MINERS MEET VIOLENT
DEATH AT MANHATTAN

Two miners came to violent death in the camp of Manhattan :
Thursday of last week, the two deaths due to as many accidents one of :
them most horrible in its gnastiiness. :
One of the men wa an italian whose name is not known att this :
writing. He a examining a box of dynamite caps in his cabin 7
in the outskirts of the camp preparatory to going to work o n some '
property that he was developing. He was evidently in doubt about sde :
caps, and started to take 4 look at them. From som cause they h. =
ploded, tearing off his hands. blowing out both eyes, and dsemb'wel :
ling him. =
The explosion ia heard and nn who came to ascertain the cause =
found the ma laying insenible, in a pool of his own blood, on the :
floor of his cabin. Medical aid as at n summoned, and despite =
the awful wounds, he lived for several hours, regaining consciousness =
and giving a broken account of the accident before he died. The :
physicians in attendance upon the man pronounce his caseon me of The :
most remarkable o far IS human vitality is concerned, of their expert :

Man Fell From Bucket.
The second fatality of Thursday occurred at the Union No. . wmK :
ings, and William Rider a the victim. In some manner, while BE- :
ing hoisted to the surface, he fell out of the bucket and dropped to :
the bottom of the shaft, a distance of IS feet from where he left the :
bucket The cause of his fall will never be known. 1t is srmsd :
that a small bit of stone Of other substance fell from the side OF the .
shaft, either stunning or startling him Sc that he relaxed his hold On :
the cable, became overbalanced and fell.
The two tragedies, coming in one day, cast a gloom over the placer
camp throughout the week.

MONNETTE COMPANY AGAIN
GOING AT SEVEN TROUGHS

veloped properties in the district,
makes it all the more promising, and
with the additional 200 feet depth, it
is almost a certainty that the Mon
nette company will encounter the rich
Fairview ore shoots.
The Monnette property has been
closed down for some time past. Not
because of any difference in the mat
ter of wages, but because the manage
ment wished to get the affairs of the
company in such a shape to mine on a
larger and more systematic scale, and
TO this end Superintendent Garoutte IS
pushing work with a large force OF
men. With the resumption of work, a
crosscut is being driven from the lower
level to the east to tap the Florence
silver ledge, which trends directly 70
the Monnette workings. 1t will re-
quire some time yet to reach the OBJ
iective point, but no time is being lost
in extending the crosscut. The Flor
ence lease is a rear neighbor to the
Monnette, and mining experts, who
have examined both properties are of
the opinion that the rich Florence vein
will be encountered at no great dis
ant in the lateral now being extended
. the Monnette workings.

PIONEER LEASE IS
in Big ORE AGAIN

From an authoritative source 1t is
learned that the Pioneer lease at Pho
ncer is again in as good ore as ever,
aud the output win soon be increased
from about twenty tons per day to at
least sixty and probably eighty. A few
days ago it was discovered that the
slip that had apparently cut off the
ore that made the big stope on the in
ternediate level between the ITO and
210 levels was in reality only a "horse''
in tie vein, and by shooting a big slab
tina. had seemed to have been a wall,
another tense of the old ore body was
opened, and it is developing with every
indication of being fully as large and
rich IS that which first made the lease
famous. The shipping values will
range from $50 to 800 per ton, and
~ rhe ore is sufficiently opened for
energetic stopping, the shipments will
be increased more than 200 per cent
over recent output.

The Keane Wonder has a new strike
and it promises to be a big one, says
the Rhyolite Herald. John Keith,
superintendent Of the mine, phoned
Homer Wilson Thursday night that q
certain bunch of assays had returned
big values and desired to know from
what point the samples were taken.
Sample No. / went $50 per ton IN
gold, No. 2, SIS, and No. 3, $3.50.
Speaking Of the find, Mr.. Wilson
stated that on various occasions when
he and Mr.. Keith were riding up to
the mine on the tramway, he hal
pointed to an outcrop of yellow ma
terial and remarked that in all prob
ability that outcrop Indicated a big
lead mine.
A few days ago Mr.. Wilson 9 curl

crawled down the deep canyon, max
ing a dangerous trip, and sampled the
outcrop, which on inspection had all
the indications of a lead carbonate

MAzJTMA. New, Nov. Pm. NJ.
Garoutte, of the Monnette
company, operating near the Fairview
above the town of Vernon, has return
cd from a trip to Los Angeles, ana
work has been resumed by the com
.pany. Mr.. Garoutte was absent two
weeks. and the nature of his visit 70
the coast city was to confer with oni-
cials Of his company regarding further
development of the property.
The company has a shaft down now
tn a depth of 400 feet. From the lower
level considerable prosecuting and
drifting has been done and some very
strong veins have been opened up. As
n rule the values do not go very high,
but show a good milling grade OF ore.
Tn several instances stringers have
been cut which show the values run
ming well into the hundreds.
Il is more than likely that the com
many will sink their shaft another
hundred feet, and possibly two hun-
dred feet. When this is done and the
veins are opened up it is q safe pre-
aiction to state that something sen
sational may be expected. The close

THINKS There IS
SOMETHING DOING
in MAYFLOWER

Commenting on the report that A. c.
Eisen, president of the Mayflower Bull
frog Consolidated Mining company has
corroborated news of the recent strike
in the main workings of the Maynower
mine, the Rhyolite Herald predicts that
there is something brewing in May
flower affairs, in view of the fact that
the annual meeting of the company has
been adjourned until December Is. The
Herald says:
A. c.. Eisen, president of the May
flower Bullfrog Consolidated Mining
company, has corroborated the news
of the recent strike in the main work
ings of the Mayfower mine. This is
the first time for months that Mr..
Eisen has given out a public state
ment regarding conditions at the May
flower, reporters having found tina. it
is a difficult matter to secure definite
information about developments in the
property.
1t will be noted by an official no
tice appearing in this paper that the
annual meeting of the Mayfower
stockholders did not take place as nd
vertised and that an adjourned meet
ing is called for December Is. just
what this maneuver means is uncor-
tain, but no disastrous proceedings
are anticipated. That there is some
thing brewing in Mayfower affairs
seems to be quite generally believed,
with the public almost entirely in the
dark as to what is being pulled off.
The coming of Jerry Rourke, Thurs
day, has created a little interest in
camp. Jerry was met at Springdale
by Mr.. Henderson and conveyed to
the mine in the Mayfower rig. 1t is
likely that he has come down to
represent certain capital, which may
have an eye on this very promising
property. MI. Rourke, it will be re-
m~embered, was superintendent of the
Schwab property at Greenwater in
the boom days Of that camp.
The Mayflower plant is in full com
mission, dropping fifteen stamps, and
the usual output of gold bullion is
being maintained. There are rumors
of further additions to the capacity
of the mill.

$4,000 ORE AT SURFACE
ON THE kEANE WONDER

der outcrops go, and there is the prob
ability that another big mine has been
discovered on the estate.
AS the Keane Wonder holdings com
prise 20 claims, it is little wonder that
more prospecting has not been done,
especially when it is considered that
the country is straight up and down,
the canyons being very ~precipitous
and not easily accessible.
Notwithstanding the location OF the
new find, at the bottom of n OF
those deep ravines, Mr.. Keith la al
ready started a force of men at work
and the new discovery will be given .
few rounds of shots 70 determine the
extent of the fancy values as indicated
by the preliminary assays.
Mr.. Wilson reports that the mint
returns on the recent shipment OF
bullion are ST., 800. This represents a
full months run Of the milling plant
and three weeks operation OF the cy-
anide. The cyanide end of the works
was closed down for a week, owing
to a breakage of the engine. The mill
alone produced $4,000 during the
month, the ore averaging $10.15 per
ton.

AMERICANS OF 5000 B. c.
Bodies 1900 Years Old Found by Elk,
porer In Peru.

plorer In Peru.
New York, April 5.-One Of the most
notable discoveries regarding the early
history of Peru has been made by
Hewitt Myring, an English antigua
rian, who has just returned from Peru
with 1000 specimens of pottery and
weapons of the ancient Peruvians.
Remains and relics of the early in
habitants of Peru. which are said by
archaeologists to date from 6OOO B. c..
were found by Mr.. Myring under an
old Inca burying ground about 200
miles inland from Lima. The bodies
were in an excellent state of preserva-
ton, the hair, skin and clothing being
preserved by the silicate of the soil
Each grave contained the remains of
food and glazed clay jugs with two
handles and a cover with long, taper
ing spout. which were filled with q
liquid supposed to have been a wine.
The cast of the features of these an
cient Peruvians resembled the Mongo-
lians, with a scattering of Indian and
negro type. The warriors could be
easily distinguished by their great
wooden war clubs resting on the left
arm or the huge copper headed battle
axes beaten out from the pure metal
One chief had a long copper needle

Best Wishes.
KING SENDS CORDIAL GREETING

Naples, April 5. - The steamship
Hamburg. from New York, with ex-
president Theodore Roosevelt and his
African hunting party on board, ar
rived here today after voyage which
was on the whole pleasant, although
the ship was delayed by storms the
last two days.
The Duke of Aosta on behalf of King
Victor Emmanuel warmly welcomed
Colonel Roosevelt to Italy and deliv-
cred Il message from the king TO the
effect that the latter would like to
make his acquaintance and would have
taken steps to do so had not Mr..
Roosevelt expressed Il desire to travel
as a private citizen.
Ambassador Griscom was one of the
first TO board the Hamburg, having
come from Rome especially to meet
Mr.. Roosevelt. The latter was delight
cd to see the American ambassador
and they engaged in a long and pleas
ant conversation.
Under instructions from Emperor
William the German consul general
here boarded the Hamburg and con-
veyed to Mr.. Roosevelt a message of
welcome and best wishes from his
majesty.
In addition to sending greetings the
consul general filled Mr.. Roosevelt's
cabin on the steamship Admiral with
carnations. red white and black, the
German cOlors, as a token Of the en-
peror's homage. The Roosevelt quar-
ters on the Admiral were made a per-
feet bower, as everybody Of note sent
flowers as the only way in which they
could fittingly welcome the American.
The prefect of Naples has ordered a
special detachment of picked carabi-
neers on duty at the dock to protect
Mr.. Roosevelt not only from possible
assault but also from the throngs of
people eager to see him. Both the
Hamburg and the steamer Admiral
which will take him to Mombasa, were
surrounded by police boats.
The municipality of Naples greeted
the former president of the United
States with an address of admiration
The mayor appointed three aldermen
to receive Mr.. Roosevelt and to extend
to him the welcome of the city. Vari
Gus other committees of welcome eX
pressed their admiration for Mr.. Roose
welt.
1t was supposed that he would re
main about two days. and many ar
rangementS were made to entertain
him. Neapolitans are greatly disap
pointed because he will have only 8
few hours here.
A magnificent apartment in a hote
had been prepared for his use afford

ROOSEVELT ExONERATED.
Civil Service League Says He Did Not
Coerce OfficehoIders.

Coerce OHIcehoIderss
New York, April 3. = The special
committee appointed by the National
Civil Service Reform league to inves-
tigate the matter of political activity
on the part of federal officeholders
reports that the. charges in the main
are sustained.
A notable exception is reported il
the allegations made during the last
campaign to the effect that President
Roosevelt coerced certain federal Of
ficeholders into the support OF Mr.
Taft for the Republican nomination.
The lists of the presidents appoint
ments for year prior to the national
convention were scanned by the com
lnittee, which finds that evidence tc
sustain the charges is wholly lacking.
On the contrary, Mr.. Roosevelt is
credited with having advanced the
cause of civil service reform by so
amending the civil service rules to
prohibit employees in the competitive
service from taking part in political
campaigns.
On the broad question Of the PERM.
cious activity in politics Of federal Of
ficeholders, however, the committee
finds that a most undesirable situation
exists. OF the more than 100000 fed.
eral otficeholders one-third are not
nmenable to civil service classification.
These officers often exercise power
full influence in politics and constitute,
in the opinion of the committee, a
menace to free institutions.

Now that the deposed president is
