two of the insurrectos. The rest es-
capped into the country.
All the Mexican soldiers in town
were called on duty. A guard was
placed around the barracks and no
official information as to the extent of
the damage was given out 1t was
seen from adjacent streets, however,
that a number of the barracks build
ings were wrecked.
The wounded insurrectos were pick
ed up by soldiers and carried away
The Mexican officials denied that any
one had been killed, but would say
nothing further.
The town soon quieted down and the
people who had prepared to cross the
bridge returned.
1t has been known for several days
that insurrectos were within a few
miles south of Juarez, but they were
not in great numbers.
The town has had the aspect of a
city preparing for war Sandbags are
piled up at the edges of the roofs of
houses to act as breastworks, people
have been forbidden to venture for be-
yond the environs and the rife loop
holes, knocked in the walls of the old
mission, in the heart of the town, have
been kept open.
Assurance of the safety of all Amer
leans now confined in Mexican prisons
is given in an official statement issued
at Juarez last night
Americans now prisoners will be
| given trials in the civil courts on
charges of sedition against the Mexi-
can government, but hereafter all in
surrectos, whether citizens of the
United States or not, may be subject
to the death penalty under summary
military procedure.
The statement from the Mexican Off
cials was issued relative to the seven.
teen foreigners who are now imprison.
ed in the federal Jail at Casas Grandes
Fifteen of them are Americans. Pend
ing their trials they will be given the
considerations due to prisoners of war
Colonel Cuellar, in command at Casas
Grandes, is suffering from wounds, and
as soon as he is able to move the pris
oners will be marched ITO miles tc
Chihuahua to face the civil courts.
The two other foreigners are Euro
pean soldiers of fortune" who have
fought in General American revolu
tions. The men are confined in cells
in the adobe prison and are under
guard of Mexican soldiers. Their ra
tions consist of such as can be spared
them from the military stores, for the
town, about $50 miles southwest of El
Paso, has had no food supplies since
March 6, when the battle was fought
at which the insurrectos were defeat
ed.
Col. Manuel Tamborel, military com
mander at Juarez, said:
"The Americans have not been shot
and will not be- General Cuellar has
so reported to us here and to the City
of Mexico. 1t is the intention to give
the men a fair trial. This does not
mean the same consideration will be
given to foreigners hereafter captur
ed"
Colonel Tamborel at first said he
had been advised that forty foreigners
had been captured, but later said the
report was incorrect. He said he had
not received the names of the Ameri
cans.

Ell Paso, Tex, Mar. 16.-An attempt
was made last night to blow up the
barracks at Juarez, Mexico. Two
heavy charges of nitro glycerine we're
placed under the place and exploded,
tearing out parts of the buildings oc-
cupied by the Mexican troops. Two
of small band of insurrectos, who
secretly had entered the town, were
wounded and captured. A number of
Mexican cavalrymen are reported to
have been injured.
The shock of the explosion was felt
throughout Juarez and Immediately a
cry was raised that the insurrectos had
surrounded the place In great numbers
and were attacking. Merchants left
their stores and crowds prepared to
make a general exodus to the Ameri-
can sider Extra guards were placed
about the quarters of Colonel Tam
berelk, the commandant, and of Gen
eral Navarro.
The barracks are occupied by the
Fourteenth Mexican cavalry and are
located in the heart of town. There
has been a general feeling that the in
surrectos were surrounding the city.
A small bond of insurrectos is sup
posed to have crept into the town along
the railroad TRACES shortly after s
o'clock. After placing the bombs, they
attempted to get away. Soldiers on

DICKERSON WILL START
SUIT FOR LIBEL SOON

1t was understood in this city
last evening that ex-Lieutenant Gov
ernor Denver s. Dickerson was 1Iav-
ing the papers prepared to start
suit against the Reno Gazette for
libel as an outcome of the story
recently published in the Gazette,
wherein it was stated that Mr.. Dick
erson had been arrested on a felony
charge in connection with the Eu-
reka County bank affair.
1t has been rumored for some
time a warrant was out for the ar
rest of Dickerson but so far-if an
Indictment has been brought in-no
papers have been served. The G,
zette, however, owing to some un-
accountable oversight, published the
story as if it had occurred and
Dlckerson was in custody. 1t is I'M

filed within the next few day

but that night three shifts of men
were set to work at the bottom of
the Curry shaft. 1t was all blasting
rock it had to be run back to the
Curry shaft, hoisted 1900 feet and
run out on the dump. 1t required
a good deal of nerve and a great
deal of money, but it was pushed
out through the north end of the
Curry, $50 feet through the Best
& Belcher, $50 feet and $50 feet
into the south end of the Con. Vir-
ginia, when the great bonanza was
struck about 80 feet below its apex.
Had the shaft been only 100 in
stead of 1900 feet deep, the drift
would have passed over it and it
might have remained uncovered still.
When l left Virginia City it had
yielded $119, 100000 and had paid

from it, but it did not change him,

IN REGARD TO
S. P. CUTOFF:
IN THIS STATE
BATTLE MOUNTAIN TO HAZEN
LINE SAID TO BE UNDER
CONSIDERATION.

A special correspondent of the
Engineering and Mining Journa!
says:
1T is authenticity announced
that the Southern Pacific is consid-
ering a cutoff extending through
the Wonder and Boyer camps in
Nevada and across the famous Osopp
valley salt fields. This line will ex-
tend from Battle Mountain to Hazen
in a direct line, and will cut out
the great curve on the Humboldt
river, saving 1913 miles across the
state of Nevada.
The line can be built for $1,000
600 and is important in connection
with the reduction of costs on the
transcontinental traffic over the
Southern Pacific trunk line to such
an extent that the cost will be re-
paid in eight years. The original
survey was made by John T. Reid
and was transferred to the Southern
Pacific interests some months ago.
1t is expected that a decision in
regard to this cutoff will be made
soon. 1t is of Importance to sew
eral mining camps in Nevada, par
ticularly the operations at Wonder
and at Boyer"

believing that a good deal of mon
ey could be made from low grade
ores that had been left in the

transportation had been much re-
duced. They worked with but in

when one evening Mr.. Fair met

possession. Captain Mckay was
fine geologist and scholar gener-
ally, besides being perfect miner.
Mckay said to Fair: "Why do
you not go to the bottom of the
