REpo]TS GROSSLY
ExAGGERGTED

Persons who have visited the
camp Of Rochester, in Humboldt
county. or,hy of reliance, are
strongly advising their friends and
acuaintances against going to the
camp at this time and many persons
are deploring the character of
publicity that is being done to
advertise the district and attract
to it stampede of mining men and
camp followers. A man who has
just returned to Goldfeld from
Rochester declares that there are
only fortv men employed there in
the mining district and a large
number OF idle men, who have little
hope of securing any immediate
employment. and including
number who are i'll. The altitude
is about 5000 feet and while the
amount of snow has not been great
the cold has heen severe at times,
particularly tie nights. which are
always cold in the northern part
Of the state.
Mining men who are not biased
in their opinions declare that there
is nothing to justify a rush to the
district during the winter season.
The district is now regarded as one
of good promise. but in all probabi-
ity it will prove one in which large
bodies of milling ore will be opened
and ii is in no sense poor mans
camp or leasing camp such as
the high-grade camps of the state.
There are no deep working, all the
ore yet exposed being near the sur
face. and the persistence of ore at
depth remains to be proved. al
though the indications are pro-
nounced favorable for depth. Itis
said that many of the reports of
discoveries are grossly exaggerated.

PLUIE LEADER TAI KS

OF the Piute tribe, with headquart.
ers at Pyramid reservation, was a
caller at the Eagle office this week.
He is preparing to leave for Wash
ington to consult with the Com
missioner of Indian Affairs on mat
ters relating to the interests of his
tribe.
Among the grievances which Billy
proposes to lay before the officials
at Washington is the allotment of
40 acres of land to the head of each
family. This he says, was promised
to his father when he was a little
boy; his father is gone to the happy
hunting ground and he himself lis
well on the road and still the land
allotment have never been made.
He claims they were promised
SO, 900 for the right of way for the
Fernley-Lassen road but it has not
been paid. They want the govern
ment to put In a concrete dam in
place Of the old brush and drift
dam on the Truckee river near the
reservation and to widen the ditch
so the farmers on the west Side of
Pyramid Lake can get more water.
The government builds the Derby
dam and Lahontan dam and takes
all our land aud gives IL to the
white people hut don't give dam
for US, said Billy.
The Indians raised the money to
send Billy to Washington to plead
their cause.
When asked IL he expected to
take part in the Inaugural parade,
Billy said he did not that he was in
q hurry and would come back as
soon as he got through with the
business he had on hand.-Fallon

BOY OoEYED ORDERS

A certain New York hotel mana,
ger is one of these nervous mcr
who constantly warn their EN-,
ployees against keeping them in
ignorance of any happening around
the place. He hired a new bell boy
recently. and gave him the usuai
warning:
Remember he warned, if any,
thing happens around here I'm tC
be the first person to know about
it,"
Soon after that he was showing
three Eaughty Daughters of thr
Confedracy one of the best rooms
of the place. when the new bell boy
rushed in with his hair on end.
"Something's happened!" he
yelled.
The three Daughters of the Con.
fedracy turned coldIv. and the
manager, anxious to get rid of the
boy. demanded to know the trouble.
That old cat down stairs, "
said the boy "has just had kittens!
What shall we do?"
The managers suggestion was
rough.

INDUSTRIAL ACCIDENTS

The annual civic federation, at
its annual meeting January 1880,
gave much attention to the preyen-
tion of industrial accidents and
co npensation therefor.
With 10000 more or less ind us
trial accidents in this country IN a
year and some 100000 more or less
serious injuries are not safety
appliances cheaper than other, sur.
gerry, hospi tails and the loss of earn
Ing power?
And some preventive measures
are so simple. One factory found
that four men in nine months had
each lost an eye by the flying up
Of the nails with which packing
cases are being closed. BY buying
hammers with corrugated heads the
eyes of its shippers are saved.
Another factory reduced accidents
BY posting notices in its work,
showing that during the previous
month 20 Of its employees had been
hurt by stepping on nails, with
resultant cases of lock-jaw, and
warning its help to be careful.
Behind all the polished exterior
of our glitternig civilization, what
tale of sorrow and want lies hid
den. For every floor of the greet
sky-srcapcrs that constitute New
York's Alpine sky line, a human
life has been snutfed out.
The American workman is admit
tedly careless. In any railroad
yard you can see brakeman jump
on the running board Of the tender
to save FIVE minutes walk. Some
day when his attention is asleep he
jumps wrong and limps on crutches
the rest of his life. Noslaws and no
safety appliances can cure such
man of his folly.
The civic federation is trying for
better workmen's compensation
laws. OF s23.523. 1886 paid into ten
large accident insurance companies
in three years, only S8.599, ,7y5
went to the victims. The rest of
went for legal expenses cost con-
ductingI companies, dividends COM
missions on policies, etc. If the
injured man could get the money
instead of lawyers and clerks and
agents. the accident benefit could
be multiplied by two or three.

RICH STRIKE At JARBIOGE

Another ricn strike is reported
on the Flake group at Jarbidge.
A cross-cut tunnel, 5l2 feet long
cut the ledge % feet wide, at a
depth Of 900 feet. The ore will
average better than $40 per ton in
gold. Ten feet Of the ledge carries
gold values of S37 per ton and 8
feet Of it runs $40.

When the north drift was in 10 feet
an 18 inch vein was cut that sbows

BEAUTIFUL SCENERY
Of GATUN LAKE

Officers and enlisted men of the
United States army may now enjoy
a boating excursi n on Gatun lake.
which is rapidly assuming the di-
mensions it will have when the
canal is finished and promises roun
tn become re nowned as one of the
most beautiful places on the beaten
trackes of travel.
A man in Gatun has fitted out a
large launch OIL which he conducts
sightseeing parties from Gatnn
to GOrgona. The lighthouse service
is using the lake already in con-
struction work: three gasoline
launches at Gorgona and twice as
many canoes propelled by paddles
or rugged with sails are making
venturesome trips on the wind
swept surface, and natives far back
in the bush are bringing their pro-
duce to market in crude boats on
the lake, gliding in caycuos over
fields that were cultivated only a
few months ago. The backing
Up of the water has made every
little creek that formerly poured
into the Chagres a water high way
through the woods.
That the men of the army, says
the Army and Navy journal, are
having beautiful scenic pictures to
fill their minds and to enrich their
memories though the coming years
is made plain by this description in
the last Canal Record of a scene on
the FrijOlcs river:
Last week four canoe loads of
men came up the river at sunset,
when the myriad tints in the sky
were reflected in the water and the
drops from the paddles glowed pink.
Laughing and smiling they drove
the canoes through the widening
channels, and one who saw them
coming up the tree bUrdercd land
might have though them an incar-
nation of the old print of the COR
quista dOres on voyage of dis
cOverv.'
One gets an idea of how fast
vegetables grow in Panama, for
where rock and earth were being
dumped three or four years ago
trees and bushes are growing five
or six feet high. One effect of the
rise of the water has been to shake
the skceptiCism,of the bush dwellers,
who until Gently could not be
made to believe that il would be
neccs sary for them TO leave the area
+" h" flooded BY the Like. The
settlers were all reimbursed by the
government for their holdings or
improvements many month ago,
and generally they have moved a
mile or more back from the lake,
where they have built their huts,
or in to the towrisites set aside for
tha t purpose.
