Kapp Predicts a Wonderful Future for Nye County Mining Town ORE SPECIMENS DAZZLE Richest Discoveries in the World of Auriferous Rock Credited to the New Camp R AR Charles ¥F. Kapp, president of the Man- hattan Electric Light and Water Power Company, is at the Palace. He says the new town in Nye County, Nevada, which only numbered thirty-five people Fon January 10 of this year, now has a population of 4000. The discoveries of gold there, he says, are the most won- derful the world has ever seen. Kapp has with him many ore speci- mens showing free gold in dazzling abundance. These are from the Bronco, Mustang, April Fool, Iron King, Iron Queen, Stray Dog, Annie Laurie, May- flower, St. George and Virginia mines. These last two properties recently were sold for $30,000. At present It is necessary to go. in by stage or automobile from Tonopah., a distance of fifty-five miles. President Tripp, manager of the Tonopah Railroad, thinks that if he can get the ties he will | have the railroad running into Manhat- tan within sixty days. The advance of realty has been enor- mous., Lots that were $4 50 ten days ago are now selling for $300. The town of Manhattan is located in a little valley sheltered from the winds and surrounded by a heavy growth of | trees in the belt sides immediately ad- joining. These give plenty of fuel. For an area of ten miles around practically all the land has been taken up. The wealth of Tonopah, Kapp says, now only plays a second part to the wealth of rich ores that have been discovered at Manhattan. Already there are five | banks in active operation there. Several | 1arge stores and hotels are In course of construction and will be ready for occu- pancy the latter part of this month. | EX-CONFEDERATES BAR MR.

ATLANTA, Ga., Feb. 4.—Joe Wheeler Camp, Confederate Veterans, of Atlanta, refused last night to admit President Rooseyelt to hcnorary membership. This comp attended General Wheeler's funeral in Washington and was received at the White House by the President. | At the regular meeting last night a member introduced a resofution to elect President Roosevelt to honorary member- | #hip because of his fondness for General Wheeler. Four-fifths of the members present were on their feet at once, attack- ing the President. The veterans were caustic in their comments on the invita- tion given to Booker T.

It showed prog- ress in the work and the existence of much enthusiasm, with prospect of ade- quate financial support. Following are the main features of the document: Your committee on organization has increased the number of organizations affiliated with the league to 174 as against 166 as reported at your last meeting. Five cvic nd seven fraiernal organizations withdrew their mem- bership, showing a total increase to the league of twenty new organizations which are repre- sented as follows: Civic organizations, 8; fraternal and benevolent organizations, = 24; military organization, 1, and labor organiza- tlons, 141, * This committce 13 stil enguged in visitin such bodies as are not ‘attlisted With the league—such members of your exeau- tive board who were also del to the State Federation of Labor and the State'Bulld- ing Trades Council have at the recent meetings of tho above-named organizations interested the representatives who attended these two con- ventions to the extent that your office has received many inquiries as to the mode of Pprocedurs of pursuing our subject With a view of effecting the purpose for which the league has been instituted. Of the labor organizations, six have fatled to contribute anything to the funds of the lsague for thres months, six for a period of six months and eleven organizations contributing . but once; of the remaining twenty-seven organiza- tions, fitteen are central bodies, two out of town and ten newly affillated organizations since your last meeting, 50 that e can report that all affiliated labor organizations are prac- tically contributing regularly. Your Committee on Publiclty and Statistles report bhaving completed the compilation’ of statistical material which Will make a pamph- let of about forty-eight pages, twelve of which will consist of tabulated matter. Copy was piaced In he hands of the printer on Monday anuary 22, with an order for 10,000 copies an satisfactory ararngements were made for_the E:mmg of a second edition if necessary. Your joard anticipated the pleasure of placing a py in the hands of each delegate this meeting, but owing to the large number of tables contained in the work, the printer has been unable to get them ready, owing to the lack of time incidental to the compilation of sald pamphlet. + ARTICLES ON STATISTICS. Your committee has been unable to continue its investigations as regards the Japanese in San Francisco and its immediate vicinity, as directed by this league. The labor press of San Francisco and the United States has been furnished with statistical articles from time to time and our movement has recsived a wide circulation, no less than 170 exchanges having reached your office containing printed matter issued therefrom. From_the Congressional Record it is learned that from the opening of Congress up to and including January 22, the petitions and resolu- tions presented to (hat honorable body en the great probiem of -immigration greatly exceed in number those of previous sessions. Thus far there have been five bills introduced and referred to the Committee on Immigration, but as they relate solely to the question of im- migration at large they do not concern our movement except that it may be possible to interest the signers of those petitions that they make common cause With us before the next session of Congress, , The measures before Congress, which particularly concern the Jap- anese and Korean Exclusion League, are: House bill 3160, known as the McKinley bill; Housge bill 8975, introduced by E. A. Hayes, a member of th league, and which is similar in chartacter to the Bl indorsed By you at the last meeting with the slight exception of an extension of time for registration from six months to one vear. There has also been introduced by Mr. Fos- ter of Vermont House bill 2881, for a modifica- tion of the Chinese exclusion act. The mod- ifications called for are 5o numerous and broad in scope that the passage of tha bill would simply mean a repeal of the existing act. As an liustration of the feeling exlsting against the present law we present in full a resolution passed by both houses of the Georgla Legisld. ture: “Whereas, The Chinese exclusion act is now bearing fts evil fruits in the boycott of Ameri- can goods and is likely to affect seriously our Southern products, as well as the Christian mission work in China unless repealed or mod- ified; therefore “Tesolved, by the House of Representatives of the State of Georgia (the Senate concurring), that the President of the United States and the Congress thereof are réspectfully urged to repeal or so modify what is known as ‘The Chinese Exclusion Act’ as will not only restofe friendly relations, but extend our commerce with that country. “Resolved, That & copy of this resolution be forwarded to the President, Vice President and Speaker of the National House of Representa- tives.” INTERIOR IS AROUSED. A volume of correspondence has beem re- celved from interior organizations, notifying the~eague of having adopted resolutions on Japanese and Korean exclusion and submitting information relative to the competition of Astatic labor in their respective localities, among which the following international asso- clations have pledged their support, adopted your resolutions and are giving our subjett the Widest possible publicity: The American Fed- eration of Labor, International Union of Ship- Wrights and Calkers, American Federation of Musicians, United Mine Workers of America, International Union of Wood, Wire and Metal Lathers, International Brotherhood of Team- sters, International Union of Shirtwaist and Launary Workers, Metal Polishers, Platers, Brass and Siiver Workers of North Amerlca, Brotherhcod of Locomotive Firemen, Interna- tidhal Union of Coopers, Brotherhood of Rail- way Clerks and the International Assoclation of Fur Workers, representing _approximately 800,000 of our citizens throughout the Kast, fogether with 877,500 indorsements reported at your meeting of October 22, 1805, bringing the total of indorsees at the present writing to over 1,100,000 citizens who have Indorsed our reso- on exclusion, with many more organi- yet to be-heard from. The board reported having sent. a protest to the President of the United States concerning the landing of Ching Hung Moh, a servant of one of the Chi- nese Commissioners, who were recently here. A request that “all possible meas- ures be taken to correct the error of the local authorities” in the matter was sent with the letter. It was also recommended that a gen- eral meeting of the league be held on the first Sunday of each month. ADDRESSES ARE MADE. W. K. Roberts of Santa Rosa, who was in the Chinese customs service in China, sald the boycott was growing, and that it could only be stopped by the gunboat or the repeal of the exclu- sion act. The agitation was being kept up by the “ceolie brokers,” he safd. If a European nation had had the matter to deal with it would have forcibly suppressed the boycott long ere this, he said. Japan was sustaining China in the matter because its people wanteg to get here, too. There was no danger of the Koreans coming, he said. D. W. Burchard spoKe on the degra- datfon and lack of moral standing of the class of Chinese and Japanese that would flood this country in case the bars were let down. He said the Jap- anese hypnotized American college pro- fessors and caused them to a stand against their own country. ‘Walter Macarthur gave an account of his appearance before the national con- forence of immigration in New York, which adopted resolutions favorable to the Chinese, and of his efforts to pre- vent such action. He said that of the other labor representatives present Samuel Gompers was the only one be- sides himself who raised a protest “Too Much National Civic Federation” was the cause, he said. g Delegate Graham said the statement | that there was no danger of the Ko- reans coming was untrue, as 4900 of them came here in one of the two years since tzuy had started to emigrate to Americ: > TELLS OF FINDS SAYS MOVEMENT MINES ARE SOLD AT MANHATTAN CAINS CROUND 'TO EASTERN MEN GOOD CLAIMS SOUGHT Tregidgo Outlines Policy of California Miners’ Association Relating to Rivers and Farmers. Mining properties in several sections in Californta would seem to be in demand. The news is confirmed of the sale of the Black Bear mine, which has long been associated with the name and enterprise of John Daggett. The mine consists of four patented full claims. It has a record of $3,000,000 output. It was worked many years by an English company. 1 ; The old Omega mine in Tuolumne Coun- ty has been sold to the Mother Lode and Table Mountain Mining Company. The Omega is the only combination mine on a large scale in the country. Through | one shaft a vein and a gravel deposit can be worked simultaneously. A three com- partment shaft was driven down on an incline 165 feet. Five hundred feet away, under a lava cap, is an ancient river channel, which will yield placer gold. The prife pald for the Omega Is T ported to be $25,000. The King and Scott mines near Seneca, in Plumas County, the.Big Canyon mine near Shingle Springs in Placer County, ' the Louisiana mine at Cherokee and the Golden Dawn mine near Soulsbyville, Tuolumne County-all are under bond to - 1. ‘The Bullychoop miné was sold recently to Bastern parties. A fifty-stamp mill will be put on the property, so the Redding Searchlight reports, According to the same journal, the Mountain Copper Com-7 pany, which has begun to ship copper Bast from its plant at Martinez, will soon resume work on a large scale at the Iron Mountain and Hornet mines in Shas- ta County. The Posey mine near Grass Valley, Ne- vada County, has been bonded by Robert Richardson. The Herman mine near West Point, Calaveras County, has re- sumed operations. ‘Within a short time five giants will be playing on the property of the Beaudrey and Unity mines in Trinity County. These are large hydraulic properties. The Beau- drey mine embraces 3000 acres. Twenty- | five miles of ditch have been dug in main | line and laterals to convey water from the east fork of Stuart's Fork to the auriferous ground. Recent changes in ownership of mining properties in the Ballarat district are re- ported. Propertles at Mineral Hill have been bought by Pittsburg people, who have let a contract for twenty additional stamps. A ledge discovered by Peter Augerberry is reported to have been sold for $150,000 to Eastern men..-An outcrop on the Black Water trail between Fur- nace Creek and Ballarat has been sold. This was discovered by “‘Shorty” Harris. TREGIDGO TELLS POLICY. President Tregidgo of the California Miners’ Assoclation has written a state- ment of his purposes, which is interest- ing. Some of his paragraphs are as fol- lows: “It is my intention to endeavor to ameliorate the existing troubles that are shared by the farmer and the miner, and to ascertain if some plan cannot be devised whereby both industries can be benefited. There is no reason why the hundreds of millions of dollars known “to exist In the aulferous gravel deposits in the mountains cannot be extracted without injury to the agricultural inter- ests of the valleys, any more than there would be In stating that the Sacramento River could not be de navigable or the swamp lands on its banks reclaimed. It is simply a matter of engineering abil- ity and necessary appropriations. The engineers we have, and the appropria- tions we can get, if our representatives in Congress and members of our State Legislature be once enabled by the farm- ers and miners of this State to act to- gether and not pull against each other. In order to obtain this much desired end, it will be advisable to have representative mining men meet representative farming men and find out the best plan to be pursued that will bring the most good to both industries. “I shall be glad to appoint a commit- tee from our assoclation to meet a com- mittee of farmers in Marysville at any time—the sooner, the better. Let us | able. '!lvity in the desert portions of the State ia letter to mining corperations through- | the finest properties in_the district are ether, talk the matter over and :::n :vl:zf can be done, and determine on a definite plan to pursue, and do ity Then send a memorial to Congress while it is yet in session, that our representa- tives can act as a unit, and represent the joint interests of the farmer and the miner and not act separately. The Los Angeles Mining Review re- ports an offer of $1,000,000 in Southern California to any one who shall dis- cover a process by which hematite iron ore of good quality may be commer- clally smeltea by the use of California crude ofl as fuel. “The man who can first demonstrate to the satisfaction of the parties interested that, dispensing with coke altogether an olely rely- ary degree ing upon oil for the nec of heat, he can produce pigiron in com- petition with Pennsylvania furnaces, will have a great sum at his imme- dlate command. . “In Kern County, as also in San Ber- nardino and San Diego countles, and Lower California, Mexico, there are immense deposits of iron ore, practi- cally free from phosphorus and sul- phur. The Kern déposit is within twen- ty miles of the Kern River, McKittrick and Sunset ol fields, and close to the last mentioned. The ore could be mined by quarrying—the cheapest pro- cess known. It could be brought by gravity, over a short distance in miles, to the greatest oil field in the world, producing in unlimited quantity the xcheapest fuel in the world. | “The problem is how to dispense with coke. Fifty or more of the brightest metallurgists in California are working to solve it. The solution is of vast im- porfance to the industrial development of this part of the country, and the brightest minds of the scientific world should know that here is an opportuni- ty to bring prosperity to millions of people, and millions of money to the fortunate one who shall work out a #uccessful method.” SUITS FOLLOW JUMPING. 13 / the workings, shaf{s and outhouses and every other old thing that happens to lie handy belonging to his neighbors.” These proceedings- have resulted in & dozen or more suits, and others are prob- There is on exhibition at the Stat Min- ing Bureau a sample of the metallic guide Dosts which are now being erected in the desert sections of Kern, Los Angeles, San Diego, Riverside, Inyo and Sen Bernar- dino counties. An appfopriation of 35000 was made by the last Legislature for the purchase of these posts, through the ef- forts of State Mineralogist Aubury. The Posts are designed to lead the desert trav- || | eler to points where water is available, and as a general guide to the different mines and camps. As there is more ac- at the present time, and there promises to be a greater number of prospectors in that region during the coming summer than ever before, the Lives of many pros- pectors will undoubtedly be saved through the agency of these guide posts. State Mineralogist Aubury has sent out out California preiiminary to getting to- | gether the statistics of mineral produc- tion for the year 1905. Assurance of se- crecy is made to secure the desired in- formation. All communications will be treated confidentially, and the records of production are used only In the making up of the totals. . | L HISTORY OF MANHATTAN. anhattan has a newspaper-known as | the Manhattan Mall. This ;our.a‘f\ glves | the following, purporting to be an accur- ate account of the discovery of the new- est of Nevada's gold camps: | “The discovery of gold in the Manhat- tan Canyon was made by Joha C. Hum- phrey, Frank G. Humphrey, C. A. Cooper and G. E. Maute on April 4, 1%05. Rock taken from the Ida and Lottie claims was assayed, giving a return of $ 28 a ton. On the strength of this showing John Humphrey staked the now famous April Fool, War Eagle, Tip Top, Lottie and Ida | claims. . After staking these the parties returned to their Peavine ranch in Smoky Valley and did not visit the Manhattan property until in June, when they came up to do their location work. “‘On a hot day in the latter part of June the Humphrey party was enjoying lunch under a pine on the hillside on the War Eagle. John Humphrey carelessly broke a plece of rock from a ledge near where they sat. Frank Humphrey picked it up and found it to be Impregnated with shining gold. That was the great Man- hattan strike. The party finished their location work and only staked one more small fraction .n the upper gulch. “Some time in July the news of the strike reached Tonopah and during that month and August there was waged a terrific campaign of staking. Interest in Manhattan again began to hum and by the first of December the move- ment to Manhattan had quietly begun. By the end of December the move- ment was an avalanche and the eyes of Nevada and the coast were on the new camp. At the present moment many of being shaped for incorporation. “There are a greater number of rich and highly promising claims in this dis- trict than any other mining camp In America had six months after dis- covery." —_——————— Try the United States Laundry. 1004 Market street.
