ROBBERS PLUMBER MINE.
Two Men Get Away With Vastly Rich
Sack Of Ore.

Two Men Get Away With Vastly Rich
Sack Of Ore.
National, Nevada, June 13. - Two
robbers held up three miners In the
stope above Tunnel mo. 81, of the
property of the National Mining COM
pany, Of Nevada, locally known as
"The Mint" on account Of Its great
wealth, about IL o'clock last night and
carried of a sack Of high-grade gold
ore weighing 100 pounds and valued at
$1,000.
Sheriff Lamb and number Of dep
uties hurried from Winnemucca to day
and are now investigating the robbery.
This is considered one Of the most dar-
ing crimes committed in the state In
recent years. At the time Of the rob
berry the night shift, numbering about
75 men, was busy at work, all the men
within 5000 feet Of tunnel No. 81.
Under cover Of darkness the despera-
does succeeded in getting past the var
ious armed guards and hid near the
mouth of the tunnel. Just at ii
o'clock a carman rolled a car of ore
from the tunnel. He was promptly
covered with guns by the robbers. In
accordance with instructions he led the
way TO stope 4, where the shift boss
and another miner were working.
This necessitated climbing small
manway, 60 feet long.
One of the desperadoes stood guard
over the miners, while his partner de-
scended the manway with a sack Of ex-
cecdingly rich ore, telling the miners
that any move on their part meant
death. The second man then descend
ed the manway and disappeared with
his partner.
An alarm was Immediately sounded
and search Of the mountains began.
but no trace Of the robbers was discov-
cred.

ODD GEOGRAPHICAL yAcTs.

Vnaaue Polnts Ahsut the Uniso1
States worth Rsmsmbsring.
Among the many geographical 20
suliaritiss In the United States there
are some especially interesting.
The two largest counties In the
United States are Custer County. Mon
tana, and San Bsrnardino County. Cal
ifornia. Each OF these IL little more
than 10000 square miles in extent. and
the States OF Massachusetts. Rhode
Island. Delaware and New Jersey
could bs put inside the boundaries OF
either Of them. The smallest county
In the Union 10 Bristol County. Rhode
Island. which has only 26 square
miiea
The county In the United states hav'
Ing the largest population 10 New
York. which has 2.ooo.ooo people In Il
At the time Of the last census Bailey
County. Texas. which 10 about the slss
Of the State Of Rhode Island. had only
four Inhabitants.
About 80 miles from Durango. Colo
RADIO. there 10 . point where four
States meet. Here BY stepping . few
feet In either direction one can walk
In four different commonwealths In -
many seconds. These commonwealth
are the States Of Colorado. Utah and
the Territories Of New Mexico and
Arizona A nearly parallel case ID at
Harper's Ferry. where the train stops
Q few minutes to allow the passengers
to aiight and enjoy 4 view which per
mits them to look into three Statss--
Maryland. Virginia and West Virginia
The highest and lowest elevations In
this country are In California. within
100 miles OF each other. Tho loftiest
Is Mt. whitney. i+.%9s feet high. and
the lowest is Death Valley. about $50
feet below the level OF the sea.
Two Oceans Pass. In Yellowstone
Park. Is 80 named because whenever
there Ia q shower In the vicinity and Q
certain small creek overnowv. its
waters spread over the edge OF the
continental divide and pass into trib-
utaries OF rivers which fow to the Al
lantic and 10 the Pacific.
The longest city street In the United
States Is Western avenue. Chicago.
which Is exactly 22 miles long. Its
nearest rival Is Halsted street. also
In Chicago. which Is two-thirds OF o
mile shorter. Halsted street IL %
much more closely built up that 1t 10
usually spoken Of as the longest street
In the world. Interspersed with the
native Americans on this one street
are Germans. Italians. Russians. Jews.
Bohemians. Poles and Greeks. Hal
sted street is crossed over and under
by 20 railroads.
A novel way to demonstrate the size
Of the State OF Texas Is to spread out
Z map Of the Union and stretch .
string across Texas the longest way.
Then placing one end Of the measure
at Chicago. one viii ind that the other
end will extend into either the Allan
tic Ocean or the Gulf of Mexico.

Of property and probably number Of

some Of the wooden buildings destroy
ed must have perished.
The burned area 10 bounded by Rail-
road avenue just east Of the harbor
front, Third avenue, Wall and Vine
streets.
Not all the buildings in this area
were destroyed, a hurricane blowing
from the West having driven the
flames toward some buildings and
saved others.
A violent wind sprung up about sun
set andtore down signs and drove peo-
pie from the streets.
At 30 o'clock an alarm of fire
was turned In from the large three
store frame warehouse of Galbraeth,
Bacon & Company at the foot of Bat
terry street. By the time the fremen
had reached the scene the whole build
ing and its inhammable contents were
roaring furnace.
The wind from off the salt water
was blowing the flames and firebrands
against other wooden buildings to the
north and east, and the problem be-
came not one of saving property al
ready attacked, but TO prevent destruc-
tion Of thickly-settled district occu-
pied by old wooden buildings Of the
fimsiest construction.
Dozens Of lodging house and So
called hotels were among the buildings
destroyed. They were two and three
story buildings, and burned like finder.
The police and firemen think that some
Of the dodgers in these buildings must
have perished. The ruins are still
blazing fiercely and II will be impossi-
BILE TO explore them for some time.
Three firemen were outside q burning
warehouse at Wall street and First sv-
enue when an explosion threw the wall
Of the building on the men, who are
believed TO have perished.
