and they
are filled with high grade ore. Near
ly every lease seems to have struck
the ore, and have the real stuff II
ever there was camp going to make

J. p. MoRGAN's LIBRARY.

There is no more beautiful build
ing in New York than ]. P. Morgan S
private library on East Thirty-sixth
street. 1t was designed by Charles
McKim in the style of the Italian
Renaissance. The material is Ten
nessee marble, whose whiteness is re-
lieved by suggestion of pink. The
blocks are set without cement and
so close that the facade appears to
be one solid sheet of stone. Not
withstanding it's great solidity, the
building is a model of lightness and
grace. 1t makes all lovers of liter
airy and artistic treasures breathe
more freely to know that Mr.. Nor
gan's priceless collection of manu-
scripts and rare editions is now
housed in fireproof building. Not
only that, but that they are so ar
ranged as to be seen to the best ad-
vantage Before the library was
built the basement of his dwelling
house next door was used by Mr..
Morgan as storage place. The new
building is apparently destined to be-
come famous not only as library,
but to have it's place in the financial
history of the country; for it was
within it's marble walls that Mr.. Nor
gan held those all-day and all-night
business conferences in October,
which resulted in averting panic
and in saving the credit of the city
at a time of almost unprecedented
storm and stress. THE Lounger" in
