For fellow to get in the way of the
lightning of the real estate transact
ions in this section now keeps him a
jumping. There have been within the
past few weeks a large number Of
farms sold, TO whom the vendors
know not, at fine prices in the vicinity
of Darkesville, all of which contain
tinelimestone and with other develop
ments nearer to town are causing the
old landmarks to it and take notice.
Another straw which shows an aglta-
tion of the industrial wind is corps
of civil engineers which have been sur
veying out the Winchester pike, for
what no one seems able to find out,
but they have been operating along
the pike as far as Inwood and perhaps
farther.

Speaker Cannon has EXPIRE sed him

drive the independent republicans in
Congress out Of the party ranks or
whip them into subserviance to his
tyranny. lie declores that the organi-
cation shold eight them just as it does
Bryan From these expressions it
seems that there will be no quarter
shown those who have the courage to
oppose boss or refuse to wear the collar
ofmoney power which owns the repub-
lican organization in national govern
nent. There may be few of the in
surgents, as they are called, who are
moved by disappointed ambition but
the most of them are sctfated by pa
triotic motives and have the public
good at heart. Men moved by such
motives, especially in this age when
dollars are more potent than morals
ana of blind party zeal, are not to be
easily whipped into submission with
buIl-lash of billingsgate which Can
non Yields with deXterous hand and
they are whipped from the republic
clu party Will probably take a large
per cent of their constituents with
Them.
Speaker Cannon by his harsh actions
is counting disaster to the republican
party. The masses wanted practical
tariff reform and if the senators and
repres entatives who stood with the
peopIe inc tn contest between the PEG
pie and the trusts are to be driven
from The party the great iudepel dent
vote of the country will SWING to the
democratic party and make the next
Congress democratic by an overwhelm-
ing majority. If Cam IN and Aldrich
drive from the party all who refuse &c
be led by them against the interests OF
the people they Will soon find them
selves in hopeless minority.

Three FEET
OF RICH ORE
At FAIRVIEW

Good news comes from Fairview
this week. BY far the most import
ant development in the property of
the Nevada Hills is the fact that
about three feet of ore that will run
in the neighborhood of $40 to the
ton clear across, has been encount-
cred. Some picked pieces soar into
fancy values. In view of the new
strike, work in the crosscut at the
S50-foot level was ordered discon-
tinued. This crosscut was in only
about ten feet, and was in a northerly
direction from the main shaft. The
intention of the management at this
time is to continue down to the 400
foot level, where 1t is expected that
the footwall of the big vein will be
struck. James r. Davis says: THE
new vein was practically proved up
by a crosscut from the main working
shaft at a depth of 800 feet, but we
found only eighteen inches of the ore
al this point. whereas at $50 feet the
ore body has widened out to three
feet. At this time we are doing no
stopping. and all ore extracted is dur
Ing the course of development

the gap about four miles from Elko.
A force of about 100 men are EN-

will. average at least three-quarters
of mile day If no unforeseen delays
happen. 1t is said that it will take
less than five months to reach Win

STRIKERS PREPARE
TO LEAVE M'CLOUD
State Troops Will Depart as Soon as
County Sheriff Announces He
Can Control the Stu
alton

McCLOUD, Cal, June THE Ital-
ian employees of the McCloud River
Lumber company who went out on
strike are settling their accounts to-
day and leaving here. The militia will
remain a few days longer Everything
is quiet and all danger of serious
trouble seems to have passed. AL
though work has partly been resumed
in the mills, it will be necessary to
import men before the entire plant
can be opened.
At a conference held today between
Adjutant General Lauck and S. L.
Rocca, italian consul general, the lat
ter was assured that the state troops
would leave here when Sheriff Howard
is able to control the situation.
The wounding of a young Italian by
a militiaman was discussed, and the
consul general said he was convinced
that it was the result of a misunder-
standing on the part of the soldier. So
far as he was concerned, Consul Gen
eral Rocca added, the incident was
closed.
He will leave this afternoon for
Shasta Springs, where he will remain
a few days before returning to San
Francisco.
At his request the strikers have con-
tributed 81 each to a defense fund for
kilograms were interchanged today
between Governor Gillett and Adjt.
Gen. John b. Lauck, commanding the
militia here, relative to the occupancy
of the house belonging to President
Queal of the lumber company by Gen.
Lauck.
The governors message informed
Gen. Lauck that word had reached the
capital that military headquarters had
been established in the company
house. In closing the governor ex-
pressed a hope that the reports were
untrue.
Gen. Lauck replied that he had estab-
lished his headquarters i'm President
Queal's house and explained that his
reason for so doing was because of the
telephone and telegraph connections
and because he desired a place where
he could hold secret conferences when
necessary. He denied he had shown
any favoritism to either side In the
strike controversy.
81 have telegraphed the governor
stating my reasons for establishing my
office at President Queals house, said
Gen. Lauck today IF he desires me IL
change my location he has only to give
the order"
Many of the strikers drew THEN
money from the company's bank and
left camp today. Very few intend to
remain at the old wage scale. The 200
men owning cabins were paid for their
land, and the committee to appraise
the valuation of the buildings will be-
gin its labors tomorrow.
President Queal said today that the
cabins would be torn, down, as the COM
pany did not expect to employ italians
again,

MEETS DEATH IN
RAILROAD YARDS
SWITCH TENDER FOUND DEAD
ON S. P. TRACK
Fellow Employees Unable to Decide
How Accident occurred-5ody
Terribly MutlIated-Victim
Leaves Family

While at work in the Southern Pacific
yards late last night Nathan A. john
son, a switch tender, was in some mys-
FERROUS manner run over and killed by
an engine.
The mans death was not discovered
for some minutes, probably half an
hour, after the tragedy, and life was
extinct when the body was found.
How the man met his death could
not be accurately determined at the
time of the discovery. He was a sober
and careful man, it is claimed. and no
cause can be ascribed to the misstep
which evidently he must have made
while riding on the rear of the switch
engine.
The engineer, arriving at the switch,
stopped his engine and getting no Sig
nal from Johnson, left his cab to in
vestigate. He could not find Johnson
and walked back down the track.
Failing for some distance to locate
the man, he returned to the engine and
backed it up. The light ON the rear
finally revealed the mans body, lying
between the rails.
Investigation disclosed the body was
terribly mutilated
The victim of the accident leaves a
wife and two children it is said, at 643
East Twenty-frst street The body
was taken to the Los Angeles Under
taking parlors, 2029 Pasadena avenue.
