MINERS RUSH TO RICH GROUND
 ON REPORT OF GOLD STRIKE
REPORTS OF DISCOVERIES STIR
 CAMPS IN NEVADA.
Hundreds of Prospectors in All Avail able Vehicles Speed to District and Newspaper Will Be
 Published Today

TONOPAH, New, June 16.-A rush recalling the gold excitement of few years back took place this morning from this city to the Ellendale dis trict, thirty miles east of here.
 Announcements made here a week ago of the discovery of an ore body on the surface which averaged we'll into tens of thousands of dollars to the ton, according to the prospectOrs who un- covered it, caused the rush.
 Secrecy was maintained as to the exact location of the new find until the plat of the townsite was filed last night. Today every available vehicle was pressed into service and before noon hundreds of people were on their way to the new camp. Tomorrow morning a newspaper will be pub lished, and already there are several saloons and restaurants open. Town lots were put on sale as soon as the people began to arrive on the scene, and the four lots on the choicest cor ner became the reward of those who happened to be lucky with the dice.
 Goldfield was almost depopulated to- day by the rush of gold seekers to the Salisbury wash strike. Automobiles, wagons, carriages, horses and bur ros damned the road to the new camp, and every wheeled vehicle in town was pressed into service.
 The country about the strike for distance of ten miles is studded with location monuments and posts, and there is not a foot of vacant ground to be had.
 A party of eighteen representative mining engineers of this section was taken to the camp, and on their re- turn they declared the showing to in- dicate probably the richest surface gold deposit in the world.

OLD SOLDIERS IN GRAY
 PARADE STREETS OF MEMPHIS
TEN THOUSAND coNFEDERATES
 MARCH IN MEMPHIS
General Frederick Grant Reviews Col umn of Veterans, Among Them Survivors of Forests
 Famous Cavalry

MEMPHIS, June 17.-Clad in rough gray homespun, such as they wore in the sixties, and carrying the rifles with which they defended what they be- lieved to be the right, 10000 United Confederate Veterans today marched in what was probably for many of them the last parade in which they will ever participate.
 The heat was intense, and the line of march was cut down to one mile. Commanders of the divisions and brigades directed that the older and feebler members of their commands should drop out, but officers were com pelled to report that they could find no men old enough or feeble enough to take advantage of the indulgence.
 The parade was led by Maj. Gen. John Mcdowell, grand marshal, and the veterans, marching by the divi- sions in which they served, followed behind. At the head of each division rode the sponsors and maids of honor, southern girls wearing the huge crim- son shoulder knots that told of their position. Following the regular divi- sions came the survivors of Forests famous cavalry corps.
 The Sons of Confederate Veterans, several thousand strong, closed the parade.
 In the reviewing stand, in the place Grant, U. s. A., son of the federal com mander who received the surrender of the southern army at AppomatoX.

 HARTMAN LINES
Public Sentiment Reflected by Press Keeps Managers Informed of Mat ters That Require Cor
 rective Action

CHICAGO, June 16-The way E. H. Hartman keeps constantly in touch with public sentiment was disclosed by Julius Kruttschnitt, director of maintenance and operation for the Hartman roads, who says that each general manager of the Hartman lines receives current issues of all news papers and periodicals published in his territory.

 Twice a month each general mana ger telegraphs MT. Kruttschnitt a synopsis of public sentiment as re- 1ected by the press. His report also shows the number of publications eX- amined, the percentage favorable, the percentage unfavorable, and the per centage which is neutral. He quotes, also, from criticisms, complaints, eX- EI essions of opinion from special ar ticles as we'll as gives the trend of opinion voiced in political and com mercial centers.
 The Chicago office of the Hartman lines consolidates the fortnightly re- ports of the general managers for tele- graphic transmission to MT. Hartman in New York.
 It is stated that Mir. Hartman re- gards the reports as valuable aids in detecting causes of friction between his railroads and the public and in applying corrective measures.

ARMED MEN CHECK
 BREAK AT PRISON

JOLIET, H., June 16.-A jail deliv- cry plot, by which more than 100 men were to have escaped from the state penitentiary, was thwarted by the coolness of a few guards yesterday when 150 convicts were held under threatening rifles after one of their number had broken from the stone quarry line and made his escape.
 For time. while August Vatter, the running convict, was making his wild dash from the line, lives of passengers in two electric cars were menaced by the rifles of the guards as they were aimed in a vain attempt to catch glimpse of the fleeing prisoner as he raced side by side with the speeding trolley car.
 Vatter was picked by the leaders of the plot to make the first break for but was captured after q chase of two hours through the countryside. He was trapped in a shed by the daughter of a farmer. who had been notified over the telephone of his es- cape.

CHINESE DREAD ICE BOX
 SINCE MAN LOST HIS LIFE

CHICAGO, June 14.-Until one Chinese was smothered to death it was the regular practice, according to testimony heard by Judge Landis in the Chicago smuggling case on trial here, for those engaged in the contra band practice to place the smuggled Chinese in an ice box of the dining car after they had been put aboard the Golden Gate limited of the Santa Fe railroad in Fl Paso.
 'eThe ice box" testified Albert c. Hampton, a negro cook on one of the cars in question, was about four by four by two and one-half feet in di- mansions. On one occasion one of the brakemen told me we would have to find some other way of carrying these Chinese. They will not ride in the ice box since one was smothered."

FORMER EDITOR PLANS VOYAGE
 IN AIRSHIP
Start Will Be Made from Europe and the Aerial Vessel May Land in Middle
 States

CHICAGO, June 15.-With the same northeast trade winds with which Co- lumbus figured out his route to the discovery of America, Joseph Brucker, former editor of the Staats Zeitung and commissioner to Germany from the St. Louis worlds fair, says he will attempt to cross the Atlantic ocean in an airship or dirigible balloon.
 MT. Brucker arrived in Chicago yes terday on a visit to friends. He de clared it was possible to cross the ocean in an airship and that he would put his theory into execution some time next spring.
 'The Wright brothers and Count Zeppelin agree with me-" he said, that it is perfectly in reason that a balloon or airship properly con- could cross the ocean safely.
 'I will spend most of the winter in building my airship and in the spring I expect to start my voyage from Cadiz, Spain. I expect to land either in Cuba or somewhere in the middle states"
