GEN. GOMEZ REcoNNorrERs GuA1MARo.

! looking men 1 have ever seen.
The Cuban negroes in the insurg-
ent army were TO me a most inter
esting study. They seemed much
more fOrecful and aggressive than our
own colored population as a rule,
probably the result Of most of the
older ones having served in the Ten
Years war. And then. too, they had
lived a more outdoor life than the
majority of the negroes of our north
ern states. being plantation hands
and small farmers, and had not been
weakened and demoralized by city
life.
A surprising fact was that not a
few of Ire older negroes of Cuba
were born in Africa. Alth ough the
foreign slave trade was abolished by
law many year ago. II is matter OF
common knowledge that up TO as late
at 1870 small cargoes Of slaves from
the west coast of Africa were run into
Cuba. These African soldiers often
conversed among themselves in their
native dialect

After a few days in camp TO allow
the men and horses OF both forces to
rest, the 5000 OF us marched toward

with him two guns. a Hotchkiss 12-

same make, they being Identical with
the two guns that Gomez had used
at CascOrra, and that we had brought
with us. So we now had four pieces
of artillery.
The Spanish garrison. about 800
men of the Second battalion OF Tar

the strongest positions were the brick

southwest corner. All OF these had

over four times. The third time

is pretty sore. but is not seriously
hurt. The auto was slightly dam

FORTUNATE AUTO ACCIDENT
Plummer and Ssdler Families Upset In
Diamond Valley Without Injury

-
While coming to Eureka Tuesday
from Mineral Hill Tom Plummer,
accompanied by his wife and Mr.. and
Mrs. Edgar Sadler and their two
children, met with a rather serious
accident near Dry Lake, about IL
miles north of Eureka.
Mr.. Plummer turned his auto out
OF the road to escape a high center.
and while returning back into the
road n of the steering rods broke
and the auto turned partly over.
He was driving slowly. and as the
auto started to go over he threw his
legs out of the car and succeeded
in preventing it from going clear
over and pinioning the entire party
underneath. Mrs. Plummer was
thrown clear of the car, and the
Sadler family were all mixed in a
heap at the side and bottom of the
auto. but with Mr.. Plummer holding
the little Ford rom going over on
them. they soon succeeded in getting
out. None of the party were in
jured.
Mr.. Plummer and Mr. Sadler came
into Eureka and sent Earl Cobb and
his auto out after the women and
children, and all reached town that
afternoon safely.
The Eureka Garage repaired the
broken part and Mr.. Plummer
brought his auto into town the next
day none the worse as a result of the
accident.

John w. Nyce Obtains Amended Lease
on Cutting Property
By an agreement reached. the ex-
ecutors of the Francis Cutting estate
have changed the basis of settlement
of royalties on the Jennie A mine at
Hamilton. says the Ely Expositor.
According to the agreement. the or
iginal lease is amended to read that
the percentage shall be used upon
net smelter payments after deduct
ing railroad freight charges from
Eureka and cost of smelter assays
for all grade of ores of $35 or more;
to apply on all pres shipped since
July l, 1914. Ore below $35 per ton
in assay value to be concentrated and
taxed 20 per cent of net smelter pay
ment after similar deduction of
freight charges. 1t is also agreed
that if total shipment of ore and
concentrates from Eureka during the
year ending December 81, 1914,
amount to $50 tons or more net at
smelter, that the lessons would rebate
to lessee 5 per cent of total net
smelter payments.

er, Mining e. Transportation Com
pany has returned from a business
trip to Salt Lake. He reports that
his company is to resume operations
shortly, when more ore will be sent
to the smelter in Salt Lake valley.
The ore from the company's Grand
Prize mine carries good silver values
as well as running high in lead, and
as the prices for both metals are ad-
vancing and the company has con-
siderable ore in sight, operations
promise to be profitable and employ
ment will be given at the start to six
or eight men.
