TORNADO
IN MIDDLE WEST

One of the worst tornadoes known
to history struck the middle west Sun
day evening, leaving a trail of death
and ruin. The center seemed to be at
Omaha, Nebraska, where more than
$50 people were killed outright and
$50 injured. The tornado swept a
path through the city six blocks in
width, and in many places the ruins
caught fire, entailing an enormous
property loss.
There was also heavy loss of life
at several other Nebraska towns, as
well as in Illinois, Indiana and Michi-
gan. At Council Bluffs, Iowa, across
the Missouri river from Omaha, the
death list is given at IL, with for
Chicago and Is at Terre Haute, Indi-
ana.
The total loss of life for the tornado
swept district is placed at 225, with
about 700 more or less seriously in
jured. However, with so many build
ings in ruins, and so many people un-
accounted for, it is certainty that
these lists will be increased, rather
than diminished

kane county court only 30 minutes to

NAMPA man VISITS
HUMBOLDT Mines

Upon the completion of the Winnie
mueca Northern railroad, Nampa,
Idaho, will be our nearest great neigh
Dor to the north, and people of that
town are evidently already beginning
to take an interest in Humboldt coun-
ty. The following article concerning
of the Nampa Record:
H. J. Benson, Nampa mining man
of large experience, returned the first
Of the week from Humboldt county,
Nevada, where he went to look over
the new boom camp of Rochester and
other mineralized sections in that phe-
nomenally rich country. This section
will all be tributary to Nampa when
the Winnemucca Northern is com
pleted through this city, so that con-
ditions there are of some interest to
others than mining men. /.
Speaking of the new camp of Roch-
ester, Mr.. Benson said the camp is
nine miles from Oreana on the South.
ern Pacific railroad. There are about
1.200 people at Rochester and they
have AZ saloons and about 80 other
business houses. The town is divided
into upper and lower Rochester, about
one mile apart in the same canyon.
At the head of the canyon is the To-
cation of the Rochester Mines Co.,
where they are developing an ore
shoot 12 to 10 feet in width that car
ries silver and gold values of $50 per
ton. Four leasing companies are
working on this property and all are
in good ore, though the values are
otr.o al In, of -
sulphides, that are quite similar to
the Silver City ores In Owyhee
county.
Phenomenal strikes have been made
all through the district during the last
ten days on good reefs, showing
values of from $50 per ton to $40 per
pound. All these ores are found in
rhyolite. The origin of these depos-
its, Mr.. Benson thought, was in a re-
placement of the feldspar of the rhyo-
lite by silicous solutions. forming mas
sive deposits, with very little occur
renee of regular vein structure.
Nevada mining engineers predict a
great future for the Nanzel hill prop
erty (Rochester Mines Coz the con-
ditions there comparing favorably
with those of Tonopah, the richest
district in Nevada. Interest in the
new camp is of wide extent, there be-
ing representatives of big interests
present from all sections of the coun-
try.
At Gold Circle, 40 miles from Col
conda on the Southern Pacific, they
have three mills and a very rich
strike, made about a month ago, has
added much activity. The strike 25
miles from Carlin was made at a
depth of $50 feet. Ore was encoun-
tered that assayed from $500 to $4,000
per ton in gold. The people were out
that night with lanterns making To-
cations.
Mr. Benson was greatly pleased
with his trip. He thinks Humboldt
county a wonder, being the richest
mineralized county in Nevada. 1t has
only recently attracted the attention
of outside capital and the promise for
great development is very bright Al
ready several fortunes have been
made in that county.

Admits That steel Trust Entered Into
Pools In Railroad Rails When

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.]
NEW YORK, May 20.-Under a
severe cross-examination by Judge
Jacob M. Dickinson, government pros
ecutor of the suit against the Uniteo
States steel corporation, Charles M.
Schwab. who was recalled to the
stand today, admitted the existence
of pools in rails before the formation
of the corporation, but declared he
could not identify any Of those men
toned by Dickinson. Schwab said
formation of pools was not a part OF
his work as he was essentially an
operating man with the Carnegie
steel company.
Another admission made reluctant
antly by Schwab was that in 1898 the
Carnegie Steel company refrained
| from making girder rails for consid,
Grafton paid by competitor He adj
! ded that the mill was too large to roll
girder rails economically unless expen-
sive changes were made. Schwab said
| the Carnegie company had spent $751;
| 900 for new rolls and later received
I. 100000 from the girder rail manufac-
/ turing association for refraining from
making girder rails during 1898. which
was three years before the steel cor
poration was organized
Schwab then related how the Car
negie company turned down an Offer

told also of how Andrew Carnegie re
fused to engage in an attempt to or
ganize a selling company to market

wanna, Colorado Fuel and Iron, and
Pennsylvania and other steel compan
les, because 1t would have been un
