1'HIL.ADKI.PHIA. Ot-t. 22 Under most
unusual conditions 'The Clansman" was
presented here tonight at the Walnut
t-lrept Theater. The colored clergy of the
city, had made a formal protest to Mayor
Weaver against the production, claiming
that "lynchings had been encouraged by
..the play." The Mayor refused to take
action.
About a half hour before the theater
opened. Ninth and Walnut streets, where
the playhouse Is located, were packed with
colored people. Director of Public Safety
McKenna, who had hastened to- the
siene. begEed the ministers to disperse
the mob. A riot call was sent in and pa
, tml wagons brought 50- policemen to the
theater.
The ministers surrounded McKenna and
asked that he stop the performance. Mc
Kenna addressed them, saying that he
would endeavor to have the presentation
discontinued after tonieht. This seemed
to have a soothing effect and the crowd
slowly scattered.
Karly in the evening a negro attempted
to create a disturbance in the theater. He
was arrested, but the police had consid
erable difficulty in rescuing him from the
crowd in the .nailery. ,

WASHINGTON, Oct. 21 X. F. Thomp
son of Chattanooga, Tenn., called at the
White House today and invited President
"Roosevelt to attend the immigration and
iuarantir.e conference to be held in Nash
ville next month, and on the President's
" invitation Mr. Thompson called again to
night. The President has. . however, de
clined the invitation, because he could not
lind it possible to attend.
Mr. Thompson said he suggested to the
3resident that the idle negroes in the
South be utilized for labor on the Panama
canal. "The better class or negroes in
the South," he expluined, "would aid the
white people in securing this class of la
bor for tnat work. It is the idle negro
that makes the trouble in the South and
reflects on the better class of negroes.
"The .President was impressed with the
suggestion and asked ine to have a talk
with Secretary Taft and Mr. Shonts. on
the subject. 1 will call on them tomor

to several hours late. Cattle and other
stock on ranges suffered from the wet
snow and cold.

BORDERS OF DEATH VALLEY
Country of Sand, Gold and Sun
shine, Where Water Is Hauled
Fifty Miles Immense Riches
Which Cause Stampedes.
BEATTY. Xev., Ort. 22. (Special.)
Mining men and capitalists, following the
golden trail, experience a decidedly novel
sensation when visiting either the Bull
frog or Goldrield districts of Southern Ne
vada, or the Greenwater copper lields,
just over ' the line in. California. To be
whisked by an automobile across the des
ert and into the shadow of the famous
Death Valley is a thriller that has'here
tofore been denied the cosmopolite in the
mad race for hidden treasure. The ben
zine wagon, as an adjunct to' the pros-,
pecting and development of a highly min
eralized, desert zone is something out of
the ordinary.
Beatty and Phyolite, in the heart of the
Bullfrog district, 120 miles by a new line
of rail from the Salt Lake route's main
line, are just enjoying the sensations of
its first railway train. The old stage
coach is being pushed farther into the
interior, and all who now come to Bull
frog'travel by rail to taa, very entrance to
the tunnels in which phenomenal strikes
have so recently caused stampede after
stampede; Rich quartz veins, seamed with
gold and studded with nuggets, have
quickly turned dry prospect holes into
dlvidencl-paying mines and made million
aires out of grubstaked prospectors. But
such is life on the desert.
Where Autos Beat Camels.
At Beatty the steam car is abandoned
for the automobile, and those who go on
to Goldfleld. a distance of 77 miles, pay $25
for the. privilege, and as a reward enjoy
six hours of the silent monotony of un
changing desert scenery.
' Greenwater. the copper field wonder just
over the line in California, is 50 miles dis
tant, and to it a full-fledged stampede is
now well- on. The fare by automobile is
$20, and the road is lined with treasure
hunters. The camp is right on the edge
of the desert, with not a drop of water
or a stick of timber in sight or within
many miles, and the horrors and bleach
ing bones of Death Valley within hailing
distance. Everything has to be hauled in
over a gravelly road upon which the rays
of the desert sun beat without mercy.
That it is an expensive tamp needs not
the telling. The freight on lumber from
the nearest railway point, 50 miles away,
is $60 per 1000 feet. The freight charges
on machinery exceed the original cost.
Water 1s $7.50 per barrel.' It has to be
hauled from Furnace Creek. 27 miles dis
tant, and the best a ten-horse team can
do is to drag 1000 gallons over the road.
It costs $10 per day to board a team
there, and ham arid eggs, fried to a crisp,
are in demand at $1. Gambling is wida
open and the saloon doors are never
closed. -Four Copperopolis townsites-touch
elbows, and a couple of newspaper plants
are already on the ground or on the way.
Beyond Dreams of Avarice.
. Two railroads are now approaching this
camp, .where .the .rich copper croppings
-are found, the geological formation being
so different from that of any previous
discovery, as to have, entirely escaped no
tice untii quite recently.
The one developed mine upon which
Beatty and the Bullfrog district rely in
part for future greatness is -the Montgomery-Shoshone,
which was located in Sep
tember, two years ago. by a Shoshone In
dian. It was not until six months later,
however, that active work was com
menced. In the short space of seven
months a score of men had blocked out
over $1,000,000 worth of ore. This was an
average of about $1000 per day per man,
and since that time the showing has con
tinued to -improve and a 100-stamp mill
is about to-be installed.
The Bullfrog district first attracted at
tention in August. 1004, when news of the
phenomenal : strike in the mine of the
same .name v,hs made public. A flood of
prospectors followed the strike, and to
day at least four prosperous mining
camps stand where. only a few scattering
prospect holes were to be seen '.a year
ago.
'Generally speaking, the ore of the dis
trict' is readily, crushed, and the values
are saved by simple methods : of treat
ment. .'.
