PROMINENT MINING OPERATOR
BACK FROM SALT LAKE

William Rea, the wellknown mining
operator, returned from an extended
visit to Salt Lake City yesterday
morning. Mr. Rea reports that, while

vogue, and one evening the young law
yer went up the river ON one of these
parties which had chartered barge
called the "Mamie' in tow of the
river steamer ssWar Eagle. There
was dancing all the way up the river
and back, and Mr.. Clark in the youth
full exuberance of his spirits, was one
of the gay throng.
When the next Sunday rolled around
and young Champ Clark went as usual
to the Campbellite church, where,
few weeks previous, he had put in his
letter from the church he had belong
ed to back east, his case was called
up and after a swift but formal trial
before services, at the bar of the
church, he was ignominiously expelled
from membership. Chagrined, humil-
lated and crestfallen young Clark
wandered forth in despondent mood,
but after walking around for a time
he returned, re-enteded the church,
took his seat ,in rear pew, and sat
attentive during the sermon As was
the custom in the Campbellite church,
an invitation was extended by the
pastor at the end of the sermon for
repentant sinners to come forward and
kneel at the chancel. When this in
vitation was extended, Champ Clark
solemnly arose, marched forward to
the mourners bench, and, to the
astonishment of the congregation, took.
his place with the penitents. The pas
tor and the church authorities were
temporarily at their wits end to know
what to do with the repentant brother
who only that morning had been ex-
PEELED from the congregation, but a
hurried consultation resulted in the
unanimous conviction that there was
absolutely no course open to them ex-
cept to embrace the erring and re-
pentant brother and receive him back
into fellowship. This was done, and
Mr.. Clark has been a good and con-
sistent member of the Campbellite
church to this day.

-FOUR STOCKMfN
/. LOST in THE SNOW

Somewhere in the snowy wastes in
the northern end of this county, lie
the rigid bodies of four of the wealth
lest stock men of Washoe county, says
the Gazette.
Caught in a binding blizzard, uncer-
tain of their course, they succumbed
to the zero temperature and perished.
They are:
HARRY CAMERON.
INDIANANO.
LAXAGUE.
ERRAMOSPE.
OF the four, the latter three are
French Basques, known to the Basque
colony of this city as men who came
to this state poor in this world IS goods,
but possessed of indomitable energy
and ambition. They began life here
as sheep herders and soon were pos
sessed of flocks and herds until they
became ranked as wealthy, employing
many herders and camp tenders in the
northern portion of the county, where
their sheep and cattle ranged.
Mr.. Cambron was the partner of
Herbert Humphreys, of this city, in
the Humphreys Cambron Cattle com
pany. His brother, Ben Cambron,
lives at Constantia The other mem.
bers of the party that were lost have
relatives in this city.
News of the disaster came last ev,
ening to Mr. Humphreys and he is
prostrated over the news, for his part
ner. George Cambron, was his warm,
tried friend as well and the other
members of the expedition that fail
ed were well and favorably known to
him.
The message which brought news
of the catastrophe reads as follows:
" Humphreys Cambron Cattle com
pany, Reno, Nevada:
Your camp tender just came in.
Cambron, Indianano, Laxague and Err
ramospe left DEMO camp to go sew
en- miles away to the sheep on Janu-
ary 10. But they never reached them.
They have not been seen since. A
posse has been formd here to leave at
once to find them. The sheep are re-
ported all right.
"Operator. Eagleville, CAL
Mr.. Humphreys Immediately wired
the sender of the message to discover
which camp of DEMO was meant, and
the answer was:
sCamp Denio is forty miles from
Eagleville. =
Another wire of inquiry was sent
out this morning and the reply was
that ten men, skilled in horsemanship
and with thorough knowledge of the
country, had left at 10 this morning to
recover the bodies. Mr. Humphreys,
when seen by the Gazette, said
"The message looks bad, very bad.
The poor fellows either perished from
cold, or were poisoned by eating can
ned fruit. The weather when they set
forth was below zero and they may
have frozen. They could not have
lost their way, for they all knew the
country like book. The snow at that
time was only foot and half deep,
but it was fearfully cold. have
wired for further information, but do
not expect to hear any news until to-
morrow at the earliest.

What are they going to do with

as I could command I answered that
he was to be hung on the following
morning at nine o'clock, by order of
the commanding general. O'Rafferty,
of course, heard the conversation that
was intended for his ears.
There was at this time prevailing
fear among many that General Butler
was liable to hang almost anyone. My
ruse had it's effect, as O'Rafferty now
began to sob and groan. stepped in
side his cell and made an effort to
console him, assuring him that was
very sorry, but that nothing could
be done to help him unless he would
give up the money.
He was a Catholic and begged that
