TURNING OUT
The BEST WORK

The bindery OF the Bonanza is
turning out the best work in the
city, and it is giving such great salts
faction that anyone who has his work
done there once, never goes anywhere
else. The plant is the finest and
most complete, not only in the State,
but this side of San Francisco. We
can turn out all kinds of work that
is demanded in the Offices of lawyers.
brokers, promoters. mining compan-
les, or for any other kind of business.
and we guarantee satisfaction in
every respect. One trial will be suffi-
cient to establish the truth of this
statement. 1t pays to go where only
the best kind of work is done. and
II pays to Patronize home industry.

RICH STRIKE ON
STINSON LEASE
Continued from Page L.

Miller lease, and then the Kearns
lease. There is something going Oh
all the time to keep the camp in the
limelight, and the way that people
are pouring into the camp is another
marvel
1T is the busiest place in the
world. for while mining is going on
in the hills, there is plenty of bust
ness going on in the offices and on
the streets. He says that there are
now getting in there people with
money for investment, and that there
are more and more evidences of this
kind of money every day."
S. J. Tanner, who returned from
Rawhide on Friday is another who is
quite certain that the camp is going
to make good with greater develop
ment. He went out on the hills. and
saw the ore in the mines. saw sam
pies taken therefrom, and sawthe
assays. Then he brought home the
pulp of the stuff, and had that as
saved. and got about the same val
ues.
1T was enough to satisfy me-"
said DR.. Tanner, that the stuff was
there and that there was plenty If
it as far as they have gone. What
there is at depth no man can tell.
no more than anyone could have told
what the future had in store for
Tonopah or Goldfield at the same
stage of development. The surface
showings of Rawhide have neve.
been excelled anywhere, and | doubt
if they have ever been equalled
Business in the camp is brisk in
all lines; everybody is busy, and. yet
nothing seems overdone. Here is an
instance of the way that things are
going in the camp. Tex Richard
bought the lot on which the Northern
saloon stood, and he is putting no
another building. He is in a hurry
to get into the game, for he realizes
that there is no money in RawhiL
for him until the building is finished.
He contracted for the building and
has offered the contractor a bonus of
500 a day for every day it will be
completed before the contract time.
That is the way that business is be-
ing done in Rawhide Any man who
can get into the camp and does not
do so. is losing one of the opportuni-
ties of his life

EIGHTEEN KILLED IN BERLIN
EIGHT OTHERS SERIOUSLY
HURT IN CRASH ON 81" ROAD.
Most of the Deaths Resulted From
Contact With Third Rail-Hap-
pened in Triangle.

BERLIN, September 26.-Two trains
on the Berlin elevated railroad were in
collision early this afternoon. AS a re-
suit eighteen persons are dead, eight
seriously and many others slightly in
jured. Most of the deaths resulted from
contact with the electrified rails.
The accident was caused by a mis-
placed signal. One of the cars, which
was crowded with passengers, was
thrown to the street forty feet below and
shattered. The greatest mortality was
in this car. The police were quickly at
the scene, and the work of extrica ting
the dead and wounded was begun.
AmbulanceS were summoned and wait
ed close to the scene of the wreck while
the injured were brought out. Then
each wagon with it's suffering passenger
hastened away to Il hospital
The collision occurred in the heart of
the eastern commercial district, upon
what is known as the triangle" a nota-
BILE piece of railroad construction, where
three dOuble-tracked lines cross. A
model of this crossing was exhibited at
the ST. Louis exposition.
Among the dead is Richard Wendt, an
architect.

Today active preparations were made

of disproving the charges against the
young man.
The suit is branded by Senator Elkins
as a case of blackmail. On that belief it
will be more vigorously fought by the at

Senator Efkins today made the follow

WOOD-CHOPP|NG CONTEST ON
CRACK AXMAN TRYING TO WIN
CooLIDGE's MONEY.
Moot Must Turn Growing Trees Into
Five Cords of Kindling
by Sundown.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BOSTON. Mass, September GA big
party of New York, Boston and Washing
ton men is today Witnessing unique
contest at Windsor, VT, to decide bet of
$1,000 between Maxwell Evarts son of
the late United States senator, and l.. F.
Loree. president of the Delaware and
Hudson railway. and l.. A. Coolidge, as
sistant secretary of the Treasury, at
Washington.
Evarts wagers that Edwar- loot of
Weathersfield will, between sunrise and
from standing trees.
The wager originated at a banquet at
Washington recently. Mr.. Evarts told
them of Moot's ability. On being doubted,
the wager was proposed and accepted.
The chopping began at 5:52 o'clock this
morning, the time at which the sun rose
and will conclude at $50 o'clock this
evening. Moot's sturdy axes-he is using
several-quickly made great inroads int
the standing trees of Eastwood which
had been selected for the trial.
With the report that Moot recently
chopped and split and piled a cord OF
wood in less than an hour and half
the choppers stock went up. There
were several of the party who offered tC
bet large amounts that he would win to-
day.
Moot is attended by his son. The youth
keeps the axes sharp and hands them and
the splitting wedges to his father as fast
as he needs them.
At o'clock Moot had cut down six
trees and chopped and split the greater
part of the wood-about a cord and {
half.
Great secrecy had been observed as TO
the place where the contest would be
held. AS a result hardly any one except
Mr. Evatts and his guests was present
when Mr.. Moot swung his ak into the
first tree.
AS the chopping progressed the location
became known Now a crowd of several
hundred Is watching the event.
AT noon Moot had more than half COM
peted his task and said his muscle was
as good as when he began, and that he
would finish we'll inside the schedule.

NEW YORK. September 26.-Th
steamer Commonwealth, newest and larg-
est of the Fall River lines sound steam
ers. arrived at this port today after COL
liding with and sinking the Norwegian
freight steamer Volund in a dense fog off
Race Rock at the eastern entrance to
Long Island sound this morning. The
Wounds officers, the captains wife and
crew were rescued and brought here on
the Commonwealth. The bow OF the Fall
River liner was smashed above the water
line in the collision. but the damages were
not considered serious.
The collision took place at 30 q m.
as the steamers were feeling their way
through thick fog. AS the two vessels
came together the captain Of the Volund
rushed on deck and assisted his wife to
climb upon the Commonwealth's bow,
which had cut a great cash into the
Wounds side.
Three members Of the Wounds crew
also climbed on board the Commonwealth.
The steamers then drifted apart. The
boilers of the Volund exploded and she
sank.
While CONSERVATION reigned among the
passengers on the Commonwealth. vol
unteer crew of naval men bound from
Newport 10 " aSnl1SlOll, Dg
Quartermaster Webber. manned one of
the Commemorative cutters. while the
Commemorative crew manned two other
cutters and picked up the captain and
eleven men from the Volund who were
clnging TO pieces of wreckage.
One Member Of Crew Hurt.
One member of the Wounds crew was
injured which constituted the only cas-
ualty After two hours delay the Com
monwealth proceeded on her way to this
city.
Following the collision. Capt. William
son ordered the wireless operator to send
| a general message of distress along the
| sound and within an hour five vessels
had answered and volunteered their as
sistance. The steamers Maine. Provi-
dence and Priscilla stood by the Com
monwealfh until she started on her jour
ney at 4:3O am, assisting in caring for
| the members of the vessels crew and in
Capt. Williamson's examination Of the
damage sustained by the Commonw wealth.
The Commonwealth and the Volund
came together with tremendous force.
Nearly every passenger on board the
former was thrown from his berth by the
force of the impact and for time there
was nearly a panic. The officers and
crew finally succeeded in reassuring the
passengers, however, and quiet was
stored before the Commonwealth pro-
ceeded slowly toward New York under her
own steam.
