highly confident OF a successful out

With the land question satisfactor-
lily adjusted, mediators and delegates
are concentrating their attention on
the exact manner in which a new
provisional government might be set
up to succeed the present regime.
That Huerta has formally indicated
his willingness to abide by the pro-
gramme thus far outlined Is no longer
doubted. The effort now is to ar
range for change of executives in
a dignlfied manner.
The conference in all probability
will not choose the provisional presi-
dent leaving that to the Mexico City
government itself, but the United
States must approve, however.

HUMBOLDT COUNTY
CLAIMS A RICH
PLACER STRIKE
DISCOVERY OF TRIBUTARY OF
LEONARD CREEK CAUSES
RUSH OF PRoSPEcToRS.

Northern Humboldt, which is al
ways considered one of the richest
mineral sections in the state, has
placer strike that is already begin
ming to attract considerable atten-
tion, says the Humboldt Star. The
strike was made in what Is known
as the Pine Forest range. in the
northwestern part of the county and
about ninety miles from Winnemucca.
The discovery was made by pros
pectors who have been working In
the camp of Dyke, which is situated
Just across the mountains and is
being found in the new diggings
The original claims were located
by Messrs. Moffet. Alley and Damon,
who first discovered gold at the sage
/ brush roots along the course of the
creek. Later they sank holes to the
I bedrock, when they found that the
I channel was rich in the precious
metal Not merely flakes, but small
nuggets like grains of wheat, and
even larger pieces are being panned
by these persistent prospectors.
The canyon or creek on which the
gold discovery was made is a tribu-
tary of Leonard creek, and is five or
six miles long with beautiful stream
of water flowing from one end to the
other
The shaft in which the first big
showing of gold was found reached
bedrock at only a depth of sixteen
feet, but other shafts sent down show
that the main channel Is from rs to
so feet deep There is convenient
fall to the canyon and it will be nc
trouble to reach bedrock by oper
cuts or bedrock tunnels. There Is
considerable water on the bedrock
besides that which is flowing on the
surface, and this and the gradua
grade of the canyon make 1t idea
placer mining ground.
The discovery was made som'
weeks ago and the locators tried t
keep their find quiet, at least unit
their locations were perfected. But
c as with all rich discoveries, the new
will leak out and now there are quit
number of people there and tn
outside ground is being rapid
staked.
A number of the people in the ne'
placer camp are from Alturas, Cal
and It is said that others are on thei
way there from the same section,
For some time the greater porto
of Leonard creek has been staked a
placer ground and gold can be foun
almost anywhere along the creek be-
: but so far, on account of the lare
. flow of water, the channel bedroc
has not been reached
The Pine Forest range of mou
s. tains is undoubtedly one of the grea
est gold-bearing sections in the Sta
of Nevada and reaches from over u
Oregon line to well down into Il
Black Rock desert distance of for
se miles or more. Over the large Il
g ritory there are number of quar-
ed gold camps and II Is said that gol
ed bearing rocks can be found in
lis most any part OF this big section.

M|L|TANTS WILL
BREAK UP ALL
SOCIAL AFFAIRS
WEDDINGS BECOME THE sPE-
clAL OBJECT OF THEIR
HATRED.

WY hAaOchNtC0 hhGHA@I
LONDON, May 27.-The threat of
the militant suffragettes to disturb
the social season has led society
leaders to take very strict precau-
tions. Weddings in which people OF
political Importance are interested
are marked for attack and already
several have been interrupted by wo-
men throwing leaflets from the gal
leries ON to the Wedding procession.
These pranks, while they cause much
annoyance to the wedding party. are
easily stopped by the refusal of ad-
mittance to any but friends holding
tickets.
The big political receptions given
by the wives OF the party leaders are
not so easy TO protect from the at
tentions of the militants. Hundreds
of invitations are issued and no host
ess likes to ask her guests to present
their tickets before being allowed to
enter her reception rooms. The result
is that many unlimited persons at
tend, and among these the suffra-
gettes intend to have their represen-
tatives. prepared to make the lives
of cabinet ministers and others un-
bearable. Churches, too. 1t is feared.
are being marked. Several old edi-
fees in London have been specially
insured against the risk of damage
by suffragettes,
